Molt amable tot el personal, ens van trucar al tuk tuk per anar de ruta, al taxi per anar a l'aeroport, el massatge excel·lent, molt reconemdable.
l'esmorzar una mica just.
The staff is very helpful
There were some spider webs which could be cleaned
El tamaño de la habitación, la piscina y el personal. Puedes ir tranquilamente a la playa y a los restaurantes de la playa andando tranquilamente. Alojamiento a tener en cuenta.
Le + pour nous a été la taille et la déco des chambres. Le personnel c est plié en 4 pour nous faire plaisir. La piscine est bien adapté.
Les points -, pas de plage direct pour un resort et un peu loin du centre.
The breakfast was decent.
Our initial room was leaking, so we were move to another room at the end of the hall. The room was spacious but poorly designed. There were no chairs or dresser in the room to even sit down to write a memo. The ventilation in the bathroom is poor. The fan speed could not be adjusted. It was either super fast or zero, nothing in between.
The staff and owner were available and involved in solving any problems or challenges. The hotel design is very colonial and has a rich history behind it. The pool area is awesome and amazing!. Breakfast options although limited, were very delicious especially their egg hoppers and pancakes.
The facility could use a bit of an upgrade in terms of electricity connections, mirrors etc which can easily allow them to have a perfect combination of great historical heritage and mordernistic vibes.
We arrived late, and the owner found something for us to eat and brought it over. Also, on the morning we checked out, she let us make the most of the room and the pool. She was truly very kind.
La habitacion y la gente que lo lleva.
Todo perfecto
It’s quite close to the beach and centrally located. The hotel has a nice pool bar. The owner is very friendly and suggests places to party (she has some tuk tuk drivers on standby who will tell you where the best party of the night is going to be at, so definitely check with her before you decide on a place!), she also helps you organise water activities if you’re interested in that. We got a free upgrade to a suite room as it was available. Great stay overall!
Everything was good.
Good accommodation with a lovely pool. Family rooms were of a good size and helpful staff. Pool was fabulous with loungers and bar if needed. Breakfast was a very good buffet style. Very near top end of Mirissa beach with nice restaurants and bars. Each walk to Hidden (watch as money was stolen from our bag there) and Secret beach too.
A little run down but no issues
Personnel accueillant et chaleureux Massage bien
Beaucoup de mouches autour du buffet Piscine à améliorer
We stayed in a standard double room at Handagedara Resort and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was tastefully presented, clean, and very comfortable, offering a calm and relaxing retreat. The swimming pool and beautifully maintained gardens added a lovely touch of luxury and made the property feel peaceful and refined. Considering the quality of the stay, the price was excellent value. A special mention to Priyanga, the owner, whose warmth and genuine hospitality truly elevated our experience. He looked after us with great care and attention. A wonderful place to unwind—highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.
Great location, only 5 mins walk to the beach and other restaurants. Pool was lovely and clean and we have enjoyed it every day. Delicious breakfast, very friendly staff and would go extra mile to make you happy. It was out daughter birthday during our stay and she had table decorated for the breakfast with birthday card and cake.

La proximité avec les plages, la gentillesse des propriétaires et du personnel.
Rien
Friendly
Non
the pool was nice, bathrooms could use airconditioning though
the no option to close the bathroom window to have it cool, breakfast staff attitude wasnt friendly
Fantastisk poolområde, stort værelse til 4 personer, fin morgenmad. Gåafstand til strand, havn og hovedgade
Hovedhuset er lidt mørkt og slidt, vi havde myrer på værelset (de forsøgte at sprøjte)
Lovely room, hotel location and staff - what more to ask?
Great great pool Staff very attentive
The water in the shower was cold nut eventually sorted out by staff. Perhaps a little more variety at Breakfast
Staff lovely and very helpful, very comfortable bed, good location
I liked the stay overall and the location is very good everything is near just a few meters away
The bathrooms are transparent not even a curtain or even the blinds, it gets uncomfortable at times. Also the breakfast menu could be better
Dit is een zeer mooi resort dat ook Spa activiteiten aanbiedt. Er is een dubbel zwembad omgeven door een mooie tuin met bar en ligbedden. Het personeel is vriendelijk. Het hotel is smaakvol ingericht met diverse tuintjes en waterpartijen. Het ontbijt is uitgebreid en wordt in buffetvorm aangeboden. Indien je een walvissensafari overweegt, weet dat je mogelijk enkel de rug van één walvis ziet. Dit heeft mij wat ontgoocheld. Er zijn 2 stranden op wandelafstand.
Mirissa is bijzonder toeristisch en is vooral bedoeld om van het strand te genieten. We hadden het gevoel dat je niet noodzakelijk in Mirissa moet zijn voor de mooiste strand ervaring. Om te surfen zijn we met Tuktuk naar een ander strand gereden buiten het centrum.
