I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Anchorage Mirissa during my visit to Sri Lanka. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality.

1. Impeccable Service

The staff at Anchorage Mirissa went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. Special thanks to the manager Madu, and her team, Chamila, Krishan, Sanjeewa, Osadha & Hansana, their service was impeccable. They anticipated my needs and made me feel like a valued guest.

2. Serene Ambiance

The hotel’s design is a perfect blend of modern elegance and functional charm. The lush greenery in the surroundings and the soothing beach front created a serene ambiance. I enjoyed sipping my morning Tea, surrounded by tropical trees—it truly felt like an oasis in the bustling city.

3. Culinary Delights

The hotel’s Chef Chamila deserves a special mention. The breakfast service was a delightful spread of value for money local and international dishes. I relished the freshly baked pancakes, exotic fruits, and aromatic Sri Lankan tea. For dinner, I indulged in local specialties that were bursting with spice and flavor.

4. Comfortable Rooms

My room were clean and equipped with all the amenities I needed. I appreciated the attention to detail. The mosquito issue with tropical climate exists but it is similar with other resorts too, the staff has repellent spray and electric diffuser etc. so please ask the manager.

5. Prime Location

This place is 2-3 hrs drive from the BN International airport so you can either Uber or ask the hotel to arrange for pick up. Buy a local SIM card from the airport, Dialog & SLT mobitel are cheap. I explored the nearby Mirissa beach, Galle Fort, enjoyed sunset strolls along the beach. Visited Cargills & Keels for general shopping.

In Summary:

If you’re looking for a tranquil retreat in Mirissa, I highly recommend the Anchorage Mirissa.

The staff is absolutely friendly and were very helpful even with our late check out providing refreshing opportunities

Breakfast was of good proportion with a variety of fruits and choices such as pancakes or granola.

The location is very convenient and with a 1 minute walk you are at the beach.

The frontside of the hotel looks clean and seems to be maintained not long ago.

The room are modest but needs the essentials such as warm water and airco.

Room was located at the back of the property, with a small verandah overlooking a courtyard. Property had been recently renovated, was clean, excellent air con, and great shower. Decent breakfast and short walk to the beach (even shorter if you stroll through the beach club opposite!).
