빌라 토우티사

Quando estavamos a fazer o chek in a rececionista disse que não tinhamos reserva. O Hotel tinha cancelado a reserva com o operador. Tentamos ligar várias vezes mas devido à diferença horária nunca fomos atendidos. Acabámos por ficar uma noite, tendo em conta o adiantado da hora mas pagando o quarto! O hotel está classificado como 5 estrelas mas equivale a 2 estrelas. Fica longe do centro e da praia, Está a precisar de obras e restauro no mobiliário. A Limpeza é muito deficiente. O pequeno almoço é muito fraco e a sala apesar de ter uma boa vista parece mais um restaurante de 3ª categoria. Foi uma péssima experiência!

It was the worst hotel experience we had ever. Rooms were full with mosquitos,bed linen and pillow case covers was not changed when we arrived and they changed them after we checked in to the room and they sprayed bugs spray all over and it was difficult to breathe. It was raining and that room's electricity went off 4 times and each time it went to we had to run to the reception to inform them as they did not pickup phone. Finally they changed us to a difference room.food was worst.. after getting dinner,I felt sick. I had loose motion and vomiting till next day morning.then my husband got the same condition. When we ask whether they got any medicine they said no. It was around 3.00 a.m. we asked. Next day morning we didn't even had breakfast and quickly checked out from this awful place went straight to a doctor.. It was a worst experience we had ever...I'm so sorry about the money we spent to book it as full board.. we even made a complaint to the hotel manager,but they seems didn't even care.. I will not recommend this place to anybody...

Do NOT listen to the negative reviews regarding this hotel. I have stayed at two other hotels in this area and was very displeased and checked out earlier. This is the only hotel that met my expectations of a 4 star hotel. It is modern, and incredibly aesthetically pleasing. The views are absolutely incredible. The food is very tasty. The staff is incredibly professional and helpful. If you are looking for a hotel on the beach, this is not the hotel. However, if you are more concerned with views, and a pool that is pleasing to the eye, this is your hotel. I really wish I would have ignored the negative reviews of this hotel, and selected this hotel from the beginning, as it is certainly more so what I am used to when I book 4 and 5 star hotels. Book this hotel, you will not regret it.

We had booked Superior Room With Sea View with direct Access to Pool. Following were our experience: - unclean & unkept rooms, toilets, swimming pool. The doors didnt lock properly, AC wasnt cooling the room enough. - the jacuzzi area was very untidy and toilets didnt have the basics like dental kit, body lotion. - the shampoo and shower gel provided were of very poor quality. You expect better quality from so called " BOUTIQUE HOTELS" - they served cold buffet spread. Guests reaching after 1 hour of buffet timing wont get all the spread (both at breakfast and dinner) - too highly priced buffet dinner - they charge extra for more than 2 water bottles per day (never heard of this in any part of sri lankan hotels) - 1 bottle of 1 lt would cost you Srilankan Rupees 300 + taxes (exorbitantly high) - staff not freindly neither eifficient. -rooms very badly maintained. I would never recommend this hotel to anybody looking for a good quality service, good food and good stay. Me and my husband were very very disappointed by the overall experience.

Die Hotelanlage war schön jedoch in die Jahre gekommen. Das Team war sehr freundlich. Für uns hat das Preisleistungsverhältnis nicht ganz gestummen.

We stayed 2 nights and had a great time at Villa Thawthisa. Beautiful swimming pool and amazing view from our room. It was a very steep drive up to the hotel, you may have to bail out of the tuk tuk for it to make it up the hill! The hotel provided a free tuk tuk down to their sister hotel on the beach which we made use of. Stunning beach at Unawatuna but watch out for the strong currents.

We arrived at night a day late due to one of our party being sick, but there was no leniency in altering our arrival date even with more than 24 hours notice; we already expected as much, since it was impossible to cancel our booking at any time without forfeiting half our fee. The place has a beautiful view of the ocean and jungles from the rooms, and especially from the restaurant, but the rooms are stark, with some sort of industrial aesthetic that is jarring for Sri Lanka. There are nice pools and each room has a balcony, but also a glass wall, so at pool level that might be an issue: we wereon the 3rd floor. It is a very good hike to the beach, so anyone with mobility issues be warned! Luckily, we arrived with a car and driver, but there were no quarters for the driver at the hotel and the nearest was at another hotel; otherwise, there are just a few shuttles into and back from town. The reception staff and kitchen staff were cheerful and professional, but the restaurant prices were as if we were staying at a 5 star in Colombo, which this place, in my estimation, was not.

What a wonderful view. We had the ground floor rooms that had direct access to the pool. It was like we had our own private pool. Staff were very attentive. Food was nice. Breakfast buffet was a good western style, eggs cooked as you wish. Restaurant is on the top floor wiht 200 degree views of Unawatuna. A wonderful stay.