Resort and swimming pool, breakfast
So much mosque, no ac lobby and reception
The location of the hotel is quite good. It is about a 5-minute walk to the whale-watching harbor and around a 20-minute walk to Secret Beach, which makes it convenient for nearby activities. The hotel has a swimming pool, but the water looked a bit dirty during our stay, and we did not see anyone using it. We booked a double room but were given a family room instead. The room was very spacious, and the Wi-Fi signal inside the room was excellent. Both dinner and breakfast were of good quality, and we enjoyed the meals very much.
Some of the power outlets were quite loose, and they were installed rather high on the wall, which made charging devices a bit inconvenient. The surface of the bathtub showed clear signs of wear. In addition, the duvet on the bed was not very comfortable.
Staff, facilities and location
Wifi in our room was non existent but otherwise everything was great
Amazing staff! Special thanks to Priyanga who was always there and helped to organize day trips and everything else. We appreciated it a lot. Hotel pool is very nice. There is a nice nearby (5 min walk), also, some very nice and cosy restaurants from a walking distance.

Easy access to beach and restaurants

Big room and large toilet & bathroom.
On the day of move in, the Wi-fi is broken down but did not tell me. As a result, no TV and internet can be used at the first night.
Emplacement
Hôtel vétuste, personnels suffisants, petit déjeuner très sommaire, cafards dans la salle de bains
Det ligger godt i forhold til at tage på hval safari

Great pool, convenient breakfast, spacious rooms.
Bathrooms could use a facelift.
La piscina increíble! Dejan toallas para tu estancia El personal muy amable Buena ubicación Desayuno muy bueno, de los mas completos de nuestro viaje
El baño tenía olor a humedad, y en nuestro caso el aire acondicionado no funcionaba (pero la habitación estaba bien de temperatura con 30 grados fuera )
Für uns als vierköpfige Familie war das Zimmer sehr groß, ebenso der Pool. Die Lage macht es möglich vieles zu Fuß zu erreichen. Insbesondere die Eigentümerin hat uns durch Infos weitergeholfen und vieles möglich gemacht. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt.
The staff were incredibly friendly and polite throughout our stay. The pool was very clean and clear, with plenty of comfortable sunbeds and fresh towels available. Breakfast was excellent, and the beach is only a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The rooms were very clean and serviced every other day. Overall, the highlight of our stay was definitely the warm and welcoming staff and the pool.
The staff was nice & helpful, they were flexible about our check out time. The location is perfect, close to everything, the bar and the pool area are really nice and clean. We’d definitely stay here again.
It’s a bit inconvenient that the sink is not in the bathroom, but other than that everything was perfect.
The only good thing at the hotel was the staff at the restaurant.
The images on the booking.com did not match with the room that was allotted to us. The description on the website clearly states that the room has a garden view. However, as you can see in the pictures, there was no garden view whatsoever. The room felt suffocating and depressing to be honest. The odour in the washroom was unbearable. We made it a point to come back to the hotel only for sleep but even that evaded us thanks to the miserable amenities at offer.
Swimming pool lovely. Reception staff friendly and helpful.
Breakfast served until 9-30 but there was not much left by 9. Same selection everyday. Staff some days a little disinterested. Spa not as expected as massage room more like a cell than a spa!
Delightful buffet breakfast, offering a wide variety of options to suit every taste. From fresh tropical fruits and local dishes and international favorites, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The pool area offers a serene and inviting atmosphere.large, heated pool The hotel was lovely, and the rooms were cozy and clean. The hotel spa and wellness facility will give you extra comfort. It was even better than expected Without a doubt, I would return there..
Nothing at all
Stayed in one of their Family Rooms, which was tastefully decorated with a traditional touches and modern comforts. Each room features air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a private balcony. The resort also offers Deluxe and Standard rooms, all designed to ensure a restful and memorable stay. The outdoor swimming pool is a true highlight perfect for lounging in the sun. Buffet Breakfast is generous and varied, catering to both Western and Sri Lankan tastes. For those seeking deeper relaxation, the on-site Ayurveda Spa offers a range of traditional treatments—from herbal oil massages to full-body therapies designed to rejuvenate both body and mind.
Handagedara Resort was the perfect blend of comfort and character. Our Family Room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The pool area was peaceful and surrounded by greenery—ideal for relaxing. We loved the breakfast, especially the fresh fruit and local tea. Friendly staff and a great location made it a truly memorable stay.
Restaurant staff were good. A part of the property close to the dining area and next to the road has a garden view / access. Owner is very involved and she did her best to take care of us- which we really appreciated.
While the property calls itself a resort, it looked more like a family run place. It lacked basic facilities like intercom, making communication tough. Reception staff wasn’t up to the mark and they are usually not available whenever you actually need them. Check-in took a lot of time. And even after the delay, we had to remind them to fill up the hand wash. The room given to us was on 2nd floor with stairs (and no lift). Would have appreciated if we were given this clarity before booking the place.
