Kingfisher

Hôtel parfait sur la plage mais attention , soirée musique très animées

I travel a lot (I've been to 100 plus countries and am fairly flexible) and I found this hotel disappointing compared to my expectations. The staff was friendly and it's right on the beach. Our room was nice and large and had a great shower and looked out to the beach however the main curtain over the front window didn't work and was down the entire we were there. They attempted to fix it and briefly jimmied it briefly but never came back to fix it so we never really enjoyed the view from the room. Just in front of the bathroom sink and counter is a 1 inch raised step that's tiled exactly the same as the rest of the bathroom and I stubbed my toe 10+ times it, as did my nephew. The hotel has a number of great beach chairs, however passersby who aren't staying at the hotel are free to use them so they can quickly start filling up in the morning. It would be nice if they would reserve the best beach chairs for hotel guests but you need to get up early and reserve them with your towel. There's also a bar/restaurant next door that plays LOUD music with LOUD fireworks every hour until at least midnight. I really like the staff at the hotel and the location, but I won't stay here again.

Expensive for the service provided. Broken (always working and very cold) AC.

Urlaub in toller Lage das Hotelpersonal war absolut demontiert, wenn man etwas wollte z.b. Das das Zimmer gereinigt wird, musste man suchen, bis man jemanden fand, der es erledigte, Frühstückservice schlecht, Strandservice schlecht (es wird den ganzen Tag nichts abserviert, wir trugen teilweise die Getränke zur Bar zurück) Der einzige nette Mann war der Nachtportier!!!! echt schade, dass man so eine coole Location durch Personal vermiesen kann.

Our family of 7 took 3 tuktuks from Galle to Unawatuna which took under 30 minutes and cost 2500 LKR (about £6) return each. The drivers dropped us at the Kingfisher which had been recommended by our hotel and they were happy to wait while we enjoyed lunch and absorbed the beach atmosphere. The menu and service were good and we were all happy with our choices. We used the sunloungers, walked along the beautiful sandy beach and some swam. The sea has big rolling breakers for surfers and we were happy to sit and watch. Not so happy to see the man with a snake and another with a sad little monkey on a rope. Unawatuna had lots of beach shops and looked a fun place to stay.

We had lunch and dinner here and that as excellent!!! At sea and the owner and staff was very, very kind! You have to come here! We had a perfect place naar the sea also the chairs were good, foodprocessor was excellent
