De eigenaar was super gastvrij. Het eten was heel lekker en het ontbijt zeer uitgebreid. We waren de enige in het hotel tijdens ons verblijf en dus hadden we het prachtige zwembad helemaal voor ons alleen. En niks was te veel gevraagd voor het personeel.

Imagine Villa is the perfect stay for those looking to rest and relax. The hotel’s location is idyllic, nestled outside of the hustle and bustle of Mirissa and sits on a quiet beach. The staff are truly excellent and really go that extra mile for their guests. The accommodation is clean and well maintained. The hotel’s breakfast was delicious, the continental breakfast includes a selection of fruits, homemade pastries and preserves, cheese, eggs etc. The dinner menu was of a high standard and I recommend any guest tries the tuna steak. All in all, we had a fantastic stay at Imagine Villa and highly recommend the hotel.

Nice pool area with a great view on to the beach

Needed some maintenance done on a few things.

Beautiful hotel, fun beach and sea with natural pool for swimming, turtles just offshore, excellent food, great staff, comfortable rooms, shallow pool for my 2year old

Nothing

The hotel was just perfect for some rest & relaxation after travelling for 10 days. Our room was spacious, the pool was lovely and all the food was beautifully presented and delicious.

Having to leave, we could have stayed for longer.

La ubicación, a escasos 50 mts de la playa, es maravillosa. El personal es muy amable y servicial, y la comida está muy muy rica. Citar al Sr. Marnix, belga que habla español y propietario del hotel, es un encanto de persona y un anfitrión de 10.

El único aspecto (poco) negativo sería que algunas partes de las instalaciones ya piden un lavado de cara y/o renovación.

Stunning hotel! Amazing service! All stuff taking care of us as we were VVIp! Breathtaking view and ocean. Spacious bathroom and comfy beds with good quality bedlinen. Special thanks to Vijay ( chef) for treating us to restaurant food every day! Definitely, worth it!

Price for Sti lanka a little high, but worth it.

Location, friendliness and excellent food👏🏻‼️

Very friendly staff. Great view. Relaxed vibe. Delicious food. Everything was just perfect.

Alles top, sehr freundlich sehr sauber, tolle Lage einsamer Strand, super Pool. Kann ich nur empfehlen

Beautiful resort with views of the Ocean from every room, not in central Mirissa which meant it was a very peaceful resort but it was only 5 minutes in a Tuc Tuc. Clean pool area, perfect for relaxing!

El hotel es simplemente perfecto. Está diseñado y decorado de forma que tienes la sensación de estar más en casa que en un hotel. Su propietario es muy amable y también todo el personal. Tiene una piscina ideal, vistas inmejorables, habitaciones cómodas y grandes… y comida que adaptan a tus necesidades y gustos. No se puede pedir más

Absolutamente todo. Tanto que decidimos quedarnos unos días más

from arrival to departure we were treated superbly by Marnix and all the staff. a fabulous property on the beach and the most relaxing stay in Sri Lanka. Very highy recommended

It was a wonderful place to stay. The hotel was very clean, with daily housekeeping, and the pool and garden were well maintained. The staff were amazing — extremely kind, friendly, and helpful, and the owner was especially supportive. The atmosphere was peaceful, quiet, and cozy. There is a nice beach right in front of the hotel, and the center of Mirissa is only about a 5-minute tuk-tuk ride away. We stayed with children and, even without special kids’ facilities, we had a great family stay. Highly recommended for a calm and relaxing holiday.

Gepflegtes Hotel mit sauberen und großen Zimmern, das von einem Belgier geleitet wird. Das Frühstück war gut. Der Pool war sauber. Poolhandtücher lagen bereit, waren allerdings nach dem Waschen noch feucht und deshalb unangenehm beim darauflegen. Es war herrlich ruhig, was den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm machte. Eine Fahrt ins belebte Mirissa dauerte max. 10 Min mit dem Tuktuk und kostete 500-1000 LKR.

Der Strand war etwas enttäuschend, weil Baden aufgrund der Felsen/Steine und starken Brandung nicht möglich war. Das hatten wir anders erwartet. Die direkte Umgebung des Hotels war wenig ansprechend.