Do not be fooled. This is a shabby, unfinished, poorly designed, poorly maintained (by unskilled workers particularly the paintwork in the rooms) hotel which does not come close to a 4 star. I have seen better 3 star hotels at half the cost. Do not be duped by the description "Boutique Hotel". It is a tourist rip off. Some of the issues/ problems are listed below: 1. The hotel appears to have been built as cheaply as possible. Thy did not even bother to complete the external facade or the hallways / common parts with tiles or even paint as all is left as is bare concrete trying to be disguised as polished concrete - poorly done by cheap labour with cracks everywhere and discolouration and wrong materials. 2. The bathrooms are poorly designed - you have to bathe in the nude in full view of the front of the hotel and the public. 3. we traveled as a family - there was no privacy for bathroom facilities which meant each time you wanted to use the shower or toilet, others had to vacate the room entirely as the bathroom is just separated by glass which is poorly obscured by cheap stick on film which goes only half way up and still does not provide adequate privacy 4. The bathroom sinks were too low. The average height should be around 900mm high off the ground. Ours was only around 500mm which meant you had to kneel down to brush your teeth - what a joke 5. No towel holders or hooks to keep your clothes - 6. appalling large side board around the bed which meant getting in and ou

Ett lagom stort hotell som känns som om det ligger inne i djungeln med en fantastisk utsikt. Det fanns två pooler varav en stor. Vårt rum hade utgång direkt till den stora poolen. Det enda som saknades var någonstans att torka badkläderna på, kanske en liten torkställning. Det var svårt att få dem torra. Rummet var rymligt men hala golv så man får vara försiktig. Sängen var bekväm men det fanns en ram runt om på ca 30 cm. Det såg förvisso snyggt ut men det var lite svårt att ta sig i och ur speciellt om man har ryggproblem. Personalen var trevliga och hjälpsamma. Varje kväll nattades man med en liten skål med chokladbitar som en kille gick runt och delade ut. Mycket uppskattat och ovanligt. Matsalen med takterrassen var jättefin med den fantastiska utsikten. Maten var jättegod, speciellt tonfisken. Till stranden tog det ca 10 min att gå, hem kan man ta tuktuk för då går det uppåt. Vi är jättenöjda med vår vistelse på Thawthisa och ångrar att vi inte stannade några dagar längre.

Dette var et flott hotell. God service og oppmerksomme ansatte som alltid var behjelpelige hvis vi hadde noe på ¨hjertet. Meget god mat, hyggelige ansatte og super utsikt. Dette var vårt beste hotell av totalt fem overnattingssteder på Sri Lanka. På Villa Thawthisa følte vi oss virkelig velkomne. Dette kan anbefales, og vi kommer gjerne tilbake.

We've booked the standard sea view room, but've got the deluxe double room (with the "open" bathroom) at the check-in without any additional costs, and we found the room very good. The ocean view from the room balcony and even from the bed was fantastic. We've took a half-board in the hotel and never regretted our decision - the chef made brilliant and very delicious dishes for the dinner, and the breakfast was also good. And it costed cheaper compared to paying for the same dinner separetely afterwards. Additionally, the view from the restaurant terrace was amazing. Staff is very friendly and everybody speaks english (at least on the basic level). The current owner and the head manager always try to keep the hotel in a good condition, overwatching other staff and are often personally present during the working hours or even at dinner. The Unawatuna beach is nice and only 10-15 minutes walk. You can use the beach beds from the hotel restaurant (Cormaran Beach Club) and get the beach towels there as well (beach beds are free and towels cost only 50 rupees per day). The food in the beach restaurant itself we cannot recommend, though. Opposed to the hotel's restaurant, the beach restaurant has very average but overpriced food (you can find the same food at other beach restaurants, but twice as cheap).

Food was cold ... just dull looking hotel. Has not been painted. Pool area has no bar .. no music .. fitness room is a disaster. Staff is great .. young manager is great. Needs a better road almost broke my car driving in to that.

Έλλειψη καθαριότητας κυρίως στο εστιατόριο. Το προσωπικό ανοργάνωτο.

Broken. This place was conceived with "design" in mind, but then everything went wrong in execution. Everything is essentially broken. The restaurant's roof leaks under rain (in a tropical country!). The rooms have these weird glass walls that can't be blinded during the night. The bathrooms are even weirder, essentially outside the room exposed to people in the pool. Shower drain clogged, only scorching hot water, etc... The nice pictures of the pool and views, and the definition of "boutique hotel" make this place essentially an intentional scam. The only redeeming virtue is that the poor souls employed here are actually quite nice. But the £275 per night we paid make me still angry when I think back to the whole experience. Please, please, please stay away.

Just dreadful, no coffee at breakfast, no water to drink, not clean, useless service. No communication between staff. such a disappointment. No privacy in room, can walk from the pool into the room with no lock on bathroom door. i felt unsafe.

The hotel is perched above the main Unawatuna beach area - a bumpy ride up the hill. It is a modern concrete design with great views over the coast. Good - rooms have a funky design, large rooms, very bright (all white), good aircon, tv & cable, nice pool patio with lounges and chairs, great views, food was OK (new chef so will get better), very good large pool. Not so good - they have open-to-air bathrooms so no aircon, there was effectively no hot water in our room - took 10 mins to get lukewarm, floors in bathroom are very slippery when wet, lots of wear and tear in the rooms - loose taps, scraping door, gaps in plaster around fittings, flaky chair covering, room gets very light in the morning. If they kept the rooms better maintained it would be very good. If you want to hang out and relax it's not bad - we paid around US$100 for a good room as it's low season - i wouldn't want to pay much more when it's busy - if they fixed a few of the wear and tear issues it would be much better.

Vi varsuper glade for vores ophold på Villa Thawthisa. Det ligger med en smuk udsigt over havet og har en tilpas afstand fra hovedgadens liv og mylder. Et dejligt personale der var meget obs på deres gæsters behov og yde en fantastisk service.Vi vil med sikkerhed vende tilbage til Villa Thawthisa.

Quite enjoyable but I have expected more at this price.

Modern boutique hotel tucked away in the hills overlooking a lush jungle. Hotel has the potential to be really great, however, it appears somewhat neglected in areas. Little extras can make it a great little spot for total relaxation. Door locks, including bathroom doors malfunction; no hooks for hanging towels in bathroom; mold by pool; etc. But overall, a great find. Lana, the hotel manager is great.
