We booked two "superior rooms". One had a good view out towards the sea, the other had a view over the nearby river. The views of the river don't compare with the sea, partly because the area immediately adjacent to the hotel is quite scruffy. If staying, I'd certainly ask for a sea view. We found the staff to be... More

The hotel room we stayed in was very spacious, and quite well equipped along with two large Queen sized comfortable beds, a dvd player, a sea view balcony, and a jacuzzi. Overall there are no activities to do in and around the hotel. So we filled our 2 day stay with a lot of sleep, and we watched movies on... More

Stayed for one night with family as a base to see whales from Mirissa (it is superbly located for that by the way!) It is a fairly new hotel, the booking process is a bit archaic, check in was smooth and an upgrade in room provided. Concept of a private plunge pool is great but execution could be better, some...

We're given a free upgrade upon arrival to a deluxe room. It is very spacious with 2 queen size bed and living area. The big bathroom with Jacuzzi was really nice and overlooks the sea. However, the hotel should repaint its fading exterior and also some blinds in the room a abit stained. Overall, service is good.

This hotel was very stylish and nicely furbished. The staff were very helpful and as the hotel was quite small you get the full attention when needed. The food was really great, we had a big lobster for supper, served in the garden with litten candles. There is a nice pool and the rooms are very spacious. The hotel was... More

I have to agree with a number of other reviewers that this could be a very good hotel, but does not quite make it. Nice big modern rooms, good layout, nice location. But there are countless small irritations: Vague smell of mould and damp cement everywhere. Very slight, but noticeable. No WiFi. Surprising in a new hotel of this quality.... More

Last December(2011) we stayed at the Mandara boutique resort. while we paid for a room with Jacuzzi, I am disappointed to say the least that the Jacuzzi was not working through our stay . Despite our complaint the hotel staff was unable to fix it. There were other things that were disappointing: Upon arrival I was offered a fruit drink... More

The Mandara Resort is a good, quite hotel, with a great staff. They are all very friendly and helpful, but the hotel has 3 main things against it: 1) It is located off the main tourism area. The beach is not as beautiful and is therefore empty. The Mirissa Beach area is about 10 minutes away. There are several nice... More

We stayed for five nights. The service is excellent. the location is amazing - wonderful beach, walking distance from Walligama surfing point and 5 minutes tok-tok ride to Mirissa beach. The hotel is small (20 rooms) which is great, we had a suite which was lovely - very large, huge bathroom (strangely enough larger then the room itself). Food -... More
