Thecroom and the resort is gorgeous but I think overpriced. I paid a lot of money for this resort and expected absolute excellence. The food was very hit and miss however the breakfast was good. First night I ordered barramundi with garlic mash potato, beans and pea ragou. I received fish and plain mash smothered in a thick mushroom sauce. I can’t eat mushrooms so they just scraped it off... We ordered a margarita pizza (tomato sauce, cheese and basil) and received a curried chicken, corn and some other vegetable. It was all tasty but not what we ordered. The Hawaiin prawns however were delicious. The staff were terrific and very helpful. All in all it was great, but a different venue but I feel overpriced.

Well appointed space, lovely spacious room and bathroom. Staff very friendly , well trained and very helpful. Breakfast however can do with a bit of improvement. I love Sri Lankan food and found the breakfast buffet a bit underwhelming

Beautiful hotel near to Unawatuna

We loved our stay at Era Beach. The hotel is beautiful and well looked after. We had a sea view room which was beautiful. Bed very comfy and spacious room. The breakfast included was also really nice - fresh fruit followed by cooked breakfast. The hotel has a nice size pool which was very clean. The hotel was right on the beach but you could not lay on the sand or swim in the sea. However a short walk along if you wanted some beach and a sea swim. The food menu for lunch and dinner was also good! I would definately recommend if you are looking for a chill out hotel away from the hussle of the town - about 10 minutes tuk tuk from Unawatuna. The only downside was the road noise in the morning (but didn't really bother us). Thanks so much Era Beach for our stay!

Okay location, definitely not 5 stars

Beautiful hotel, "private beach" is not a bit misleading as it is very small with large rocks making swimming or sunbathing not possible. The people we're nice, just very understaffed. One gentleman took our bags to our room. After dropping our stuff off to our room, we went to the restaurant, and the same genteleman that took our bags, also was our waiter. We ordered drinks and food and sure enough, he made our drinks and cooked our food! He was very nice and efficient but he could have used some help.

Ei mitenkään viittä tähteä

Hotellin tähtiluokitus on mielestämme 3,5 tai max 4 tähteä. Huoneessa oli mukava sänky, ovi ei mennyt kunnolla kiinni, safetyboxia ei ollut huoneessa, mutta toimitettiin myöhemmin. Wifi ei toiminut. Aurinkopedit täynnä. Vähän sinne päin. Ihmiset olivat ystävällisiä. Hinta/ laatu eivät kohdanneet.

Amazing place! Truly wonderful stay!

Absolutely beautiful hotel, it is more like a deluxe villa. It only has 10 rooms. From start to finish this place was magically. The food is amazing thanks to the wonderful cheif everything from local food to if you fancy a cheeky burger. The pool is stunning and it is right on the beach so you can hear the sea all the time. The beach is beautiful. Plus there is someone who comes to the hotel and can give you a massage, which was amazing! It's a 10min tuk tuk ride from the main beach. Sanjeewa really made our stay. He was so attentive and was so kind. He could sort everything from a tuk tuk to a whale trip. All the staff were amazing but only managed to catch Lakindu name. We couldnt have asked for a better holiday. Thank you to everyone at the Era Beach hotel it was the best holiday ever. We will be back one day!!

The staff are amazing at this property, they go above and beyond and are an asset. Beautiful rooms and grounds, very clean. Lovely food you must try the Sri Lankan breakfast. Only negatives, the beach is not suitable for swimming but Dalawella beach is a 1km walk which was lovely. And the building works next door were very noisy. We booked a private pool suite but we’re unable to enjoy our pool due to the construction noise. This would usually have been enough to make me leave but everything else was just perfect and more than made up for it. We will be back!

This was a beautiful hotel with lovely, attentive and helpful staff. Everyone there works so hard. The rooms are amazing! The hotel is not too big so it’s never overcrowded, infact it felt like we had the place to ourselves some days! I never tried out the restaurant as it is heavily seafood based so not great for vegans but the breakfasts were good and I was catered for. Location is good on the beach, we walked both ways but preferred walking a long to the right, climb over the rocks or wall if you can where the pipe is and keep going. Nice little area to explore :-)

Especially Sanjeevan, Roshan, Dinesh and Mahesh were very great in making our stay amazing and added to the perfect time we had in the hotel. Totally recommended. Very idyllic & modern place in the middle of the Jungle. Outstanding Sri Lankan food & great hotel stuff, which was very helpful during our stay.

Incredible relaxing retreat in a gorgeous location

We stayed at Era Beach in September 2014 and had an incredible time. The staff could not do enough for you and the hotel was just perfect! Rooms were large, clean and well equipped and maintained daily. The restaurant served incredible food at really reasonable prices and the service was impeccable! I can't recommend this hotel highly enough!
