Overall Ratings & Reviews Thaproban Pavilion Resort & Spa

Had to wait over an hour past posted check in time. Was told some story about the AC, but, seems it was housekeeping as the floors were wet when we finally checked in. Room was run down..biggest issue was that neither of the two showers drained properly. In fact, sewage came up and created an offensive odor. This was reported to the front desk and repairs were attempted, but not done properly. So, the room still smelled BAD. Also, the workman left a BIG mess. I had to go to the front desk to ask to have it cleaned. While the manager was interested in our stay, all he did was provide a late day fruit plate! No thanks. Avoid this place. It is over priced for what you get. One of my worst stays ever.

Had an amazing stay with super friendly staff who were really helpful with recommendations for things to do around Unawatuna and a very generous driver who was able to take us around Galle during our short stay here. The breakfast was delicious with a large variety of foods from authentic Sri Lankan cuisine to western dishes as well. 10/10 reccommend :)

Wonderful view on edge of ocean and jungle. Excellent staff

Overall disappointing, I’d say this is more 2 star, 3 at a push! Room initially had a blocked toilet, no bath or hand towels in the bathroom, 3 hangers for 2 people, warm bar on roof top bar, room condition was pretty warn, needs a good refurb, felt a bit grubby compared to other hotels we stayed in during our trip to Sri Lanka. Manager was good and helped where we needed.

Probably the best hotel in unawatuna. 2 pools, one of them sea water pool was amazing. Views of ocean and waves crashing is break taking. Staff goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable.

Our stay was just as the coronavirus was breaking out. We had to return to the UK after 1 day at the hotel. I would like to praise Roshan and his team for the very efficient and friendly assistance and understanding of our specific situation during a very challenging time. We hope to return!!

Found this resort after having to move out of a complete disaster (Jungle Village by Thawthisa), what a pleasant surprise! Has the combination of being at the end of Unawatuna Beach, so feels and looks like it is out on its own, but within easy walking distance of all the beach amenities. Room with a great sea & sunset view. Two beautiful pools & great breakfast, a lovely stay overall.

fantastic hotel, rooms spacious and everywhere is clean, breakfast is excellent

Hotel located at a very good location , however the road to the hotel is very narrow and a lot of traffic. Our overall stay was excellent and the ocean front rooms were great . Great food and overall experience .

Was great

Spectacular setting next to the sea. Very good food and service. Great pools and a very nice sports bar with an excellent pool table. Very gracious and helpful staff who went out of their way for us. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent hotel on the water with 2 great pools. Staff and service is great

Nice property right by the beach in a secluded area. Everything is pretty clean and we were attended to all the time. The room was spacious and a baby cot was ready for us as per our request. It's an excellent product and the rate, though a bit expensive for Sri Lanka's cost of life, is in line with the services and amenities. It's not a big hotel chain of course but the staff are friendly, courteous and genuinely happy. There are a few things to improve here and there but these are minor points. Highly recommandable.

Next to the sea, which was lovely. Food & service excellent, walk into unawatuna was along a dark narrow road which was very busy with tuk tuks

Close to the beach and centre, nice pool. Family room was a good arrangement with an upstairs area with separate bathrooms, just a shame the rooms smelt of sewage and the bathroom was unclean.

First of all, we booked because this was a deal room, it's not clear with your booking that deal rooms are actually inferior to the normal rooms not in deals. We didn't have a good view, neither did we have card or electronic access.

Really lovely hotel. Great service, every member of staff greets you as you pass and will try to do everything they can to make your stay even better. They are continuing to do improvements but you would not notice the people at work. Food is very good, slightly more expensive than the town prices but still very good. Very family friendly hotel, we would definitely recommend and we would stay here again. There one salt water pool and another chlorine pool, great views over the ocean, a sports bar and gym. Great value for money

Very friendly and helpful staff made our stay all the more pleasurable at this hotel. Our stay was just before the season got going so it was fairly quiet but there was plenty to see and do in the area.

Property is not what is depicted in the pics. No Beach access. Breakfast was not good.

We had a great time staying at this resort. Overall we loved the spaciousness of the duplex room with two very big rooms, sitting areas and bathroom. The lobby of the hotel is beautiful and very stylish. The food at the restaurant was very good and breakfast was also good. Service could have been sometimes a bit faster and the hot water in our room didn’t work the first 2 days but they sorted it out straight away. The pool areas are very nice although one of them was closed for refurbishment and an event and the one with the eternity pool has limited number of sun lounger so and they are very close to the edge of the pool leaving very little space to walk through. The reception staff were very friendly and they let us check out a bit later for a small fee.Overall we had an amazing stay.
