We were very happy to stay in this beautiful hotel with a great staff. From check-in to check-out, everything was fine. The rooms are modern and offer a fantastic view. The area is very nice and clean. The food at the Welligama Kitchen is definitely a highlight, and we enjoyed the excellent food and service a lot. We would like to express a special thank you to our personal "assistant," Nishadi; she was very kind and helpful. We would also like to thank the great kitchen and service team, with a special mention to Nazmi, Thiruna, and Fayaz. They truly made a difference by doing a fantastic job in making us feel very welcome and providing a high-end service. In conclusion, our stay was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of outstanding service, luxurious accommodations, and culinary delights made it a truly memorable experience. Without a doubt, I will be recommending this hotel to friends and family, and I look forward to returning for another delightful stay in the future. BR, Denise and Glenn

We loved our stay at Komorebi! From the moment we walked inside, we were greeted by Enrico with a big smile. The rooms are modern clean and spacious, with a luxurious feeling bathroom. We loved the rooftop to relax with ocean views, dinner up there was a highlight. Enrico was a standout , very attentive, super friendly and made us feel right at home. We would recommend to other guests and believe Enrico will continue to thrive as his dream comes alive.

During our stay at Hotel Coastline Mirissa we were completely immersed in luxury and tranquility. This beautiful hotel combines a modern style with the natural beauty of the Sri Lankan coast. From the moment we arrived we felt more than welcome thanks to the friendly and attentive staff. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and offer breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of the waves and a sunrise that colours the sky red and gold was truly magical. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spotlessly clean. The infinity pool is an absolute must-see. Here you can relax with a cocktail in hand while looking out over the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. In addition, the restaurant serves delicious dishes ranging from fresh seafood to local specialities that are carefully prepared. Breakfast is a feast in itself, with a wide selection of fresh fruit, juices and hot dishes. The location is perfect: within walking distance of Mirissa beach and close to various attractions, such as whale watching excursions and beautiful viewpoints. The hotel also offers assistance in planning activities, which made our stay extra special. Hotel Coastline Mirissa is a place where you can not only relax, but also experience the hospitality and beauty of Sri Lanka. We definitely recommend this hotel and hope to come back soon!

What a wonderful place and a great adventure. We love the location, the little house is super clean, no mosquitoes and the best natural swimming pool. The food is amazing and the owners very sweet and helpful. We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed it to the moon and back. Highly recommended. Also the organized guided tours delivered more than we could hope for.

The hotel is located directly at the beach. We stayed at one of the 6 beautifully designed bungalows and woke up with a view on the sea. The rooms are very spacious and clean and the bed is incredibly comfortable. Apart from the modern and minimalist rooms, the staff working at Swell is just great. Everyone is kind and looking after you. Overall there is a very chill and happy vibe.

    Absolutely the Best Way to Explore the Sinharaja Rainforest! This was our favourite place we stayed on Sri Lanka trip. This eco-lodge is hands down the ultimate way to experience the magic of the Sinharaja Rainforest. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear you’re in for something extraordinary. The location is beyond words—completely surrounded by lush rainforests, making you feel truly immersed in nature. It is so peaceful and quite - no noise from roads, traffic etc. The staff made our entire stay seamless and stress-free. They have a convenient car park in the nearby village, where they meet you and transfer you up to the lodge in a 4x4—what a fun start to the adventure! We stayed for two nights (but would have happily stayed a 3rd). The accommodation is spectacular. Large windows on every side of the room allow you to feel like you’re right in the heart of the jungle. Waking up to the incredible sounds of the rainforest was unforgettable, and we even spotted monkeys and exotic birds right in our room! Amazingly, you also get wifi in your room. The staff were outstanding, from the friendly restaurant team to the knowledgeable guides. On arrival, the Duty Manager, Mithun, warmly welcomed us, explained all the details about meal times, and helped us plan treks into the rainforest. They offer a variety of treks and provide you with a guide. They are also pretty flexible, We wanted a longer trek to explore more of the jungle and this wasn't a problem. The trek itself was a dream. We spotted an incredible variety of wildlife, including lizards, snakes, and a stunning array of Sri Lankan birds. The guides were so knowledgeable and enhanced the experience. Overall, this was incredible value for money. Running such a well-maintained eco-lodge in the middle of the rainforest can’t be easy, yet they make it feel effortless. If you’re looking for great value for money and an unforgettable way to explore Sinharaja, this is absolutely it.

