Vis Ta Vie -Thema Collection

Everything’s the view, the staff and super clean! Ishan was so sweet and the chef makes the best food! I swear you will regret your stay! 100% recommend

Nothing to dislike

Staff was so helpful and food was great and the place was very clean and nice

Our stay at Vis Ta Vie was everything a visitor could ask for. The room was spacious, everything was as clean as it could be, the staff was most welcoming and helpful, the breakfast and snacks were of top quality. And all this, literally a few steps away from the ocean! You could stay on the porch all day watching the waves and listening to the birds’ sounds. The location is thankfully a little further away from busy Mirissa, a distance you can try on foot or easily cover with a tuk tuk.

Everything The room view

Bathroom was a little smelly

Beautiful, and as described in the listing. Room and bathroom was very spacious. The pool was perfectly sized and well suited to small families.

Food I felt was overpriced and menu had limited options, esp for vegetarians - this meant having to drive out. The bed wasn't the best and tended to sink, though the comforters were great, also sea swimming at this location was really hard - very strong currents and waves. There was actually no action on this beach because the ocean bed fell off deeply very quickly. The next time, we would rather stay somewhere close to Mirissa Beach, which is where all the surfing happens and where all the people aggregate. It's a very nice beach, but it's about 15 minutes away by car. The hotel does deliver on its promises, but we didn't feel that the price was justified when we went.

Head Chef Roshan provided some of the most outstanding hospitality we’ve ever experienced. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond to cater to our every need, making sure every meal was exceptional and every moment of our stay at the villa was enjoyable. He treated us like family—like his own daughters,always making sure we were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. The property itself was immaculate,spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and a pleasure to stay in. A huge thank you to Rohan and his wonderful team for their warmth, kindness, and impeccable service. They truly made our stay unforgettable, and we can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Nothing to say. We loved our stay

Clean, spacious, on the beach, super quiet and relaxing, you can here the waves all night.

Nothing. It’ was a great stay.

Excellent staffs who made our stay delightful. Ishan was so attentive and polite. He and chef Roshan looked after us so well. Roshan even cooked a complimentary calamari dish for us and served at the beach side. Small boutique hotel which is incredibly clean and well appointed. We stayed in the pool side room with terrace and the view from our terrace was incredible. Comfortable bed and well appointed and large room and bathroom. Very good breakfast every morning served to our liking. The hotel is at the beginning of the main arterial road so quieter than the main area yet a short drive from all the restaurants. Beach in front of the property is gorgeous but isn’t swimmable. Although Mirissa beach or secret beach is nearby where we enjoyed a lot. We would wholeheartedly recommend this property.

Nothing really

It’s like a private villa beautifully located next to the amazing beach. Very large rooms. Good food.

Nothing.

Oh, what can I say about this place? The views are breathtaking, the property is stunning, and somehow it is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the people. There is a big difference between staff who are professional and do their job well, and staff who genuinely love what they do and go above and beyond to make sure every guest has the best possible experience. The team here belongs to the second category. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, they were always available, always smiling, and always ready to help with anything we needed. They made us feel welcomed, cared for, and completely at home. A special mention goes to Mr. Roshan (I hope I got his name right), who was absolutely amazing throughout our stay. His kindness, attentiveness, and genuine desire to make our experience memorable did not go unnoticed. He consistently checked on us, helped with every request, and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another booking. What impressed me most was that their hospitality never felt forced or scripted. It came naturally, and you could tell they genuinely cared about making sure we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Beautiful places can be found almost anywhere, but the people are what create memories, and the people here made this stay truly special.

Absolutely everything! The staff were attentive and so kind. The highlight was being able to release baby turtles to the ocean!

Nothing!

It is a beautiful property right on the beach. It is decorated beautifully and immaculate. The staff are amazing and we were so well looked after the entire trip. The service could not have been better and the food was just as good.

It was all perfect

Everything! This is a fantastic place to stay as staff are friendly, helpful and go above and beyond. The whole hotel is clean and well maintained and the food is amazing! Will definitely be back!

Everything was great!

