Beautiful property set on a peaceful beach. Good if you like a very quiet place away from the busy town. The staff were super friendly, attentive and helpful. There was good sized balcony which caught the sun and had with chairs and a table. Bed was super cosy, room was spotless, cleaned daily, there was a tv, safety box, hair dryer, fridge, water, air con. The bathroom was spotless, walk in rain shower, toiletries. I had booked a garden view which is facing the entrance grounds and roadside. There are also seaview rooms. There is a turn down service in the evenings where they also replace water tea & coffee. Breakfast was delicious. Fruit, pastries and the option of local or western breakfast with tea/coffee. I asked for pancakes on the last day and there were delicious. I was able to see hatchling sea turtles in the hatchery right on the beach. The on duty breakfast staff kindly let me know they were hatching. Amazing!

No fault of the property or staff: Lack of atmosphere. It’s almost eerily quiet. No music anywhere, no one else on the beach, no public restaurant so it’s perhaps a nice place for couples or a family who want total privacy and peace rather than travelers that prefer a more of an atmosphere. The location is not in Mirissa town but is a short tuk tuk drive away. You can hear the ocean and road but it isn’t super loud. You cannot swim in the sea due to the strong current but if you walk down further there is a bay with calmer clear water.

Absolutely gorgeous room. Very accommodating staff. The outlook to the beach is spectacular and the pool area is very nice too. It was very private, being a small hotel with just a few rooms. The breakfast was excellent.

Nothing. We note for other travellers that this is a small hotel with only a few rooms - if you are expecting a commercial hotel with a concierge etc we recommend you stay somewhere else (this is not a complaint from us, however we unfortunately saw some other people at the hotel who seemed to be expecting this property to be the Marriott and were making loud and irrational complaints)

Awesome villa house by the beach, very comfortable and private, gorgeous room with terrace facing the beach, nice breakfast, excellent service.

We asked for a late checkout if possible and the reception manager promised to get back to us the following morning and said that in any case we could have stayed within the premises after check out. The following morning no one contacted us and when asking for an update we were told that the late checkout was not possible (which was absolutely fine) but that we also had to leave the premises after check out time because a big group was coming. We were then brought to a near by hotel instead. Nothing major, but maybe a little improvement in managing expectations.

It was perfect right on the beach in Marissa. The staff was attentive and frankly wonderful. I went for my birthday on a solo trip and they made all the arrangements for me. They help me go while watching they release baby turtles into the ocean. I had a special birthday dinner. They put They brought me a birthday cake and left me a gift in my room. It was just perfect.

There’s nothing I didn’t like about the property. I had my own guesthouse. I had my uncle Kuna the pool was perfect. The food was excellent as I literally have nothing bad to report.

the house is just amazing, very well decorated, large room, lovely swimming pool and located in a beautiful beach. The staff was really helpful even though we could feel a lack of training

few negative points to note: the F&B service is poor. they don’t have kitchen in this property so every order comes from the main property 200m away and it takes too much time the solution is to use the facilities of the main property (Lantern hotel). it is not recommended to swim in the sea as it is dangerous at this place.

Beautiful hotel. So luxurious. Perfect if you are after a quiet,peaceful few days away as there are few people around and you have the beach to yourself. Beachfront and a lovely pool. Breakfast was also good. We stayed for our honeymoon and they had petals on the bed, a nice touch. Staff were very nice.

It's a bit of a distance from the centre but easy to get in by tuk tuk.

As we neared the end of our amazing and packed trip throughout Sri Lanka, we were looking forward to some relaxing time by the beach! Unfortunately soon after we checked in loud chants coming from the nearby temple disrupted the serene atmosphere. The hotel manager Mahen handled the situation remarkably well. He swiftly arranged for a change of room in another property. And he threw In a late check out as well to accommodate our midnight flight back home. We highly recommend the resort for the excellent room, service, food and friendly staff. We will assuredly come back! We really enjoyed the place. Thank you Mahen and his team for the wonderful experience!

No kitchen and average English

This was the most amazing hotel we stayed at! The hotel was a bit quiet as I believe their busy season is during Christmas but Yohan and Danushaka made our stay very very pleasant. They both went above and beyond. Yohan planned a romantic dinner on the beach and it was amazing. We will be coming back for sure! We also had a lovely Balian massage, which was super relaxing. Overall it was a 10/10 stay and a beautiful place to visit.

This is the perfect resort to relax and enjoy the beach. The staff are amazing and we felt so taken care of, especially Yowan! We arrived early morning and our room was ready and conditioned, when we woke up, they were ready to serve us breakfast and when we asked for a room upgrade they did everything in their power to make sure we were happy with our stay. The breakfast is so good and not to miss and the best part is that there's a turtle nursery right next to the hotel so everyday at sunset you can release baby turtles into the ocean which was such an amazing thing to do. Overall, we really enjoyed staying there and the vibes of the hotel, especially that there's always music playing at all times in the reception.

The only thing that I think would need work is the temperature of the pool water, it's hot and not refreshing after you have been laying in the sun.

We had a great stay at the beach house and enjoyed using the facilities both there and at the lantern hotel. The staff were so helpful and gave us the five star treatment. We especially loved one of the staff setting up a romantic meal with us on the beach. It was a lovely touch. And Sampath who was on the house keeping team put some amazing flowers in our room. We also loved the fact they run a turtle conservation project so we got to let the baby turtles free on several occasions. Would highly recommend this accommodation and we had a wonderful stay.
