An exceptionally charming hotel, built on a cliff with the jungle all around! For lovers of peace and nature, this place is a real gem! The staff is so friendly and always smiling. The breakfast is copious: a wide choice, from continental to Sri Lankan, plus a plate of fresh fruits! You can also book ayurvedic massage sessions (€20 for 90 minutes) and yoga sessions at unbeatable prices. The hotel also hires out scooters for excursions. The superior room with its view of the jungle is breathtaking! We had the visit from purple-faced langur and toque macaque right opposite our balcony! Don't worry: their presence is not invasive. Just don't feed them! Finally, you can also dine at the hotel, which offers very fresh seafood: tuna (a real treat for gourmets!), tiger prawns, etc. If you eat out, you'll pay a lot more for the fish! This hotel is just magnificent and has won our hearts.

Staff is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is great - and it will last you until dinner. Location is toppity-top: you want shops - you have them right across the road, you want restaurants - 3 minute walk and you are in the thick of them, you want crowded beach - it’s in a minute’s walk, you want something more secluded where locals go to swim - Jungle beach(-es) is in 15-minutes walk (you’ll have to go over the hilltop). Wildlife (monke, gekkos and varied flying things) is around but non-invasive. There’s a pool that kids and kidults seemed to enjoy greatly.

Thambapanni Retreat was one of the best hotels we stayed at during our trip to Sri Lanka. It has a rustic vibe to its facility and has quality amenities. The room was as mentioned on Booking.com and also came with a complimentary massage option. Surprisingly, the staff also gave us an option to use the nearby Thaproban Waves swimming facility which we gleefully accepted. All in all, it's a value for money hotel with near perfection in what they offer. Note - Breakfast spread was delectable!

I had a room above the yoga area; large room, that was clean and spacious. Everything was clean and well maintained. The pool didn’t look used (maybe because it was slightly out of season) so I went to one of their sister hotels by the beach; I fill recommend that for the day! The sunset by the rocks was stunning. Great breakfast at the retreat and great service amongst the staff. Great location too, only a couple of minutes to the Main Street of Unawatuna.

I stayed here with my sister for three nights. I highly recommend this place. It is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and so clean and the bed was so comfortable. The breakfast is amazing and our last night we had dinner at their restaurant and it was great. The best thing about this place is the staff. Everyone was so welcoming, helpful and just amazing. I will definitely come again to this hotel. It is so pretty and luxurious but with a homelike feel.