This place is a gem, stayed there with my wife for 4 nights and it has been remarkable the property is clean, the staff is extremely friendly and supportive also, the food there is insanely good we had dinner there few times and it didn't disappoint Would do it again 100%, highly recommended if you're staying in the city this should be your next go to

Nothing

Absolute private beachfront

Nothing. Loved it

We thoroughly enjoyed the boutique hotel experience. Staff were friendly and your comfort was clearly a priority for them. The layout of the hotel allowed for perfect views of the beach with easy access to the water. Able to see wild life (We saw sea turtles, iguana, crabs, dogs, chameleons, and a variety of birds). Delicious a la carte breakfast served daily. The mango jam made in house was sublime.

We did not receive a few things that were supposed to be received as part of our package we purchased through Booking.com, namely a dinner experience and sorbet.

Excellent location. Room spacious for 2 people. Good value for money paid

The location of the propert touching the beach . The property is very well maintained . The staffs are very humble and helpful .

Nothing .

Property was clean and well maintained and staff was so friendly and cooperative. Food was delicious. Everything was up to the mark.

All rooms were moldy with heavy heavy smell of mold and humidity all in all a medical safety hazard. In addition while it says that this place is a high rating luxury resort, this is more of an old villa that doesn't give you the privacy vibe a couple would want nor pleasant stay, it feels like you rented a room in an old moldy airbnb with other people.

Nice place, private beach

Our stay was fantastic from start to finish. Roshan and the team went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout. They even prepared special meals for both us and the kids, which was a thoughtful touch we really appreciated. The property itself is very clean and well maintained, and we stayed in the one-bedroom suite, which was excellent—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our needs. A real highlight was the special anniversary dinner they arranged for us on the beach. It was beautifully set up and made the occasion truly memorable. The team treated both us and our kids with such warmth and care. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience—we’ll definitely be back soon!

مكان رائع وفريق عمل اكثر من رائع

الغرفه شوي قديمه لكن على المدينه تعتبر ممتازه

Beautiful beach front location on a quiet beach.

Everyone was very friendly but felt a little pressured to order dinner early instead of having dinner when we were ready. Also we loved seeing the turtles being released but a member of staff knocked on our door repeatedly at 10pm to see if we wanted to see a turtle laying eggs on the beach, when our 1.5yr old was sleeping. So that was not very considerate. Double Room was a great size and clean but a little worn round the edges.

Great property, large rooms and on a beautiful beach.

Everything about the stat

None

Absolutely fantastic. The location is great, the room was big and spacious, very clean and opens to the sea. The staff were so kind and welcoming, friendly. 100/10 would recommend this place. We went for our honeymoon, and the place is very romantic, you can have dinner on the beach. Nobody’s around, it’s far enough from the crowded areas to basically have a private beach, but close enough to reach in 10 min by tuktuk. Perfect location, delicious brownies too!

Un vero angolo di paradiso questo boutique hotel con solo 4 camere. Abbiamo mangiato bene, la spiaggia attrezzata è semplicemente perfetta e con la piscina è top.

Di certo è più costoso della media degli alloggi sulla stessa categoria

We loved our stay in this hotel. It's beautiful, very clean facility and pool and the rooms with sea view are great! The staff was so friendly and helpful. They arranged a wonderful dinner on the beach for us.

Splendid stay at lovely place, very friendly welcome and marvelous food cooked by the Shef, Mr. Roshan: he makes smth you have never tried before and will never forget! We felt like staying with good all friends!

Friendly staff and nice location on the seaside. The rooms are clean and wide.

I got intoxicated by the schrimps cocktail. 2 days sick stuck in bed. And 20 to 30 minutes to get your order is too long.

One of the most incredible hospitality experiences I’ve had in a while. I enjoyed my stay so much that I ended up extending it for two more nights, and the team was incredibly helpful and accommodating with the changes. Roshan, Nihal, Ishan, and many others were some of the most amazing staff I’ve come across, always friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They really made the stay feel special. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting.

Piękne położenie hotelu, tuż przy plaży. Przyjemnie zaaranżowana cześć plażowa dla gości, wspaniała obsługa, bardzo czuła na wszelkie prośby, pomocna. Pokoje duże z bardzo wygodnym łóżkiem.

