- It’s amazing beach front. My favorite stay from our whole trip.
- Everything was great—access to the beach, a fantastic breakfast, and beautiful rooms and service from the staff. Great food. Also lovely Spa services. Clean.
- We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms are nice and clean, and the breakfast was really good — a great way to start the day. The pool was lovely, and the beachfront location made our vacation perfect. The staff were all very nice and friendly, especially Mr. Hansala, who made our stay easy and enjoyable. Thanks for the great experience
Cons -
- The beach was too rough for our kids to get into. I picked beachfront thinking we could I guess we weren’t in the right season
- It was off-season, so not the hotel's fault. Would have loved to swim in the ocean.
- The only advice we would give is for the (lovely) front of house team in the restaurant to keep improving their language skills so service is smoother.

Lovely design hotel and very attentive staff. Such a nice pool and it’s a great location outside of the town. massive breakfast too. A little pricey but we got what we paid for
We absolutely loved our stay at Lantern Boutique Hotel! The rooms were gorgeous – beautifully styled and so comfortable. Its location is ideal: a peaceful stretch of beach just outside of Mirissa, giving you the best of both worlds – tranquillity with easy access to the buzz of the town.The staff were all so lovely and made us feel really welcome from the moment we arrived. There were great options for sun beds, whether you wanted to relax by the beach or the pool. Breakfast was delicious every morning – fresh, varied, and beautifully presented.If I had to be picky, the pool could’ve been a touch cooler – but honestly, everything else was perfect. Would definitely recommend and would love to return one day!
Food wasn’t as good as the rest of the facilities. Spa was spectacular! Staff all very helpful, especially two women on reception and masseuse.
We stayed 10 years ago when it was owned by the original owners.It’s different now.The property has been well maintained.The housekeeping staff were great!The young restaurant staff were not experienced enough, the food was so overpriced and not a good selection.There was only one Sri Lankan dish offered.
Beautiful small hotel on the lovely Marissa beach, very clean and comfortable. Good food and friendly staff.Very touched to be given a birthday cake and the staff sung Happy Birthday to me which made my day!It’s great that the manager is very keen on the turtle conservation programme and we were able to take part in the release of baby turtles into the sea.
his was our best hotel out of 5 hotels we visited during our 2 week stay in Srilanka. my family consists of 2+2, and the ocean suite on the ground floor was perfect for us. It has direct access to the beach, pool and restaurant through the terrace window which is great when you have kids. The water in the pool is very warm so my kids spend long hours there, it also has two shallow areas which can be great for toddlers or for sunbathing in the shallow water. It is about 20 feet long so it was great for swimming too. The sunbeds were very comfortable and the view of the ocean was perfect. The breakfast consisted of coffee or tea, fresh juice, a fruit plate, a choice of muffin, croissants or my favorite banana bread and one of 11 amazing breakfasts a la carte. As for the noise from the street it wasn't a problem for me, you only notice it during the day if you want to spend some time in silence in your room. When you are next to the pool you will not hear it. At night drivers don't use their horns and the noise from the street is similar to the sound of ocean waves. I regret that I couldn't stay longer.
Absolutely everything! The rooms are stunning and extremely functional, beautiful place with many extra delights such as being on a turtle nesting beach.
The only advice we would give is for the (lovely) front of house team in the restaurant to keep improving their language skills so service is smoother.
Beautiful room, but expensive for Sri Lanka. Beach was not the cleanest we saw and you could hear the road noise every now and then.
Restaurant was expensive and not authentic, would have been nice to have more local food. Many dogs around the property but this seems to be the case across many of the beaches. Loungers and sofas outside in common areas were not covered overnight, making them uninviting to sit on.
This was a wonderful place to spend Christmas Day. Huge, comfy rooms, lovely pool and beach area, friendly staff and tasty food. We were even lucky enough to see a turtle come ashore to lay her eggs on Christmas Day after dinner.
The location is fabulous. Beautiful beach in front.The hotel and rooms have wonderful design.The service and food were great.We were looked after by Ajith who was lovely, very attentive and personable.
Sometimes at night you can hear traffic noise.
The beach is a piece of heaven. Beachview rooms are breathtaking Hotel is 5mins away from the main town and yet secluded and calm. The staff is great and very very kind
Nothing!
Facing the beach although there was no mention that the beach is not a swimming beach.. we are beach lovers so we discovered this onsite. The concept is cool! A gem near Mirissa
The food was not worth a penny, I am sorry but its tastless!! We spent money on dinner and lunch for nothing.. the staff dont understand basic English and dont have the customer service we’d expect from a 5*
Expectied a bit more for the Money - a Bit Chess in the Design - restaurant was so so
View was nice
The staff and the view are amazing
Prices are little bit high with the taxes
The staff were exceptional. Nothing was a problem for them. We were very well looked after.
They need to keep a menu in the rooms for room service ordering. Also, need to explain the complimentary soap situation a bit better. We didn't know what that was all about until our last day.
The hotel is really amazing. Eveything was excellent: the view of and closeness to the beach, the cleanliness of the rooms and the restaurant, the food was amazing and varied, the staff always had a smile on their face. Truly one of the best hotels we stayed at.
We could not swim in the sea by the hotel because it is too rough. The location is a bit outside of the center of Mirissa and getting a tuktuk can be difficult sometimes. Minor issues compared to the overall amazing experience provided by the hotel.
We switched here after staying at another hotel and we were so pleasantly surprised. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome, were given early check in. The staff here is top notch, they were so attentive to everything, we really wish we could have stayed for longer to really relax and enjoy ourselves more!
Everything was great.