Very good location, peace and quiet. Only 9 rooms, so this is a small hotel. Untouched beach with golden sand. The breakfast was amazing with fresh fruits every day. I could try the local spiny lobster, seer fish and soursop juice. Mr Marnix was a great host and finally we got European standard service.

The smile of the waiters were fake, not genuine - I see because I uses to work in hospitality industry. Some of the staff look at you like a piece of meat while wearing a bikini. When you are expected to pay 40 USD for a meal, you don't want to see that the waiter was scretching his balls before putting down the plate in front of you.

Vi hade en fantastisk upplevelse på detta hotell. Går inte att klaga på något alls. På julafton ordnade de en middag för oss alla med fantastisk mat och fyrverkerier på kvällen. Personalen gör allt för att du ska trivas. Vi kan varmt rekommendera detta hotell.

Struttura accogliente, ben tenuta, staff eccezionale.

The staff and the food Very welcoming and supportive at anytime Thank you

Lovely staff, owner is very welcoming. Stunning views of the beach and ocean. Very tranquil setting. Breakfast was great and staff were very helpful

Noise from ocean at night makes it difficult to sleep. Rooms should be better sound proofed. Recommend taking ear plugs!

Spacious room. Good facilities . Great breakfast . Clean pool . beautiful view.

Bugs in the room.

Einfach alles

Gar nichts

Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. Great location on the beach. Excellent breakfast. The swimming pool was good.

Couldn't swim in the sea at the hotel beach, but we had a swimming pool.

Fantastico hotel, fantastico anfitrión. El mejor hotel al que hemos estado en Sri Lanka. Familiar, acogedor, ubicación muy buena, gran trato.

De plek is echt fantastisch, een droomlocatie,wij zijn er een week geweest,heerlijk!Geweldig lief personeel, aardige behulpzame eigenaar.

Het enige wat ik miste was mijn kopje cappuccino in de ochtend maar die kan je ook een paar deuren verder op krijgen.

Hôtel à taille humaine. Belle architecture. Accueil très sympathique. Toutes les équipes étaient à nos petits soins. Nous avons passé un très bon moment. Une valeur sure. Repas excellent. Propreté des lieux.

Piscine un peu trouble, mais nettoyé lors de notre séjour.

It was my second time staying here and I will definitely come again! The staff are truly wonderful - they are always ready with a smile and happy to assist to all queries. The room I had was quiet and spacious - fantastic bathroom with great water pressure in the shower! Internet was strong and worked all around the property. Breakfast was delicious every morning and I ate dinner a few times during my stay - lovely to eat next to the sea with the sound of the waves. Plus the food is really well prepared and price-wise on par with restaurants in the area. It’s in the perfect spot where you are away from the crowds of Mirissa but it’s easy enough to get to with Tuk Tuk or car if you want to go for dinner or the beach, etc. The beach in front of the hotel is not directly for swimming but it’s relaxing to watch the turtles in the afternoon and to take long walks.

We had a great time at this hotel. The staff is very kind and attentive. The location is good if you are looking for a peaceful place out of the crowded streets. The hotel is impeccable.

Very peaceful a little oasis right on the beach. You can't really swim out the front of the hotel as the waves are very rough, but the pool is stunning, and the grounds are lovely. Lots of room of room for kids to run around and play.

Would have been great of staff could have informed us of going rates for a tuk tuk to town. I found out on the last day of my trip that I had been paying WAY too much each time we wanted to head into Marissa. I would recommend downloading the Pickme app and booking transport through this app. as the hotel in a short distance from the main area.

Great spacious clean hotel. Attentive staff, owners often checked on our wellbeing. Quiet beach location which suited us very well. If you want a place a bit away from busy tourist beaches such as Mirissa, this is one of the best.

Privacy, breakfast and services

Quite distance from the city centre

The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable - the bathroom was great. The pool area was lovely, again very clean and very well looked after. The staff were super helpful and always smiling! Great breakfast served on the terrace.

It was right in ocean so that was beautiful and the place itself was quiet and peaceful. It was kept nice and the staff were nice

It isn’t in the heart of Mirissa so you will need to travel to restaurants. The sheets in our bedroom had multiple stains on it and the shower temperature didn’t go very hot. But otherwise nothing major

Quality property on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Second time staying here & I would despite our problems highly recommend.

