    For the price we paid, the room at Dandelion was perfect! Spacious, comfortable beds, and lovely outdoor seating area. The location was great too, just a short walk to the beautiful sandy beaches and surrounded by charming local gift shops. The staff treated us like family, especially during my pregnancy, and the owners were incredibly helpful and friendly.

    The hotel breakfast menu could have been better, but that's just a small thing compared to all the other positives we experienced during our stay.

    The Dandelion Resort in Unawatuna was a hidden gem off the main road. the staff were ready and waiting to check us in, making us feel very welcome. the room was huge, with a comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom. It was exactly what we needed after staying in not-so-nice places. the balcony was also a great addition, where we enjoyed tasty breakfasts each morning. the location was convenient, with a 10-minute walk to the beach, passing interesting tourist shops and local fruit stalls along the way. the accommodation was comfortable and provided everything we needed, making our stay fantastic.

    Felt more than at home, no complaints.

    The bed was unbelievably comfy with a mosquito net and the AC was mind-blowingly fantastic. The host family was incredibly kind and the Sri Lankan breakfast, especially the banana pancakes, were jaw-dropping. The yoga classes with Adoring were excellent and highly recommended. The deluxe AC room had a super cozy and beautifully decorated vibe, making it feel like a home away from home. Palitha, the host, was a great person who was extremely helpful. The location was just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by amazing cafes and shops. The rooms were large, clean, and had a massive bed.

    We had a fantastic stay at a guest house in this city. The rooms were clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and mosquito nets. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beautiful beach and close to the center area. The hotel facilities were great, with a yoga space and the option to get a massage. The staff were friendly, polite, and always helpful. it was a lovely retreat in a quiet area just back from the beach.

    Not obvious to find.
