We stayed at this hotel for 2 days on our recent trip to Sri Lanka. I have to say that the host, Weston, is an excellent English gentleman. He was always around to make you feel comfortable, and ever-present. I actually opted for this hotel after reading all the reviews on this website. We took the direct train from Kandy... more

We stayed here twice within our 3 week trip to Sri Lanka. The first stay was for 7 nights in an upstairs A/C room then we returned after a 10day tour for 3 nights in a downstairs non A/C room. The upstairs rooms come equipped with A/C, tea/coffee making facilities, a stocked fridge and balcony. The only possible downside to... more

We been looking for a small and cozy hotel, romantic place for two people. Unobtrusive staff, delicious food, deserted beach, a cozy room and very friendly and attentive owner. If you want a romantic and secluded holiday, this place will not leave you indifferent. Looking forward to visit paradise again. more

I've been visiting Unawatuna pretty much every month for 2 years - and recommend DBR as the perfect place to relax. The rooms are large and airy - and all have sea views - great value. The food is really terrific - western or sri lankan - all the best local produce and fresh seafood - eggs and fruit are... more

We decided to spend our autumn vocation in Sri-Lanka. Reading a lot of reviews about hotels in this country we finally decided to stay in Dalawella Beach Resort. And we did not regret about this decision! The hotel is organized by a European and for Europeans. The stuff was very hospitable and friendly. Everyone from the room stuff to the... more

We wanted to spend a good weekend relaxing in the south coast and decided to stay at Dalawella beach resort after reading the reviews and the holiday ended up as a nightmare. The hotel was just by the main road and even though its called a resort it had only 6 rooms and 1 cabana, it was pretty much a... more

This was our great adventure; first trip outside of Europe. Welcomed in the hotel with great warmth and a cold beer. The first few days we were the only guests, so the staff was completely dedicated to making us happy...and they did! Nothing was too much. One night we arrived back in the hotel at 11 pm not having eaten... more

This place is lush, the friendly English (/Dutch) owner Weston is a legend and made our honeymoon a real treat. It's very close to the Unawatuna bay (a short tuk-tuk ride) and we went down there often to chill and eat dinner. Not that we had to though - the food and service in the hotel were excellent and their... more

The moment I walked thru the large archway doors from the road and found myself in a tree filled garden right on the beach, I knew I had found what I needed. I was given a warm welcome from the staff and was served a cool beer in the bar/restraurant overlooking a huge swathe of coconut treelined beach. I was... more
