Mirissa Hotels with Pools

Close to the big beach, the swimming pool in front of the building, the breakfast and dinner buffet is rich, the reception is good. The room on the first floor had a musty smell, and the room management leader said that it was a good room for the second floor. The manager of the room management department is very good, responsive, and responsible than the front desk leader, the front desk leader will only emphasize that there is no room, it has been booked for several weeks, and no room change!

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. The gardens are so beautiful and well maintained and the pool is outstanding and suitable for kids and adults. It is located away from the main beach (but not a long walk at all) and is also a great spot to stay if you want to be near Secret Beach (less than 5 mins by tuk-tuk, or walk-able if you can climb the steep hill). It really is a lovely spot to get away from the over-touristy parts of Mirissa and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

This hotel is next to the beach of mirissa. The owner is a female Canadian. There are 4 villas in total. The 8 rooms are very modern. There is a large area where you can have tea and coffee. The swimming pool is also very good. It has its own piece. The beach is great. The breakfast in the morning was also delicious and the experience was great.

The hotel is on one side of the road and on the other side of the beach. Sea view rooms are highly recommended. The road rooms are too noisy

It is very close to the beach and you will cross the road. The room is clean and spacious, and the bathroom facilities are convenient and practical. There is a swimming pool in the hotel yard, it is very good to sunbathe and swim. Need to be reminded that all hotels, including the five-star hotels that later lived in Colombo, do not provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, and slippers, so you need to prepare yourself. In the room view, it is very convenient to go swimming, surfing and walking at the beach. It’s great to climb the rocks in the evening to watch the sunset, watch the waves, watch the sorghum fisherman fishing, and watch the surf! Walking on the beach, many home stalls, lit candles, music is very romantic, and the price is not high. The hotel room is good, the decoration is basically over, it is estimated that there will be an elevator soon, no need to carry the luggage to climb the building. We booked half-dinner, dinner can be ordered according to the meal, there are local flavors, there are whole grilled fish, the variety of each meal is not the same; the prawns, squid, fish pieces in the seafood rice, I think it is delicious. Breakfast is also good, although the variety is not many, but the taste is good, but also enough to choose. We didn't know if we didn't eat at the hotel for lunch. Book whale watching directly at the hotel, go to Yala National Park for discounts, including hotel pick-up and drop-off, complete the project, much cheaper than some websites. The boss is very enthusiastic. The obvious feeling is that it is not profitable. The WiFi is not good. When you come up, you can call the official online customer service immediately. If you have no results, you can lend your mobile WiFi to us. Our scheduled outings also have special tips and advice. It’s especially early for two consecutive days. It’s three in the morning and six in one day. It’s all packed up for breakfast. It’s not like having a hotel in China that can’t catch up with breakfast, no matter what. At dinner, because a student group in the United States had more guests and more requests, and delayed giving us a dish, I especially expressed my regret and gave it to the local refrigerator. When paying, there are indeed problems with other friends saying that the credit card machine is slow, can't brush the US dollar, can only be converted automatically after the payment of the rupee, if the cash is enough I think they are willing to settle in US dollars, you know. It is very close to the bus station, because it is a pure self-service tour, which is very important to us. There are fruit stalls, resident supermarkets, restaurants (including Chinese restaurants) about five minutes walk. The overall feeling is good, I recommend.

Sometimes, serendipity leads you to unexpected delights, and that's exactly what happened with our stay at Somerset Blue Hotel. Initially, it wasn't our planned destination, but after a booking mishap, Somerset Blue Hotel emerged as an alternative, and what a delightful surprise it turned out to be! From the moment we stepped in, the hotel impressed us with its spacious, well-appointed rooms that were clean and comfortable. The heart of Somerset Blue, however, lies in its staff. The team, especially those at the restaurant and front office, were not just professional but genuinely caring and attentive. Their warmth and helpfulness added a personal touch to our experience, making us feel truly valued and cared for. While the food was satisfactory, what stood out was the level of attentiveness with which it was served. Each meal was a pleasant experience, not just for the flavors but also for the service that accompanied it. Our stay was comfortable in every aspect. The hotel's location is conveniently situated, making it easy to explore the surroundings. The amenities provided were more than sufficient, catering to all our needs and ensuring a hassle-free stay. Additionally, considering the quality, the food was well-priced, adding to the overall value of our stay.

We were lucky to have booked this little hotel for a whole week at the end of our trip. This gave us the chance to enjoy everything. We had a generous room and the pool was long enough to really swim. The kitchen was great! The cook (one of the owners) is native Singhalese and worked in Belgium before, with outstanding results! And don't forget to test the bar, if you are there! The hotel sits right on the beach (sand and rocks). To swim in the Indian Ocean, you should walk a bit, but you might miss peacocks, a mungo, turtles, crabs, fish and the wonderful sound of breaking waves right in front of your room... ;-). Coming to the best part... we were used to very good service on Sri Lanka, but staff and the owners of the villa were really so attentive and friendly as if they knew us for a long time. My wife had her birthday when we were there and we (owners, staff and me) managed for some surprises on that day, including a chorus of all(!) staff. :-) Great place, will return for sure.

We booked this place because we found ads mentionined shared kitchen, but during our stay we have been wondering wether the boss was annoyed by us using it or not. We double checked the info and realised that this service had been removed by the ad that we had read, so there might be a new, different policy about it: check before booking if the kitchen is important for you. Our room was good, the pool is ok, but should be filtered a bit better, the location is a little far from everything and the road to walk is a bit dangerous, so going to the beach, to the supermarket or to the restaurants is not a nice stroll. Internet works very well, but only in the pubblic area not in the room, where the line is absent. The woman who works there is really lovely and kind and the boy of the staff super efficient and helpful.

We arrived at Marissa's Spice House around 3 o'clock and were warmly welcomed by the manager, Ruwan, and his team. Ruwan gave us a tour of the property, which is even more impressive in person than in photos. The lush flora and tiered gardens are stunning, and while there are a few monkeys nearby, they’re not a bother. The lovely pool offers a perfect view of the gardens. That evening, we dined at Ruwan’s recommended local restaurant, Petti Petti, where the food and service were excellent. Tuk-tuks are easily accessible for getting around. The morning’s breakfast is delightful, featuring tea/coffee, fresh fruit, fruit juice, a traditional savoury, toast & condiments and even a piece of chocolate cake, making us reluctant to leave. Thoroughly enjoyed this little gem & I highly recommended it.

Walking to the beach 200 meters, it is convenient to not belong to the first-line sea view. The hotel is newly built, it looks very good in the vicinity, and the breakfast is also rich. I booked two orders separately. The first night showed that I could only live one person. The second night was on the first floor of the pool. I sent an email to the hotel in advance to confirm whether I could live two people. The hotel quickly replied OK. When we arrived at the hotel, the front desk took the initiative to arrange as much as possible not to let us change rooms, and we could always stay in the upstairs room. In the room, I saw the peacock flying on the roof and flying high coconut trees. The small squirrel was also a frequent visitor on the coconut tree.
