Poor value for money at a beautiful turtle beach

Great location right at the turtle beach.

Keep an eye on your wallet. Aside from charging already a 20% (!) service fee, the hotel has clearly a main focus on profitability. Even bacon is charged extra when you order English breakfast. Glass in the bathrooms had not been cleaned for a while. Restaurant food was mediocre at best. Lowest value for money during our complete Sri Lankan trip.

Comfortable stay with amazing view and friendly staff

We stay in this hotel for a 3th time. It is a small hotel with beautiful garden and amazing view over the ocean and the waves crashing in the rocks. We stay in a cabana, which has a very comfortable bed, spacious bathroom and large furnished veranda with view to the garden and the ocean. The staff are very friendly and provide perfect service. Very clean and properly kept. Beach is good for walking. Unawatuna is very short tuk-tuk drive away.

The furniture is old, but kept in a very good way. Still a bit of refreshment, would be nice

Very good

Really nice and friendly staff. We were treated as princesses.

Nice staff and really beautiful view.

The location is not perfect. You will need to take a tuk tuk or the bus to find a restaurant. But it is pretty easy and cheap.

Amazing stay in RSC

A spacious bungalow in a well-maintained garden. Right next to the beach with large turtles that you can feed with seaweed :) But all this would be insignificant without the people working in this place. I'm talking about a manager named Nishantha and his associate Kokila. Incredibly friendly, polite and customer-oriented people. They do a great job there. Very efficient cleaning crew consisting of 2 very nice ladies whose names we did not know. I must also mention the gentleman opening the entrance gate. Truly a 5 star team! Breakfast very good, dishes from the menu as well. Great mohitos! Book without hesitation :)

Lovely place, great position tight on the beach

Food, staff, room and view were all excellent. Recommended.

A very minor complaint, which is nothing the hotel can change: its position on the main road meant to go anywhere else involved a Tuk Tuk ride - very dangerous to walk anywhere. Happily there was one always available, but this was low season so the local driver was always at hand

Amazing stay in large cabanas by the beach near giant turtles

Despite arriving very late, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome including delicious fresh passion fruit juice. Our cabana was beautifully presented with ample space and spotlessly clean. Staff were well trained and very attentive. Breakfast was served on the veranda of our cabana each morning with options presented to us the night before. Highlights included the king coconut and kola kenda. On request, lunch and drinks were served to the cabana with an attention button in case we needed to order more. The cabanas are located metres away from the beach, a short walk to the right of the hotel which takes you to the giant turtles conservation area. We recommend going in the morning, preferably before breakfast (take 1000 rupees to buy seaweed for the turtles from a local seller) and then hopefully, like us, enjoy some time alone with the turtles. This was a highlight of our week long visit to Sri Lanka. Off season, the water was fairly choppy on the first day (I recommend to take water shoes for the rocks) however much calmer on the second day and an easier walk on the sand. An alternative walk is heading to the left of the hotel where you can walk for miles along deserted beaches, spotting smaller turtles along the way! There are a few obstacles to climb over but all manageable. If you do not wish to eat at Rockside, then a bustling area on the beach full of bars and restaurants is just a 10 minute Tuk Tuk ride away. We recommend Samson Seafood Restaurant which delighted us with an exceptional seafood platter and wonderful service.
