Handagedara Resort & Spa Reviews

A wonderful property, thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the owner & her staffs were especially friendly & helpful, steps from the beach & Main Street, many wonderful restaurants nearby, good breakfast, only minus is our room has no TV, the electric kettle’s cover was broken, I almost got scalded. Hope they will replaced it before someone got hurt. Overall, love the place, absolutely will recommend it!!!

It feels okay, the service is good, but the crows are so noisy, my god. Outrageous. . . . . . . . . . . . ? . . . . . . .

Very clean and new hotel, 500 meters walk to the beach, you won't be disturbed by the waves when sleeping at night. I read some reviews saying the pool water is dirty, I tested it myself, it's actually quite clean, good environment, good location, and the room settings meet the requirements. Very cost-effective

Good location It's not far from the beach, the pier and the bus station. The room is clean and has a swimming pool

Very clean, breakfast is buffet, very good. I also had a massage, which cost 20usd and was very comfortable. The room feels better than the pictures 😀Exceeded expectations, the room is very big.

The swimming pool is beautiful and close to the pier. Whale watching is 60 knives, and children are half price. The resort itself is very beautiful, but the busiest part of this place is around the beach. I paid 500 rupees for a tutu from the supermarket at Dachukou. I originally booked the Sky Garden Mini Hotel with my friends. When I checked in and no room was available, Ctrip offered to switch here for free. The sky garden where my friend lives is a trap. Thanks to Ctrip, it has been filled up. Ctrip’s service is great.

The environment and service are pretty good, quite satisfactory

The swimming pool is dirty, but everything else is okay

Pleasant view and comfortable room worth collecting

The hotel is lovely and quiet with a pool and relaxing area, restaurant serving nice breakfast and rooms of a decent size. Great location for short walk to whale watching company office and pick up point, for the beach and for restaurants. Stayed with family so we had 2 rooms booked. Got one allocated on ground floor and the other one on the first floor, both good size and with en-suite shower room and facilities. Went to shady lane cafe whilst staying in Mirissa and would highly recommend. The hotel does provide an iron on request but no ironing boards are available. Dark when heading back to hotel after evening meal hotel so the small torches we had with us were a necessity. Great service from all at the hotel including directions when needed to close-by amenities.

Nice place and service. Rooms are big and clean, only mats infront of the bed should be renewed. With a tuctuc for 300-500 Rupee you get to the surfing spots near by. Even the owner is very helpful, we forgot a T-Shirt and she was sending it us. Thank you again!

we stayed at this hotel for three nights and had a nice time. The pool area is fantastic and I can imagine at the height of summer, it’s a great spot for convening. The location is good as it’s slightly out of the way from the noise of the main beach. Unfortunately despite the great pool area, the rooms are a slight disappointment. They are functional and basic which we were surprised by given it was one of the more expensive hotels we opted to stay in whilst in Sri Lanka. The bathroom in particular is very basic. The breakfast was good. Overall it was an ok stay, but I expect you can get better value for money elsewhere in Mirissa.

We loved our stay at this hotel, which welcomed us very well. The hotel is very well located, close to restaurants and beaches. We rented motorbikes from a shop on the same street and toured the entire south of the island. The pool is very pleasant, the breakfast is also as it has everything you need to start the day off right. Fruit, bread, pancakes, a chef cooking all types of eggs, natural juices, coffee, cakes, etc. The best thing about the hotel is all the staff. They are very friendly young people, who work very well, who help us with everything, very sweet and very helpful. Whatever you need, they always run to help you with a smile on their faces. I ask everyone to read my review and book this hotel to be kind to these young people. I especially want to thank Chef San Jee who treated us very well. For 4 nights we arrived late at the hotel, and he managed to cook our dinner for 10 people. We loved Chef San Jee's food. The Kothu Rotti cooked by him is divine. Another interesting detail is that there are peacocks and we get used to their presence.

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. The gardens are so beautiful and well maintained and the pool is outstanding and suitable for kids and adults. It is located away from the main beach (but not a long walk at all) and is also a great spot to stay if you want to be near Secret Beach (less than 5 mins by tuk-tuk, or walk-able if you can climb the steep hill). It really is a lovely spot to get away from the over-touristy parts of Mirissa and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
