They graciously took on a large party for 3 days at short notice. That didnt have any affect on the service in any aspect. The food and spread were amazing and very well prepared. The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly. The rooms are great - very spacious, open, clean. The vibe of the hotel is very breezy, colourful and lovely. Thank you to the staff for being very helpful, patient and for one of the best services ever experienced, for being flexible. To have experienced such amazing hospitality during a crisis in our island, to see the staff always smiling and lending a hand was so heart warming. FYI - Spicey and Ginger, the in-house dogs, are very loyal and friendly. If you are hesding to the rocky parts of the beach, they will follow and stay with you.

I LOVED IT ! If you are looking for a relaxing time at a beach in Galle with a touch of luxury , this is the place. The fine dine meals were done by a well experienced Cheff and had unique flavors with a nice presentation. We were served by a super team with Dinesha the reservation manager , Dileepa the restaurant manager and even Chathuranga our lifeguard at the beach. Came with 5 families in Aug 2022.

Rooms are so spacious and good view from rooms. housekeeping and front office staff was friendly and helpful Restaurant staff was not so professional. All the Western menus such as Western breakfast and fried rice menu for lunch was not upto the standard and its a waste of money in my opinion,but all the sri lankan menus was delicious and top notch 👌. Don't reserve the aqua romance rooms(with Private pool) it's a scam ,they have divided a large pool with a fence ,so if you expect some privacy by paying for a private pool you won't get that,and the main pool is just 10 yards away so no point. Upul from front office staff was very professional and friendly with us. If you are will to use the beach ,its a safe location, hotel also has a life guard at the beach and the beach if less crowded as its a private beach. The suit rooms are so spacious and worth the price and also they have Netflix . Insuit jacuzzi are good but sometimes have few technical faults such as settings wont work.most rooms has jacuzzi in the bathroom but few rooms provide them in the balcony, so go for jacuzzi in the balcony room if possible. Poor water pressure in bathroom showers Place is 4 star worthy but I decided to give a 3 star rating mainly beach of the food and restaurant staff matters I mentioned earlier.

Stayed at the suit.. Room was great, lot of space.. Washroom and the room were really clean.. Food was delicious, but the menu was somewhat limited.. It was ok because the menu changed everyday.. Staff was really helpful.. Went there on off season, so the beach was not good for bath.. But overall the stay was wonderful.. We stayed there for 3 days.. I would give them 9.5/10😊👍

What an awesome place really can’t fault anything. Service was friendly and attentive both at restaurant and rooms. Highly recommend staying here to enjoy great hospitality without comprises. Plenty of space to relax by the beach, great swimming pool and fantastic pool table. Make sure you do not miss the most relaxing massage, booking can be made at reception. Will definitely come back for more.

This place is not worth for the money you have to pay. Service not good, food options are not good, beach area is so smelly and dirty, can’t take a walk in the beach, don’t ever think about bathing there. Don’t go there if you are hoping for a luxury experience.

The staff was very friendly. They communicated well with us through phone as well as at the location. The food was tasty and the portions were very generous in this restaurant. We spent a quality time there. There's a beautiful beach and the restaurant is quiet spacious to hang out with your friends.

All the staff were very attentive and friendly. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them. We were made very welcome despite my husband being taken very ill and spending 9 days in intensive care they could not do enough to make sure our stay was very pleasant

My friend took me here for my birthday and it was nothing short of spectacular. Property is clean, comfortable and right on the beach. We had a lower room with a plunge pool. Food was also great, highly recommend trying sri lanken breakfast with Sri lanken spice! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you for such an incredible stay, I look forward to seeing y’all again.

This place is maintained well enough. Closer to the beach. Actually you can visit the beach. Lots of foreigners visit and stay in Coco bay. Worth visiting. A bit pricy though

Amazing staff and I must say the rooms specially the suite was amazing ..I love the place and the food as well …we enjoyed our short stay .

So friendly staff, quite place with few peoples. Nice food and clean beach.

Supportive staff. A bit pricey though. Food is decent, too bad they don't have buffet.

We stayed at CocoBay for 3 nights at the end of November and it was absolutely wonderful! The staff could not be more friendly, helpful, happy and a pleasure to be with. The rooms were so clean and spacious, with a brilliant pool and a fantastic view of the sea. The food was incredible with a variety of dishes to try. Location is perfect to see stilt fishermen and Galle Fort. Make sure to try the King Coconut!!! HIGHLY recommend!!! Thank you for having us and making our stay so memorable!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful small hotel, I believe 17 rooms, location is idyllic with its own private beach, sea is nice and shallow so safe for everyone, can walk out without any drops. Very clean, spacious, lots of fresh fish, lobster and prawns, we have twice witnessed fresh fish been pulled in by nets, by the local fisherman, rooms are very spacious, clean, and room service is excellent, staff, and manager, very helpful, friendly, there is nothing that could improve this lovely hotel. Food very good, with lots of choice, we drank some lovely wines, and the local gin and tonic very good and refreshing. Fort Galle is just 10 minutes by car, well worth visiting, a city within a city and a world heritage site, you can see this across the bay from our Hotel. Also on the way to the Fort there are several fish stalls, we spent 2 hours here fascinated by all the fish, lobsters, Prawns, octopus, and fish we did not recognise, all the fisherman were so friendly and understood English very well. There are many guests we have spoken to whom come back here every year to chill, all in all a very relaxing place, right on the beach , facing the Indian Ocean, with the most kindest people we have ever met.

