Ceylon Sungarden

The host family were the loveliest we have met in Sri Lanka, going the extra mile to ensure we had a nice stay: They gave us fresh juice on arrival, provided transport if we needed, showed us the local turtles and where to go for a sunset swim, just across the road! They were very accommodating to provide breakfast at the time that suited us and the food was delicious! The room was well equipped with air con, mosquito net, wardrobe, towel rail and there is a nice balcony and living area just for their guests as well as private entrance if you prefer. Their daughter speaks great English as well and we had a lovely evening cooking together with them learning how to make traditional Sri lankan dishes! They have a beautiful garden with so many fruits and wildlife - we saw monkeys in the tree! The location was great, just outside the busy Unawatuna but right off the main coastal highway so really easy to get up or down but much quieter beaches.

Some noise from the train line but no trains overnight!

The hosts were lovely and kind. Good location to the beach where you can see big turtles swimming just by walking on the beach.

It was a particularly hot when I stayed so maybe an extra fan could be available when the weather is warmer then usual.
