Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa

"We had a fantastic stay at the Marriott and extended for two days as it was too difficult to leave the place;) the service is over the top, great amenities with a great pool and even better beach. The in-house catering offers a really good sushi place but we appreciated the little food area next to the hotel as well. All in all the best spot to relax but also do great activities such as surfing and turtle swimming. The only negative thing if I have to name one is the kids club: it is really not a nice place (and smelled). No wonder there are hardly no children there and mine didn’t want to stay there either. But we came for the pool anyways …"

"As the first person to write a review, I'll say right away: I absolutely recommend staying here! This hotel is wonderful in every way, from the service to the secluded atmosphere. The breakfasts are excellent – even with just one main menu, there's still a good selection. I was surprised by how well-stocked the room was: I'm not talking about the mini-bar and drinking water, but the bathroom, which has absolutely everything you need, including perfumed toiletries. The conditioner, shampoo, body lotion, and scrub are all fantastic quality. The room is incredibly spacious, and the shower is wonderful. It matches the photos and description 100%. I want to thank the staff for their hospitality, the manager and owner for their smiles and morning chats, and the chef for the excellent cuisine and for helping with a special personal request. It's very close to the coastline, with restaurants, beach clubs, and shops nearby. It was my first time in Sri Lanka, and I have to say, in some ways, I liked this hotel even more than the island itself. Rating: 10/10. I will definitely be back!"

NiiRA Mirissa

"Our stay at NiiRA was simply amazing. It was our very first stop after the wedding, and we truly couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful place. It’s definitely a place we would love to return to again. Everything about our experience was perfect from the delicious food to the stunning presentation. And of course, the location itself was absolutely breathtaking! A big thank you to the entire team for your exceptional hospitality. We genuinely felt at home. ♥️ Thank you once again, Team NiiRA! Wishing you all the very best.. We will definitely be back! 🫶🏻"

We Escape Weligama

"I went to Kima Surf Camp in the off-season during September and had a fantastic experience. The surf instructors were, by and large, amazing. In particular, Chuti was always motivating me to push to a higher level and providing just the right level of encouragement and advice. The kitchen staff were also great, very attentive without being overbearing. The whole experience, from breakfast to dinner, was one of the best I’ve seen at a hostel in my time traveling (over the course of many years). Kima also advertises a learn-to-surf package, which is a 5-day course of morning sessions. I would say this is an appropriate course for those who have no experience, but if you have the ability to stand up on the board and position your feet while stationary on the sand, and you know how to turn, then this course might be unnecessary, since it would be covered in the surf guiding sessions for the one-star courses anyway. However, I did like the structure provided by the learn-to-surf courses, and it was helpful for meeting new people. So, in that respect, I think it might be worth the money for those considering it. I would say that the hostel is quite social and good for solo travelers. However, during my visit, there were a lot of German-speaking travelers (in the order of 80%), which made it a bit of a different experience compared to hostels I’ve stayed at in Europe and Asia. That said, there were many activities organized, and it was easy to meet people through yoga sessions, surfing, or the social events hosted by the camp. Dinners were typically very social, especially if you chose to sit at the larger tables. The rooms were excellent, and there were plenty of bathrooms available, so I never felt like there was an issue in terms of facilities."

Ayurvie Weligama - Ayurvedic Retreat - Thema Collection

"We stayed at Ayurvie Weligama for an Ayurveda retreat for the second time, and once again we are absolutely delighted. What we particularly appreciate is the very personal and individualized service. From the moment we arrived, we received an exceptionally warm welcome. The German-speaking doctor has an impressive amount of experience and outstanding expertise, which ensures that the retreat is truly beneficial and successful. We also loved the food—it is absolutely delicious. At the same time, you quickly develop a very friendly connection with the wonderful team in the kitchen. Of course, it is also extremely important to have excellent therapists. Here we were more than satisfied and looked forward every day to the approximately two hours of treatments. All in all, it was a fantastic Ayurveda retreat. We will definitely come back!"

Beach & Bliss Mirissa

"The photos are incredibly deceiving — what’s advertised online is not what you walk into. It felt like dealing with a dodgy salesperson: all shine and spin, very little substance. The safe didn’t work, the sliding door wouldn’t lock properly (which felt unsafe and unacceptable), the air conditioner unit dripped water next to the bed and overall maintenance was well below standard. Presentation might look glossy in pictures, but in reality it’s poorly maintained and misleadingly marketed. I wouldn’t stay here again and would strongly suggest management address the basic safety and honesty issues before promoting it the way they do."

Central Beach Inn

"The hotel is right on the beach and was very clean. We stayed for two days, and the front desk told us there was no routine cleaning, but it wasn't important. There's a hotel dining area on the beach, and the hotel restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is open to the public; there weren't too many tourists. It's very convenient to get to the pier for whale watching; it's about a 10-minute walk. We hired a car for an island tour, so the driver took us there in the morning, and it only took about 2 minutes. It rained heavily every afternoon during our stay, and enjoying afternoon tea in the restaurant while watching the rain on the beach and sipping drinks was very pleasant. The beach restaurant has seafood, offering a fairly international selection of food, as well as local dishes, all of which were delicious. There were many Europeans and Americans there."