We were a party of 2 couples. Unfortunately we ALL came down with severe food poisoning on day three of our stay. The source could be directly linked to the hotel kitchen as we had not left the property for the previous 2 days.Management not sympathetic ! Very expensive to stay here, prices somewhat above their station. ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUE : There is an internal fish pond at the entrance of the hotel. The fish were struggling through lack of oxygen in the water due to no filter system. The management were alerted to the issue & understood the problem. Hopefully this has now been resolved. If you do decide to stay in Imagine after reading this review, please check on the health of the fish.

The hotel imagine is located at a calmer part of Mirissa, just a 5 minutes Tuk Tuk ride from Mirissa beach. In the bay in front of the hotel you can spot many huge turtles who enjoy the waves and the calm spot. The staff is amazing, always attentive and super friendly. Having breakfast on the terrace next to the ocean is phenomenal and the the small property makes you feel like you’re home. The owner is always available making sure you are happy and the kitchen is doing an amazing job. We had dinner in the hotel several times and even enjoyed a wonderful new years dinner. Definitely a place you don’t want to leave and a clear recommendation when you want to be around Mirissa but not in the middle of the crowd. 👍🏻

This place was just wonderful! The owners are very very elegant warm persons, with great taste and knowledge of how things should be done., also food wise , you find the best half boiled eggs ever for breakfast!!! They have the cutest dog ever that made my kids trip !!! Baby Toby…The beauty of this place is the calm setting with all comforts , beautiful swimming pool and front beach. However swimming can be dangerous and there is only little places where one can enter the water. Apart from that one can take endless walks with no one around along the beach! In very little time you can reach a more busy beach where you can swim. However, the best is to go to the surfer fun cool beech after Mirissa.

Really nice, well maintained hotel right on the beach. Comfortable, clean room. Great pool. Generous breakfast overlooking the sea was lovely.

Nice location and nice staff! The rooms were perfect!

Outstanding host and staff made the holiday perfect. highly recommend.

Really nice pool and staff

Imagine Villa Hotel was my favorite hotel out of everywhere we stayed in Ella. Upon arrival, the owner and all of the staff greeted us as we got out of our taxi. The owner designed and built the hotel, and this shows in every single detail in the lobby to in the garden to in the rooms. It is a beautiful property in a perfect location. Throughout our short stay at the hotel, both the owner and his staff went completely out of their way to make sure that we had everything we needed and to do anything that they could to make it perfect. I cannot recommend highly enough that everyone coming to Mirissa stay here.

>Beautiful and spacious rooms >Excellent bathrooms >Staff, first class, attentive but not overbearing >Food, very good breakfast and lunches. Didn’t they the evening meal as we wanted to go out >Pool, the largest we have experienced in SL. Lovely and clean. >Beach and access to the ocean, from the hotel garden, 50 metres from the hotel >Mocca - the resident hound! >Owner, friendly guy. Got the feeling he really cares about the experience his guests get >Short Tuk Tuk ride into Marissa

>Not a lot…it’s a great place.

Marnix, Wije and their team did a wonderful job making our stay unforgettable. We really liked the personal touch. We also loved the food very much, ended up having two nights dinners. The curry is amazing, but make sure you are hungry 😊

Wonderful gem in Mirissa. I ended up staying here last minute after checking out of another hotel and this place ended up being the perfect retreat, so much so that I stayed an additional night. The building is a wonderful renovated property and backs out onto the beach. Perfect for sunrise and sunset walks as well as watching the sea turtles swimming in the afternoon. The room was big and comfortable, with all required amenities. The food was delicious; breakfast and dinner with the ocean waves in the background. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Would gladly return!

Oh where should I start! Incredible Hospitality, cleaneness, view... Everything was up to the standard we were looking for after a rough week in hotels that don't deserve a one star rating in Sri Lanka!

It's not something that I didn't like but may be a better sandy beach would have made our stay just Perfect!!