Das Hotelzimmer war sehr geräumig und ordentlich. Die Lage des Hotels ist ebenfalls gut. Man läuft ca. 10 Minuten zum Strand wie auch ins Zentrum.
Das Hotelpersonal hätte ein weniger freundlicher sein können.
La amabilidad y gentileza del personal. La cercanía a las playas y el poder disfrutar de unos masajes excelentes. El Puerto para tomar el barco para el avistamiento de ballenas y delfines está al lado. Guardamos un gran recuerdo.
Very friendly staff. Nice pool area. Location is good. Great spa treatments.
Breakfast and breakfast area could be improved.
מלון שהוא משפחה ונותנים לך להרגיש חלק מהמשפחה תמיד אדיבים ומסבירי פנים
A very beautiful property, away from the city noise. Loads of Peacocks on the property. Priyanga and her staff were very helpful throughout our stay. They helped us with the Safari, local activities and suggestions for restaurants. They have a good spa too. Rooms are well maintained and clean. Pool was clean. Quick service of food too. Breakfast buffet was continental and had a decent spread.
They could have given toiletries for the washrooms. Also a suggestion to include more local cuisine in the breakfast buffet.
The room was very clean and nice. Breakfast was decent and met our expectations. The staff were extremely pleasant, helpful, and did a great job overall. We felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay.
The water in the pool was quite dirty on the first day but it was better after cleaning. Our room which faced the street was quite noisy from the early morning.
В отеле были большие номера чисто бассейн и работал бар внизу а ещё очень неплохой спа сделали там два массажа
А в номере было очень много муравьев ванна была не совсем удобная и месторасположения конечно не очень выгодно ну в целом неплохо
tout était parfait juste un petit reproche mettre des rideaux devant la baie pas un voilage des rideaux et ce sera excellent même exceptionnellement pour le tarif et le petit déjeuner extra et le jardin magnifique tout est propre merci 🙏
le rideau de chambre
Schönes Hotel, aber Zimmer sind sehr unterschiedlich. Die zimmer im EG neben dem Pool sind auch ok, aber die im 1. Stock erscheinen viel größer und luftiger aufgrund der hohen Decken. Der Pool ist schön angelegt und die beiden Hütten sind sehr angenehm im Schatten. Frühstück ist lecker und wird auch nochmal aufgefüllt, selbst wenn man kurz vor Ende kommt. Poolhandtücher bekommt man ebenfalls.
Der Pool wirkt etwas schmutzig immer. Die Filter reinigen nicht stark genug und wälzt die große Menge Wasser nicht gut genug um. Das muss man dringend verbessern.
De ligging, dichtbij strand en restaurantjes. Schoon accommodaties, ontbijt was prima. Gezellige tuin met mooi zwembad
The resort was nice and had everything we needed. Breakfast was tasty. Location very close to the main beach
There were quite a few mosquitos in the room
Mysigt, välstädat och trivsamt.
Fick aldrig Wi-Fi att fungera.
Our stay was absolutely perfect. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The hotel felt safe at all times, and its location was great we could easily walk to many places nearby. One of the best parts of our stay was how the team organized activities and tours for us. They helped us with so many things and were always ready to assist with a smile. The food and drinks were also delicious and satisfying. A special thank you to the women at the reception they were incredibly welcoming, kind, and friendly, and truly made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We felt like we were at home throughout our stay. Everything was thoughtfully taken care of. Highly recommended, and we would definitely stay here again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The staff is very nice and they are trying to do all it's possible to make your stay very enjoyable. The massage I took was exceptional.
There were some issues with the hot water, but after signaling it the problem was solved. Also the first room that we got had a kind of a mold smell or maybe it wasn't aired enough and we asked to change it and the lady from reception was very nice and offered us other options immediately.
Quiet place, good breakfast
Card payment had an additional cost
Superb location, only 5-10 minutes from Mirissa beach. Staff were very attentive and the hotel was clean. The pool area certainly a feature point
Staff walking up down stairs and communicating to each other loud/abruptly yelling over distance disturbed the peace often. Air conditioner tended to leak
A medence és környezete, a szobához tartozó terasz közvetlen kijárattal a kertre, szálláshely csodaszép növényekkel teli udvara, a figyelmes és segítőkész személyzet és az, hogy közel volt (kb. 200 m )a fürdésre és hosszú sétára invitáló óceánpart. A szálláshelyre vezető utcában nagyon sok apró hangulatos “étterem” van melyekben igen nagy a választék, mindenki megtalálhatja a számára megfelelő ételt.
Hiányzott, hogy nem volt szék a szobában, sajnos nem volt melegvíz a mosdónál és a terasz felőli ajtó nem záródott rendesen, illetve a wifi nagyon gyenge volt.
No lift, lots of mosquitoes and no telephone to ring the front desk
