"Such a lovely hotel, situated on a quiet, beautiful beach. All staff here and at the sister hotel a short walk away were amazing, with a special mention to Rosin and Nedmina (sorry I couldn’t quite remember your full name!) We loved being able to swim in the sea just outside and walking along the beach. A great, comfortable base for exploring the South Coast. Lovely food too-eating on the beach was a real treat!"

"Hotel was welcoming, stylish and located a couple of minutes from the best side of the beach. The rooms are a little smaller than they appear on the photos but spotlessly clean, modern and well equipped. The atmosphere and cocktails were great, & breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. Hotel staff were incredibly friendly and could not do enough to help - particular thanks to Imash for his help and advice."

"Wir waren 5 Tage im Neem-Hotel und es war mit Abstand das schönste Hotel unserer gesamten Sri-Lanka-Reise. Madiha ist ein ruhiger, entspannter Ort – perfekt zum Abschalten. Für Advanced Surfer ist der Spot ideal. Das Hotel ist in allen Belangen überragend: wunderschöne Zimmer, ein toller Pool und ein sehr stimmiges, hochwertiges Design. Die Architektur und Gestaltung der Schweizer Architektin und Inhaberin ist extrem gelungen und schafft eine besondere Atmosphäre. Alle Mitarbeiter sind...

Randiya Sea View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had top floor and the view of Mirissa beach was spectacular! Location is excellent, right across the road from the beach and surrounded by heaps of restaurants and shops. Breakfast was excellent and had plenty of variety, good mix of western and local cuisine. Few minor issues but not enough to lose a full star for this review, perhaps 4.5 stars if you made it this far. Would stay again if i could secure a high floor, room 506 is prime! "

Hotel Ferola

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is well located a few minutes walk to the beach. The staff are great and attentive to all your needs. They go the extra mile all the time to ensure your stay is special. Breakfast is excellent with all cusines available. The NY eve gala dinner had live music, superb food banquet and a beach bbq. Seafood, meat and sushi available. Like a wedding feast. Great fun and well organised."

Outpost Weligama Beachfront

10/10 Excellent

"This was a clean and well kept property. We enjoyed our view of the mountains especially for sunrise. We especially enjoyed the good AC and extra large bed! The internet worked well for a little bit but then got very slow during a work call and eventually had to use my hotspot. But other than that it was a prefect stay. "
