The staff were really kind and helpful! The breakfast was good and they even made breakfast for us really late on the last day as we got back close to 11:30am after whale watching. The rooms were clean and the a/c worked well.
Fair room, fabulous breakfast, and absolutely amazing staff!! They helped with everything, upgraded our rooms for free, let us check out 2 hours later, and let us stay in the hotel lobby a few more hours till we got our taxi.
Room was clean and Huge. But there needs the following improvements. Shower has not pressure, just a mere trickle and the bathroom needs a fan as towels don't dry in the humidity of the bathroom.
The staff were so helpful. Nothing too much trouble, even let us have breakfast after our whale watching trip.
Lovely breakfast

Great location. Great staff.
Great location, excellent service and very friendly and serviceminded staff.
Hotel Vacanza is not a luxury Hotel by European standards, but it's nice and clean, have OK shower facilities, spacy rooms and comfortable beds.
The staff is great and very helpful - also in organising safaris, taxi pick ups etc.
Breakfast is very good.
Location is great - literally 1 minute walk and you are on the central part of Mirissa Beach.
Found last Minute after the hotel I booked didn’t have ac. Room was large as was bathroom. Was offered snorkel equipment and beach towels as well as bottled water and a kettle. Was able to dry wet clothes outside room in a sort of porch. Close to beach and places to eat/drink
Property was not great. But the staff were absolutely fantastic!!! They were most helpful and outstanding. It is not their fault the property is the way it is. It was cleaned to the best possible but fixtures and furniture need major upgrading.

They overbooked and put me in hotel beside called wood lodge next door so what im reviewing is wood lodge.
Bed was comfortable, ac and hot shower were nice. = No tv, no fridge, light above did not work and alot of ants (not sure if thats just marissa)....and a dog waa barking all night (but maybe it was just that night).
I decided to skip my second night and stayed at Galle. Might of done that regardless...

The photos on the website were deceiving …the bathroom was quite old and there were ants everywhere, even though the staff were great and they did come and clean whenever we asked. I think we just got one of the bad rooms as judging from reviews, other people didn’t have an issue. The furniture inside the room is very old and dated but bed was ok comfort and AC worked very well. The staff were really nice but hotel probably needs to be updated. It was fair for the price though
Overrated on hotels.com
I would expact that on portals like hotels.com such offers are taken out.
Not worth the money.

Struttura un po’ datata con una necessità di una profonda ristrutturazione . Personale gentile e disponibile, colazione decorosa ma non eccellente . Comoda alla spiaggia 50 metri.
Noi eravamo al terzo piano senza ascensore con le valige era un problema . Comunque stanza molto spaziosa con un grande terrazzo . Per finire buon rapporto qualità prezzo .

Немного не совпало с ожиданиями, которые сформировались по отзывам. В целом хорошо и может даже отлично кроме чистоты и внешнего вида номера. При въезде дали приветственные напитки, в номере не было затемняющих штор как числится (окна выходят на сторону где ходят люди, всю ночь мелькают тени и слышны шаги), отсутствовал чайник ,но принесли сразу как только указали на это, есть стол но нет стульев (это наверное постоянная проблема в отелях Шри-Ланки,есть,пить чай не удобно), есть горячая вода и хороший напор, номер просторный ,ванна просто огромная, бесплатный чай /кофе и бутылированная вода, неудобства с временем завтраков (8.30-11.00) и выезд не в полдень как числится, а в 11.00. Часов в 9 вечера мы сообщили им о раннем выезде (в 5.30) - нам без проблем организовали ланч боксы, очень не плохие (номер был с завтраком). В целом рекомендем,так как цена качество соответствует.
Nice hotel, the best service when we forgot our charger to the phone they helped us with a tuk-tur driver who delivered it in Bentota. Nice room with a huge balcony nice view from the top floor. Near the beach but away from the main road.
A very nice hotell with okay prices. The service is good, and the management always try to do the best to please you.
Okay WiFi At the hotell and in the room. Good air con and fan, seperate bathroom.
The breakfast is prima, and The food is vary safe to eat.
All in all I was very satisfied with my stay at this hotel.
Auttavaisia ja ihania ihmisiä jotka pitävät pientä hotellia rannan lähettyvillä. Sopivan matkan päässä päätiestä joten meteli ei kuulu hotelille. Etittäin siistiä. Suosittelen🤗

Lovely place, very friendly.
Stayed here a couple days and really don’t have anything to complain about. Stayed an extra night as was just what we needed, chilled. Lovely place with very friendly staff. We had the room on the top floor which had partially views of the beach and sea. The room was very spacious with a big super king and single bed, both 4 posted. The place is not luxurious but it is very nice. Situated 300m from the beach where there are a number of bar & restaurants on the beach. You get a lot for your money and the staff are happy to help with anything you need.
Good clean room and friendly staff. Good location for the beach and only a 5 minute tuk tuk ride for the whale watching.
We didnt have the breakfast so can't comment but other people were having it and looked good. The staff kept offering to top up the tea, coffee and toast. The staff were very helpful in orgaising our transport onto Galle. Would stay again if in the area.
Nice family hotel, big family room, nice breakfast. Good cleaning!
Short walk to beach and restaurants!
Lot of noice (dogs barking, tuk tuk) starting from 5:30 am until 23:00 pm, so no good sleeping! :(
