Cocobay Unawatuna

This is a great hotel! We really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy, and the hotel staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Nethmi, Malish, Upul, Pathum, and everyone else we met were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay. The food was delicious, and the location is fantastic—just a few meters from the ocean. We honestly wished we had more time to stay a few more days and enjoy the hotel and its beautiful surroundings. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay.

Nothing

The beach is right in front of the hotel, We upgraded to a room with a hot tub and private pool. The food was excellent, and the room was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and loved the hotel dogs as well!

The toilet needed to be filled with water occassionally to flush, which was minor issue. There should be more lights in the suites outdoor area- that would be nice for the private pool

Excellent location with private beach

Buffet breakfast would have been better. In La cart, choice is always limited.

The room was spacious and made a great first impression. I had booked a room with a plunge pool and was pleasantly surprised to also find a jacuzzi in the bathroom, which I had not expected. The bathroom itself was very large and the room felt comfortable overall. Staff were welcoming and respectful throughout my stay, and I especially appreciated being allowed an early check-in, which made arrival much easier.

As a solo female traveller, the main downside was the lack of privacy. Although there are partitions between neighbouring rooms, the front of the plunge pool area is open and there is frequent foot traffic from staff. I often felt exposed when using the outdoor area and had staff constantly looking in towards the evening when the room lights were on, I ended up keeping curtains closed in the room, which reduced the benefit of having the view. The plunge pool layout was also inconvenient as the pool sits directly between the room and the seating area, leaving no easy path around it. The beach itself is relatively small and does not feel particularly private, with local activity and boats nearby, so travellers expecting a secluded resort beach experience may want to manage expectations.
