Our 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.

During our stay at Hotel Coastline Mirissa we were completely immersed in luxury and tranquility. This beautiful hotel combines a modern style with the natural beauty of the Sri Lankan coast. From the moment we arrived we felt more than welcome thanks to the friendly and attentive staff. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and offer breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of the waves and a sunrise that colours the sky red and gold was truly magical. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spotlessly clean. The infinity pool is an absolute must-see. Here you can relax with a cocktail in hand while looking out over the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. In addition, the restaurant serves delicious dishes ranging from fresh seafood to local specialities that are carefully prepared. Breakfast is a feast in itself, with a wide selection of fresh fruit, juices and hot dishes. The location is perfect: within walking distance of Mirissa beach and close to various attractions, such as whale watching excursions and beautiful viewpoints. The hotel also offers assistance in planning activities, which made our stay extra special. Hotel Coastline Mirissa is a place where you can not only relax, but also experience the hospitality and beauty of Sri Lanka. We definitely recommend this hotel and hope to come back soon!

The staff at the nine are incredible, every single person we met. I wish we had asked for more names, but every single person was AMAZING. So caring and attentive. Myself and my partner Haran, will be back and we will bring our Family and Friends. The location is amazing, the staff amazing, the food amazing. This place deserves the success it will get because everyone works so hard to make it special. We had regular sightings of Monkeys and Peacocks which just made it more special. Well done guys on such an amazing place and for giving us such special memories, see you next year!

What a wonderful place and a great adventure. We love the location, the little house is super clean, no mosquitoes and the best natural swimming pool. The food is amazing and the owners very sweet and helpful. We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed it to the moon and back. Highly recommended. Also the organized guided tours delivered more than we could hope for.

The most beautiful accommodation in Sri Lanka. Large, spacious, extremely clean room with comfortable beds and soft pillows, clean cotton linen. Spacious bathroom, hot water, pressure shower. The breakfast was delicious, every morning they prepared a different dish for us. Fresh fruit, fruit drinks and bottled water at your discretion. Close to the beach and outstanding and the staff was very very kind. And the yard is nicely landscaped, with very well-kept exotic plants. we had a spacious terrace. Bonus, there were the monkeys that every morning came on the fence of the yard or on the roof. They were adorable and not aggressive at all. We were also able to use the washing machine and the property has a large space for drying clothes. This was very important for us. The internet works very very well. I highly recommend this property and would come back anytime.

We loved our stay at LakRaj! We were there with a 1 year old and the corner, sea view room was perfect for us. The staff was exceptional, helping us out whenever we needed and even watched our baby sometimes while we ate breakfast :) The cleaning crew also did a great job. We actually had to extend our stay one day, since we enjoyed it that much. There’s plenty restaurants within walking distance, and you can even walk to a grocery store that’s about 15 min away. There’s also lots of eager tuk tuk drivers that will happily drive you. Highly recommend going for a swim with giant sea turtles that’s just past Dr. House (also a great venue for food and drinks).

WBR was the perfect place to stay. If you are looking to go somewhere and be able to truly relax in a warm and welcoming environment then I would definitely recommend this place. 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. I enjoyed my vacation immensely and would definitely return.

Paradise Beach Club is located in the perfect location in Mirrisa. The room was spacious, the king sized double bed was comfortable. The pool was nice but the water could be clearer. Perfectly located for the beautiful beach. It’s off from the main room so no traffic noise. Contrary to some review. I found the breakfast and dinner to be satisfactory. It’s not gourmet but it’s good enough over my 3 days stay. Overall I would love to come back and would recommend.

Great for 2 days disconnecting, surrounded by nature. The open air cabanas and rooms are amazing, especially the open shower, I saw 2 toucans chilling on my shower. Pool is great and there is plenty of space for sunbathing there when tired of the beach. Option to join a yoga class (morning and evening) or have a treatment at the spa as add-ons. Breakfast was good (mostly sri Lankan curry but some sweet options too)

The location and hotel facilities are amazing. We stayed at the suite and it was the best room we have ever been to, with incredible seaview. Fully recommend this hotel if you are planning to go to Sri Lanka south beaches, it has a turtle view point just in the beach of the hotel and it is really close to Hiriketiya beach where you can surf and enjoy the cool vibes of that beach.

Awesome setting for breakfast looking out on the mountain forest, with kingfishers, giant and small squirrels for company. Sandaru will make your stay as smooth as possible, organising tours with super knowledgeable and experienced guides, such as Hemel, and arranging food to take on a hike and have delicious meals on your return from the forest.

The hotel management are not good to deal with and I would not recommend this place at all. It looks pretty on the outside but full of problems and poor design, unsafe and unhygienic aspects that are a major concern. Hiring hot water shower that has no safety option even when it is not on high hot water setting, it can burn. The deluxe room we were offered has no windows at all and a dingy hole with no natural light or ventilation but advertised as having an outdoor dining room. It is falsely advertised to mislead people an we refused to stay in the room and had a mattress in the sea view room for which they charged us half the room rate when we didn’t even have a ton, just a mattress an they failed to even provide a towel. Their service is horrendous - stay away from this place and don’t be misled by the pretty photos like we’re. Even beach there not safe to swim and too far from Mirissa main beach so there is really nothing going for this place except the superficial looks.

Matara isn't a big town so it is relatively quick to get from A to B. The beach is beautiful. But there aren't that many restaurants in in the town. The Matara Rest House near the fort had good food and drinks and is one of the most worth it dining options nearby. Lemon is also a good option. There are restaurants closer to the touristy spots but those are on the pricier side. snorkeling with turtles is popular in Matara.

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.

The beach is attractive with palm trees and beach bars, however it is very narrow and at high tide there is very little sand available for relaxing. The waves are quite ferocious at times even though the weather was calm and only the strongest and most confident swimmers were able to swim past the breakers and surf, also beware of the jet ski which operates from the area where you access the beach from the hotel, this was an additional menace.
