"We booked the most expensive room which cost a fortune. When we arrived the room was occupied as they had sold it twice. They put us in the cheapest room with noisy air conditioning and no lock on the patio door. Blaned Hotels.com and offered no compensation or even a courtesy something. "

"The place is absolutely divine! Staff were really good However the only negative is the lack of Sri Lankan cuisine options for breakfast! I also do wish the hotel shared a guide of where to go have other meals as the hotel doesn’t offer this too!"

"The ocean view was very nice. Our room was one of the best and very large, it accommodated 4 people. Everything was very nice we arrived in the low season yet we enjoyed our time. The staff were splendid. We ate all our meals at the hotel restaurant because it tasted so good and the staff were so helpful and friendly."

The property is stunning and beautifully crafted, every corner of the property was picture perfect and aesthetic. The staff were extremely friendly and the manager, Rohan was super helpful - he helped us book our safari and massages. The pool is beautiful and looks exactly like the photos and is clean.

Not on the beach, but probably quieter because of that. Probably needed slightly better guidance about getting to the beach! Room and pool were great. Making up of room between our two nights was a little delayed, but we were allowed into it straight away on first arrival, despite being early. Good information on arrival. Bit odd that evening meals were not available as advised - supposedly just needed an hour's warning, but kitchen was closed by 1800 hrs on first night! Actually did us a favour...

Had a lovely stay here for 3 nights. The lady who runs it is lovely and very helpful and friendly.
I took the option for breakfast and there is a selection to choose from, i was always full after.
The room was a good size and very clean with little touches that make the stay nicer, toiletries, nice towels, air fresher, a little flower and mosquito repellant.
Would recommend and would stay again.

A quite a peaceful hotel near the sea. The staff, especially Nassin was very helpful and accommodating.
Good breakfast with a great view.
The hotel is a short walk to Mirissa beach which has all the bars and restaurants.
Overall a good place to stay, peaceful and away from the crowd.

There are two properties at the address that share the same photos. Jackie’s and randi’s. Regardless, they are both very nice guest houses with a great team and a fantastic bar. Good rock music and the only place in Mirissa for premier league football

Simply wonderful and chilled out boutique hotel! Ideally located for excellent beaches and coastal towns, but tucked away in the rice paddies and jungle. Excellent

The best area to stay in Polhena is right along Polhena Beach itself, particularly the stretch between the main Polhena Beach Road and the coastline.
This area is the heart of Polhena, offering direct access to the beach and its calm, reef-protected waters. You'll find a good selection of guesthouses and small hotels tucked away on side streets just off the main road, many with ocean views. It's a relaxed, low-key spot with local eateries and dive shops scattered along the beachfront.
Couples looking for a tranquil beach escape will find this area perfect. The calm waters are ideal for swimming and snorkelling, and you can easily enjoy sunset strolls along the shore. Many accommodations here offer a laid-back vibe, superb for unwinding.
Families with younger children will also appreciate staying directly on Polhena Beach. The shallow, protected lagoon makes it a very suitable place for children to swim and play in the sea without strong currents.
When is the best time to go to Polhena?
The best time to visit Polhena is generally from November to April, during the dry season, which offers consistently pleasant weather for beach activities and exploring.
During these months, you can expect plenty of sunshine and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying Polhena's calm, reef-protected beaches and swimming in the ocean. The calmer seas are also great for snorkelling and diving, allowing you to easily spot the local marine life, including turtles.
Couples looking for a relaxing beach getaway will find this period particularly appealing. The warm, sunny days are great for unwinding on the sand, enjoying romantic sunset strolls, or trying out water sports together. The relaxed pace of life in Polhena during this season makes it a wonderful escape.
Solo travellers will also appreciate the favourable weather for exploring.
