Sky Garden Mini Hotel
4.1/512 Reviews
We really enjoyed our stay in the Sky Garden Mini Hotel. The room was very comfortable, clean and quiet and great to relax in. There is also a spacious private balcony overlooking a courtyard and palm trees, as well as AC. The hotel is a stone's throw from the beach and restaurants. The owner was very friendly but discreet and breakfast was simple but tasty - a Sri Lankan omelette (or however you wanted your eggs), as well as fresh fruit and toast. The rooms are exactly as pictured, although more modern showers have since been installed. Overall this is a great choice if you're looking for somewhere cheap as a base in Mirissa.
ARA Beach Resort Mirissa
4/53 Reviews
I enjoyed my time at Ara Beach Resort, thanks to its excellent location and the fabulous pool. The staff were friendly and added to the resort's pleasant atmosphere. However, I'd suggest a little more focus on cleaning and keeping the buffet breakfast items hot. The food was delicious but consistently served cold. With these small changes, Ara Beach Resort could be even more wonderful.
Hotel Paradiso
3.5/52 Reviews
This may not be a five-star hotel, but the staff here make you feel like you're in one. The hotel owner and his wife treat guests like family, showing genuine care and hospitality. I'm genuinely pleased with my choice, as I appreciate the excellent service, convenient location, delicious food, and all the amenities provided.
Mango Tree Villa Bentota
4.4/57 Reviews
I would like to single out and thank the guys for their responsiveness and for the great service! The room is clean and modern, the food is very tasty and varied. No need to look for restaurants, everything can be ordered right at the villa! A cute cat runs around the territory :) We left a very good impression! Definitely recommend this place! We stayed for 2 nights but would happily return again!
Nature Resort
4.1/55 Reviews
Fantastic Yala Safari and great little hotel! We had a great time staying here - and went on a great Jeep safari with Pasanna organised through the hotel. The whole family (2 teenage boys) were totally enthralled by the safari and would totally recommend Pasanna! We went on the full day safari (starting at 430am … totally worth the early start to be the first in the park!!) - which allowed a full day of immersion and a slightly more relaxed pace. (The half day safaris seemed much less relaxed…). Pasanna the driver/ guide has over 13 years experience in the park, had great 4wd drive skills, clearly knew all of the possible routes in the park - and was passionate about showing us all that was possible in the park! He was excellent at spotting hard to see animals! Note that all jeeps have to have 12-2 as rest time in the park …. We easily passed it having lunch and reading books- when the jeeps are not allowed to drive around) . We managed to see a great selection of animals including 2 leopards (which I hear is very rare), multiple families of elephants with their babies which we were able to watch for an extended period of time, water buffalo, deer, samba deer, mongoose, jackals, monkeys, peacocks, lots of amazing birds, crocodiles, monitors and bats. It truly felt like the jungle book. We got home tired, but truly satisfied with the experience! Definitely felt like it was value for money.

Ocean Reach Holidays
4.1/58 Reviews
The kindest people in Marissa! The room was clean, modern, and ready for us when we arrived. The owner was even kind enough to upgrade us for free when he learned it was our honeymoon! Breakfast was prepared daily with coffee and tea. The beach is less than 1 minute from the building, literally directly across from the main entrance but on the opposite side of the road. Being on the other side of the road, it isn't loud at night with the partying going on at the beach so if you crash early it's the perfect location. The local workers even helped my wife and I get to Hikkadua safely. If you use the PickMe app in certain locations, the local Tuk Tuks won't let them pick you up. As our driver got shoed away at the beach entrance, the local Tuk Tuk alpha got all pissed and was trying to force his cab on us aggressively. The workers back at the Ocean Reach called someone they knew who came and scooped us minutes later. That kindness will never be forgotten! Don't expect luxury but this place is exactly what you need to enjoy Marissa!
Emerald Bay Resort Mirissa
4.3/53 Reviews
The hotel is a five-story building. There are 17 rooms. Give a top-floor sea view family room, the scenery is super beautiful, overlooking the entire bay of the Meilusha cruise ship and fish boat. Some of the fourth floor is a small open-air swimming pool. Just under the window. Without an elevator, the customer service brother will help with the suitcase, and he will give 100 rupees. The bathroom design feels a little strange.
Kenno's Korner
4.4/56 Reviews
We are so glad we were able to spend some time at this wonderful spot. The views are outstanding! We loved our sunset drinks overlooking the beautiful lagoon from above and the brilliant sunrises too. The staff here are so kind and helpful. The food is great. Our room was a pleasure with big comfortable bed, ensuite, fridge, air conditioner and fan. Enjoyed drifting off to the soothing sound of the waves and waking to the lovely ocean views from our bed. We had some awesome waves and saw some cool fish and turtles snorkelling out front! Will definitely be back. Thanks Kenno’s Korner!
