Cozy Sea View Inn
4.2/59 Reviews
Since our planned accommodation was out of the question at short notice, we found the Cozy Sea View Inn via ************ and had our tuk tuk driver drop us off there. We received a warm welcome and were able to choose one after viewing two rooms. We chose one on the ground floor with a small terrace. The room was very spacious, clean, well equipped and smelled very good. There was a fitness studio right next to our room, which can be used by hotel guests. We didn't take advantage of this, but we still thought it was a great opportunity. The manager Rajesh was very friendly and helpful. When he found out that we wanted to travel further to Unawatuna, he offered to take us with him since one of his drivers had to go that direction anyway. The location of the hotel, on a side street off the main street, was also ideal for us. The beach was within a few minutes' walk, as was a huge selection of restaurants and other shopping opportunities. We were really happy about our spontaneous stroke of luck and would love to come back.
Cinnamon Wild Yala
4.5/550 Reviews
The environment is really great. It feels like living in a primitive forest. There are small animals everywhere. I saw crocodiles on the path to the hotel. There are also monkeys and wild boars on the way from the lobby to the room. The hotel swimming pool is right next to the lake. The ecology is very good. Superb! The lighting in the room is rather dim, and the beach hut is built relatively high. If you don’t like climbing stairs, you can choose the jungle hut. The price of more than 1,000 is still acceptable.
Green Villa Unawatuna
4.4/58 Reviews
Wonderful place with a lush garden in Unawatuna area in the main tourist road. They let us for an early checkin so we didn’t have to wait in the lobby area. Room was spacious with modern furniture and included a minibar. Air conditioner worked perfectly. Bed was comfy. Bathroom was spacious. Hot water worked perfectly. Modern fixtures too. Green villa was close to all the main attractions. Highly recommended for a calm, quiet, comfortable stay in Unawatuna area.
Fort Bliss
4.5/559 Reviews
Strategic location Ctrip’s positioning is accurate The breakfast is rich and attentive, and the juice is quite awesome! There is a washing machine and a drying rack. The only drawback is that you have to hurry up to eat the desserts, otherwise they will be crawling with ants.
La Villa
3.7/59 Reviews
My Fiancé and I stayed here for one night and we Loved it. It's run by a lovely Local Couple and has a very home stay Vibe, but still gives you the privacy of a Guesthouse. The terrace is great to work on the Laptop or chill with beautiful view and fast Internet. The Food is much cheaper then at the Beach and Delicious. 10/10 points
Handagedara Resort & Spa
4.3/529 Reviews
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. The gardens are so beautiful and well maintained and the pool is outstanding and suitable for kids and adults. It is located away from the main beach (but not a long walk at all) and is also a great spot to stay if you want to be near Secret Beach (less than 5 mins by tuk-tuk, or walk-able if you can climb the steep hill). It really is a lovely spot to get away from the over-touristy parts of Mirissa and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
Lavender Home Rest
4.7/55 Reviews
Lovely place with an amazing view. The lady who received me was so sweet and nice. They made me dinner and breakfast and it was all delicious. Very clean place and attentive staff. I would recommend! I also loved that they have water dispenser to fill my tumbler so I did not need to buy plastic bottled water. This I really appreciate. No complaints, great place and wish them the best.
Central Beach Inn
3.8/523 Reviews
Central Beach Inn has a bunch of different room types at different price points. We stayed in the deluxe balcony with AC. Overall the room was ok and a decent size. My friend had issues with the bathroom door since it is very short and he is 6’1” (he hit his head several times). The room has a sort of colonial romantic feel with dark wood furniture and a four-poster bed with white mosquito netting. Standard amenities – WiFi, safe, small fridge, overhead fan, mini bar (electric kettle and coffee/tea), and toiletries. The steps to the balcony were very steep with a higher than normal rise and were shared with one other unit. A basin with water was on the landing for the stairs so that you could wash off sand from your feet. A gate was at base of the stairs. Breakfast was not included, and we did not eat at the restaurant. We did not have the room serviced while there by choice, but I think you have to ask if you want it cleaned. Comparison time: We stayed at two places in Mirissa Beach – Central Beach and Dream Palace. The two hotels are back-to-back with Central taking the beachfront and Dream Palace taking the street front. They both have their pros and cons. The rooms were significantly nicer and cleaner at Dream Palace, but I liked mattress better at Central as it was a little less hard. Both places had the same room amenities. You hear the music from the beach nightclubs at Central whereas you get the early morning beeping and bread-tuk tuk music from the street at Dream Palace (although the rear rooms are much quieter). Central is beach front and Dream Palace means that you walk through another hotel, for which the gates may all be locked after 1:00 am (be warned!). You will have to climb stairs at Dream Palace, but you can get a ground level room at Central. The service was significantly better and much more friendly at Dream Palace (family run) compared to the more business feel of Central. Central has a full restaurant and Dream Palace does not. The WiFi was somewhat stronger at Central and allowed for internet phone calls. Dream Palace is more budget friendly since it is not beachfront. As for Mirissa Beach itself, the beach is beautiful! The waves are very large and consistently frequent which means they may not be good for children or those who do not like to get batted around by waves. However, there is an area at the end of the beach by Parrot Rock with very gentle small waves that is good for kids. The beach is very busy all of the time and people come here for the nightlife. At least one restaurant a night turns into a club with a dj (until 3 or 4 am). At one end of the beach, they will put out these lit up frames that kind of look like giant eggbeaters out front of the bar that will be the club that night. They also have live music earlier in the evening at some of the other places. Mirissa Beach is a good central location on the south shore to make quick trips to Weligama (surfing) and Matara (city), and longer trips to Unawatuna
56 by Deco - Galle Fort
4/526 Reviews
This was a beautiful hotel. The location is great because it is inside the Galle Fort. The staff was very friendly and the room was nice. There was air conditioning and a fan. The shower drain was a bit slow which caused the water to overflow a little. We only stayed here one night, but overall a lovely stay. Highly recommend.
SurfBayVilla
4.6/57 Reviews
Long searched for a 2-day accommodation option in Dickwell. Hotels on the first line are quite road. They ended up staying at this guest house and did not regret. Location on the second line from the main beach of Dickwell, from the road a little further down the block. But it is very quiet. At the same time to the beach eight minutes in a rush. To the beach Hirikitia can also get to the beach on foot, but longer - 20 minutes. Very close to the Food City market, market, fruit shops, a few cafes, but the food is the simplest. Next to the beach Hirikitia cafes and restaurants are a lot and on any taste - dinner went there. Very liked the main beach of Dickwella. Waves are, but jumping on the waves is quite safe (only not with small children). The beach is beautiful, the people are small, the coastal strip is wide, 2 beds with umbrella are standing on day 600 rupees. The room is new, large, clean everywhere, there is air conditioning, cabinet, lingerie dryer, very literally is set up with railroads and switches. There are bedside lights (for me this is a big plus). The bathroom is separated by a ribbon, hot water is. Very attentive and caring master Jamila. Always wondered whether everything was okay, whether any help was needed. You can order dinner or dinner at him. The servings are big, delicious. The breakfasts included for the choice are continental or Lancaine. We chose Lancaine. Everything was very enjoyable - delicious and satisfactory. When leaving the hotel, the host called us a fat to another beach at a good price. We can fully recommend this place for accommodation and we will be happy to come back.
