Rooms have a nice ocean view and balcony. Room and the bathroom are large. Good wifi. The water in front of the hotel was too choppy to swim. I’m not sure if this is a seasonal problem.

It’s a convenient distance from unawatuna beach and Galle fort. If you’re only down south for a weekend, or for your first time I highly recommend. Excellent service, great breakfast, calm and pleasant private beach. Beautiful sunsets.

Had a brilliant time at Cocobay over Christmas and New Year. Enjoyed it so much, we stayed some extra days. Private beach is a small piece of heaven and i swam to jungle beach (about a mile) and that was super fun too. (can get a short rickshaw ride or walk also). Food was great, Sri Lankan or international cuisine available. Stayed in two different rooms and both great, clean and with sea and palm tree views. Going to Unawatuna which is great but always happy to come back. Special thanks to Pradeep, Dilan and Dinesha and the whole team for making our stay so good.

Great little find
This is a lvoely hotel, nocer than oics may suggest. Its pretty small, so staff get to know you and are very friendly. Not a lot in immediate vicinity, but Galle fort and Unawatuna town are a very short tuk tuk ride away. Beach and rooms all have amazing views across the bay to Galle Fort - sundown cocktails are a highlight here

All the staff and customer service at Cocobay Unawatuna were superb. They looked after me and my family and were accomodating on our arrival. The staff at the La Mer restaurant were also really friendly and accomodating to our needs. The location of the hotel is right next to Jungle Beach and very close to the beautiful Galle Fort by tuk tuk. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay near Galle/Unawatuna!

What a fantastic hotel and staff! We stayed in the Aqua Romance room which has a huge jacuzzi and personal plunge pool. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The hotel itself is right on the beach which made the stay so relaxing. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great so we didn’t end up swimming in the ocean. The hotel itself is located between Galle and Unawatuna and only costs about 400 rupees for a tuk tuk to each location. The food was amazing! Hoppers and curry for breakfast and seafood platters for dinner!! And finally, the staff were just incredible. So friendly and accommodating and always working with a smile on their faces. Can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Reviews are deceiving
I do not consider this a 4 star hotel. I have stayed at 4 and 5 star hotels all over the world, and at best, this is a 3 star hotel. The rooms are aesthetically pleasing. However, our bathroom had a strong stench, that we informed management about. The stench literally made my fiancé ill, and we were met with the response "We can give you another room for $40 additional a night". The principle that we were asked to pay to simply have a room without a stench, really did not sit well with us at all. I had room service, and the food was okay. The beach and pool are small, and not aesthetically pleasing. If you are accustomed to true 4 and 5 star hotels, this is not your hotel.

Sweet Spot on the Beach
Cocobay is a delightful retreat in an intimate beach cove nearby Jungle Beach. Coco Bay's very professional and caring staff will meet your every need, and their food is out of this world! Make sure to enjoy a massage- it's a unique and delightful experience. Ask for room 1, 2 or 3 if you would like your own private splash pool, the rooms are wonderful! Hike up to Jungle Beach and around the beach cove area, there is a beautiful temple at the top of the road, not to be missed! Galle Fort is just 4 km tok-tok (taxi) ride away with lovely shops and views. We loved our time at CocoBay and highly recommend it.
