Reviews of Serendipity Mirissa
From the moment you enter, you are greeted warmly by a friendly staff. I won’t forget Sandakelum, who was very gracious and eager to help and answer any questions I had.
The hotel has direct access to a quiet, hidden beach, only steps away. The water is warm, the sand is clean. The patio is a perfect place to watch the sunset.
The bar is fully equipped with a list of creative, signature cocktails. When I requested a vegetarian options, of which there are many, the head chef even came to greet me and offered to adapt anything on the menu for non-meat eaters.
I was quite sad to leave but I will definitely be coming back on my next visit to beautiful Mirissa.
They offered very nice srilankan food
We enjoyed every bit of it.
Will definitely visit again.
The entire property is stunning, perfectly located, and very well maintained. The atmosphere is truly special and makes it easy to relax from the first moment. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and always attentive – you really feel welcomed and taken care of throughout your stay.
A special thank you to Sadakelum, who provided outstanding service. He was extremely attentive, professional, and genuinely kind – he made our experience even more memorable.
One of our highlights was the private dinner on the beach. It was beautifully arranged, the setting was romantic and unique, and the food quality was outstanding. A big thank you to Milinda for the excellent service during the dinner – everything was perfectly organized and very attentive. Also, compliments to the chef for the high-quality and delicious food!
We would also like to highlight the manager, who was always present, very helpful, and made sure all our wishes were fulfilled at any time.
The only small point for improvement would be the pool, which could use a bit more regular cleaning.
Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would absolutely recommend this hotel. Thank you for such a wonderful experience – we would love to come back! 🌊🌅
Beach front and recommend a visit.
Thank you to the staff here for being so lovely 😊
Was den Abend aber wirklich besonders gemacht hat, war der Service. Wir hatten einen eigenen Kellner, der unglaublich aufmerksam war, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Mein Freund hatte vorab Wein bestellt und der Kellner war wirklich extrem genau – er hat den Weinkühler ständig gecheckt und perfekt nachgeschenkt. Man hat sich richtig gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
Das Essen war absolute Spitzenklasse (besonders das Tatar und die Meeresfrüchte!). Insgesamt haben wir für das Privat-Dinner inklusive Wein ca. 95.000 LKR bezahlt. Das ist natürlich ein stolzer Preis, aber für diese Exklusivität und den perfekten Service war es für uns jeden Cent wert. Ein unvergesslicher Abend!
We had a room facing the road which was a little noisy but it was cleaned and maintained excellently. We spent most of our time downstairs relaxing in the different areas.
The location is great, 5 minutes out of Mirissa so you have the beach to yourself. We made friends with Madu the Tuk Tuk driver recommended by the manager and we used him for all of our stay.
We will be back!
The food and cocktails were fantastic! The pool, facilities and rooms were 10/10! And Ruwan and all the staff went above and beyond to make our stay amazing!!
5 stars! We will be coming back!