Żeby się dostać do Mirissy konieczny był tuk tuk, ale jeśli wolisz spokojne miejsce, to jest idealnie.

Väldigt trevlig personal och familjärt litet boutique ställe/ villa. Kan varmt rekommendera om man vill ha fräscht, hemtrevligt och familjärt boende

Der besonders einladende Empfangsbereich mit Blick auf das Meer!

Kleines Hotel, wenig Zimmer, sehr familiäre Atmosphäre. Tolle Mitarbeiter, sehr bemüht. Herrliche Aussicht, gute Liegen. Tiere Hotelstrand (Warane, einmal eine Schlange, Vögel, Eichhörnchen). Mit Glück sehen Sie eine Schildkröte beim Eierlegen. Freundliche Zimmer und Atmosphäre. Tuktuknähe zu Mirissa (ca 1 Euro pro Richtung mit Pickmetarif, 7min Fahrt). Tolle Ausgangslage für Ausflüge (Sinharaja Regenwald, Yala Nationalparksafari, Städte und Strände des Südens). Wir hatten mit den Mitgästen Glück und waren viel allein am Strand. Am letzten Tag wurde es voll - mit riesiger Inderfamilie. Inder, Russen und Chinesen sind vielerorts in Sri Lanka, sehr unangenehme Hotelgenossen. Bett war okay, könnte weicher sein, aber in Ordnung. Für unsere längeren Ausflüge wurde auch Fahrer zu guten Preisen organisiert. Frühstück schmeckt. Aber muss am Vortag gewählt werden und Auswahl nicht groß.

Zimmer sehr hellhörig. Direkt an der Straße, entsprechend viel Straßenlärm va Dauergehupe.

The service incredibly good and nice. Breakfast and dinner a dream. The pool amazing

We paid too much … other paid the half for the same period. They gave us the smallest room. You cannot swim in this beach, NO sunset from

Beach

Over priced

Muy serviciales y bonito

Absolutely stunning property, completely beachfront!! We had turtles laying eggs right out the front of the hotel. The staff were exceptional and the food was amazing. You will not be disappointed in your stay here. 100% recommend.

Nothing

This hotel creates a friendly and warm atmosphere whilst retaining its exclusive setting. The staff are always smiling and helpful and the view is fantastic. Great food too.

Beautiful little hotel. The staff were amazing - all incredibly nice, attentive, and very professional. The food was fantastic and the location on the beach was a dream. We loved our stay and would definitely go back.

The beach is beautiful but like other open beaches along the south coast, the currents and waves can be strong. 200m up from the hotel is a rock pool that is safe for kids, but kids can't swim right out front of the hotel. Mirissa beach is only a short tuk tuk away as well, which is also good for weaker swimmers.

Staff are amazing, super helpful! 10/10

Smell of sewage in the entire room, unbearable! Old room furniture and warm out bed linen

Beautiful property, amazing location and very attentive staff.

Beautiful quite location great staff

We arrived at Vis Ta Vie early in the morning and were welcomed so warmly that it immediately felt like home. The atmosphere is intimate and personal, far from the feeling of a typical hotel. The staff were caring, attentive, and genuinely kind. Our room was immaculate, tastefully decorated, and offered a beautiful balcony view that made our stay even more special. We truly had a wonderful and memorable experience here.

From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed by the friendliest staff. The breathtaking ocean view from the lobby elevates the check-in process into a beautiful experience. The staff are genuinely helpful, even assisting with arranging auto-rickshaws or tuk-tuks for your local commute. This property offers a unique mix of sheer luxury and comforting homeliness, with the calm ocean being its most special feature !

The food was super good. The staff was super friendly and accomodating.

This is such a charming, cozy hotel with only 6 rooms, which makes the whole stay feel almost private and exclusive. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very well maintained. The hotel is right in front of the beach, and the beachfront area is clean, well maintained, and perfect for relaxing. The staff — including the manager — are incredibly friendly, always smiling, and genuinely helpful. They truly go above and beyond for any request. They even prepared a breakfast box for us on the morning we left early for whale watching, which was so thoughtful. Breakfast at the hotel was also delicious: fresh fruits, tea/coffee, and a great selection of dishes. We had dinner one night as well — the seafood platter was super tasty! A lovely stay — highly recommended! 🐬✨

This hotel is so perfect, it is very comfortable and cozy. The staff of this accommodation is really great, always willing to help and truly friendly. It is located at the beach, which is beautiful and quit. The food of this kitchen is amazing and we liked all the meals, the sri lankan rice&curry was the best we had in sri lanka. Highly recommended!

