Everything. The staff were really friendly and allowed us to check in even when we arrived early. The location is perfect. Close to the beach but down a quiet lane so away from the noisy main road and main part of unawatuna. The room is beautiful and loved all the greenery.

It was beautiful, clean and at the end of town and off the Main Street. Breakfast fresh and very good and very filling Stayed in 301 which had a huge 4 poster bed and then another double/ queen bed
The water pressure was amazing. Staff was very helpful and pleasant
The only negative is that you walk out of the lane onto a very busy street. You have to be careful because the exit on to that street is on a turn and the traffic comes around it very fast.

This hotel is truly a hidden gem in Unawatuna! It feels like a jungle oasis with its lovely and quiet pool area surrounded by trees.
Rooms are spacious and super clean! Every corner was spotless. Very nice balcony perfect to relax in the morning or after a day at the beach. And the outdoor shower was quite a highlight.
The beach and a supermarket, as well as restaurants and shops are in walking-distance.
Staff is helpful and friendly.
Good wifi reception in the lobby.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful hotel and can definitely recommend it! :-)
Breakfast was served at the table. Good but they offered less from day to day and portion sizes were really small we so left breakfast still hungry every time.
Such a nice pool area but unfortunately occupied by bugs.

A beautiful and spacious room. Loved the outdoor shower and very pleasant sitting on the balcony.
Entertaining watching the monkeys whilst we ate breakfast.
The pool, whilst had a lot of bugs on the surface. The water was also quite cold.

The most beautiful bathroom I have ever seen, definitely worth the money. Rooms are nice and clean, the hotel has good vibes and nice swimming pool. They serve good breakfast. We also loved seeing monkeys jumping on the trees in the morning.

The decor was lovely, one of the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. The nature around the hotel was incredible, in our two night stay we saw Monkeys (super cute and friendly) , a Monitor Lizard, Ghecko’s many birds and chipmunks. Was so lovely to lie by the pool amongst all the nature knowing you’re only a small distance to the hustle and bustle.
The breakfasts were exceptionally good (my favourite all trip) - they gave you lots and changes each day.
It didn’t feel like a hotel as there was no bar, restaurant, lounge area or reception but this did not bother us as it felt more intimate.

Amazing service, beautiful hotel. Allowed me to check in early. Nothing was too small a problem. Hotel is beautiful and the pool was so relaxing.
Only minor issue is you've got to walk a little to find dinners but there are several places close by or you can walk 20mins into main town.

We lived in Aurora for 9 days and it was so pleasurable!
The location is good, it is 15 minutes by foot to go to central Unawatuna Beach, by Tuk Tuk 7 minutes. The hotel is like in Jungle: so green and lush. A lot of monkeys, they are not aggressive, but always looking inside your window and jumping on trees. There were nice chipmunks, varan and peacock also.
The room was spacious, air conditioner worked properly, we had a teapot in our room, and some teabags and coffee also. There were some mosquitos inside, when we opened the door to balcony. But we had repellent, so it wasn’t a problem.
Especially I would like to thank manager Niro and all the staff, they we very helpful and attentive.
At first, we arrived from the airport at 06.00 a.m., the staff was prepairing the hotel territory for a new day: cleaning and cooking breakfast. They offered us coffee and checked us into our room before check-in time. We were very grateful for that. If we needed to clean room and change towels/bedsheet - we asked for it during the breakfast time and leaved the key. Breakfasts were rich and varied, always fresh and tasty. We also asked for lunch-boxes, when had to go to trip to Ella, the chef cooked at night(!) fresh sandwiches and fruits. One breakfast was like buffet style with Sri Lankian traditional food.

A great hotel, tucked off the main road a short Tuktuk ride or walk from the main drag of Unawatuna.
Only a hundred meters or so from the road but feels like you’re in the middle of the jungle.
Rooms are lovely and are comfortable with the “outdoor” bathrooms a highlight.
Staff are great - very helpful and friendly.
Lots of nature all around - monkeys, squirrels, birds, monitor lizards and even a mongoose roaming around the property (none of which were a bother and don’t come too close).
A great hotel and highly recommended

The hotel is off the main road and hidden away so beautifully quiet yet convenient for restaurants and the beach. It is a little oasis of jungle type garden with lots of birds and wildlife in the garden and jumping through the trees. Swimming pool is lovely and staff super helpful. Outdoor bathrooms were a novelty and cleverly done

Beautiful accommodation. Spacious rooms, a comfortable common area and a bit tucked away from the busy streets which was great. We slept really well and also all the staff was very caring. We were even allowed to stay a bit longer and spend some time at the pool after Check out. Would recommend 100%
