I had a wonderful time at Full Moon resort in Unawatuna, which I revisited after three years. The beach vibe is perfect, and the food was definitely a highlight with fresh seafood. However, I did notice that the rooms could use more attention in terms of cleanliness, as they had a musty smell and seemed dated. Overall, the welcoming atmosphere and amazing food made my stay memorable despite the room issues.
