Property was not great. But the staff were absolutely fantastic!!! They were most helpful and outstanding. It is not their fault the property is the way it is. It was cleaned to the best possible but fixtures and furniture need major upgrading.

They overbooked and put me in hotel beside called wood lodge next door so what im reviewing is wood lodge. Bed was comfortable, ac and hot shower were nice. = No tv, no fridge, light above did not work and alot of ants (not sure if thats just marissa)....and a dog waa barking all night (but maybe it was just that night). I decided to skip my second night and stayed at Galle. Might of done that regardless...

The photos on the website were deceiving …the bathroom was quite old and there were ants everywhere, even though the staff were great and they did come and clean whenever we asked. I think we just got one of the bad rooms as judging from reviews, other people didn’t have an issue. The furniture inside the room is very old and dated but bed was ok comfort and AC worked very well. The staff were really nice but hotel probably needs to be updated. It was fair for the price though

Lovely place, very friendly.

Stayed here a couple days and really don’t have anything to complain about. Stayed an extra night as was just what we needed, chilled. Lovely place with very friendly staff. We had the room on the top floor which had partially views of the beach and sea. The room was very spacious with a big super king and single bed, both 4 posted. The place is not luxurious but it is very nice. Situated 300m from the beach where there are a number of bar & restaurants on the beach. You get a lot for your money and the staff are happy to help with anything you need.

Perfect for mirissa beach

Good clean room and friendly staff. Good location for the beach and only a 5 minute tuk tuk ride for the whale watching. We didnt have the breakfast so can't comment but other people were having it and looked good. The staff kept offering to top up the tea, coffee and toast. The staff were very helpful in orgaising our transport onto Galle. Would stay again if in the area.

Great place, great price!

We stayed for 3 nights with our 2 children. The rooms are huge and it was great to spread out! Bathroom is also really lovely and a great size. Shower is enormous! The staff are lovely and the man who runs Hotel always has a smile from ear to ear and more than willing to help at any time. Breakfast is simple but more than enough- eggs with sausage and toast and jam. Fruit juice, coffee/tea. Location is brilliant- only about a 2 minute walk to the beach and a huge selection of places to eat and get a few snacks all around. Easy to get a tuktuk too. The one downfall for us was the smell of our room. I dont know if it was just ours, or all rooms, but ours was very damp and musty smelling. Our clothes all smelt when we left also. If we were staying more than 3 nights, i would have asked for a room change. With all this said - I would still recommend to others and i would stay here again myself also.

Spacious, nice view and friendly owner

Stayed at Vacanza for 2 nights. We got the best room, clean, helpful staff and only 5 min walk to the beach. The room/bathroom were really spacious with a fridge available. Unfortunately we came during Festival season so a lot of restaurants were close in surroundings area. Felt like a high standard hotel at an affordable price. Would highly recommend. It's a family business so you also feel better supporting local economy :) It's also just a minute from the Railway station which is perfect if you move down the coast or back to Colombo.

Great location. Great staff.

Great location, excellent service and very friendly and serviceminded staff. Hotel Vacanza is not a luxury Hotel by European standards, but it's nice and clean, have OK shower facilities, spacy rooms and comfortable beds. The staff is great and very helpful - also in organising safaris, taxi pick ups etc. Breakfast is very good. Location is great - literally 1 minute walk and you are on the central part of Mirissa Beach.
