7.8/10

I had a lovely stay at the hotel with stunning views of the ocean from my deluxe room. The pool area was gorgeous, and the ambiance was quite relaxing. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired as the food was bland and not worth the price. Additionally, the staff's constant attempts to upsell services during breakfast were a bit off-putting.

Rooms

The deluxe ocean view room was spacious and offered amazing views, but the balcony chairs were uncomfortable.

Service

While the staff was supposed to be attentive, their constant push for dinner reservations and spa services during breakfast was overwhelming.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The location isn't ideal as there's no beach access, and the interiors felt poorly maintained. The room had some issues, and the dining options were bland and limited. It's not the luxurious experience they claim to offer; I would rate it closer to a 3-star.

The room we stayed in was average with some maintenance issues, like a hole in the door and a visible shared balcony, which made for a lack of privacy.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The service was outstanding, with very attentive staff who went above and beyond. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, which really made our stay comfortable. Although I faced some issues with the spa, the overall experience was still fantastic. On the downside, the beach was a bit of a walk away, but the pool made up for it. Definitely great value for the money!

Spending a few days at Thaproban Pavilion was a delightful experience. The resort's location is serene, making it a perfect escape while still being close to local amenities. The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, but there were some hiccups with service that detracted from an otherwise lovely stay. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, which complemented the relaxing atmosphere, but the pace of service could definitely be improved.

Nestled slightly away from the bustling streets of Unawatuna, the location provided a peaceful ambiance while being just a short walk to the beach and restaurants.

The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the breakfast buffet with a variety of options. We appreciated the freshly made eggs and pancakes, but at times, it felt a bit chaotic.

Facilities

The resort has multiple pools and a serene atmosphere perfect for unwinding. While they were well-kept, more attention to service around the facilities would have enhanced our experience.

I had an amazing stay at the resort with stunning views and a warm ambiance. The staff were incredibly attentive and remembered my name, which made me feel special. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, but it could have benefited from a wider variety of options. The pool area was lovely, though I think additional sun parasols would enhance the experience. Overall, it felt like a luxurious getaway, though there were a few minor issues that kept it from being perfect.

While the resort is beautifully situated, the beach access wasn't as convenient as expected, as I had to walk a bit to reach a nicer part. However, the views from the hotel were gorgeous.

The breakfast buffet was delightful and had genuinely good coffee, which is a rarity. However, I felt that the lunch and dinner options could improve in variety to match a 5-star standard.

Facilities

The facilities were well-maintained, especially the two pools which were clean and inviting. However, I would suggest adding more sun parasols around the pool area to enhance guest comfort.
