It’s a convenient distance from unawatuna beach and Galle fort. If you’re only down south for a weekend, or for your first time I highly recommend. Excellent service, great breakfast, calm and pleasant private beach. Beautiful sunsets.

Amazing stay!

Really comfortable room with ocean view balcony, huge bathroom with nice bathtub. The hotel is beautiful with perfect facilities. The food is amazing and special note for the staff, so nice and caring. We had an amazing stay thanks to them. And now we know how to cook curry with their cooking class 😍

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The photos of this property LOOK okay but in real life, this place is sort of falling apart. You can’t swim in the beach as the water is too dangerous and choppy. The room we stayed in did not have a balcony door that sealed properly, so we had to switch rooms. The eating/ lounge area was very bare bones. For me, the stay would have been all right, had they not used photos likely from when this hotel first opened, when it was in tip top condition. We had a hot tub that we didn’t even feel like using, being the sealant looked cracked and gross and it just didn’t appear as clean as it did in the photos the hotel has shared with Expedia. We would never ever stay here again.

Rooms have a nice ocean view and balcony. Room and the bathroom are large. Good wifi. The water in front of the hotel was too choppy to swim. I’m not sure if this is a seasonal problem.

One of few hotels with its almost private beach. Boutique but a little rough around the edges - so what if nothing is perfect - this isn’t Maldives. Great food, really friendly staff. No loud music and respectful guests. They are offering a great product, that’s why guests return. Easy tuktuk to busier area and boats to take you elsewhere. We were genuinely sad to leave.

Nous avons passé 5 jours à l’hôtel Cocobay Unawatuna. On a adoré et on a hâte d’y retourner! Des chambres très propres et confortables! La vue sur la mer époustouflante! L’équipe très gentille et très serviable. Nous nous sommes régalés avec le grand choix de plats typique et bien d’autres. Très belle expérience! Un grand merci surtout à Saman!!! Mais aussi à Upul et Giovindraja.

Hotel qui vaut le detour, le plagiste et la personne qui effectue les massages sont tres competentes. Quant a la nourriture de l' hotel elle est excellente. La duree du sejour recommande est d'une semaine. Hotel qui ne merite pas 5 etoiles compare a d'autres destinations asiatiques.

Et super lækker hotel. Der får værelser og en stille og rolig strand i Unawatuna. Det er tæt på Gall, kun 10 min med Tuk Tuk. Et super venligt og i altid imødekommende personale. Lækker morgenmad og lækker mad generelt.

Had a brilliant time at Cocobay over Christmas and New Year. Enjoyed it so much, we stayed some extra days. Private beach is a small piece of heaven and i swam to jungle beach (about a mile) and that was super fun too. (can get a short rickshaw ride or walk also). Food was great, Sri Lankan or international cuisine available. Stayed in two different rooms and both great, clean and with sea and palm tree views. Going to Unawatuna which is great but always happy to come back. Special thanks to Pradeep, Dilan and Dinesha and the whole team for making our stay so good.
