Me and my boyfriend needed a relaxing weekend and this hotel is the perfect one. Not too much people and everything was amazing in this hotel. Staff is very attentive to our needs. Food is also amazing. We’ll recommend the coconut ice cream and the Weligama Bay special Tuna. The staff also clean our room and change bedsheets everyday, so if you don’t want that, you can tell right away

The location is amazing and hotel rooms are nice and clean. Reception and cleaning staff friendly.pool attendant was great, really friendly and open to giving info on when the best time to surf was.

Great location right on the beach, very nice hotel with very big rooms, hotel staff is very friendly, and the hotel restaurant is very nice and children friendly. Don’t understand why people complain about the near by hotel, you don’t notice it, or complain about the crows or noise from the road (which you do not hear at all).

staff quoted us an insane amount for a taxi, and were not very helpful in this respect. Rooms are a tiny bit tired looking and quite a lot of street noise.
Rooms were big and spacious with a lovely balcony. The setting is beautiful, and having breakfast overlooking the beach was amazing.

“Alright”

Breakfast included in room rate but due to low occupancy, they didn’t tell us that we’d have ala carte. Reception and restaurant staff didn’t seem to eager to impress or go out of their way when we had requests. Basic answer was always no, they seemed to be more concerned with not bending their house rules - property is small and wasn’t what we expected as per pictures but situated in the bay and clean. I wouldn’t return as they failed to impress and felt for the value we paid, had lack of hospitality.
Our housekeeper Pri, always with such a genuine smile and ready to help

The crows that habitat the garden. They live of the garbage of the next door neighbours; the Marriott hotel.
Location is perfect in Mirissa. A nice beach in front of the hotel where you can surf. Extra service was very much appreciated.

Food was excellent, staff v nice and helpful. However our room A/C packed up in the night around 11pm, thry did come and check it and finally could not rectify it and offered us another room, we accepted but having waited over an hour , decided to go to sleep thogh it wasnt comfortable. In the morning when i checked i was told that the person who had asked if we wsnted to shift had thought we said no!! Miscomunication i guess, this was a pity as we paid for A/C rooms and didnt hv it )-:

Couldn’t fault it.
Such a perfect relaxing stay ! The staff were lovely and super friendly. The room was comfortable, spacious and our first good shower in Sri Lanka. The breakfast buffet had good variety, with a egg/pancake station made to order. The beach was really clean ! Comfortable sun loungers on the beach front, and you can rent surfboards/ body boards/SUP from the hotel for reasonable prices. Nice location, walking distance to other restaurants and great coffee shop nearby (Nomad.. recommend for coffee and smoothie bowls !!)

There isn’t anything I could mention.
Paradise. Amazing food! Staff could not have been more helpful. Chef even came out and talked about the food. Just wonderful. Beer and wine was all very reasonably priced which is unusual for such an upmarket hotel. Bed was made with flowers scattered over the room every day. Beach was so beautiful and the waves were amazing. Really was the perfect way to wind down after 2 weeks of travelling around the island.

“Great but spoiled by the silly policies - dont blame the staff blame the managment.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 3 nights
1. Ridiculous policy for surf board rental - they were well worn and used but if you were unlucky enough that on the day of rental a fin broke (that could have been battered for months before) then you will be charged 3000 LKR. Speaking to several guests all agreed that norma wear and tear should be the in the rental price. For my rental they tried to sneak this charge into my final bill without telling me. To the management - drop this ridiculous policy - your staff and guests really really dislike it. 2. One evening when myself and family were asleep we were woken to loud persistent knocking on the villa door. It was a waiter from the restaurant - they had forgotten to add some drinks to the bill so needed me to sign it and thought that I should be woken up for this process. On enquiry I learned that the staff would be made to pay if something got missed which is why they are very persistent with signing off additional spend. Another annoying policy.
Staff great and lovely atmosphere
