    The only things that could be improved are the option to exchange or withdraw money directly at the hotel, and having the bill made out in Sri Lankan rupees instead of US dollars.

    By far the best hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka! The shower had warm water, the swimming pool was very pleasant and clean, with comfortable sunbeds, pool towels, and even a bar. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and in the room we had tea, coffee, and water that was replenished daily. The finishing touches throughout the hotel were beautiful, and we also felt safe with a security guard at the entrance in the evenings. What made our stay truly outstanding was the personal service: snorkeling, surfing, and even a taxi were all arranged for us at very good prices. We couldn’t have wished for a better experience!

    Pool wasn’t clean. Breakfast had few options.

    Property is a 5 min walk from the beach. They have a really big pool with enough sunbeds. Rooms were comfortable. Massage was very relaxing.

    The air conditioning in one room could not be altered so was consistently too cold in the room.

    The pool facility was great, loved the sun loungers in the water. Location was also brilliant, giving us a short walk to restaurants and the beach. Staff were kind and helpful

    Breakfast was only ok. It would be good to have some more food options and there wasn’t hot water although I had a great bathtub in the room, which was a shame!

    A lovely hotel with a fabulous pool area. My room was huge and had a great bathtub. I also had a wonderful massage at the hotel too. Would recommend.

    Relaxed and attractive setting in Mirissa, it's also in a quiet location but not far from the beach and parties/surf etc. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome - nothing is too much for them. The on-site spa is excellent and well worth a visit. Our 3 night visit was good value for money.

    Only issue was the pool, as it wasn't clean. Apart from general debris like leaves (which is understandable) the actual pool water and the internal walls of the pool were not clean.

    Rooms were quite nice and pool and gardens were lovely too. Price overall was pretty decent - paid £50 per night incl breakfast which I thought was decent value.

    Beautiful hotel with a fabulous pool and spa. Food in the hotel was the best we had in Mirissa. Rooms were cleaned every day and the shower was powerful. The hotel is really peaceful with just the sound of lots of different birds. Only a short walk to the main beach and if you walk down the road towards secret beach at dusk you can watch fruit bats flying over..amazing sight!!

    The breakfast wasn’t the best. The WiFi wasn’t very good.

    - Staff were all lovely and more than willing to help with anything you need. Carried suitcases for us and also gave us drinks on arrival. - Room was cleaned everyday with fresh towels and water. - Bed was comfy. - Location was great - in walking distance to Weligama beach & Secret Beach but it was nice enough distance away that it was lovely and quiet rather than on the beach that played music, etc. - Pool area was nice with sunbeds and pool bar.

    Looks like the staff needs to be trained on service better. They are eager to do a good job, but quite inexperienced. Also - while ordering at the bar/restaurant, they didn't give a bill to sign even though they say it will be added to my room. I just found that a bit odd. The appliances and electric sockets were mismatched (Euro plug/Type D plug appliance but only Type C socket), so we needed adaptors for everything, including the installed hair dryer in the bathroom)

    We got two family rooms which were huge. They were very comfortable. The pool was awesome - especially with my 4 year old. They were very polite and friendly. Very good massage services too.