    The resort is gorgeous, the garden is beautiful, nicely maintained, with many pools (all with warm water) and also the beach is very nice (no big waves so you can enjoy swimming). Steambath was great in the shower. The staff was very kind and professional, we got a free upgrade upon arrival to the best room of the resort with a great view and a private pool. There was unlimited water supply in the room. Breakfast was amazing, so many choices and very delicious. There is a beautiful view on the ocean from the restaurant and bar.

Fully recommend this hotel if you are planning to go to Sri Lanka south beaches, it has a turtle view point just in the beach of the hotel and it is really close to Hiriketiya beach where you can surf and enjoy the cool vibes of that beach.

    My favorite spot was definitely the beachfront area right in front of Paradise Beach Club – calm waves, golden sand, and perfect sunsets. I also loved Coconut Hill, just a short walk away, with its panoramic view of the ocean and palm trees. Where I Ate- Most of my meals were at the Paradise Beach Club restaurant, which offered delicious Sri Lankan curries, fresh seafood, and good international choices. For variety, Mirissa has some great little cafés and beach shacks nearby – I especially liked the fresh juices and seafood BBQs along the beach. Mum's Kitchen, Big Belly & All you can eat were equally good. Mirissa is very easy to get around. Most places are within walking distance if you’re staying near the beach. For slightly farther spots like Weligama or Galle, tuk-tuks are everywhere and quite affordable. we booked our car for the entire trip. things to do- Whale watching tours Sunset at Coconut Hill Beach hopping Surfing

    Matara, was a good place for me.I stayed at La Polena,for 12 nights.The breakfast was excellent and the lady that made it changed the sheets and cleaned my room twice.I do think that they could give visitors a bottle of water daily.Also a jug to make a cup of tea in each room.Very little money is spend on maintaining the place.Also a sign with numbers for hiring Tuk-Tuk drivers would help.The manager is nice ,but a little slow in offering advice. Island rsetuarant past the Doctors had teh best food.I also needed more veg.So bought carrots,tomatoes and cucumber for myself.Also egg,roll in town. Restaurants at the beach are a rip off.10% added for tax.This is nonsense.Tuk driver from the Railway station to hotel.600 rup The one Hotel to Trainstation 800 the train from Matara.4 -5 hours 600rph.?

    Talalla beach is clean and not crowded like many on the South coast of Sri Lanka. Relax all day under the sun and take a dip in to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Not really a surfing beach but the right hand end in front of Talalla Retreat is safe for swimming. Friendly locals and a small supermarket nearby. Ate at all the local restaurants - they were all excellent, especially Manju Cinnamon Hut.

    Mirissa is a popular tourist destination, and one where tourism income trumps everything else - usually at the expense of the environment. So, if you’re looking for an idyllic escape to a pristine, tropical paradise, you’ll need to lower your expectations quite a bit. Unfortunately, the businesses lining the beachfront have been allowed to attempt to artificially hold back the sea, by building awful sea walls, sandbagging, etc. This has resulted in far less beach than there would naturally be. The other inescapable truth is that it’s quite polluted - mainly with discarded plastics (bottles, drinking straws, bags, etc.) and other rubbish. It really is heartbreaking to see, and it’s everywhere. Picking up a few bags of it everyday on my walks didn’t even make a dent! (This problem isn’t limited to Mirissa, by the way. It’s everywhere in Sri Lanka. Substantial regulatory change and investment in education are needed - now!) As a visitor, do your part and at least set a good example by not discarding your rubbish. On the plus side, the people are very friendly and welcoming, and there are quite a few great places to eat and enjoy a cold drink. I found the better restaurants on the main road rather than the beach. There are also plenty of lovely, small, family-run restaurants throughout the back streets that are worth seeking out.

    Thank you for all your hard work in maintaining such a wonderful place. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality of the staff and management. The property was impeccably clean and tidy, and we can’t wait to return for our next trip.
