"When we arrived there was a misunderstanding about the number of people in the booking. That is Ctrip order goes through ******* then to the hotel and ******* didn't mention the kids so we ended up in a small room. Fortunately, the owner worked her magic and we were able to move to a bigger room the second day.
The hotel is located in a quiet beach, far from the touristic cities. We thought we would be close to Marissa but it was still a 30 min tuktuk drive away. In the end, we didn't like Marissa, so staying in Matara was a great choice. The beach is a paradise for surfers of all levels. We basically went everyday with my daughter of 8, while our baby of 1 could play in the sand.
The accommodation was more than on, but what makes this hotel a gem is the staff. They were very friendly, always ready to help. Our baby daughter was treated like their own kid. The kitchen tries to be as sustainable as possible so to avoid waste you have to order your dinner in the afternoon which was sometimes a bother as we like to plan on the go. But the food was very good and the quantity plenty. We had too much food at breakfast so we asked usually only to have two portions for our family of 4.
Sometimes, we'd asked for a change on the menu, swap chicken for shrimps and the cook would agree.
We had the NY's eve dinner there and it was excellent."

Amazing
NNadia CicWe had an amazing stay! A special shout-out to the incredible food: we opted for the half-board meals, and every dish was delicious, expertly prepared, and offered with a fantastic variety. Whether it was breakfast or dinner, the flavors and presentation exceeded our expectations.
The service was absolutely brilliant—every member of the staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely dedicated to making our experience unforgettable. From the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive care during meals, the personnel truly went above and beyond.
The spa treatments were the cherry on top of our stay. The facilities were immaculate, the atmosphere serene, and the therapists highly skilled. It was the perfect way to unwind and feel completely pampered.
We can't wait to return and highly recommend this place to anyone seeking an exceptional getaway!
TTriptacular7We stayed for a week at this hotel and later prolonged our stay after traveling to other places in Sri Lanka. Mirissa is amazing. And this hotel's location is perfect, next to beautiful Zouk restaurant. We could also relax on the terrace and enjoy the sunset, watching flying foxes. The room was nice and clean. We had everything we needed. The best local breakfast we have had in Sri Lanka with green curry. The owner family is incredibly nice and friendly. They helped us with any question and were always polite and smiling. It was a very pleasant stay. When we return to Sri Lanka we'll stay at this hotel in Mirissa.
EEnglish RoseAbsolutely beautiful colonial-style house with antique furniture and real character! Everything was clean and carefully presented. We were greeted with refreshing drinks and shown to a stunning room with TWO balconies and its own little attic. We really enjoyed the delicious and varied breakfasts, which much better coffee than we drank elsewhere. The pool was also a huge benefit after a hot day exploring Mirissa. The Spice House is very near the beaches and plenty of nice restaurants and cafes. Its staff were friendly and helpful - and we even had a nice chat with the owners one evening. Definitely recommend!
DDMITRIIRegarding our stay at Marriott Weligama.
We enjoyed our stay due to few great “pluses”:
- perfect view with giant window in room;
- kids club works almost all day long, giving parents free time for ourselves; + professional stuff in club. we stayed two weeks in hotel and our favourite and beloved by kid - Bhagya - always met kid with smile, tried her best to interact kid in the most active way (despite some ladies, who found easier to switch on tv and cartoons), she easily found same language with my kid, although kid doesn’t know English at all. What I like most: Bhagya gave feedback on my kid’s activities in club every time.
- swimming pool worked till 10pm, which is really cool.
What we find could be improved:
- evening activities;
- more variety at breakfast - please change dishes at least 1-2 times in a week;
- coffee beans at breakfast… too burnt taste.
HHUANThe hotel is very close to the Marriott. It can be seen from the beach. The service staff are very friendly (the front desk person with fat eyes and round eyes is super nice). This place has a lot of surfers from all over the world! Great! The breakfast is rich and delicious
SShweta LThe property is located right by the beach, offering stunning ocean views and a calming ambiance. It’s the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The rooms were spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed with a coastal vibe. Waking up to the sound of waves and the sea breeze was an absolute highlight. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile, making the stay even more enjoyable. The food was delightful—fresh, flavorful, and with plenty of options to choose from. I especially loved their seafood dishes, which were prepared to perfection. Another great feature was the location. It’s close enough to Mirissa’s main attractions but far enough to avoid the hustle and bustle, giving you the best of both worlds.
GGuest UserThere is a problem with the light in the room. After closing, it will flash for half a minute. It has not been repaired. I was awakened at night.
JjainRajatExcellent location. Quite nearby to mirissa harbour and weligama. Liked the property. They arranged a candle lit dinner setting nearby beach as it was my honeymoon on request for no additional charges.
Liked the beach, the swimming facilities and the buffet for dinner as well as breakfast.
Arranged breakfast box as i had to go on whale watching and would have missed my breakfast.
Very nice staff.
Only thing they can improve is a bit quick on service as we had to call multiple times for getting our room cleaned.
CClair SheehanJaga Bay Resort was fantastic! I arrived in town and the place I had booked did not have my booking and Jaga Bay came to the rescue.
This is a family run local business. Jaga the owner supports local children with their education through his own personal donations and those of past guests. I was being a sticky beak one morning as a crowd of women and children were having a little ceremony and thanking Jaga. He explained to me that since the tsunami the hotel and past guests supported orphaned children to finish their schooling. There are only two children left so now they support local children in need. This warmed my heart so much as I saw such genuine support and appreciation with everyone there.
I was in Weligama before a friend's wedding and was in desperate need for an under garment for my Sari. Jaga's wife and main office lady went above and beyond for me on new years eve...I managed to find an awesome tailor, personalised tuktuk driver's and first class service...and the best breakfast view!
I will always come back here.
Thank-you so much!
