Overall very nice ocean front facility, rooms are clean, older but comfortable. AC works well. Staff though not very well trained are trying their best to be helful. Food is good, lots of chices and close to authentic. Difficulty road to get to the hotel, then this is normal for Sri Lankan hotel outside of Colombo.

We like the executive room not the room with the pool, the pool is too small and u the room is not renovated yet. The executive room with a jacuzzi was much better with the view the refurbishment and the shower inside

Restaurant and pool staff were lovely. We booked a room with a private plunge pool but it wasn't so private with workmen making noise and working above it from 7.30 am each morning.

The resort and staff were fantastic. Needed to use a tuk tuk to get to nearby attractions, but small price to pay for the fantastic treatment we received at Mandara.

Ok but not great
The rooms are nice and clean. The staff at the front desk is not very helpful. The pool area is nice but a chain fence around the beach area puts a major damper on the overall feel of the place.

Relaxing
Lovely hotel in a quiet area, secluded beach but only a short tuk tuk ride to all the beach bars in Mirissa. Fabulous, spacious rooms, didn’t eat in the restaurant but there was a good selection at breakfast

Enjoyed the stay and the food is really good The restaurant serving staff need training. After 10.30 all restaurants and room service will be closed and have to go to bed with an empty stomach.

Quiet spot with Nice staff. A bit dated.
Nice little place. A bit 1970s feel, but actually we found it pretty comfortable and the rooms were large and well appointed. Management made an effort to introduce themselves and made sure we were comfy. It’s a bit of an odd location - a bit stuck between Weligama town and Mirissa town but it works ok as we walked the road into town and caught a tuk tuk back easily enough. I’d say it’s somewhat faded but good value. Wifi was sketchy in the room. Gym was a bit rusty. Breakfast was good - with lots of options. Bar staff and restaurant staff very helpful. Receptionist was lovely and helpful.

Horror hotel
Horrible stay I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The pool had an electrical wire going into the pool I told the manager he said he would fix it immidately and never did which is a huge life risk. Beach was horribly dirty. I had a huge spider the size of my hand in my room the manager said it's ok it's just a spider. Then after they took the spider out maybe half an hour later I had a swarm of about 40 flies in my room even though I had no doors or windows open in my room. The hotels solution was to spray about four cans of bug spray in my room which gave me a massive headache and nautious to the point of me throwing up three times. Worst hotel I ever stayed at I will never go there again.

OK, bur Not 4 star and rather worn down
It’s an ok hotel for the price if you are OK with a 3 star hotel that is worn. Nice pool area and beach, and friendly staff. Breakfast buffet is not good to be honest. Classes not clean, not big variety or quality. There is an omelette stand, but be aware of getting black “stuff” from the omelette pan on the eggs as well. We decided to leave the hotel for Marriott instead because of our expectations was not met. But lower your expectations from 4 star, then OK and good price.

OK resorthotell
För en familj på tre, så kan vi säga följande: Fördelar med boendet: + Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal + Trevlig pool med olika djup + Barnstolar i restaurangen + Trevlig strand med fin utsikt + Stora rum, med stor balkong + Stor brett frukostutbud Nackdelar: - Löpbanden på gymmet fungerade ej, lite eftersatt gymutrustning som behöver lite kärlek från olja. - Renoveringar under vår tid där. - Om du är lat, så behöver du gå ut till vägen för att få en tuk-tuk om du inte låter hotellet beställa en åt dig.

Für und wider
Wir waren 4 Nächte im Hotel, davon 2 mit Abendbüffet. Das Hotel ist sehr schön angelegt,liegt abseits und ist normalerweise sehr ruhig. Wir hatten das Pech das in den 4 Tagen am Aufzug renoviert, die Solaranlage am Dach bearbeitet, bei der Beachbar irgendwas geschliffen wurde, die Wege behämmert und der Bereich um den Pool neu gestrichen wurde. Alles an sich nicht schlimm, in Summe ein bisschen mühsam, vor allem der Aufzug, das Stiegenhaus war ständig staubig und Werkzeug lag herum. Ansonsten ist es klein, aber fein, Strand okay, Essen auch gut, an dem "Abgewohntsein" arbeiten sie offenbar gerade :-) Leider sind der Speisesaal und auch die "Beachbar" nicht offen, sondern abgeschlossene Lokale, die sehr runtergekühlt sind. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und kennt sich mit Standardabläufen auch recht gut aus, aus der Norm fallende Fragen überfordern sie ein bisschen.

Et fantastisk hotell, perfekt plass å avslutte ferien på. De ansatte var veldig vennlige og hjelpsomme og hadde alltid svar og en løsning på våre spørsmål. Det var alltid rent, stort og deilig rom og en utsikt man lett drømmer seg vekk i. Både frukost og middag var kjempegod og utvalget var helt enormt! Massasjen der var helt fantastisk! Anbefales på det sterkeste.

Helt ok hotell med mycket stora rum och pool. Ligger lite avsides. Finns en lång och lugn sandstrand utanför hotellet, men Mirissa Beach är mycket finare och passade oss bättre så vi åkte Tuk-tuk dit istället. Frukosten är ganska dålig och gymet är bedrövligt.

Fint Men inte 4stjärnigt
Trevligt hotell. Känns som ett gamal hotel från kololialtider. Fräscht och fint men knappast 4 stjärnigt västerländs standard. Bra Mat men precis som andra ställen i sri Lanka tar det lång tid. Mysigt strand och bra om man vill ha lugn och ro, vi såg 1 annan turist i hela Weligama.
