Thambapanni Retreat

Очень красивая территория,просторный номер. Красивый вид с балкона. Пешая доступность до пляжа. Из минусов:большая слышимость,живность под крышей не давала нормально спать по ночам (шум от бега,писки и крики). В целом довольны,понравится тем кто ищет уединения от суеты и любителям природы)

We had lunch several times at Thambapanni restaurant located by the Unawatuna beach. The food was amazing and the hospitality of the staff was exceptional. Each time we were served by Indunil and he was so knowledgeable about not only what dishes were the best but also about where to visit and their history. His knowledge of the history of the area and the history of Sri Lanka in general was outstanding. All I can say is that he is a great asset to Thambapanni!!! Anyone visiting there should check him out. His amazing stories as well as his thoughtful service at the restaurant were delightful, second to none! Thank you Indunil.

Firstly this probably merits 3.5 out of 5. The reason is I felt quite disappointed when we arrived, having booked directly with the hotel and asking for “Superior” rooms which bear no resemblance to the Superior ones shown on the well-known booking site. I initially thought we’d been given the wrong rooms and had to double check with reception . We had two rooms which at $96 per night were the most expensive of our trip. We don’t normally spend a lot on hotels so this was meant to be a treat at the end of a long tour. These rooms were pretty basic, smelt quite musty as they were built in to the rock face, had many steps to reach and the sofa in one room was torn. The mosquito net had several holes in it. I understand that Sri Lanka has had a rough time recently but to charge these kind of prices, especially in the low season is not really justifiable. The hotel really needs a good returb, and I noticed that the rooms below ours were being updated during our stay. Plus points were the staff - absolutely amazing, helpful and polite and the food which was delicious- try the fresh fish/seafood plates. Also it was really difficult to find! Put up a sign board! The hotel has some way to go before it can be accurately described as a “luxury boutique hotel”. Overpriced.
