Kingfisher

Service and food was amazing. Rooms could have had shampoo, conditioner and maybe body soap. I stayed 5 nights and my room wasn’t cleaned once. The hotel was under construction with no notice prior. They have no pool but one is coming. No room service. Beautiful boutique style accommodation. Not 1000’s of people like a few properties along.

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.

I love Kingfisher hotel. The food is excellent & the staff are fabulous. I think they need to do the software upgrades to the TV,s as I was not able to watch Netflix with my own account.

Overpriced. Very little vegetarian options. Very Noisy!!!We arrived on Saturday and in the hotel they played electronic music till 6AM. Room was big and clean but there was no proper door between bathroom and the bedroom so it was lime and open space. Overall never coming back

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.
