Paradise Beach Resort & Diving School

Not really 3 Start property

The setting on the beach is beautiful. We were directly on the sea and the bay was great for swimming, The rooms are large and comfortable, The pool is lovely in a warm climate. The food was very tasty and the hospitality was warm and welcoming.

This is a terrible hotel. Lousy rooms. Spiders. AC non functional. Fan not working. Staff attitude is horrendous. Rude ******. The food is yuks. I have never stayed in a worse place. Don't visit even if you are paid to.

This is an excellent value-for-money establishment. What WOWED us immediately upon arrival was how close the beach and the sea was to us! Literally toe-touching distance! We spent two days here and fully enjoyed the sea, the sand and all the Southern Comforts offered to us. Miss Kumari's cooking is beyond excellence and Miss Kavindya and Mr. Nuwan are extremely friendly and helpful hosts. Good Job, Guys! We will be revisiting this lovely hotel in the near future. That's a promise.

To be honest we booked this hotel by mistake. We had been recommended a hotel with a similar name on Mirissa Beach but ended up here. I cannot fault the people there. They are very friendly and kind and will do anything for you. The dinner was good and the breakfast was a feast of delicious fruit plates, eggs and breads. Simple, local food and we enjoyed it. Layan has a tuk tuk and can take you to the main beach for a fair price and if you exchange numbers will pick you up again. The beach is narrow but nice and is good for snorkelling to see the beautiful fish just off the shore. This is a basic hotel, the rooms and linen are clean. Spacious rooms, wet room bathroom, comfortable beds. They must have been affected by the tsunami and doing their best with limited means. My honest review is that the hotel is old and tired and generally could do with total modernisation. Frequent power cuts, limited Wi-Fi, reliance on a noisy generator, the pool needs cleaning, there are TVs in the rooms but you can’t get any channels, glass doors so light from the hallway is always visible. I wish this little hotel well, the staff are kind and I hope one day they can make improvements.
