Nooit Gedacht Heritage Hotel (Original Dutch Governors House)
Unawatuna, 80000 Unawatuna, Sri Lanka – Great location - show map
This is one of the best options you can find in Unawatuna when it comes to the nature, service and location. It is a Dutch style resort managed by locals. This is one of the few options where the breakfast is buffet. Tasty food and quite rich is served for breakfast. There is a nice pool where you can enjoy sunbath, if you are too lazy to go to the beach. We had everyday room service and that was a very good thing for us (you have a clean room and towels, water etc.) The environment is quite green in the resort and you can also see some birds or monkeys if you are lucky.
