My family and I had such a wonderful time at Coastline Mirissa. It is a gorgeous hotel, staff are so accommodating, the food is delicious there and the views are amazing. The owners were really lovely too. My children loved seeing the monkeys and feeding the fish everyday and there is a lift up and down to the hotel which makes for a fun adventure for everyone. Would definitely stay here again.

Simply an absolutely FANTASTIC PLACE. This is the best hotel we've stayed at in Sri Lanka. Beautiful place, incredibly peaceful and relaxing. Full credit to the staff here, who are amazing. They are so helpful and always ready to assist whenever needed. The room is very clean, and the staff constantly check if we need anything or if we want the room cleaned. Great breakfast. The hotel is even better than the pictures. Altso the best bed in whole Sri lanka. This place is highly recommended!!❤️

What a lovely place to stay. Only 3 rooms, so it feels very private. The view from the rooms onto the ocean, which is literally a stones throw away, is incredible. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners and staff and have already recommended Belika to a heap of people looking for a peaceful stay in Hiri.

Mandara Resort Mirissa, just remember this name for the best hotel in Mirissa. we have stayed at this hotel for two days. Stepping through the lobby, i was immediately struck by the beautiful beach. very welcoming atmosphere. The staff throughout the hotel were very professional, friendly and extremely helpful. one of waiter Ravindu Sasaranga was the Favorited. They always greeting and smiling to us. The breakfasts and dinner were amazing. The location of the hotel is great. The room was very spacious and well equipped with all essentials and fantastic view. we have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to the tourists who want to go to Southern part of Sri Lanka. Will be back to this place..!!!

We loved our stay at LakRaj! We were there with a 1 year old and the corner, sea view room was perfect for us. The staff was exceptional, helping us out whenever we needed and even watched our baby sometimes while we ate breakfast :) The cleaning crew also did a great job. We actually had to extend our stay one day, since we enjoyed it that much. There’s plenty restaurants within walking distance, and you can even walk to a grocery store that’s about 15 min away. There’s also lots of eager tuk tuk drivers that will happily drive you. Highly recommend going for a swim with giant sea turtles that’s just past Dr. House (also a great venue for food and drinks).

The cubicle style dorm for me was a first, and I loved it. Some people might dislike it, because the chances of striking up a conversation with a stranger is limited. But the little private space is amazing. Beds are comfy. Everything is clean. Coworking space is really good. The included breakfast is INCREDIBLE. The optional yoga sessions on site are a good bonus.

Perfect hotel, perfect location on a cliff above the ocean. The pool is huge. The food is very varied and delicious. The beach below the hotel is good for kids, natural pools form the rocks and sea turtles come there. The entertainment man named Ajantha kept the kids busy with pool games and was very kind.

My favorite spot was definitely the beachfront area right in front of Paradise Beach Club – calm waves, golden sand, and perfect sunsets. I also loved Coconut Hill, just a short walk away, with its panoramic view of the ocean and palm trees. Where I Ate- Most of my meals were at the Paradise Beach Club restaurant, which offered delicious Sri Lankan curries, fresh seafood, and good international choices. For variety, Mirissa has some great little cafés and beach shacks nearby – I especially liked the fresh juices and seafood BBQs along the beach. Mum's Kitchen, Big Belly & All you can eat were equally good. Mirissa is very easy to get around. Most places are within walking distance if you’re staying near the beach. For slightly farther spots like Weligama or Galle, tuk-tuks are everywhere and quite affordable. we booked our car for the entire trip. things to do- Whale watching tours Sunset at Coconut Hill Beach hopping Surfing

Matara, was a good place for me.I stayed at La Polena,for 12 nights.The breakfast was excellent and the lady that made it changed the sheets and cleaned my room twice.I do think that they could give visitors a bottle of water daily.Also a jug to make a cup of tea in each room.Very little money is spend on maintaining the place.Also a sign with numbers for hiring Tuk-Tuk drivers would help.The manager is nice ,but a little slow in offering advice. Island rsetuarant past the Doctors had teh best food.I also needed more veg.So bought carrots,tomatoes and cucumber for myself.Also egg,roll in town. Restaurants at the beach are a rip off.10% added for tax.This is nonsense.Tuk driver from the Railway station to hotel.600 rup The one Hotel to Trainstation 800 the train from Matara.4 -5 hours 600rph.?

Talalla beach is clean and not crowded like many on the South coast of Sri Lanka. Relax all day under the sun and take a dip in to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Not really a surfing beach but the right hand end in front of Talalla Retreat is safe for swimming. Friendly locals and a small supermarket nearby. Ate at all the local restaurants - they were all excellent, especially Manju Cinnamon Hut.

Mirissa is a popular tourist destination, and one where...

Mirissa is a popular tourist destination, and one where tourism income trumps everything else - usually at the expense of the environment. So, if you’re looking for an idyllic escape to a pristine, tropical paradise, you’ll need to lower your expectations quite a bit. Unfortunately, the businesses lining the beachfront have been allowed to attempt to artificially hold back the sea, by building awful sea walls, sandbagging, etc. This has resulted in far less beach than there would naturally be. The other inescapable truth is that it’s quite polluted - mainly with discarded plastics (bottles, drinking straws, bags, etc.) and other rubbish. It really is heartbreaking to see, and it’s everywhere. Picking up a few bags of it everyday on my walks didn’t even make a dent! (This problem isn’t limited to Mirissa, by the way. It’s everywhere in Sri Lanka. Substantial regulatory change and investment in education are needed - now!) As a visitor, do your part and at least set a good example by not discarding your rubbish. On the plus side, the people are very friendly and welcoming, and there are quite a few great places to eat and enjoy a cold drink. I found the better restaurants on the main road rather than the beach. There are also plenty of lovely, small, family-run restaurants throughout the back streets that are worth seeking out.
