Hey Lala Talalla ★★★

📍 Karandagoda, Naotunna south, Matara

"This is a very cozy spot that makes you feel like you're living in solitude with nature, right among the rocks. Yes, there's a road nearby, but it absolutely doesn't disturb your rest and relaxation. Everything is clean and tidy, and there's a kitchen, which is very convenient for longer stays. The beach is just a few minutes' walk away. If you're looking for a peaceful place with a nice atmosphere and close proximity to nature – I wholeheartedly recommend it!"

Smeralda Beach Hotel Dikwella ★★★★

📍 Kadawara Watta, Batheegama, Dikwella, Matara

"We ate twice at the restaurant here. Both times they set up a table on the beach. The food and service were very good. As it was the birthday of one of our party they decorated our table and got a special birthday cake for us which was delicious. Prices are slightly higher than average Sri Lankan restaurants but not excessively and the service makes up for this!"

"The room was on the third floor. The waiter was very nice. He helped with the luggage and brought breakfast. It was 1,800 rubles and it was OK. There was a stinky ditch at the door that hindered the view. There were some ants and mosquitoes in the room, but the beach nearby was very good."

Sailors Mirissa Hotels in Matara

"We spent two weeks at this hotel. From February 21 to March 7, 2025. At first we wanted to spend a week, but then we stayed for another week. Before arriving, we called the hotel manager, Mr. Kumara, and asked for an early check-in at 9 a.m. They accommodated us and said that the room would be ready for our arrival and no extra charge would be required. Unfortunately, due to a number of inconsistencies, we were only able to arrive at 6 p.m. To my surprise, Mr. Kumara waited for us, showed us our room and told us about the hotel. The hotel is not large, perfectly clean, has its own courtyard, parking for cars or bikes. All rooms starting from the second floor have access to the balcony. There is a table and a couple of chairs near each room. In the evening, you can sit and admire the sunset. From the upper floors there is a magnificent view of the ocean and the Parrot Rock island located directly opposite the hotel. The room has everything for a comfortable stay. Good beds, a table with a rack and a separate rack for linen and all sorts of small items. A large mirror. A rack with hangers for clothes. In the bedside table there is an individual safe. The room is large, bright. Perfectly white walls. Furniture made of natural wood in the color "wenge". A pleasant contrast. The air conditioner works quietly, there is also a fan. The bathroom has everything you need, a shower, a toilet, a mirror with lighting. Everything is clean, no stains or mold, which we found in other hotels. What is most interesting and pleasant - no insects. No mosquitoes or ants. For Sri Lanka this is a rarity. You can sleep peacefully. There is also a shared kitchen. It has the necessary utensils, several kettles, a refrigerator. Bottled water, as well as a cooler. The location of the hotel itself is just perfect. Literally a couple of minutes walk and you are on the beach, in front of you is the island of Parrot Rock (be sure to climb it. The photos will be magnificent) which seems to divide the bay into two parts. On the right is Mirissa Beach - a large beach with a wide coastline and a wave for surf lovers. There are also many cafes with fresh seafood. In the evening, tables are set out and you can choose any fish, shrimp, lobsters, etc., which will be cooked for you right there. And to the left of Parrot Rock, a small bay, Turtle Beach, is closed from the ocean by reefs, there are practically no waves, even small children can safely swim in it. Surfers ride behind the reefs. Here you can also rent masks and fins, a surfboard. There are instructors who will help you master surfing. Diving, fishing, whale and dolphin watching tours are also available. Nearby is another very beautiful place, Coconut Tree Hill. Here you can take great photos. As for food, there are many cafes and restaurants for every budget near the hotel. Just fifty meters away is the Petti Petti Mirissa restaurant. This place is iconic for Mirissa. The restaurant itself has a pool where you can swim while your ordered dishes are being prepared. I highly recommend it. Well, and also, regarding the hotel, I would like to especially note the hotel manager, Mr. Kumar. He is a very friendly and helpful person. If you have any questions, he will always listen and help you solve them. Before leaving, I asked about the possibility of staying at the hotel until the evening, since our flight was at night. Not only did Mr. Kumar allow us to stay in the room, but he did not even charge us extra. He himself oriented us on the time and called a taxi for us at an affordable price for 8 o'clock in the evening. In addition to him, the administrator Kushan is always at the hotel. A cheerful, good-natured guy. He will solve any question about your stay. Do you need cleaning, a change of linen, towels or anything else. Feel free to contact him. In addition, he speaks good English. You can just chat or ask about the sights. I really liked staying at the hotel. It's a pity that it was only two weeks. Next year I will definitely come back here. Mr. Kumar, Kushan, thank you."

