From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this boutique hotel is something truly special. The owner is a master of hospitality, ensuring that every detail is thoughtfully curated for an exceptional experience. The service was impeccable, with warm and attentive staff who made us feel at home from day one. The facilities were outstanding—beautifully designed, perfectly maintained, and offering everything needed for a relaxing and luxurious stay. But what truly sets this place apart is the personal touch. Every interaction felt genuine, and the level of care and attention to detail was beyond compare. This was more than just a vacation, it was an unforgettable experience. I felt completely at home, yet wonderfully transported into a world of comfort and beauty. Highly, highly recommended!

Nestled in the enchanting town of Unawatuna, Villa Rumassala is a hidden gem that promises a stay unlike any other. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed by the gracious staff of Villa Rumassala with refreshing drinks, a thoughtful gesture that instantly refreshed us after our journey. What truly stood out was the personalized touch of a small tour of the villa and its surroundings, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the area. The villa itself exudes charm and elegance, with spacious rooms that are meticulously designed for comfort. Our accommodation boasted not only comfortable beds but also a fully equipped kitchen, providing us with the convenience of preparing our own meals if we wished to do so. This thoughtful inclusion added a level of flexibility to our stay, making us feel right at home. However, what truly set Villa Rumassala apart was its exceptional staff, who went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was perfect. Menaka, in particular, epitomized hospitality with her warm demeanor and attention to detail. Her genuine care for our comfort and satisfaction truly made us feel like royalty. Additionally, we cannot speak highly enough of the Tuktuk driver, Sandaru, whose fair prices and friendly demeanor made exploring the area a breeze. His knowledge of the area and willingness to accommodate our preferences enhanced our overall experience immensely. In conclusion, our time at Villa Rumassala was nothing short of magical. From the warm welcome to the impeccable service, every moment was crafted with care and attention to detail. If you're seeking a retreat where you'll be treated like royalty, look no further than Villa Rumassala. We departed feeling rejuvenated, grateful for the memories created, and eagerly anticipating our next visit to this truly exceptional destination.

The best resort in south Sri Lanka!! It was a pleasure to stay in this resort, the facilities are amazing, and brand new. The staff are incredibly polite with very good English speaking. They made the check-in process very nice & smooth and helped recommend places to see and visit on the South Coast. My room was also very comfortable, considering most places I've stayed in Sri Lanka the bed tends to be a little harder, but the rooms in Terra Resort had the comfiest bed & pillows. The location is also a short 5ish min walk to the main beach of Kabalana which makes it really easy to get around. The reception also has tuktuk call services too, that come to pick you up from the resort if you want to get into town or go surfing. I highly recommend this place if it's your first time in Sri Lanka, Or if you looking for an earthy boutique-style place to stay, it made my journey to this country all the sweeter.

The room was wonderfully furnished with a beautiful bathroom with hot water. Amazing price due to it being Low Season. Right on the Beachfront and the restaurant food was really good. The bed was super comfortable which earns a big tick from me. Close to all manner of shops and restaurants and ATMs. Staff were wonderful and happy to assist with all my needs. Room was very clean. Tea kettle and cups and glasses supplied.

Remarkable location right on the beach/seafront. Our room is Beachfront Cabanas where we fall asleep & wake up to sound of roaring seas! Short walk to bay with swimming turtles near Frog Rock! Wonderful breakfast at terrace of our Cabanas just next to the sea!

Perfect location right on the beach! The rooms are beautiful and spacious, all ocean facing. The AC and fan made it pleasant to stay during this hot season. Breakfast was delicious 😋 I enjoyed the omelet and pancakes. It's a great location as it's on the main road and very easy to reach several places. Galle and Weligama are just minutes away. So may attractions all within the area. Very easy to use public transport right outside.

We absolutely loved the location. Right on the beachfront and central of the small town with lots of restaurants and shops. Kevin in particular was an absolute star, went above and beyond - cobstantly smiling, welcoming and all the staff couldn't do enough for us. Kiki was our favourite furry friend. The free shuttle to use the pool at the sister Hotel was really great and an added bonus. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The first place we stayed during our trip so it was a good place to recover from jet lag as we didn't plan to do much. The accommodation was right on the beach & was lovely to just step right out onto the sand. The south coast has some strong waves so just be careful when going for a dip! Nice backpacker hostel along the beach that served drinks with a sunset view. Had a few places to eat & fairly priced too.

Many thanks to John and his team for the great time we spent at Josan Villa. Our room on the upper floor was huge with a great view. The food was great and the team even organized a private sunset dinner for us right on the beach. At the same time, we were taken care of in a touching way. Josan's team organized the repair of our cell phone, booked taxi rides and organized tuktuk trips. The time in Josan's villa was simply great!
