Overpriced
Lovely settling excellent staff, although we of the opinion the place didn't have a manager. The place needs attention to detail throughout without large expenditure. One major thing is the pool, which isn't user friendly there are no proper steps to get in it, otherwise it is well kept. Finally the price is outrageous what with 27% being added to and already high price of $260 per night. Such a shame as this place could be a perfect retreat. We stay 15 nights.

The best hotel in Sri Lanka !!!!!
An amazon hotel with very beautiful and spacious rooms. We had the cinnamon suite which has the most beautiful bathroom without roof. The open-end pool is amazing with a view on the beach. The food is delicious and the staff is very nice and discreet. It was amazing and even cheap for what you get. I´d recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to relax for few days.

Basic facilities, done extremely well
For a quiet, authentic stay with family or friends Apa Villa provides exceptional service in an intimate setting. The air conditioning could be substantially extended to cover larger areas of the villas than just the bedroom. I also found it not to work in some of the rooms which made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. The staff and service on hand were impeccable and for this alone I would highly recommend to others. This is a wonderful part of the south so is a flexible base to plan day trips to Weligama, Unawatuna and for the adventurous Haputale or Ella.

Paradis à quelques minutes de Unawatuna
Havre de paix au bord de la mer. Relaxation assurée! Placé à Thalpe, 5min à pied de la station de train de Thalpe, à 10min en tuktuk du centre de Unawatuna, le Apa villa nous a surpris par sa piscine infinie, sa proximité avec la mer et les belles vues. Le service était impeccable. Petit-déjeuner aux petits soins, chambre majestueuse avec salon privé. À recommander sans faute! Loin du cahos de Unawatuna.

Wunderbares Boutique-Hotel zum Entspannen
Wir waren eine Woche in der Apa Villa und haben jeden einzelnen Tag genossen! Die Zimmer sind stilvoll eingerichtet und der wunderschöne Garten mit den Palmen und dem kleinen Infinity-Pool lädt zum Verweilen ein. Da es sich um ein kleines Hotel mit wenigen (ca. 6?) Wohneinheiten handelt, ist es sehr ruhig und familiär. Das Personal rundete unserem Aufenthalt durch das aufmerksame Service ab. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder :)

Bezauberndes stilvolles Hotel direkt am Strand
Das Hotel kenne ich schon seit 5 Jahren. Zwischenzeitlich habe ich auch andere Hotels besucht aber..... bisher habe ich keine Alternative zu diesem gemütlichen Hotel direkt am Strand gefunden. Es zieht mich immer wieder ins Apa Villa. Ich fühle mich hier ausgesprochen wohl, es ist sehr ruhig gelegen, das Personal ist aufmerksam, die Zimmer absolut sauber und der direkte Strand mit dem Pool unmittelbar davor ist einfach traumhaft. Abends kann man gemütlich auf seiner eigenen Terrasse dinieren selbst bei starkem Regen sitzt man geschützt und kann das Naturschauspiel genießen.
