The hotel is in a great location, right by the sea. You can see surfers and swim directly in the sea. The swimming pool in the backyard is also very large, but the facilities are relatively old and the staff speak loudly in the corridor.

The hotel is in a good location, the room is spacious, and fruits are provided. The price of dinner in the restaurant is medium. Unfortunately, it comes with a 10-minute massage per person, but there is only one masseur. This needs to be improved because it rained heavily on the day we arrived and the outdoor swimming pool was unavailable.

The environment is first-class, it is a good place for a vacation, and the staff are very friendly and enthusiastic! We used the taxi app Pick Me to take a taxi in Galle, and then took the bus to Mirissa. In fact, as long as it is not the rush hour, the conditions of their buses are passable. Much cleaner than India, maybe there will be surprises

Insight Resorts is located by the beach with conditions attracting many surfers. It is easy to make a day trip to Galle by train or bus. Restaurant staff made every effort to make guests feel welcome. Nice dinner arrangements were made on Valentine’s Day.

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We received a cold cleansing towel and a glass of juice on arrival. The reception was very pleasant.  We arrived too early to check in but was allowed to use the pool and / or beach. Our room was ready for us 2 hours early, so we were able to check in. The pool area is pleasant with plenty of sun loungers. The pool was very clean. There is a private beach area, which is used as a volleyball pitch. In my opinion, it would lend itself much better to additional sun lounging area. In the time we stayed, there was no volleyball played, and in fact, the net wasn't even up, so it was wasted space, which was unusable due to the lack of shade. The room was pleasant enough. We had a ground floor room with access to a small private seating area. We could also access the beach and pool from leaving our terrace except it was not possible to lock the door from the outside. It would have been useful if the key worked on both doors. The room was adequately clean and water, tea and coffee supplied free of charge. There was a mini bar available at extra cost. The grounds are kept very tidy and there was plenty of staff around to help with anything you needed. The breakfast is plentiful and a good selection. We were staying over Independence Day and the hotel was putting on a show of ceremonial dance and music, together with traditional Sri Lanka food (buffet style), for additional  cost. We booked a table. On seating at our table the drinks menu was offered but we were told that no alcohol was being served in observation of Independence Day. To have no alcohol was not a problem,  however it would have been good to know that this was the case. The food and selection was good. Sadly the layout of the event hadn't been executed to the best ability.  The act was performed around the pool area, where there was one large table (I later found out that this table was exclusively hotel corporates) all other tables were set up on the private beach/volleyball pitch and couldn't see most of the performance as there were palm trees between the performance and the tables. Also the act seemed to perform for the one and only table set up at the pool area. The performance was mildly entertaining at best. A bonfire had been lit on the beach, and whilst impressive at first, we all then became consumed in smoke and the fire had to be put out. With all that in mind, we wouldn't have booked the dinner. There is a long list of 'don't's, which I understand but feels very no, no, no, no. It would be received kindly to read "we would ask guests to refrain from; " With all that said, the room was clean,  the beds comfortable and the general vibe and atmosphere at the hotel was very friendly. The hotel is in walkable distance of a number of restaurants and convenience shops. A special mention for Melvin,  the Hotel coordinator and our two main Servers;  Sujith and Isuru, who were never far away to help us.  Melvin was extremely helpful and pleasant to c

I am hesitant to give this place a 3/5 rating because I enjoyed most aspects of my stay; however, I cannot overlook a couple of significant issues. I stayed at the Insight during the first week of February for two nights. My room was 509, a Deluxe Sea View Room With Balcony. Here is a summary of my experience: Positives ✅ Location – The resort is centrally located, with many good restaurants and beachside cafes within 500 meters. ✅ The Room – The room was very spacious, with a comfortable bed and a great bathroom with an overhead shower. It was equipped with a decent-sized wardrobe, a water kettle, and clean towels. There was a mini bar which I did not use, as well as chairs and a table for room dining. ✅ View from Room – This was a sea-facing room with a balcony, offering a partial view of the sea. As the resort is on the beach, the sound of the ocean could be heard from the balcony all night long, and surfers could be seen early in the morning. ✅ Additional Amenities – The Wi-Fi was mostly reliable, though patchy at times. The TV was functional and offered 3-4 free channels. ✅ Room Service – We ordered dinner both nights and the food was quite good. We ordered Biryani, fried rice, and spring rolls. ✅ The Pool and Beach access – The swimming pool was in great condition, and we used the kids' pool as well. Clean towels were readily available. The beach is right next to the resort, making it convenient to visit at any time. There are showers available to rinse off after returning from the beach. Negatives - There is no elevator, which was unexpected in a resort of this caliber. This was a major inconvenience for us due to our toddler, who wants to jump out of our arms whenever he sees stairs. It should be noted that the building has only two floors, which may not be an issue for everyone, but it was for me. I missed out on several beach visits because of the stairs. We asked for a different room on the first floor, but none were available. - There were ants in our room, which we discovered after leaving a couple of strawberries on the table. Could Be Better - Dinner service (both restaurant and room service) stops at 9:30 PM, which is a little too early for my liking, as I am accustomed to having dinner later on vacation. - The breakfast was great and had many options, but the vegetarian options were limited. As we eat eggs, this was not a major issue for us, but those who are strictly vegetarian may be disappointed. Final Verdict Overall, it was a great stay despite some issues.

We stayed here for 2 days & loved every minute spend in this property. Although it's a 3 star property, but over powers many 4 stars as well. Mgr Melvin was very cooperative. He had a YES for everything we said. He arranged a candle night dinner for us on the occasion of our anniversary and it was beautifully decorated on the beach side (photos attached). Chef Iran went out of his way & arranged Indian cuisine for us. It was yummilicious and amazing service done by Shehan and Isuru. He even arranged a bonfire for us. Overall it was a superb experience. All hail to the Manager Melvin and the entire hotel staff. Would definitely recommend everyone going to Mirissa to stay at this property.
