If there was any suggestion I could make, the only small thing missing for us would be the ability to be able to buy drinks and snacks from the hotel in the day time after breakfast but water is free and always available and there is a restaurant and shop just around the corner from the hotel.

Couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay! The morning of checkin, my partner put his back out and was as bed-bound for almost a week while it healed. We ended up extending our stay to almost two weeks to allow him time to get better and we’re so thankful we were checking into such a lovely hotel when this happened! Our room (studio with terrace) was massive, the pictures don’t do it justice at all, beautiful big windows/doors with a lovely view of the garden letting in loads of light (but with big proper curtains for privacy if you want it) A comfy sofa and arm chair, dining table, kitchen with huge fridge and ample cooking facilities, lovely bathroom. The mattress was probably the best we’ve ever slept on in a hotel, so comfy, great pillows too. The AC was amazing and room very well insulated, we could turn the AC off all day while we were out and we’d come back to a room still cool. Plus the room was super clean and considering we were on the ground floor we were surprise we didn’t have any ants or bugs at all in the room. Lovely big pool that’s cleaned & maintained several times a week by a pool professional, big comfy, padded sun loungers. Tasty and varied breakfast menu - because we were there so long we tried everything on the menu and it’s all delicious and served fresh to order. Proper good French press coffee! Everyone who works there is happy and helpful and full of smiles and you can tell it’s a family run place. FREE water refills were a life saver! Two very cute cats owned by the family were also a joy to play with. Some might fear the location is a little out of town but it’s a short 10 minute walk down the hill and you’re at the beach or in town, and there are a number of restaurants just around the corner from the hotel anyway as well as a small local shop selling snacks and drinks for a very reasonable price. Also, there are loads of options on Uber eats that deliver to the hotel if you want a chilled night in.

The property is clean, well-located, and has huge rooms. There’s also a pool which can be used until 11 pm and that is something given how pool timings generally work! The owner, Ransi, is extremely sweet and would go out of her way to help! There are a bunch of cafes and souvenir shops in the street just outside Paradiso.

Very spacious room, nice bathroom with extra towels for the swimming pool, mini kitchen with fridge, balcony with great view. Breakfast was excellent, the owner and the staff very friendly and helpful. Great location, very quiet but only 10 mins away from the beach and the city centre. I would definitely recommend this property.

Breakfasts in Sri Lanka were excellent but unfortunately the breakfasts at this hotel were basic with little choice. Disappointing.

Fantastic studio in a superb location. Fab balcony overlooking the sea in one direction and the jungle in the other. Hosts were very helpful.

The room and premises are beautiful, everything is clean, and the owner and staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The owner helped accommodate all our needs, including organising laundry services externally, transportation, and installing new wifi for our work calls. The room was huge and really beautiful.

Hotel is up the hill, so sometimes we needed to rent a tuktuk to get to it. Also towels were a little bit dirty. And we had a transparent glass door to the bathroom. It was okay because there were only too of us, me and my friend. But the hotel needs to come up with any idea of curtains because it's a little embarassing to see your friend sitting on a toilet:)

I really liked the quietness of the place, the breakfast was good and the pool was never busy. Studio room had a good air conditioning and was really big.

Absolutely nothing I didn’t want to leave and would book it again if I ever returned to Unawatuna.

The owners of this hotel are wonderful the staff are lovely and friendly, the rooms are spacious with very comfy beds and sofas. Wi-Fi is outstanding. Swimming pool huge. Omelettes are perfect and great coffee. Monkeys can be seen in the trees from the garden and the location is perfect it sits only a short walk from jungle beach which has a great restaurant and the beach is beautiful and the village on Unawatuna with loads of amazing beach restaurants and little shops.

Big fresh room with separate summer kitchen where you can cook. Good big bed, also we had a sofa in our room and very good bathroom. Every day we had good breakfasts with delicious coffee. Owners helped us with everything we needed. Thank them very much for their big job in this place and for friendly atmosphere. This place is settled down between 2 beaches - Unawatuna beach and Jungle beach

The staff at breakfast failed to serve us the dishes we ordered each time out of three. Each morning there was something they mixed up - amount of portions, drink selection etc. It seemed that their English was not enough. In the rooms there are occasional spider nets. Moreover, I could not sleep well - there are dogs on the premises who are barking in the night, and the curtains are not thick enough. Though I used ear plugs and a sleeping mask, I still could not get enough rest.

When we were approaching the hotel by car, I was a bit afraid of its location - it seemed to be further from the ocean and Main Street than I expected. However, it later turned out as an advantage. The hotel is located away from the noise but still very close to the 2 beaches. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. We had a spacious family apartment consisting of 2 bedrooms (one having a spacious living room to hang out) - and a joined balcony with kitchenette to enjoy the meal together. There was enough of hot water in both bathrooms. The staff couldn’t have been better, the owners are a lovely couple eager to answer all questions. The kids loved the spacious pool with sunbeds - and a cat they stalked around. The breakfast was very tasty, with variety of eggs and pancakes. Thank you for having us around!

There was no hot water in the evenings. At the exit from the room to the backyard, construction work was carried out, they started early in the morning and did not allow them to sleep.

Clean cozy, friendly staff. Large and clean swimming pool, well-groomed area around. Very large room with a separate exit to your patio.

Such a great place to stay in Unawatuna. It's a nice and quiet area surrounded by nature. The owner is very friendly and communicative. All the staff who work at Paradiso are willing to help at any time with anything and never stop smiling. My partner and I love this place so much that we've decided to extend our stay to 6 days.

A bit of a walk up a hill from the beach but nice quiet location.

Owners were lovely. Great jungle setting with beautiful gardens. Big rooms with kitchen and sofa area to chill out. Good value for money. It was great for us as a family as we had two rooms that shared a private balcony and kitchen. Our girls loved all the little frogs in the garden and seeing monkeys on the way to dinner.

Extremely friendly and ready to help staff. We were able to use owner's kitchen since our apartment didn't have it. The view from the balcony and roof was stunning. The hotel stays in a very quiet location surrounded by jungle. Totally recommended.
