Mandara Resort Mirissa Reviews

Perfect place to unwind, fantastic stay, felt the real Srilankan Hospitality . great location on the beach along with a lagoon and the staff is very friendly. And a superb beach………. I will definitely stay here again and highly recommended.

Hotel included as part of a tour. Out of 6 hotels this has been the worst. Blood on dressing table stool and net curtains, hot water system cannot cope with volume of guests, WiFi extremely weak, keeps dropping out and no drinking glasses available in the room. It just appears that the hotel cannot cope with volumes of customers!

Lovely hotel, fabulous jumbo prawns! Beautiful view and lovely service. Thilni - guest relations executive, chef Durango was lovely and provide excellent service. Beach and pool was beautiful. Sri Lankan hospitality is 2nd to none. Wonderful stay

Had an amazing time here with the awesome staff and fellow guests during the the sri lankan new years. Plenty of good food and drink to share with many fun activities to participate. The rooms were also amazing with big twin beds and a huge clean bathroom. Would come back here again if in Sri lanka.

Nestled along the serene coastline, the resort I stayed in offered an unparalleled retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The highlight was undoubtedly the private beach, a pristine stretch of golden sand lapped by crystal-clear waters, where I could indulge in solitude and relaxation to the gentle melody of the waves. The private pool villa I called home during my stay was a sanctuary of luxury and comfort. Surrounded by lush tropical foliage, it provided the perfect blend of seclusion and luxury, with its spacious living areas, elegant furnishings, and of course, the refreshing plunge pool that offered respite from the tropical heat. The culinary experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From sumptuous seafood feasts to exquisite international cuisine, every meal was a gastronomic delight. The resort's talented chefs crafted each dish with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a symphony of flavors that tantalized the taste buds. However, what truly set this resort apart was its exceptional staff. Warm, attentive, and always ready to go the extra mile, they anticipated my every need and exceeded my expectations at every turn. Their genuine hospitality truly made me feel like a valued guest, and it's what made my stay truly unforgettable. In essence, this resort was a haven of luxury, relaxation, and impeccable service—an experience I will cherish forever.

The room was clean and spacious. The staff members were very friendly and polite. The location in this resort was perfect as there was a beach. The breakfast buffet was good with a lot of varieties. The service at the restaurant couldve been improved. Ms Thilini treated us very kindly. Overall a great stay !

Amazing View of Ocean.. Amazing Food... Amazing Ambience.. Amazing Sea side bar....Kudoos Specially Mr. Himasha took special care of us... I would highly recommend the place for rest and recuperation Must relax at the attached beach with your family nearby would help you relieve stress

The location and rooms were just lovely. Was here as part of an inspiring vacations tour, otherwise there would have been no one. The food was average, breakfast bacon, baked beans, etc. all cold and or undercooked. They also tried to overcharge each one of us in one way or another which is why I’m writing this review. Can recommend to stay but eat elsewhere, better and cheaper and safer

Lovely room with a view of the Ocean with all the amenities, clean updated bathroom. Good spread for breakfast and dinner with reasonably priced drinks from the bar. Great swimming pool, nice beach but sea is too rough to swim. Helpful and courteous staff. Best hotel stay in Sri Lanka.

Nice and friendly staff, very helpful and attentive . Relaxed Hotel near the beach. Restaurant, bar and pool staff very friendly, became like friends to us. Good and varied food . Massage in the Spa was excellent. Creative room attendant, we even got a towel crocodile We stayed 7 days and enjoyed the stay very much.

This hotel was very friendly with great location and amazing ocean front - go to sleep to the music of the ocean!!!! Do not miss the well priced most delicious buffet in the evening. Some interesting places to visit nearby including viewing turtles in their natural environment.

Don't book this hotel if don't wanna be cheated ..I ordered through agoda a superior sea view room...full paid and confirmed....but when reached around 3 PM...after 45 minutes they said their contract with agoda doesn't exist now and don't have the confirmation from agoda...and behaviour of front office manager was not pleasant ...it took 1 hour to let us know their problem and agoda took 10 minutes only to resolve this problem.... Half of their front office staffs doesn't understand English even..room is nothing like a 5 star hotel room..no proper sea view though we paid for that

We spent 2 nights at this hotel as part of a guided tour group of 13. When we arrived my husband and I were allocated a room in a block up a road. Although the room was spacious it was very poorly lit and it opened out onto a flat roof desperately in need of repair and the glass screen was really dirty. The grounds, pool and beach are lovely but nothing else around. Toiletries were almost non existent. At breakfast they had forgotten to put iems on the buffet including cereals and yoghurt. We all ordered lunch from a fixed menu in a virtually empty restaurant and although it was well presented it took 2 hours to serve and some guests walked out. After 3 requests I eventually got my ice cream! There were problems with bills as we checked out and an inference that some people hadn't paid. The service was a shambles and I wouldn't recommend staying.

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel, the friendliness of the staff and relaxing peaceful ambiance making it an easy choice when planning our itinerary. Excellent location, quiet and on the beach, what more is required. The pool is very inviting and access to the beach and ocean is just a few steps away. The food is good and in the evening the options to eat outside by the pool or under the palm trees make an evening special. The bar area is superb, with a cool and calm inside and a tropical ambiance outside. Rooms are comfortable, clean and with all required amenities. Colin is an exceptional friendly host and such a great asset to this hotel. We look forward to returning in the future.
