Pros:

Localisation / eau chaude / petit déjeuner / personnel agréable et flexible

Cons:

L’eau de la piscine est forte et pique sur le corps / Paiement sur booking qu’il annule après donc il faut « payer » deux fois ( le seul établissement du Sri Lanka que l’on a fait en 15 jours comme ça )

Pros:

Ein nettes mit Liebe geführtes kleines Familienhotel. Bitte erwartet keinen Hotelstandard einer Kette, eher ein Homestay mit einem wunderschönen kleinen Pool. Die Gastgeber sind außergewöhnlich nett. Wir bekamen in der Nebensaison ein Upgrade auf ein Familienzimmer in der ersten Etage. Das Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig und es kann sogar nachgeordert werden..

Cons:

Der Pool.hatte leider extrem viel Chlor und wir beide damit Hautprobleme, darum haben wir den Pool nicht genutzt wie gewollt.
Und die Zimmer riechen wie oft in Sri Lanka aufgrund der Feuchtigkeit etwas muffelig und haben auch Probleme mit Schimmel im Bad.

Fabulous stay in Mirissa!!
Pros:

Fantastic stay in Mirissa!

We had a wonderful stay in a spacious, comfortable room, and the swimming pool was absolutely lovely. The breakfast was delicious, with fresh fruit and pancakes served by such kind and friendly people.

The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach, beautiful waves, and great restaurants.

Thanks to the owner, we even had the unforgettable opportunity to swim with turtles. It was one of the best memories of our trip!

We highly recommend this place 100% and would love to come back.

Un séjour idéal
Pros:

Formidable hôtel pour séjourner. Extrêmement bien situé, la plage a 3 minutes à pieds, le lac aussi et pleins de bon restaurants et de cafés autour. Les chambres sont propres, confortables et très calme car en retrait de la route. Le petit déjeuner est formidable et très complet avec plein de fruits frais. La piscine est un vrai plus ! On m’a aidé à réserver toutes mes activités : cours de surfs, observation des baleines et snorkelling avec les tortues. Merci beaucoup ! Il s’agit d’une affaire familiale très bien gérée !