Loved our stay here right from the room, its view, thoughtful touches and attention to detail. It's not super fancy, but really comfortable, clean with spacious bathrooms and your own clothes drying rack which comes in very handy. The property is just a few km away from main mirissa area but very accessible via tuk tuks and private. The property had large open space with a clear view of the beach and access to it. The beach is rocky so probably not advisable to swim but one sure can take a dip and enjoy the waves. The pool was nice and clean with sunbeds and clean towels. The food was excellent. We had dinner two nights, breakfast, including the Sri Lankan breakfast which was very tasty and snacks. The staff was very helpful and courteous. They had a special, outdoor area for the massage, which was again very thoughtfully located with privacy.

Maybe just a suggestion to move away from plastic bottles in the rooms and replace them with refillable, glass bottles.

Extremely clean, quiet location, lovely pool with plenty of Sun loungers and umbrellas. On the beach, the sound of the waves and sea breeze is so relaxing. We had dinner here both nights and it was delicious. Excellent breakfast too cooked to order with fresh fruit, juice eggs, bread and pastries. Staff are very friendly and helpful, always available nothing is too much trouble. A home away from home, one of the best places we stayed in throughout our trip in Sri Lanka (and we stayed in lots of nice places). Quick and easy to get into central Marissa by Tuk Tuk.

Nothing! Would thoroughly recommend

Everything

Nice place with very helpful and kind employees.

Everything location staff food 🥰

Nothing

Absolutely perfect fantastic staff so attentive very professional the hotel was clean and well looked after the bed was amazing better the 6 star hotels owner was their if you needed him salon all fantastic. The food was beyond good all cooked to order from the Siri Lanka prawns to the whole baked fish breakfast to die for fresh fresh pineapple juice mango papaya

All good

Location, room, cleanliness

Booking through booking.com is a rip off as there is a significant mark up while booking through them vs directly. To the ultimate customer it’s a shock to go to a property paying such a lot and not getting moneys worth. Effectively they don’t get what they are paying for. I’m particular to Imagine Hotel - Lack of food choices especially for vegetarians Requirement for pre order of food While the staff did whatever they were asked, they were always a reluctance which is not expected when you compare to similarly other priced properties

Very lovely small boutique hotel. The name “villa” makes very good sense for the feeling you have when staying there. The atmosphere is nice and quiet and relaxed, and the hosts and their staff make you feel at home.

The current in the Ocean is quite strong so you cant swim in the Ocean, but the little natural “pools” formed by the rocks are really nice, so you can get a dip in the Ocean

perfect place to wind down and relax if you are looking for a retreat without night clubs and bars.

The staff and the owner are super friendly and helpful. I arrived at 3 am and they were waiting for me. The entire complex is very clean, and the location is just on the beachfront. There is a big stretch of beach to the right where you can have the beach just to yourself. It is very well maintained, and the room was so spacious and comfortable. You will sleep with the sound of the ocean.

Great location next to the beach. Rooms very clean and tidy with very spacious bathroom. Pool was excellent and staff were very accommodating.

A beautiful sea-facing hotel at a breathtaking location. Very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. The beach is stunning.

Wi-Fi is a bit weak, and can be improved.

Very friendly staff. Very delicious dinner.

The setting, with a fine pool and access to a wonderful beach, was just perfect. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The evening meal and especially the breakfast were just right. We ate at the end of the garden close to the beach

The owner was lovley, very welcoming and attentive. The location is great serene, private beach, closeby to the main beach. The rooms are clean and spacious. Beeakfast was great and the pool area is amazing. 10/10 hotel

The hotel is just brilliant at stealing money

If you want to spoil your vacation, then this hotel is definitely suitable for this. Already on the second day during the cleaning, 600 US dollars were stolen from the safe and 25,000 rupees from the bag. All this happened during the cleaning, when we had breakfast 30 meters from the room. All the money was recalculated before cleaning, as we planned excursions.When we turned to the hostess, who is an elderly European, he immediately ran to his Lankan host to ask for advice. The Lankan was very aggressive and we decided not to get involved. As a result, we decided to change the location the next day. When we came to pay, we were told that despite the whole situation, we had to pay for all the booked days. We decided not to get involved, paid in full and happily left this hell. Keep in mind, all the staff has access to your safe and will gladly search your bags during cleaning, and then they will call you a fool!

