From
QatarThis property was absolutely beautiful! Our view from the room was spectacular. Ocean facing and you could also overlook the entire property. Super clean and great amenities as well!
It’s the perfect getaway if you want to just relax and chill. You don’t necessarily have to get out of the hotel. It has everything you need. Spa/Restaurants/Bars/private beach/Shisha/Surf lessons/pool
The hospitality is top notch and you’ll feel so welcomed! ALL the staff are so kind and genuinely very helpful & nice. It was so nice being there. The food was also amazing at the property! Specially the breakfast spread and the bar - Tides
Special shout-out to the F&B manager Mr. Imran. He made sure our food expectations were met and also went the extra mile to arrange lactose free milk for me as I’m lactose intolerant.
The property also has a lot of cafés in its vicinity and Mirissa is just a tuk tuk ride away.
Great stay and definitely a memorable one! Recommend it 10/10.

AustriaOur room (budget double room) was basic but included everything we needed, besides we loved the whole aestetic of this place. The room service was excellent. Everyday when we came back from our morning surf the room was absolutely perfect. Enrico, the owner, is lovely and fun to chat to and gave us helpful tips surrounding the area. With KOMOREBI he truely build a special place where we felt very taken care of. The two cute little kittens were the cherry on top.

ItalyThe property and the surroundings are just amazing, the room is new, clean and the resort has many different amenities enjoyable during the stay. What has made the staying so good was the staff, especially Mr Chandana who took promptly care of us and of any necessities we had. He cooked an amazing dinner, prepared our laundry, found a good massager and offered help and big smiles. Thank you Chandana and The Nine.

United KingdomThe hosts are a wonderful family, super friendly and helpful. They built those beautiful apartments nearby the river allowing visitors to be in the centre of the rainforest. The river is quite loud so one needs to hear that in mind but I personally loved it, such closeness to nature.

South KoreaEverything was beyond my expectations; the staff, the facilities, and the location. The staff Lashitha was the most hospitable, kindest person I met in Sri Lanka. He taught me many things about the country and was eager to help in every possible way. The breakfast was big and high-quality, the room was very spacious and clean. The location is perfect as well. It's close to the beach, a big supermarket and a few local eateries are nearby. I had stayed at another hotel before Mzion, and this hotel changed my experience in Weligama.

United Arab EmiratesI had a fantastic stay here! The room was amazing and the staff were very accommodating with my late arrival and let me keep my bags there after check out so I could explore. Great location, very close to the beach and lots of lovely restaurants. The room was perfectly clean and I had a great nights sleep, very good AC and fan - I only wish I could have stayed longer.

- From GEL 414.72 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.4Good - What previous guests thought, 19 reviewsThe very quiet Gardens, the lovely breakfasts, beautiful empty beach, lovely pool and courteous attentive staff. We had a gorgeous room with an out door,roll top bath. If you're looking for a quiet beach, this will hit the spot. The waves are strong so probably best for confident swimmers though you won't have to be an Olympian! The main house is also gorgeous with an airy colonial vibe. Evening meals can be taken at the beach restaurant over the road ( not a busy road). The place is gated with a 24hour watch for the security minded. Various swings, hammocks and board games dotted around. Peacocks, bee-eaters, monitor lizards and chipmunks abound. Heard a Coppersmith Barbet but didn't see it. Fruit bats fly over at sunset. Heaven!Guest review byStevenUnited Kingdom

Nothing is too much trouble 🙏 The rooms with balcony overlooking the beach are large enough, clean and bathroom both spacious and modern. Great hot water for a shower and both aircon and fan worked well 👍 The restaurant and bar serve great food and cold drinks to overlook the surf beach behind. Ample lounges and day beds on the beach 🏝. Only a 5 minute stroll along the beach to all the pop up bars and cafes 🏖.Guest review byDarrenAustralia

The Hotel sits on the beach, when you dine in the restaurant you have a lovely view of the sea. The staff were always incredible friendly and helpful. The food was varied and always of a high quality. From this location you can walk along the beach for miles or just watch the surfers ride the ways, there is something amazing captivating about the place.

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 SurfingGuest review bykarIndia - 10.0

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.Guest review byRayNew Zealand - 10.0

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.Guest review byGavinAustralia - 10.0