Enjoyed staying here The good: Every day they cleaned the rooms that were really clean. The soap they provide is a brilliant thing, super expensive if you want to buy it but was really good. You can choose from a variety of pillows, so they make sure you find the most comfortable one for yourself. They also cleaned our plunge pool too, every morning by the time we woke up, so it was charming to get into it. Breakfast was good, but super expensive if you buy it on the spot. We left the hotel just after midnight as our plane left super early, they prepared for us a doggy bag breakfast. (it was funny to eat boiled egg on the airport from a cake box :) ) The bad: It wants to look fancier than it is. It really would like to be a 4-star hotel but somehow it is missing sometimes professionalism, sometimes though it is fully professional it was a mixed feeling. It bothered us that sometimes you could feel a sewage smell. The bathtub (jacuzzi) was super old, looked not charming, and didn't use it. Food was super expensive in the hotel, this was the first place on the island where we were faced with all sorts of tax on top of the price written (government tax and service fee together 33%!!!). Since there is a river flowing into the ocean near the hotel the water is not charming green on its beach, again not the hotel's fault.

Amazing Location- Private beach access, and good location to have a peaceful beach bath and beach activities with family and friends. Friendly Staff and Good customer service! We stayed in the Privilege Ocean Suit room and its very spacious, clean and up to a good standard. Amazon food as well! Overall a very great experience! :) Would recommend to anyone!

The Hotel itself wasn't bad. It was situated very close to the beach (Right in front of the restaurant) The beach itself was secluded and didn't see any people outside of guests at the beach. We had it all to ourselves. We were able to walk in to the sea for quite a distance without having to worry about not being able to swim. Water was up to our waists. The beach was swept and cleaned each morning so it was ideal for me to play with my toddler. Negatives *The staff seemed overly friendly. Professionalism wasn't a key part of their training and it showed. They were too personal. I prefer to keep to myself, but the staff just kept trying to chat up and start a conversation. Also barged in the room with room service when I preferred to have just collected my meals at the door. *The food wasn't great. Very blant and tasteless. We ordered a soup which tasted like pasta broth and then received a pasta dish that tasted the same. The steak was too chewy. The parata and curries tasted better. They also messed up our order and delivered an ice bucket to the wrong room and had us wait for about half an hour for it. The caramel pudding was too sweet for my taste but the fruit was fresh, which was good. Asked for an omelette in the morning and received sunny side up. *The interior design is too over the place and clashed and didn't looked to put together. It would be nice if the hotel could hire a professional for some insight. Overall staff needs more training on etiquette and customer care. Skipping meals here is recommended. The hotel, the room and rest of the facilities were pretty great. 👍

The whole stay was just fantastic! Started with a really warm welcome, an upgrade to a better room, the very friendly staff, enough sunbeds at the beach, really delicious food at the restaurant,.. We can definitely recommend a stay at the CocoBay in Unawatuna! It is worth the money.

I can really only praise Cocobay. The hotel is right on the beach, there are beautiful sunsets here. All rooms are very spacious, the beds are soft, the sheets, towels etc. smell fruity, really good thanks to a tropical fabric softener. There is a jacuzzi and the rooms are also nicely decorated. The staff is an absolute dream. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. We also had two surfing lessons with the life guard, super fun. The food is delicious and there is also enough choice for vegetarians. The rooms are cleaned daily and beautifully decorated, every single employee is hardworking and very accommodating. In Sri Lanka we only met incredibly lovely people; there was never a moment in which we felt uncomfortable or unsafe. There are also two dogs that belong to the hotel and are very cute, Chai and Spice. :3 And you always find little baby crabs that are just as cute to watch. For us it was so great to be able to be here, an absolute dream!

Home away from home, very warm and friendly staff. Love to be here again and again.

Fantastic vacation place. The best room i have ever been in a hotel/motel. Beach area have plenty of sun benches. The staff are great and accomodating. One medium size pool located beside the dining area. Taking a stroll on the beach is nice. Food was great. Highly recommended for a nice vacation in Sri Lanka.

Good place to have breakfast lunch and dinner. Delicious pizza. Other food need to improve

Good food and service 👌 Great location too👍

I only gave it 4 star and not 5 because the place was a bit tired looking. The staff, the location and especially the food, were awesome and I would highly recommend the place.

