Amazing hotel just by the beach. Was in doubt between this one and the Marriott but after seeing both would go for this every day. Smaller, quieter, staff is the nicest I’ve seen and always happy to help. Room was just perfect, cleaned every day, AC, sea view and the pool and breakfast area were amazing as well.

Great Hotel Location with quickest access to Ocean
We were extremely happy to book this hotel for a family stay. Two bedrooms with huge beds, and huge bathroom. Its location is very good. It doesn't matter are you in swimming pool or sunbathing on sunbed, few steps and you are in the ocean. Not high waves (the highest we spot was around 1.5 meters) but kids loved to jump on it. You can rent surfboard or bodyboard on the premises. Staff is polite. Dinner menu was impressive, but we tried it once. As hotel has a great location, we tried almost all on the beach sea food restaurants at Merissa (around 7 minutes from the hotel location by TukTuk). The only issues we had is a closure time of Swimming Pool and SPA - 17:00. At other hotels where we stayed closure time was 20:00. If in future at least swimming pool closure time will be improved I would give this hotel five starts. Definitely will stay in this hotel at our further trip to SL.

Game Over
It is clear they are feeling the pinch from the new Marriott next door, but rather than hold the highest standards for a unique stay, things look in mild despair. The restaurant was abandoned minus one guy behind the bar on the floor. Buffet setup was half thrown around only to find out they have stopped the buffet due to low occupancy - so why not clean it up??? The front desk never answered the phone even though there was no business. & when I asked for a late check out they were more concerned with my having bought the reservation through hotels.com rather than the hotel is ENTIRELY vacant. Why rush me out when they could go out of their way to deliver superb hospitality?

A small resort in an ideal location
We spent 5 wonderful days here and have nothing but praise for the resort, the staff and the value for money ratio. Within walking distance of Weligama and a short Tuk-tuk ride from Marissa, you are far enough out of but close enough to the hustle and bustle. Situated on the beach is perfect for decent rest and relaxation.

Ok hotel but
Hotel has a reasonable location at the beach, the staff are polite and nice but the wifi has never worked during our stay and the staff of the SPA did not show up for work during two consecutive days...Not recommended. There are much better alternatives in Mirissa.

Somewhat overpriced for the facility.
This hotel is situated nicely on a beach that is great for beginner surfers. However, the rooms are a bit tired. The staff provides nice little touches like flowers on the bed, but then there are oddities like a glass dish on the night table that is cracked and chipped, and squashed mosquitos on the walls that have not been cleaned off. The restaurant is next to the beach, and breakfast was decent, but the flies are a bit crazy. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Bathrobes are sized for very small people - our 5'4" lady found them small so imagine me at 6'2". Cigarette burn hole in the bed sheet, shower didn't drain toward the drain but pooled at the other end. The first two nights we had some open no-name shampoo and lotion bottles which were later replaced with the more traditional screw top bottles. At the end of the day it's a decent stay but we have visited hotels in Sri Lanka for the same price that were far superior in terms of room, amenities, and quality of restaurant.

Need some maintenance !!!
First of all the good points : the beach is great and the staff is very nice !!! BUT .... the hotel seriously need some maintenance and care on several points. We are a family of 4 and so we always book 2 rooms. The 2 rooms that they gave us initially had a quite strong smell of mold . In addition to that one of the aircon was dripping water like a fountain and one of the courtains could not be raised . Very kindly they proposed us to change . We visited a junior suite . Very nice big double room , but the mold smell in the bath room was really unbearable. We finally settle for two rooms in one of the bungalows. Quite nice , also because there were much less noise from the main room. OK , still the bathrooms were a bit smelly ( seems to be a generalized issue ), still one of the courtains could not be raised , and we discover later that one of the rooms aircon was indeed working but was not producing any cold air ... and in the same room the fan regulator was borken so it was either not working or producing a noise like an airplane propeller. Result of all that : I was unable to sleep properly for 3 nights . Cleaning in the commonm area also present some opportunities for improvement . The Marriot Hotel construction site next to the Hotel generate quite some dust , which coates the common areas .... and those are not cleaned and you feet get literally coated also. Last surprise , was a couple of metal wires in the pool. So in short : disappointed !!!!

Hotel is nice but very poor hygiene
The hotel is nice but more than half of its rooms are empty even in popular season in December so don't book in advance as you will get a much better price when your travel date is near (or even last minutes booking) as most of the rooms are not really booked! Don't believe the booking system. The other thing to complain about is that in the morning buffet room, so many flies are flying around and on the food. The staff paid no attention to this. You can imagine how bad the kitchen can be! It would be easily overtaken by the nearby now-building Marriott unless it lowers its price by 1/3.