Nothing, everything was good.

Beautiful small hotel- big spacious room with sea view and large balcony. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Very clean, powerful air con in the rooms. Pool is a perfect temperature.

No hair conditioner provided in the shower. Because it is a small hotel, breakfast is a preorder main with set accompaniments, at a prearranged time. This is fine but a little less flexible, and for us meant unknowingly ordering fake bacon and sausages (which you then feel obliged to eat when presented with). It surprised us because everywhere else in Sri Lanka has been real crispy bacon, but it is a very small complaint! The next day I ordered pancakes instead and they were lovely.

Amazing food! • Exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff • Personalized attention and care • Welcoming and comfortable atmosphere • Beautiful ocean-view rooms • Relaxing overall experience • Nothing to fault • Strong desire to return

超赞的酒店装饰风格，各方面都让我在斯里兰卡的行程添亮不少。无论面朝大海的景致，还是酒店内提供的服务及硬件设施。都很棒！！

Everything was great. Roshan, the chef/manager/ planner, was very welcoming and wonderful. The room was beautiful and huge. The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely phenominal. We would love to visit again.

The staff, food, and the service were beyond any expectations. Roshan, Nuwan, Ruwan, and Ishan took care of us very well. Definitely, a place we will come back.

Agradable y bonito. Habitación grande y cama muy cómoda. Vistas espectaculares. El desayuno también nos gustó.

Estaba en obras, olía a humedad. Un poco caro para lo que es y está lejos del centro de Mirissa.

Good location and friendly staff

This place is just amazing! Spotlessly clean and just dreamy! Rooms were huge with excellent air-conditioning. Staff were so attentive to anything and everything we requested. Roshan you are a star! His meals were first class!! Location right on the beach. 6min tuk tuk into Mirissa.

Nothing tbh. Although you cant swim in the sea which we knew. However, there is a reef area further up the sand that is suitable for a dip but not sea swimming. Would recommend a fold up table tennis.

Privacy

Très bon séjour passé dans cet hôtel malgré que je sois tombé malade. Le personnel a été au petit soin avec moi du début à la fin. Un grand merci à eux et mention spécial à Ruwan qui a été d’une gentillesse incroyable !

This accommodation was truly spectacular. My mom and I stayed for two nights, as we wanted to explore the south beach area of the island and visit different beaches. The place felt more like a personal home than a hotel, with a marvelous location right in front of the beach, a beautiful swimming pool, and a welcoming reception area. The staff were incredibly attentive, providing excellent service and even surprising us with complimentary treats like mocktails and delicious ice cream while we relaxed by the pool. It truly felt like a peaceful oasis. The breakfast was spectacular possibly the best we had during our entire 10-day trip in Sri Lanka with a wide variety of options to choose from. The room was always immaculate and spacious, featuring a very comfortable bed and all the amenities needed to meet every requirement. It genuinely felt like being in our own vacation home. We will definitely return if we visit Sri Lanka again and I highly recommend this accommodation .

Made us feel like home from first arrival. Roshan cooking and great service let us relax with true Sri Lankan hospitality

the staff was so kind

Das Hotel hat mir ausgesprochen gut gefallen. Es liegt in einer schönen Lage, mit angenehmer Atmosphäre, und die Zimmer sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Essen war einfach einzigartig, ein Genuss bei jedem Besuch. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das Personal: stets freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Ganz besonders aber verdient Roshan eine Erwähnung. Dieser Mann lebt seinen Beruf mit voller Leidenschaft. Er war immer für mich da, kümmerte sich herzlich um alles und organisierte oder besorgte mir Dinge, ohne dass ich je darum bitten musste und das ganz ohne Gegenleistung. Für ihn ist dieser Einsatz selbstverständlich, für mich jedoch keineswegs, und genau das schätze ich sehr. Ich halte Roshan und seine Arbeit in höchsten Ehren. Wegen dieses außergewöhnlichen Services und der gesamten Hotelqualität kann ich das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

The best staff I’ve experienced in the five hotels / resorts I stayed during our trip to Sri Lanka. Special shout out to Rohan (Chef / Manager) who was an all rounder. He was not only kind but during our stay ensured we don’t feel short of anything and made us feel like a VIP guest.