Was a fantastic stay. Very beautiful and calming location. Awsome sea view. We kept eating their cuisines in the whole day and they were absolutely yummm. Very friendly and caring staff. We'll surely visit there again. Loved it and highly enjoyed our stay♥️

One of the best places to visit in Sri Lanka with nice comfy spacious rooms and breathtaking view and cannot forget about their food 😍😍 we have already visited 2 times and looking forward to visit again, highly recommend

we had great stay . Stayed in Aqua Romance room and it was wonderful and relaxing. Plunge pool was also clean. They had all meals al-a-carte. Food was delicious and Exceptional. there services are so good.Staff is friendly and helpful. The bathroom was spacious. Nice view of the ocean Service- 4.8 Location- 4.5 Rooms-4.5

We stayed in CocoBay for 2 weeks in April2020, as we had to do our 2 weeks of Quarantine in a Level 1 safe&secure hotel. We had such a good time during our stay at CoCoBay and felt professionally treated of all stuff members. It didn’t feel like quarantine at all. What is more, it was amazingly well organised. Even during the time of planning our trip, when a lot was still unsure on whether we can even travel to Sri Lanka, we always had our contact at CoCoBay, who helped out and patiently answered all of our questions at any time of the day. The people of CoCoBay welcomed us very warm and gave us a perfect start for our Sri Lanka experience. We even made some friends. One of the waiters, Dileepa, which we had a really good time with during our stay at CoCoBay has done a great job and helped out wherever he could. We are still in contact with him and are very thankful to have got to known him.

Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a Fantastic sea view all the day. Locates very close to Welipanna highway exit . Hotel has quite small pool but it facing the sea and view is superb. There are variety of meals available and you can have sea bath. In addition to that they maintain their private beach nicely.

Located out looking the sea, Cocobay is a hotel with a great view. It is spacious, clean and well maintained. The rooms are designed with good attention to detail and well kept. Food was really tasty and had a good portion size. Activities like pool table, swimming pool and walking along the beach is available. The customer service was exceptional. It was highly worth the money spent!

Imagine a multiverse; a universe where Geoffrey Bawa is a colourblind father of twins who left his design unattended for an hour and there you have it: a carefully thought out architectural plan with an orange and lime green(?!) finish, Cocobay. Staff were nice, and attentive, although this felt like more of a duty than a calling; I get the feeling there's a revolving door of waiters coming and going which doesn't say much about the management. Food was pretty average. Nice view of Dewata Bay. I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT THE BUILDING!!! Seriously strange. Whoever built the shell had taste; whoever installed the fittings and started the hotel business did not. Unless they had a stroke, in which case I apologise - it would explain a lot, though. Between three of us, the bill came to 30,000LKR+, for an average meal, excellent service and decent drinks. I probably won't be revisiting, unless they want help in interior design.

CoCo Bay is one of the best places we’ve been to. Especially when it comes to customer service. The staff is very attentive and they make sure the guests are given the best care. The rooms are clean, spacious and quite attractive. We were able to enjoy both Sri Lankan and Western cuisines and the food was delicious. My favorite would be Sri Lankan cuisine of theirs since it had everything I was craving for. Their beef curry is on point and probably one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The space is huge, scenic and well maintained. All in all CoCo Bay is a place I’d recommend anyone who’s interested in good food, exceptional customer service and a quality time with your loved ones. We absolutely loved the stay!

it is a super place to enjoying the evening. Visited there for a dinner..very delicious seafood platter, reasonable prices Service is very friendly and supportive.

Booked a room with private pool. We got there and upon viewing decided not to check in as room was basic, pool was in the shade and in a very windy spot. Room wasn't very clean. Bath was discoloured and had mould in places. Decided to move on to another hotel down the road (Postcard Hotel) which was much nicer and better value for money.

Best place to spend your vacation or holidays. Their staff is very friendly and always ready to go extra mile to fulfill your requirements. Very relaxing environment and really nice foods.

Amazing Food and wonderful customer service! Special requests were catered beyond expectation all thanks to the team! Special Mention to Ms Dinesha (Reservations Officer), Mr Dileepa (Food & Beverage Manager) and Manager at the Front Desk (Sorry couldn’t get your name).

Stayed there and the location was excellent. But the attitude of the management was very stingy ( wonder weather it was only for the local tourists) Only 1 L of bottled water, counted number of creamer sachets 1 for each person (that were also didn't disovle properly), suger 2 sachets per person, 1 sachet of Nescafé ( content were clumpy) per person and many number of tea sachets. The dinner and breakfast times were the worst. They took ages to serve. Sat down for dinner at 7 pm and serving went on till 10 pm for a group of 20 people. The appetizer severd was to have cuttlefish in it but in my serving there were none. Disappointed. What prominently seen was that everything was rashioned. Even they didn't serve water till the end. Luckily we had our supply. Breakfast was more a pain. The English breakfast was served with Sri lankan roasted bread among the two pieces of toasted bread and two mini Vienna rolls served. These had to be eaten with a shared table spoon of Marmalade !!! Many other baffling and irritating things happened with an inexperienced serving staff and a very stingy attitude. The room surroundings were good but the large king sized bed had two mattresses which were over used and uncomfortable. The facilities were over priced. We didn't get the money's worth. Only consolation was the view.

I was lucky to have a few yoga classes with Lakmal at Coco Bay. I have experience with quite many yoga instructors, but never met such a perfect one. He explains first class, corrects details and he is a fantastic motivator who pushed me to push my limits.
