Resorts en Mirissa

Ventajas: We had included breakfast, which we found delicious. You could choose between Sri Lankan breakfast or English one. The property has also a front beach where you can learn how to surf. The rooms were big and the bathroom was clean.

Desventajas: It was a little far from the main beaches where you can learn and have the real experience of surfing

Ventajas: Not only perfect location, food, valueformoney rooms but esceptionally friendly owners, Latheena has real human touch to any issues that can ossur. Best place to be, to feel like home. Surely come back again

Ventajas: Originally booked 2 nights there but extended for 5 more days! Really good surf spot right in front of the hotel. The Restaurant was so good that we rarely ate out!

Ventajas: Very lovely stuff, great services, close to the beach, surfing lessons, laundry service. It was great place for surfing. You have to try pancakes for the breakfast. Very friendly people in the hotel. We loved to stay.

Desventajas: The fan didn't work, but we had AC so we used AC. Mold on the ceiling in the bathroom but it's very common everywhere.

Ventajas: The location, personal, big place, really good room, breakfast brillant, food amazing, 2 steps to the beach, i mean on the beach. I came for 2 nights but i spent 6, waves amazing and cheap price to rent. Owners really helpfull and polite. Thanks and i hope to came back.

Ventajas: Todo, la comida barata y buenísima, el personal genial, simpático y amable. El desayuno perfecto. El lugar precioso wifi perfecto. Tranquilo y salida a la playa. Por poco mas hay aire acondicionado, que yo no use.

Desventajas: No había agua caliente pero ni me importó ni lo avisé. La fría iba perfecta.

Ventajas: The staff were very friendly and helpful. If you need to have your room clean, just ask. The owner is a kind and very attentive lady. The food in restaurant is tasty

Desventajas: All was good

Ventajas: Its nice place a bit far from the village, real heaven for surfers. Breakfasts are good. A lot of fruits, nice bread, cheese and omelets. But is all the same every day, nothing changes. I was there for about 3-4 mornings and was bored by the very end. They make something like papaya juice – its blended with water and I didn’t feel good after it once. You can enjoy your food with a good view. Also you can have dinners and lunches here. Its simple but nice – curry was perfect. When you choose accommodation with a sea view, be ready that the rooms looks like shop-window. So you have to always close curtains to have some privacy so it’s a bit dark. It’s not possible to leave the door opened to have some fresh air and listen to the ocean but the is a small window so it helps. It`s clean, you have to give the key to the cleaners and pick it up in the reception.

Desventajas: Personal is not very polite, I didn’t feel comfortable, they don’t speak English good. Actually, I had my own bad experience here. I booked a bungalow that was supposed for 3 but I was travelling along and wanted to have a bigger place and more private place. So I was ready to pay more. 1. They don’t answer at booking. I wanted to come one night earlier, everything was booked but I wanted to make sure. Nobody answered and when I called a few times nobody answered. So I booked the other place. And when I came to the hotel next day it was plenty of free rooms available. 2. When I arrived, nobody expected me. It was a surprise for them. They didn’t checked my booking details and brought me to the smallest room with no view. I had to go back and had a fight. I said that I have conformation for booking a bungalow. They moved me again but it was not bungalow again – it was good room, but much smaller and cheaper. I had to talk with the manager and she said they bungalow is NOT AWALUBLE as they decided to leave it for the other family! HOW IS IT POSSIBE? They offered me to pay the same price for the smaller room, I refused, I got a discount but the room still was cheaper. Then I said them that maybe I should give up from booking and go to the other place and they said that it would be the best idea! I was ready to do it but it was too late already so I decided to stay. 3. At the very end I had to pay for breakfasts in addition and nobody informed me about it – my booking was including breakfasts. 4. So I don’t like hoe its organized and stuff was bad.

Ventajas: I stay just one night but the staff it’s very very good! On this day it’s a birthday of my girlfriend and make a especially order and the manager prefer the room with balloons and party confetti’s. Breakfast it’s so tasty and the pool it’s great too! Definitely come back!

Ventajas: Friendly staff, good Sri Lankan breakfast.

Desventajas: Near to the sea, but 5-10 min walk to the beach. Busy road right next to Hotel gets some noise to room.

Ventajas: The room was clean and comfortable. The meals were fantastic and the beach is a short walk away where you can swim with turtles.

Desventajas: Nothing! Mr Liyanage and family were excellent hosts and we could not recommend this hotel more.

