sitting on a veranda, blazing red sun setting behind a palm tree covered hilly outcrop, the gentle sound of the Indian ocean and a cool beer...Sound like paradise?... It is and this is what you get when you are in Surf City's beachside restaurant ( which is called Black and White). All the staff at Surf City will go out... More

Stayed parents and 13 year old daugther 4 + 5 nights in two different rooms. Best was the roof top room because of the excellent view of Unawatuna Bay. A/C is not efficienty in any of the rooms (roof top and no. 6) and bed madrasses should be changed in the roof top room - much too soft. Service good... More

Very basic rooms (cold shower, concrete floors) but clean linen and secure windows/doors. And a perfect location! Not right on the waters edge (like some other hotels in Unawatuna), but perfectly on the beach edge, with restaurant/bar. If you're there for the beach and not the room, then Surf City fits the bill perfectly! More

Surf City is conveniently located. Bar & restaurant is right on the beach. Highly recommend ordering a Pina Colada (about 450rupees)--made with freshly juiced pineapple and coconut. No sweetners added! A cup of awesomeness! Basic rooms (no A/C and no hot water) were clean and just right for our stay. We stayed here for 4 nights (at the end of... More

This guesthouse was so good that I had to write a review about them. Immediately when I arrived with my girlfriend to Unawatuna and to SurfCity we felt super relaxed. We ended up spending there ten days. The staff helped us with everything; bus timetables, places to visit, etc. and were extremely helpful. My girlfriend had a birthday and the... More
