Coastline Mirissa Boutique hotel and spa
10/10 Excellent
"Room was nice, staff was excellent, so friendly. The owner even stopped by to chat with us at breakfast. We ate dinner here also. The food was great. There were a lot of stairs up to the hotel, which we decided to take instead of the lift because we loved the exercise. It was like a Stairmaster to our rooms. We were within 5 minutes of a nice, clean beach. Easy walkability, eco-friendly, we'd stay here again and recommend it.
