“The Ocean's greatest asset is its location, just steps from Unawatuna Beach. I especially appreciate the smaller size, lending a calm feel, and the thoughtful touches like free bikes for exploring; the air conditioning is a welcome comfort. It's an ideal spot for families looking for a relaxed beach vacation.”
