I stayed 1 night on BB basis with my family.

Rooms-

Clean with a king size bed. There is a safe and the amenities for coffee/tea. There is no TV. Overall good room.

Food-
We only had breakfast (see photos) food was tasty but the texture of the hoppers were like pancakes. Not the hoppers you expect but still tasted good.

Location-
This is not exactly in Mirissa. Its about 4km away from the Mirissa stretch. Place is nice and has a pool which is not very big. Has a nice bar and seating area. Parking space is quiet small. Only 3 cars.

Staff and service-
Excellent service received from Sajith who served our entire stay and also with customized meals for my kid. Also thanks to Chamith (manager) for handling our booking without any hassle.

We travelled from the UK for our honeymoon and had an amazing stay. From the moment we arrived until we checked out, every member of the team made us feel so welcome.
A special thank you to the Manager, Chamith, for ensuring everything was perfect throughout our stay. Our compliments to the talented chefs, Thisaru and Sandaruwan, for preparing such delicious meals. The food was exceptional every day. Thank you to our wonderful waiters, Sachith and Janidhu, for their friendly and attentive service, Sathutu for making fantastic drinks at the bar, and Thushari from housekeeping for keeping our room spotless and comfortable.
The location is beautiful, the hospitality is outstanding, and the service truly exceeded our expectations. One of the highlights of our trip was getting the chance to witness baby turtles hatching, which made our honeymoon even more special.
The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the experience, and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Sri Lanka. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you all for making our honeymoon so memorable!
