My stay at Villa Thawthisa was a mix of highs and lows. The location was fantastic, just a short distance from the hustle of Unawatuna. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, particularly during dinner. Overall, the staff were friendly, but some areas need improvement.

While the staff were generally friendly and accommodating, the restaurant service was notably lacking. I faced long waits for refills during dinner, and the food was rather bland.

The hotel's location was superb. Just a short walk or a quick tuk-tuk ride from nearby shops and beaches. It was peaceful yet close to the action.

Dining

Dining was quite disappointing. During dinner, salads were out, and we had to wait for over 20 minutes for refills. Breakfast had its moments, but overall, the food didn't quite match the price tag.

Facilities

My stay at Villa Thawthisa was a mix of highs and lows. The location is fantastic, but the overall facilities and service were disappointing. The dining experience was particularly underwhelming, and the room needs serious maintenance to match the advertised standards.

Rooms

5.0

I stayed in a room that had direct pool access, which was nice, but the inside needed major upkeep. The furniture was old, and the bathroom was poorly designed with no privacy. I found insects creeping in, and that really spoiled the experience.

Service

5.0

Location

8.0

The location is great, just a short walk to the town and beach. I loved being close to places for entertainment and food, plus the views were stunning, especially during sunset.

Dining

5.0

Dining was a low point—breakfast was unappetizing and lacked variety. Dinner options were limited and not replenished fast enough; I felt like I was settling for less when I should've been enjoying my meals.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities need serious attention. The gym equipment was in poor condition, and the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. I was expecting much more from a place that claims to be a 'boutique hotel'.
