All good

I would suggest making the breakfast more varied and offering a larger selection. When staying for six days, having the same limited options every morning becomes a bit uncomfortable. At times, it also felt like there wasn’t quite enough food. A more diverse and plentiful breakfast would make the experience even better.

The shampoo and conditioner didn’t make my hair feel good. I would recommend bringing your own!

⚠️ Think twice before booking — the main problem here is the staff and the way the property is managed, both in the hotel and the restaurant.

If you want a calm, relaxed, and stress-free stay, read this first.

Even simple requests met with attitude, and the overall atmosphere felt unprofessional rather than welcoming.

What made this more concerning was that one of the individuals involved, who we were told is the owner of the business, lives on the property and appeared to allow — and even welcome — this kind of approach rather than resolve situations properly. As he told us himself, “If you saw the negative reviews, why did you come?”

Our stay began with being given a room completely different from what we had booked, with a strange smell, weak AC, and right next to the parking area, where you could not even properly open the curtains because it became see-through. After we raised this, we were told the property was fully booked, yet another room later became available after we had a call with the person managing bookings.

Later in the stay, we were unexpectedly pressured late at night to make a payment despite having been told earlier that payment would be made at checkout.

We booked despite the negative reviews regarding staff, but after this experience it became very easy to understand those reviews — and why the same problems keep happening. If respectful service and a relaxed stay matter to you, I would strongly recommend considering other options in the area.

1. Пришлось 3 раза менять номер - в первом не работал кондей, во втором был плохо слив, после нам дали семейный номер - это было топ!!
2. Завтраки вегетарианские все-таки маловаты да и разнообразия бы чуть больше. Не хватило фруктов на завтрак - просто свежих

Pourquoi pas proposer des rideaux voilages pour laisser place à plus de lumière dans les chambres mais ce n’est qu’une suggestion

Personnel pas agréable du tout, de plus, il n’arrêtait pas de faire peter des pétards et ils ont mis la musique à fond à proximité des bungalows jusqu’à 1h du matin.

The WiFi connection was quite weak and unreliable. The design of the cabins limits privacy, as the main window faces the central path and nearby cabins, making it difficult to open the curtains comfortably. While the staff were friendly, they were not very attentive or proactive.

We also rented a bike from the hotel, but it was old and not functioning properly, which was disappointing. The breakfast menu is quite basic and could use more variety. Additionally, we experienced a significant issue with ants in our room.

The beach nearby is great for surfing, but not ideal for swimming due to rocky conditions. Lastly, the location is about 15 minutes away from Mirissa, which may be inconvenient depending on your plans.

Very arrogant staff.. they are like dacoits