Ventajas: Really liked the pool, the breakfast was massive and very tasty and the location of hotel was excellent as it was right next to the beach!

Desventajas: The room wasn't particularly clean, everything was a bit dated and the shower whilst hot, was broken so you had to hold the shower head. We were in a room closest to the main road so it was quite noisy when in the room. We were also not actually given any information when checking in and was just rushed to the room so wasn't aware the times of the breakfast etc.

Ventajas: Son muy majos y el desayuno es estupendo

Desventajas: No está en primera línea, sino al otro lado de la carretera, pero son tan encantadores que cuesta decirlo

Ventajas: La habitación era amplia pero las camas no eran muy cómodas. El personal fue amable en todo momento. La piscina es grande y hay tumbonas donde poderte relajar. La habitación tiene un pequeño balcón. El desayuno está incluido en el precio y estaba riquísimo. Tostadas, rotis, egg hoppers... todo casero.

Desventajas: La ubicación. En la descripción pone que está en primera linea de playa y hay que cruzar una carretera y además la entrada a la playa está más apartada. Se encuentra cerca del coconut tree hill pero un poco más alejada de la playa de mirissa.

Ventajas: Nice family run place. Amazing breakfasts. Good rooms.

Desventajas: Location is a 200 m walk from the beach. Easy walk. This place is great!

Ventajas: Room has lots of space. Breakfast was delicious and different from day to day. Walking distance from beach, restaurant and shops.

Desventajas: The main building and pool could use a little more care and cleaning.

Ventajas: we were 4 ppl and all satisfied, nice breakfast

Ventajas: Nos trataron muy bien, desayuno muy abundante, piscina limpia, habitación cómoda.

Desventajas: Wifi iba muy mal, solo puedes leer mensajes, nada de ver vídeos o subir fotos. El hotel lo están acabando, en segundo piso hay reformas.

Ventajas: El desayuno era abundante y bueno, y teniamos la playa relativamemte cerca andando.

Desventajas: El baño olia terriblemente mal, y la ropa de cama eran sabanas rotas y viejas. Nos tuvimos que ir antes por un mal calculo de días y nos hicieron pagar todo

Ventajas: La habitación amplia y limpia. La zona de piscina era muy acogedora. El desayuno rico y abundante.El hotel está a 10 minutos de los principales bares y restaurantes y hay una playa bonita en frente.

Ventajas: The location was superamazing! You cant stay at a better spot! they are really friendly and the boys really try to do their best

Desventajas: Its a little rundown and a bit basic for the money you are paying but the location is so perfect you forgive a lot :)

Ventajas: Ocean is a feet away

Ventajas: The location , even if it is not in the center of mirissa.

Desventajas: A feeling of being ripped off : The overall level of service was poor and far below what we expected. We have booked 2 rooms for 3 nights for around 650€. For example, there was no hot water and very few pressure in the shower. Consequently, we had to get our showers on some other hotel’s beach shower... There was no daily room service to clean the rooms. When we asked for our rooms to be cleaned, we were shown that lost in the small print was a clause in the check-in document that we had been asked to sign where the hotel conveniently says that the rooms will only be cleaned upon request. This clause was not pointed out was upon check in. No copy was provided OFC. Other example: we were only told upon check out that the room rate included a continental breakfast. This meant we were were charged from breakfast options which were not included in the rate. Why not simply inform us about the breakfast options while we were sitting for our breakfast. The service was so pour and slow they were incapable of bringing butter and bread at the same time, my Wife had to go in the kitchen to put them back in the toaster herself, we were 5 of us and had only 2 plates of eggs in 45 mn, the fruit juices never arrived...Day number 2, three of us chose to have breakfast elsewhere, the 2 teenagers who stayed never had a full breakfast but had to share a plate of pancakes because someone from the staff told them breakfast was not included! The Hotel only accepts cash which is not at all practical or even usual for a hotel of this supposed standing (why cash only anyway?). Overall, the experience in this hotel was very poor and the attitude of the owner/manager was very uncooperative making for a disappointing stay in Mirissa. We have left with the feeling of a rip-off and found an other hotel 35 mn away in a tuk tuk, right on a beach, with great service for the third of the price!

Ventajas: Best location, god food and nice staff! We stayed two weeks and we would like to come back!

