  • JustineAustralia · 21 Mar 2026 10Exceptional

    Can’t wait to come back, wish I found it sooner. Will definately recommend

    Liked : The peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Access to kitchen and cooking facilities. Able to buy local grab seafood and have our own bbq

    Disliked : Not a lot of beach but great infinity pool made up for that with comfortable pool lounges

    • Deluxe Double Room
  • RebeccaUnited Kingdom · 19 Mar 2026 10Exceptional

    Highly recommend - the perfect stay!

    Liked : It is an absolutely beautiful place where you can fully switch off as it is so quiet and a peaceful area. The pool is wonderful and near to Polhena Beach. There are bikes you can use at the property to go to the shops etc. The staff are incredible, and very welcoming, and the gardens are kept immaculately with so many beautiful trees. They thought of everything including putting insect repellent coils out every evening.

    Disliked : Nothing!

  • JoUnited Kingdom · 1 Mar 2026 10Exceptional

    Very kind and courteous staff who were always willing to offer advice about the local attractions.

    Liked : We loved this place. The pool is so nice to cool down in and the garden is so beautiful. The hosts put a lot of time and energy into making the grounds a peaceful haven, lots of thought has gone into it. You wake to the sound of birds and the waves of the Indian Ocean. We had breakfast which we really enjoyed here with great Italian coffee and loved the attention to detail.We really appreciated the peace and safety of this place. The fact that we could ride their bicycles for free from the hotel was a real plus. We would recommend this place to other people and will be back.

    Disliked : Nothing

    • One-Bedroom Bungalow with Sea View
  • CelineSri Lanka · 9 Dec 2025 8Very good

    We had a very good stay and would definitely recommend it!

    Liked : Very beautiful pool and garden with private little beach.

    Disliked : More of a resort vibe, not as personal as some beautiful other places where we have stayed. But still everyone was incredibly nice and helpful!

    • Double Room
  • AudreyFrance · 20 Nov 2025 10Exceptional

    Liked : It's a magnificent spot facing the sea. This place is magical. The host is lovely and always ready to help. The location isn't far from Mirissa, very easy to access, and peaceful.

    • Deluxe Double Room
  • SamiraGermany · 2 Oct 2025 10Exceptional

    Gorgeous accommodation and great staff

    Liked : Very nice outside area, we loved spending time in the pool but also to explore areas nearby. We rented a scooter from the hotel and we also booked the Batik workshop through the hotel and it was amazing! The hotel manager was super nice and helpful with everything. Definitely recommending staying here.

    • One-Bedroom Bungalow with Sea View
  • IndraSwitzerland · 25 Sept 2025 10Exceptional

    A perfect stay!

    Liked : Deep Blue is a calm little paradise and just perfect to relax. The clean and beautiful pool was just a bliss for us and our kids, 6 and 8 y.o. The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruits, omelette, toast and jogurt.
    In 10 minutes walking distance you can reach Polhena Beach, good for swimming in the morning. Matara town is 10 minutes away with the TukTuk. Just asked Ruzaik and he can give you the contact so you‘ll pay a fair price.
    What you need to know is that on the private beach kids can’t swim.
    Outstanding is the kindness of Ruzaik, the manager of Deep Blue. Thank you for everything!
