The Dalawella is not flash or elegant, but it offers clean and pleasant accommodation with the advantage of being right on the beach. The rooms are quite plain but have really high ceilings and air-con which really helps in this climate. You could probably take your own towels as the ones provided are small & very thin ! The outside... More

I arrived and the bathroom had not been cleaned. The staff makes up for most shortcomings, however. My sheets also had dirt marks on them but those were promptly replaced just as the bathroom had been promptly cleaned. The room was not cleaned once during my 4 nights there. I didn't mind but they did not even offer. When I... More

This place was great. Wonderful big rooms with MASSIVE beds. The courtyard is really pretty-- just walking into the place takes your breath away. Staff very helpful and friendly. Only problem is it's about a 20 minute walk to the main beach where all the restaurants/bars etc are. Good if you want to be away from it all but wouldn't... More

We were a group of 10 people from Sweden staying here for 5 nights. The hotel is small, not luxury but sufficient for our needs which means spending much time on the beach and trips to Galle. The food was very good incl breakfast with fresch juice, fruits, eggs - you could actually ask for almost everything. The best of... More

The pictures are very misleading. The rooms are dark, musty and dingy. The shower was so small that it was very hard to close the door with you inside it. The bathroom itself was unclean and housed cockroaches. The rest of the room was unclean as well with stains on the sheets. Throughout the night the electricity faltered into almost... More

Just stayed 5 nights from the 29th dec 2011. We had the beach hut and it was spacious and clean and the location was amazing, great to watch the sun set on our veranda! We actually paid for half board and the food was a mixed bag in the evenings, the last night though we asked for Sri lankan food... More

My wife and I had a wonderful 2-night stay at Dalawella. The main plus is a practically private stretch of beach that is all yours. It is very quiet and serene. The water is a bit choppy, but I didn't think that it was unswimmable or anything. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. I particularly enjoyed the Sri... More

We stayed in Dallwella for 4 nights, the hotel is good although it was not in the happening beach location which was 5 minutes away by tuktuk. The manager ruined our stay, he was dishonest, greedy and rude. He managed to rip us off on every service he provided like transportation/tours even breakfast for which he charged us even though...

We stayed in the Dalawella Beach Resort for 4 nights, breakfast included, which was good food to start the day. The hotel is located on the beach, however it's not on the actual Unawatuna beach (swimming there is not ideal). The good thing is that it wasn't far from Unawatuna beach so going by tuk tuk was easy and cheap.... More