Ventajas: The property has a lot of potential as it’s located right on the beach and has its own private beach. You can enjoy the view of the ocean with sand underneath your feet while you have breakfast. Two staff were nice to us- Dilan, Dilshan

Desventajas: Cleanliness and facilities were a huge issue. Bathroom smelled of sewerage all the time. The bathroom racks had lumps of hair of the previous guest which were not cleaned during the 3 day stay. There were no tea, coffee or toiletries in the room.

Ventajas: location near coco island

Desventajas: The hotel and the room are not clean, the room had sewer smell from the bathroom. The staff try to be friendly but takes ages to bring drinks or breakfast.

Ventajas: The location was great, away from the busy Mirissa stretch but close enough to get to if you want some vibe. The restaurant is right on the sea with beautiful views.

Desventajas: The hotel needs some maintenance. All the fixtures in the bathroom were rusted, the towel was frayed and stained, the fridge was very dirty. The single rooms have views, but off to the side. The best views are from the double rooms.

Ventajas: Its really much better as in many of the reviews. Walking distance to Mirissa Center for dinner and with more than 3 Tuk-Tuks outside eager to take you if you feel lazy. Because of a few less positive reviews, we arrived sceptical to the Hotel, but since we were staying for 6 nights the manager even agreed to our request to pay for our room on a daily basis. We got a room with direct view and sound of the ocean, balcony with 2 chairs and table. Quiet air-conditioning (one reviewer said it rattled), mosquito net around the 4 poster bed, electrical mosquito repellent plug, fridge and ventilator all new and strong wifi. Sheets were OK, shower water was warm and pressure OK (some reviewers complained about water, but for us it was fine). The hotel is a modern building (3-4 years old) and right on the beach and coral reef, with friendly staff (although sometimes inexperienced), choice of continental, or Sri Lankan breakfast. Deliciois tropicql fruit salad, fruit juice and fresh big coffee pot for breakfast (omelette and Sri Lankan breakfast were fine). Free use of mask and flippers (you can swim with turtles in coral reef in front of hotel). Free use of sun beds. There is a popular surf break right in front of the Hotel which looked quite friendly and a small palmed hill overlooking the ocean that attracts many younger tourists for sunset and selfies. Which makes the Seastar hotel quite reasonable I think for the price. But keep in mind this is Sri Lanka, not Thailand and tourism we experienced in Sri Lanka was a little rough around the edges. Like the waves in the ocean it's much easier if you know how to go with the flow...Wabi Sabi :)))

Desventajas: It seems that generally when compared to other tropical countries, hotel prices in the main Sri Lankan resorts are a bit higher, especially if booked online. So I can understand that some people will be dissapointed about the quality of their hotel. At the Seastar the rooms could be cleaned a little more thoroughly, but I accept it's not the Hilton. I think it's due to general Sri Lankan inexperience in mainstream tourism standards. But if you ask them to clean more, they will. The high humidity from being right on the ocean has over the years stained some of the furniture, which might disappoint guests upon arrival, before they realize all the other good things the hotel offers. Otherwise everything was fine.

Ventajas: The staff here treat you like family. The breakfasts were very yummy and the pool being right on the sea is like a dream. You can see turtles as you sunbathe. Even a comodo dragon!

Ventajas: Huge room! Huge comfortable bed and amazing view of the ocean - unobstructed and with lots of privacy! A private like beach just in next to the hotel and a restaurant selling fresh fish just inside the hotel. We had nice food and drinks there, watching the sunset and the coconut tree hill.

Desventajas: The hotel looks like it needs a general clan up as it looks a bit neglected. It has great big bright rooms but needs to be taken care of and add a personal touch in the rooms. there were also many ants in our room although it looked like there was no food for them to eat.

Ventajas: This hotel has one of the best locations, right at the beach front and yet in a very quiet part of Mirissa beach, just perfect. As mentioned by other users, the facilities are not superbly maintained thus there are number of small things you could complain about but there was nothing dramatic thus overall it is positive. Two important notes: some of the rooms have no mosquito net - this is a potentially big disadvantage in that place - you want to have your balcony wide open at the oceans front :) so hotel should equip all rooms with this and you should make sure you will get one. Another one is that some of the rooms are with 60|% ocean view and 40% side view - make sure you get rooms 100% ocean view - this is fair deal. For side views - it is still okay view but in my subjective opinion, pricing is not adequate... The staff were great !

Desventajas: One major is the smell from toilet drain, in afternoons smell was picking up...we did not spend afternoons in the room and night morning smell was always gone
