    We had the most wonderful time at Rockside Cabanas, it was truly a hidden gem. The German owners were incredibly kind and gave us helpful tips for exploring the area. The rooms in the main house were spacious and well-equipped, and the terrace and garden were perfect for relaxing. The best part was the beautiful beach just steps away, where we were lucky enough to see turtles. The hotel also had a natural pool, which was great for kids. I highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

    The hotel's location was amazing, with easy access to Unawatuna and Mirissa. The communal areas were closer to the beach and the beachfront. The breakfasts were great, featuring delicious fruit and local dishes. The overall location of the hotel was marvelous and gorgeous.

    Loved the beach with reef and sea turtles. Swings with sunset views. Wonderful staff, especially Anthony. Clean and well-maintained property. Delicious food and great service. Secluded and peaceful location. Airport pickup and seamless vacation.

    Nothing that I didn't like.

    The location of the hotel was amazing, there was a nice beach nearby and the food was really delicious. the room was clean and spacious, with a big and comfortable bathroom.

    We were a bit disappointed with the lack of air conditioning in the room, even after paying extra for an upgrade. there was some noise from the nearby train line and main road, which made it difficult to relax at times.

    Spent New Year’s at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The private cabana was stunning, with a beautiful view of the ocean. The food was great, with a lot of choices and very reasonably priced. Enjoyed trying fresh juices, especially during happy hour. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the nearby beach was stunning.

    The hotel is located near a main road, which can be noisy and not very nice to walk along. , the train nearby is loud and can be heard throughout the day.

    The location couldn't be better - directly on the beach, allowing for easy access to the beautiful sandy shores and crystal-clear waters. The rooms, complete with balconies, provide stunning views and are spacious enough for families with small kids. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel like part of their family, providing friendly and attentive service throughout your stay. And let's not forget about the amazing 2-4-1 drinks during happy hour, a great way to relax and enjoy the sunset. Plus, the breakfast, although not offering freshly squeezed juice, is delicious and satisfying.

    All was perfect, nothing to complain about.

    I had a fantastic stay here! The hotel is located on the quiet end of a beautiful beach, and I enjoyed stunning views from the restaurant overlooking the sea. The staff were very accommodating and provided delicious breakfast every morning. Additionally, the hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the transportation to this city was readily accessible.

    Nothing not too like.

    We stayed just on the seaside and the view was spectacular. the covered restaurant area was fantastic and the breakfast was delicious. the staff was courteous and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the facilities and the nearby turtle farm was a great visit.

    The noise from the street and railroad was disturbing and prevented us from sleeping.

    The Rockside Cabanas Hotel is a hidden gem nestled in tropical gardens right on the beach. The location couldn't be more perfect - with the beach just a stone's throw away, guests can enjoy the mesmerizing view of the waves crashing against the rocks. The hotel offers amazing value for money with their 2-4-1 drinks and breakfast options. The rooms, especially the ones with the amazing private terrace, provide a cozy and comfortable stay.

    The breakfast options were great, but the freshly squeezed juice was missing.
