Очень уютный отель относительно других отелей Шри.Вы как будто отдельно от всего,он тихий,красивый,милый.Много живности на территории.Завтраки скудные но голодными не останетесь.Все довольно таки скромно,но в то же время спокойно,по домашнему.Интернет плох,в номере муравьи.Но ничего не испортило этот отдых.Персонал очень дружелюбный и всегда поможет.Просили резать фрукты никогда не отказывались.Все убирали и меняли каждый день.В общем советую

Chambre très spacieuse et propre au calme près du centre avec tout les magasins. Plage à environ 15 minutes à pieds mais l'hôtel possède une piscine . Personnel super accuilant avec un sourire permanent. Petit déjeuner très copieux avec beaucoup de choix. Nous avons déguster un crabe curry excellent.

We stayed in a budget room, which suited us fine. It was air-conditioned and had a small terrace we could sit out on. An advantage of the budget rooms is that they are near the restaurant so you get full strength Wi-Fi in them. The building and gardens offered a fabulous oasis in a rather over developed and busy resort. The pool was big and there were sufficient sun loungers most of the time but no matter what time I chose for my morning swim between 7 and 10 it was always closed for cleaning. We were very disappointed in the breakfast, as it was put out at 7.30 and , as far as we could see, was not then replenished. We ended up having to get up earlier than we would normally do on holiday just to take advantage of the breakfast we had paid for. The staff were friendly and helpful but could have understood their jobs better. For example, there wasn’t a morning when we didn’t have to gather cutlery from other tables before we could eat our breakfast. I’m glad I stayed there but would not do so again.

This place is stunning in terms of the substance and beauty of the building and garden. And the peace that it offers in the midst of the Moscow suburb that is the rest of Unawatuna was fantastic. The staff were kind, helpful and attentive but could do with a little more management guidance . The breakfasts were limited and offered little choice. Although great efforts were made the hotel does suffer from bitting insects. You will enjoy this place with good quality mozzie coils.

Изначально хотела поставить отелю твердую "4", но в процессе пребывания поняла, что влюбляюсь в него и не могу устоять перед сказочно красивой территорией с чарующе прекрасной природой. Вараны, гекконы, бурундуки, обезьяны, буйвол, мерцающие в ночи светлячки, летучая мышь, описывающая круги вокруг дерева, - это ли не рай? :) Вилла, утопающая в зелени и исключительно в звуках природы.. мне несказанно повезло с номером 9! отдельное спасибо за него, очень хочу вернуться именно туда - где нет соседей и полноценно отдыхаешь от города с его шумом и суетой. В общем, безгранично счастлива, что провела отпуск именно в Nooit Gedacht! подружилась с местной собакой, в последний вечер сидели вместе с ней на веранде и ели шоколадку. :) Персонал отеля очень вежливый, дружелюбный, очень приятно было иметь с ним дело по любым вопросам - старались помочь абсолютно во всем! Отдельная благодарность и низкий поклон менеджерам Нималу и Сахану! Очень рада была знакомству с вами. ^_^ Единственный минус - это плохо работающий Телеграмм, именно этот мессенджер практически все время работал со сбоями. Так что пользуйтесь лучше Вацапом или скайпом. Они работают исправно. Завтраки не разнообразные, но питательные: блинчики, омлет, рис с карри, вкусная жареная картошка, сок из папайи свежевыжатый тоже очень вкусный, выпечки практически нет, но я и не любитель. Бассейн по вечерам очень красив, с яркой подсветкой, народу вечером у него мало, днем чаще всего у бассейна нежатся европейцы. Что касается океана, то волны были довольно буйные. Строптивая стихия не дала поплавать нормально. Будьте осторожны, заплывать чуть дальше берега очень опасно, были очень нехорошие случаи... но не будем об этом. Солнце тоже очень сильно ужалило в первые дни. Лучше пользоваться кремом 50. По главным пунктам пробежалась. Желаю всем прекрасного отдыха в этом необыкновенно прекрасном отеле с гостеприимном персоналом! Лора, Москва

Wow the hotel is more of heritage been frozen in times. Good place with all the modern amenities. Peaceful place for family and friends. Lot of mosquitoes but that’s not their problem, carry mosquito repellants with you. Good food and pool to relax.
