Joe's Resort Unawatuna

This place is amazing! The food is delicious with generous portions, leaving you fully satisfied. The customer service is warm and friendly, making the experience even better. The location is stunning, with a calm and beautiful beach—perfect for relaxing and having fun. A great spot to enjoy good food and unwind!

Avoid this scamming place. Went for dinner with husband (for the owners attention - this was Thursday 3rd April - 7:30ish, only one waiter working, who needs to be sacked because he’s cheating you) . We ordered an appetizer followed what we thought would be a soup course each. It all arrived together, no biggie, soups were delicious & appetizer was OK. Immediately after the soup being served the waiter tried to serve my husband his main course, there was firstly, little to no room on the table and secondly, who throws that much food at customers all at once?? It was not late, approx 7:45pm, but abundantly obvious they wanted us in & out of the restaurant. We sent my husbands main away, but knowing it would likely be cold or over cooked (calamari isn’t great either cold or overcooked) when it reappeared - dinner spoilt. Starters were taken away and mains served immediately, and as expected cold. We eat it anyway and decide to let it go rather than waste food. This is basic hospitality, don’t throw food at people, allow sufficient time & be conscious of the temperature at which you serve food. Then we get presented with the bill, well 2 bills; one an itemised bill, with a hand written receipt attached for some additional drinks we ordered, a blatant scam to pocket the extra, the waiter wrongly assumed we’d pay cash, he told us we must pay cash, I knew this to be a lie as the place is a modern, lovely looking hotel, we had cash but there was NO way I was going to allow the scam after an already spoilt dinner. I insisted on a card machine (he disappeared off with the machine for a while - not sure why?) but miraculously he was able to retype a fully itemised receipt??? Hmmm, anyway - management it’s over to you, scammers shouldn’t be employed. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth about staying at any ‘joes resorts’ …. Receipts are attached for your reference. In hindsight, we shouldn’t have paid either bill, a spoilt evening all round due to ‘bad egg’ staff …. You’ll need to watch your belongings at this place.

De locatie van Joes Resort was heel goed, aan t einde van dorp zonder drukke waterscooters e.d. Helaas viel de kamer qua formaat nogal tegen en was er geen grotere beschikbaar. De manager, de receptionist en alle andere medewerkers erg aardig en behulpzaam ondanks dat er nogal onbehouwen Russen in het hotel zaten. Ontbijt en diner prima verzorgd!! Het is erg jammer dat door de ruwe zee een stuk van het strand is weggeslagen. groeten van Angela uit Nederland.

Wir verbrauchten 4 Nächte hier im Februar 2025 und waren sehr zufrieden. Alle Zimmer mit Meerblick wobei unser Zimmer im 1.Stock einen tollen Ausblick aufs Meer bot. Ein Lift war auch vorhanden. Vielseitige Küche aber einmal mussten wir ca 1h warten da vor uns eine Reisegruppe bestellte. Strand sehr schön aber teilweise sind Spuren von Schweröl sichtbar. Zimmer sauber AC funktioniert. Viele Restaurants am Strand. Der Receptionist Sumeera war sehr hilfreich. Exkursionen ins nahe Galle, zu eine nahen Lagune, einem ayurvedischen Spice Garden oder zu einer Sea Turtle Rettungsstation

Joe‘s Resorts sind einfach besonders. Unawatuna, Bentota, Thalpe, Era, Yala, Little England, Im Februar sind wir wieder da.✨✨ Joe hat einfach gutes Personal. Egal wo, wir fühlen uns immer gut aufgehoben. Die Hotel Anlagen sind gepflegt. Die einheimische Küche genießen wir jedesmal wieder aufs Neue. Joe‘s Köche sind auch für extrawünsche zu haben.

Отдых прошел замечательно, начиная с перелета Аэрофлотом и заканчивая двухдневной экскурсией от Библио Глобус "Культурная Шри-Ланка". Разместились в отеле Joes Resort Unawatuna, ниразу не пожалели, что выбрали именно этот отель для отдыха - океан в 15 метров от отеля, пероснал очень старается, везде очень чисто, территория маленькая, но очень уютная, вид из номера на океан просто потрясающий, хорошие завтраки, прекрасный инфинити-бассейн. Впечатления от отеля и самой Шри-Ланки остались самые положительные!
