Nice small hotel close to the beach, town and bars etc. Nice pool and bar area and food is good (we had to pay extra for breakfast). Ideal for a short break, the hotel arranged turtle swimming for us and can organise many other trips, also Spa on site. We had travelled from Tissa and first impressions here was that Marissa was very touristy and the route to the “secret beach” is a rubbish strewn dirt track, however once we settled in, we enjoyed the area.

Handagedara Stay

Lovely hotel with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Located a few minutes from the beach and lots of lovely restaurants. Rooms are a great size. Only negative was a very noisy peacock living close by, but we had ear plugs so it didn't disrupt our stay. Great breakfast with lots to choose from.

Lovely smallish place with helpful staff

This colonial house hotel is in a great location - far enough from the noise of the beach but close enough to the action. The room was clean and had everything we needed, same for the rest of the hotel. All the rooms look onto the central pool which serves as a focal point to relax around whilst you're there.

Gorgeous and perfect location

What a wonderful little hotel. Lovely cosy and comfortable rooms with a great pool and nice restaurant for a good breakfast to start your day. 2 minutes walk one way the amazing Mirissa beach with great bars and restaurants. 3 minutes the other way and your at the harbour for the must do whale watching. We were made to feel so welcome from the start and all the staff were so helpful and friendly. And all this for such an amazing price. I really could not fault this lovely boutique hotel.

Very good base for a stay just off the beach.

Not on the beach, but probably quieter because of that. Probably needed slightly better guidance about getting to the beach! Room and pool were great. Making up of room between our two nights was a little delayed, but we were allowed into it straight away on first arrival, despite being early. Good information on arrival. Bit odd that evening meals were not available as advised - supposedly just needed an hour's warning, but kitchen was closed by 1800 hrs on first night! Actually did us a favour because it was much more atmospheric to eat at one of the many beach restaurants. The fresh fish chosen there was delicious and easily enough for two people! Taxi on to Galle was a significantly higher price than quoted elsewhere. WiFi didn't work in the area of the rooms, but did work in reception area.

Great choice for couples!

Breakfast was AMAZING! This was one of our favourite accommodations during our 11-day trip in Sri Lanka. It’s out of the very touristy area in Mirissa, which was perfect for us (still within walking distance). Very nice facilities, except for the toilet which was a bit damp, but not a major issue for us. We would definitely stay again.

Nice Property but Fabulous is an Overstatement

The standard rooms are pretty tired, no in-room safe, no wifi connection; showers not well designed and will wet the toilet. The deluxe rooms were much newer but smaller; toilet was also small. Breakfast was included and pretty decent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is very near the beach.

Close to beach and harbour.

The hotel is adequate and comfortable. Location is key, with short stroll to beach. Best place to eat lunch and dinner is zephyr on the beach. We only really used the hotel to sleep and spent the whole time on Mirissa beach. Other families were making use of the pool and loungers which seemed perfectly OK.
