Nalu Surf School & Shop Unawatuna Sri Lanka
Surf school
🫤 Unfortunately we didn’t have a good experience with Ranga. We paid for 2 hour private lesson, but got 1h 10 minutes with two other people. Ranga didn’t admit that he was training other people: ”they just surfed by themselves”. Later I asked those guys and they also paid for private lesson.

Sun Surf Paradise
Surf school
👍👍 We ended up "accidentally" next to the surf school which provoked few of us to try surf for first time. The guys are very friendly and indeed good teachers, they even told us that we will not pay if we do not ride the wave. But thanks to their professional and positive attitude - we enjoyed so much...

Hotel
🫤 Food and scenery were incredible, however if you are a light sleeper I would avoid sleeping here as you can hear literally every word and sound from your neighboring room. Unfortunately, we had neighbours who did not sleep until 2am and were extremely noisy until then so no sleep for us even with ea...

New Bay View Villa
Hotel
😠 Unfortunately very bad experience with this place. The hotel accepted telephone reservation after long negotiations. The employee tried to use an absurdly high dollar exchange rate, about 20% higher than the price on the street, or to force us to pay in USD while we wanted to pay in the local curr...