Central Beach Inn Hotels in Matara

Central Beach Inn

"The hotel is right on the beach and was very clean. We stayed for two days, and the front desk told us there was no routine cleaning, but it wasn't important. There's a hotel dining area on the beach, and the hotel restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is open to the public; there weren't too many tourists. It's very convenient to get to the pier for whale watching; it's about a 10-minute walk. We hired a car for an island tour, so the driver took us there in the morning, and it only took about 2 minutes. It rained heavily every afternoon during our stay, and enjoying afternoon tea in the restaurant while watching the rain on the beach and sipping drinks was very pleasant. The beach restaurant has seafood, offering a fairly international selection of food, as well as local dishes, all of which were delicious. There were many Europeans and Americans there."

"As the first person to write a review, I'll say right away: I absolutely recommend staying here! This hotel is wonderful in every way, from the service to the secluded atmosphere. The breakfasts are excellent – even with just one main menu, there's still a good selection. I was surprised by how well-stocked the room was: I'm not talking about the mini-bar and drinking water, but the bathroom, which has absolutely everything you need, including perfumed toiletries. The conditioner, shampoo, body lotion, and scrub are all fantastic quality. The room is incredibly spacious, and the shower is wonderful. It matches the photos and description 100%. I want to thank the staff for their hospitality, the manager and owner for their smiles and morning chats, and the chef for the excellent cuisine and for helping with a special personal request. It's very close to the coastline, with restaurants, beach clubs, and shops nearby. It was my first time in Sri Lanka, and I have to say, in some ways, I liked this hotel even more than the island itself. Rating: 10/10. I will definitely be back!"

Triple O Six ★★★★
"I had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. The property was spotless throughout, with excellent amenities and a beautiful pool that I really enjoyed. I stayed in the Sugar Suite, which was beautifully designed and incredibly spacious. It featured a luxurious Jacuzzi tub, comfortable sofas, and a dedicated wardrobe area that made the room feel even more organised and relaxing. The highlight was the stunning view from the window - overlooking Coconut Tree Hill, which made the stay feel even more special. The location is perfect - right in the heart of Mirissa and just a short, easy walk to Coconut Tree Hill. There are plenty of great food options nearby, which made everything so convenient. The housekeeping team were lovely and kept the room immaculate, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They spoke very good English, which made communication easy and stress-free. Overall, I was extremely happy with the experience and would definitely stay here again."

DCanal House ★★★
"This homestay is really beautiful. Although it is deep in the alley, the arrangement is very considerate. The front desk can help call a tuk-tuk to go to restaurants near the beach. The whole hotel is right by the canal, with different birds and wild peacocks visiting on the balcony. The facilities and equipment are also new. The only drawback is that it is very close to the canal. If it rains at night, the rain is really loud... and there will be small insects visiting the room. But the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It is a very good accommodation experience."

"Beautiful hotel right next to the sea! The rooms are very comfortable and staff very friendly. Also the breakfast was very tasty with beautiful views over the waves. I made a booking on the wrong date and the hotel staff was so friendly to correct it to the correct date without charging a cancellation/modification fee, that is an extremely nice gesture."
