In A Nutshell:

UBR is the only choice for anyone wanting a ‘resort’ type hotel at the glorious beach of Unawatuna. It’s a 3 star hotel but with some superior room options available.

Tips: The Deluxe Rooms and Luxury Suites offer fairly up-market accommodation options. Of course the main reason to stay at UBR would be to experience one of the world’s great beaches without having to stay on one of the many budget guesthouses that line the beach in all directions.
