centre hotel – and that matters. Restaurants are passable;
value for money outstanding.
Eden Resort & Spa, Beruwela
 The
refurbished Eden Hotel is unashamedly traditional, but it remains
one of the finer hotels on the west coast. It bravely strives
for a sense of grandeur, but its huge swimming pool and sandy
beach are the main attractions for many.

 A
few kilometres along the coast road from Unawatuna is Insight,
a simplistic but charming hotel. The 33 rooms are clean and
comfortable and the atmosphere relaxed. The hanger-roofed restaurant
and bar areas are airy and open, the food is perfectly sound
without being spectacular, the beachside swimming pool is a
decent size, and the sandy tropical beach and collection of
stilt fisherman are a stunning backdrop.
