Great vibes off the beach
Pros:

The family room was absolutely stunning and spacious. Such a beautiful vibe. Plenty of seating available outside near the beach. The food was clean and healthy. But being vegan there is a major lack of protein in the selection. Hotel staff were attentive.

Cons:

The WiFi was not working which I find absolutely unacceptable at this room rate. Their system of using WhatsApp to order food to the room was sometimes not responsive and so you may have to walk down to the restaurant to give your order.

Good. The old bathroom and awful bed were issues though. But the staff were delightful
Pros:

Great location, the beach and restaurant part was perfect. Also good WiFi

Cons:

the room itself wasn’t amazing and one of the beds was rock solid. The bathroom was also very outdated and there were ants in there.

Fantastic beach vibes
Pros:

We loved everything about The Slow! The manager Sam was a huge help to us when we had issues with flights, helped with restaurant bookings, whale watching...everything. The rooms and restaurant set up are beautiful on the private beach. I had read the food wasn't good but I have no idea what those reviews were eating as everything we had was gorge!

Cons:

Absolutely nothing - all amazing!

Beautiful smaller hotel with a relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful place with palm trees and right by
Pros:

Beautiful smaller hotel with a relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful place with palm trees and right by the beach. Even though we are not vegans, we were surprised by the very tasty and rich cuisine menu together with the breakfast offer (a la carte menu). Such a small oasis in the very busy area of ​​Mirissa and as a bonus right next to the turtle beach. We can only recommend it, even just for sitting in the beach restaurant without accommodation.

Cons:

There is nothing here that we wouldn't enjoy.

Tolles Boutique Hotel direkt am Strand.
Pros:

Mein Aufenthalt im The Slow Vegan Hotel Mirissa war wirklich etwas Besonderes.

Das Hotel hat eine unglaublich entspannte, ruhige Atmosphäre – perfekt, um abzuschalten und zur Ruhe zu kommen. Die Zimmer sind stilvoll, sauber und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Man merkt sofort, dass hier Wert auf Ästhetik und Wohlfühlfaktor gelegt wird.

Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das freundliche und herzliche Team. Man fühlt sich nicht wie ein Gast, sondern wirklich willkommen. Jeder Wunsch wird mit einem Lächeln erfüllt.

Das vegane Essen ist ein echtes Highlight – frisch, kreativ und einfach unglaublich lecker. Selbst als Nicht-Veganer wird man hier begeistert.

Die Lage ist ebenfalls ideal: ruhig, aber dennoch nah am Strand und an Restaurants.

Ein wunderschöner Ort zum Entspannen. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen.

the ocean just steps away, and its own restaurant — you won’t even want to leave.
Pros:

We stayed in a ground-floor deluxe room, and the ocean was just about 10 meters from our door. It was perfect for a relaxing beachfront vacation.
