Ein besonderer Ort
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Meer ist wunderschön und die Stimmung sehr entspannt und erholsam. Das gesamte Personal ist sehr bemüht und freundlich. Das Essen (sowohl Frühstück, das es übrigens den ganzen Tag über gibt, als auch Abendessen) ist ausgezeichnet und für uns als Vegetarier ein Traum. Wir waren bereits zum 2. Mal hier und kommen sicher wieder

Traumlage mit Luft nach oben
Pros:

An einem wunderschönen Strandabschnitt gelegen, die Restauranttische stehen quasi direkt am Strand. Bei schönem Wetter kann man in diesem Abschnitt surfen. Die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet und es gibt ein gutes internationales Frühstück.

Cons:

Mit entsprechendem Management könnte das Hotel sein volles Potenzial entfalten. Auch was Sauberkeit angeht, gibt es Luft nach oben. Wir hatten mehrere riesige Kakerlaken im Zimmer, so in keinem anderen Hotel in SL erlebt.

Pros:

Naprostý ráj, byli jsme mimo sezónu (červenec) pláž sami pro sebe, dokonalé snídaně. Skvělý tichý hotel velmi citlivě a krásně zařízený. Pláž a okolí hotelu vždy čisté a krásné. Nejkrasnější místo v celé Mirisse. Doporučuji úplně všem.

Mooie plek, zeker de moeite waard, maar wel tegen een lagere prijs.
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Prachtige ligging direct aan zee. Heerlijk ontbijt.

Cons:

Prijs kwaliteit is niet helemaal in verhouding. Kamer, en zeker badkamer enigzinds verouderd. Met bijna €250 per nacht echt te duur.

Exceptional location, gorgeous room and view of the ocean
Pros:

We loved this place.
Set off the main road, this is a little sanctuary on a bay around the coast from the busier Mirissa.
This was our last stay after a couple of weeks sightseeing and we were more than happy just hanging out here. The sea is lovely for swimming and snorkelling (we spotted turtles). Surf is also an option here.
It’s an absolutely gorgeous setting. It feels both luxurious and relaxed.
The food is superb, (n.b none of us are vegan) the breakfasts, light bites and evening meals were all delicious. We ate here a lot.
Our accommodation, in the Family Studio, for myself, husband and two daughters (in their early twenties) worked very well.
The second bed is on a mezzanine and felt spacious enough for 4 adults. The decor is beautiful and we had views of the sea from our room and balcony.
The manager and all staff were brilliant and very helpful.

The walk around the bay to Mirissa along the coastal only takes a few minutes and passes by some cute small restaurants and Parrot Rock.

Cons:

Only thing we’d say is that the light on our outside balcony was broken and not fixed during our stay.
Also the blinds at the back of the balcony were broken and overlooking a run down building.
View to front of the sea is spectacular

Einzige Enttäuschung während 3 Wochen Sri Lanka
Pros:

- Grosses, eigentlich schönes Zimmer mit Innen- und Aussenbadezimmer
- Direkter Zugang vom Zimmer zu den Strandliegen
- Wunderschöne Lage direkt am Strand
- Sensationnes Frühstück; ganztags verfügbar
- Bequeme Betten, auch wenn die gesamte Einrichtung ein Makeover vertragen würde.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war im Erdgeschoss direkt neben dem Petti Petti Club. Mit dem punktuellen Lärm hätten wir noch Leben können. Tanzende Clubgäste bei den privaten Hotelliegen; evtl. noch knapp amüsant. Kombiniert mit Kakerlaken und Ameisen im Zimmer, Abfall bei 'unseren' Strandliegen und - für uns am zentralsten - Schimmelgeruch und konkret Stockflecken an der ganzen Badezimmertür sowie der Umgang des Personals mit der Kritik, das Ganze im Verhältnis zum hohen Preis von 270$/Nacht: keine Weiterempfehlung von uns. Schade.

Nice place by the beach in Mirissa
Pros:

Great food, very attentative staff, location right by the beach.

Cons:

The organization was a little messy, while we were the only guests, it seemed as if the staff did not know we were coming.

Pros:

Der Außenbereich ist traumhaft, das Wellenrauschen im Zimmer zu hören war wundervoll.

Cons:

Die Klimaanlage vom Nachbarhotel war leider extrem laut zu hören (Defekt). An die Kakerlaken im Bad mussten wir uns auch gewöhnen. Die

I love this place!
Pros:

The room was literally 6 steps away from the ocean. Get ready to sleep with the sounds of the waves in the ocean!
We had to check-out really early in the morning at 2-3 am, the hotel manager was so kind to offer us a free dinner before our last night as we were not going to have our breakfast the next day. He was such a kind person!
The hotel has its own private beach with sunbeds very cosy and great atmosphere. I am not a vegan at all but I enjoyed everything I ate and drink! Definitely suggest this place!

Cons:

Its not something that I didnt like but just a heads up, the hotel is literally by the ocean covered by many plants,trees so you might see some little or big friends from the nature in the room, dont panic :)
