Fijne accommodatie met een vriendelijk eigenaar, een mooi zwembad en een toplocatie vlak bij het strand.
Pros:

De eigenaar was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam en sprak zelfs een paar woordjes Nederlands. Het strand ligt op korte afstand en het zwembad was schoon, goed onderhouden en net gerenoveerd. Ook de badkamer was mooi. We mochten eerder inchecken en na het uitchecken nog gebruikmaken van het zwembad en de douche. Dat was ontzettend fijn!

Cons:

De schoonmaak van de badkamer had iets beter gekund.

Great location, close to everything but quiet
Pros:

Friendly & helpful owners, clean room, newly renovated bathroom.
We were able to check in early.
The breakfast was beautiful, we were served a lot more food than we could eat!
The pool is lovely and clean. Everything you need is there and a short walk to the beach & shops. We would stay here again!

Pros:

Tout ! Et surtout Sahan qui est vraiment une âme bienveillante et toujours un petit mot pour faire rire ou sourire. On ne va jamais l’oublier c’est sûr !
L’emplacement de l’hôtel est idéal car pas très loin de la mer et des centres d’intérêts. Mais tout en restant au calme. Le petit déjeuner est super ! Vraiment il n’y a rien à redire. Allez-y les yeux fermés

Cons:

Rien

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.
Ja

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.