One of the cleanest properties I experienced in over 2 weeks holidays in SL

Excellent quiet location with direct access to a beach front (although not able to swim in), just 5 minutes to Polhena Beach great for snorkelling with turtles and Mirissa Beach. Excellent breakfast , lunch and evening menu (daily specials) Lovely swimming pool with pool towels provided. Friendly Owners and staff

Great people,food and views

But tricky walking or swimming in the sea in this area but great to see and hear its roar

I liked the place cause it's located right on the beach, so you can swim in the ocean or in the pool. very comfortable rooms and beds. very polite and attentive staff, very nice owner and manager.

the kitchen is weak. expensive, but not tasty. maybe it would be better to cook local dishes

Very comfy accommodation, excellent bed quality, good bathroom, spacious, modern, spotless with a great swimming pool. Direct access to a characterful little beach with a shallow tidal pool. Breakfasts are good quality and generous and both breakfasts and dinner are served in a delightful and airy little pavillion almost on the beachfront. Excellent staff and owner Manitz is a lovely, gentle person. Definitely recommended.

It’s a short tuk tuk ride to fabulous Marissa swimming beach and slightly longer to lovely Waligama surfing and bathing beach. Both are must do’s but beyond walking distance from the hotel.

Great, calm place on the edge of ocean! We stay here for one week with family! Highly recommend for family with kids and couples slat any age. Here you could find everything for happy holiday time. Great hotel team cleaning rooms every day, towels changed every day, great breakfast services individually. Swimming pool and area around all what you need to chill. Ocean in front of hotel not for swimming, but any moment you could take TukTuk to go to Mirrisa or Weligama beach (5-10 min), price for transfer less than cheap.

Hard to say, just some tips to travelers, please just in case have with you physical credit card to pay for hotel, because bank terminal not support Apple Pay ( that is usual for SriLanka).

I received great service from the staff. The room was large with wonderful amenities: a sitting area, a desk, a mini fridge, hot water heater for tea or coffee, AC, tv with lots of English channels, robe & slippers and a safe. For dinner I had a tuna steak, which was delicious. Breakfast was large with eggs & bacon, fresh fruit and juice and a bread basket.

Very good location to have quite and relaxing break. Good service and excellent food.

Great hotel,good service and breakfast.

Beautiful property right on the ocean. It reminds me of an Italian villa. The pool was wonderful and very clean. The room was clean, modern, and well equipped. The dinner at the outdoor patio (near the ocean) was exquisite -- gourmet food, the best we had in Sri Lanka. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Clean and professional managed. The Sri Lankan breakfast is excellent.

Alles Top - alle sehr freundlich - tolle ruhige Lage

Had a fantastic stay, stunning location right on the beach and a beautiful pool. Room very clean with comfortable bed. Food outstanding. Loved everything about our stay. Friendly staff and great management.

We had a wonderful stay thanks to Marnix and all staff. Fabulous location on the beach, spotless large rooms with comfiest bed. V attentive service by all and great great food. It all made for a really memorable stay and I can so understand why people come back. This is a small hotel and the personal care and attention of the owner just shines through.

Wonderful hotel from every angle: people rooms food facilities service

A lovely hotel in a quiet area. I stayed in room 1 and had a beautiful view of the sea. The staff were friendly and genuinely helpful and cheerful. The pool was always clean and there were enough sun loungers - no need to "reserve" them with towels. Pool towels are available. The wifi reception was good throughout. The hotel room was clean, tidy and very roomy. The facilities were good - TV had a good range of channels, the bathroom had a walk-in shower, the bedroom had good air-conditioning and a ceiling fan, there was a hair-dryer in the bathroom, the safe is free to use. Good sound-proofing - I couldn't hear any noise from the room above or next door. Breakfast was generous and there was a wide range of food available. I would definitely stay at Imagine Villa again and I highly recommend it.

This place is amazing and so accommodating! I cancelled another city stay so I could stay here longer. The food is delicious and the staff is wonderful! Definitely want to return already.

Vi hade en fantastisk vecka med jättegod mat, bra service och avkoppling på den nästintill folktomma stranden precis nedanför hotellet. Vi åt hotellets 4-rätters meny till middag och var mycket nöjda. Kan definitivt rekommendera Imagine villa hotell.