Would have been nice to have some facilities but can’t complain since it’s a small beach villa with 6 rooms.

It was a really hood stay. The room is spacious and quiet with a great view. Good breakfast and the hotel’s staff were very nice and helpful

Nothing

Nothing We arrived to the property to find it unsuitable from description on booking.com. Not anything we wanted and smelt damp and was dirty

Room was beside the public toilet & next to reception. On ground floor no view as requested. It said it was near town which was untrue.

Couldn’t recommend this place any more, every staff member was well presented, polite and attentive. The whole villa was immaculate and the pool area was very well maintained and overall spotless. The food cooked my chef Roshan was the best food we had in the whole of Sri Lanka and he would go above and beyond to change items to be more suited to what you need.

The only small part that was not stated when booking was that alcohol can’t be served however there is a wine shop 2 minutes down the road walk and the staff members also were happy to go and collect the alcohol list if that’s what you would prefer, this was not a problem to us and did not affect our stay but is something to think about when booking.

One of my best stays ever was in this beautifully setup and well maintained property. The room size was very big and spacious ( Room - Turtel ) The highlight of my stay was the food served by the chef who makes each and every dish with perfection and as per your requirements. To top on that, we had a beautiful sea view from our balcony and dining area. The place is such a vibe.

Hardly anything to say. I had a minor issue with my rooms a/c, and they changed my room immediately.

Wonderful place for vacation, clean rooms, good wi-fi, excellent breakfast and very nice staff. thank you!

the only thing which was great was staff, they tried to save every situation, they dont have any alcoholic drinks there so they offered us they will go and by it in shop close by, they let us have breakfast after official time as we spent longer time at the whale watching as planned, they tried their best - thats only reason i dont let the lowest rating

The place is nothing like five star hotel as mentioned in description, the place is just a small building with beach access and 5-6 rooms, next to it is plot full of garbage from one side and other side similar building, there are no 24 hours services as hotel should have - this is definitely misleading combination of photos and booking rating, they didnt have drink from menu - small menu with 5 mocktails and 5 soft drinks, but they could not make some of that, the room with terrace is not really terrace, its room with walls connected to the reception, so you hear all the noice, the terrace is terrace of the restaurant so no privacy, you cant even let your curtains open as everybody can see inside your room, the entry to the room is just next door to the toilet, the bathroom was big but with no logic, you dont have hanger for the towels, it is clean but thats all, one big "room" is at the same time reception, lobby, breakfast room, dinner room and all combined, just a bad dream, i didnt go to another hotel just because we had luckily booked only one night.

The food was amazing and the service was exceptional, they were very helpful with arranging transport, activities and helping wherever we needed. The location was also perfect about a 5 min tuk tuk from the centre of Marissa which was perfect as it was far less chaotic in this location.

Loved everything about this place. The manager and floor staff made it excellent. Felt like a privately catered villa and instantly welcomed. Staff in Sri Lanka usually focused all questions and service on my husband first but the staff in this villa, catered to our comfort equally. Which was really appreciated by us both. It was my husband’s birthday whilst we stayed here and on request, they arranged a cake, sang happy birthday and decorated the bedroom… hilariously all to me! As it was my birthday the day before, his the day after. So our middle day has now become ‘our’ shared day, thanks to the staff here. Love this place.

The staff are so friendly especially Mr Liil. Thank you !

Beautiful hotel, very accommodating and friendly staff, lovely breakfast, clean rooms, exceptional stay! The staff were so lovely letting us check out late and have breakfast late due to us going whale watching early that morning and not arriving back until 12pm.

Everything was perfect!

Beautiful room & location. The beach view is amazing
