Pros:

Poor condition of property and overpriced. Location close to beach is only good thing about the property. Service average. Do not recommend.

It is not for stay.... only the sea view is good.
Pros:

only location is awesome.

Cons:

other than location and sea view.....this hotel is not worthy. Their breakfast menu is also very very limited.

Disappointing
Pros:

The location is perfect at the far end of Mirissa near coconut hill with fabulous views of the sea with turtles swimming just off shore and a view in the other direction of parrot rock. The staff in the restaurant were lovely and the food was great

Cons:

There was no water in the bathroom at all for the second night and they didn’t think it was a problem to have no flushing toilet or tap water or shower. After raising the issue they didn’t know what to do and we said we could change room and even though there were available rooms on this site they didn’t want to move our room so I said I wanted to cancel after walking into the hotel next door to make sure we could get a room. I was refunded the second night after much pressure from me. 2 hours wasted which put a huge dampener on our 2 night stop in Mirissa.

There were ants all in the bathroom and we found a cockroach in our coffee cup.

Mirissa Seastar provided the backdrop to a truly beautiful location and amazing people
Pros:

The breakfast was outstanding - sets you up for the day. The staff were exceptional and always willing to go the extra mile. No issue was too big. 'Bhabbi' was an absolute legend, always cool and ready to offer fantastic local advice.

Cons:

nothing

Worst booking in Sri lanka
Pros:

The location is nice

Cons:

The staff were very rude. The AC wasn't working and it hardly managed to cool the room. Yet the staff refused to claim responsibility for it. The wifi didn't work for the entire duration of the stay. When informed about this to the staff, the manager was rude and impolite. Food also was pathetic.

Seastar Mirissa the best spot to see sunset
Pros:

Amazing place, the best Mirissa spot to see sunsets. A little steps from coconut tree hill, and parrot island.Food so so delicious, plenty choices, freshly made, not expensive. We really enjoyed so much. The staff very friendly, the owner very responsible.

Best restaurant in the town :)
Pros:

Fantastic restaurant with a stunning view, hammock, swing, very friendly staff and very good food. The best of the best pancakes in the whole Sri Lanka 🥞 😀 🤤 You can enjoy view on Coconut Tree Hill directly from the table. I really recommend this place 👌 ❤️

Pros:

Achtung ⚠⚠ Wer seinen Urlaub nicht ruinieren möchte, sollte die Finger davon lassen.
1. Manager komplett respektlos und desinteressiert gegenüber seinen Kunden. Wurden bei Ankunft überhaupt nicht beachtet. Sind zum Tisch gegangen und er hat rum telefoniert, als er nach einer Ewigkeit aufgelegt hat und wir ihm gegrüßt haben, keine Reaktion. Einfach ein neues Telefonat gestartet. Wir haben den Ausweis auf den Tisch gelegt und dies hat ihn überhaupt nicht interessiert. Nach 10 min hat er dann genervt unseren check in vollzogen.

2. Zimmer sind verschimmelt. Man sieht es nur leicht an den Wänden, da drüber gestrichen wurde aber der Gestank von schimmel macht eine Übernachtung unmöglich.

3. Bett war dreckig, sodass wir uns nicht mal hinsetzen wollten.

4. Keine Einsicht. Dass hotel konnten wir nicht kostenfrei verlassen und es wurde eher eine aggressive Stimmung aufgebaut.

Fazit: Wir sind nach 5 min gegangen und haben uns ein anderes hotel am Strand gesucht, lieber doppelt zahlen als hier eine weitere Minute zu verbringen. Hotels.com wird Ihnen übrigens überhaupt nicht helfen können. Komplett nutzlose Verein (Gold Kunde) Sie werden komplett alleine gelassen.

Great location, crappy attitude.
Pros:

First the good stuff. The hotel is located at the end of Mirissa beach for away from the crowds. The seaside rooms had a fantastic view out over the bay and Coconut Hill is adjacent to the property. Breakfast was very good.
Now the bad. The owner/ receptionist was indifferent to our arrival. He frankly didn't give a crap that we were there. Everywhere we have gone we have had a quick welcome drink even extended to our wonderful driver. Here he was ignored and not even offered one. This speaks volumes about the kind of attitude from the management of this hotel. WiFi was hit and miss and although there was a remote control for the television there was no TV in the room.

Pros:

Room was dirty and sparsely furnished. Balcony door won’t open without pulling out your back; no daily cleaning (you have to ask); no shampoo. Towels (1 per person for room and beach) stained and threadbare. Management is letting the place fall apart. It’s at best a two star hotel, soon to be one. It’s a shame, the view and location are fantastic. The staff work hard (15 hour days) and try their best while management/owners simply don’t know, or maybe don’t care how to run a decent hotel.

Nice hotel, incredible view, friendly staff
Pros:

We really enjoyed the night we stayed here. The view from the balcony was fantastic. The room was comfortable and spacious and we slept well. It was a bit old and rough around the edges, and the price was a bit high, but we spent 2 weeks around Sri Lanka and that was more or less par for the course -- Seastar was well worth it for the beautiful view and direct access to the beach. Desk staff were always more than helpful and made the stay really easy and enjoyable.

Great hotel with view of Coconut hill!
Pros:

We had a really great stay! Our room had a big balcony with sun and a beautiful ocean view. The room was spacious and the bed was also really big. On top of that we where treated with excellent service by Dilan our waiter, and general go to guy, at the hotel. He became our buddy while staying there, and his service minded attitude and sporadic singing made the atmosphere homey and welcoming :) He also arranged super surfing lessons for us, by Mirissa’s top surfer! All in all, would absolutely stay again!

Great view from the balcony but ...
Pros:

We just spent 3 nights in this hotel. Had a room with balcony on the second floor and this is really what we were paying for. Nothing else deserves 3 stars.
The room itself was big enough but the fridge was dirty (mould growing in it) and I had to ask for the room to be serviced (yet paying USD 55 a night), the bidet spray was broken and the shower set up very high and had low pressure. Tv did not work either. No wifi.
The view was however fantastic.
We had good breakfasts there and a mediocre lunch.
The manager was very friendly and attentive, and when he was around we could always rely on him for advice or just service. There was also a friendly lady who did the cleaning and who always had a smile for you. The rest of the staff were unfriendly and not helpful. You always felt that you were imposing on them.
There was in fact a rather unpleasant atmosphere downstairs, which was the only place where the wifi worked.

Overall I don't think I would stay there again.
