Reviewed By 957carmenmarian

We had initially booked at the sister hotel in a street facing room but had a free upgrade to an ocean facing room at the Lantern Boutique. We stayed for 5 nights and had the best time. The room had a great view, it was clean and spacious. There were also two adorable and friendly dogs that liked to hang out by the beach area of the hotel. The ocean wasn’t swimmable this time of year, but we were happy with the pool and there were other beaches a few minutes away that were safe for swimming. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, they arranged everything for us to go to Yala national park and even packed breakfast for us to take with since we had to leave really early. The restaurant and bar at the hotel were also really nice, we loved the Lantern breeze cocktails, hot butter calamari, and Sri Lankan breakfast. There are also lots of other nice restaurants and bars in walking distance. We had a very memorable experience and will definitely return next time we are in Sri Lanka!

Comfortable room and super location

Reviewed By ShiromiL

What you see is what you get at Neo Bay and that’s the kind of humble approach that makes the hotel and its owner Samith a success. You can’t beat the location of this hotel, it’s just across the street from a safe surf spot and the lovely ocean. The restaurant wasn’t open, but Samith recommended all the best places to enjoy a meal on every budget level. The rooms on the lower level are clean and spacious with good water pressure from the shower. The beds come with a helpful mosquito net, but as long as the doors and windows stay closed, this is hardly needed. The upper level room, has a nice sitting area that overlooks the ocean. Traveling alone in your home country should be a safe and joyful experience and with friendly people like Samith, this is easy to accomplish. Highly recommended.

Vogel Nest

Awesome place, Awesome Host

Reviewed By Ryan C

I stayed at Vogel’s Nest during surfing season in February. I stayed in the room with the Air Conditioner and it was awesome. The room is clean and comfortable and the breakfast is great! The location is great too, a short walk from tasty restaurants and the relaxing beach. If I come back to Midigama I will 100% stay at Vogel’s Nest.

Surf Orchid Villa

Very nice place, near the beach

Reviewed By Traveler_from_Zagreb

Very nice people will provide you heartworming hospitality in their simple but well equipped rooms. No Air Conditioning, but a ceiling fan does the trick Clean and spacy bathroom. Just few meters from the beach which is a great plus. Lovely seating area on the porch. Highly recommend.

Amible Guest Home

Very new and clean

Reviewed By wallflower69

Pls support this new guesthouse! Affordable price and pretty good location, a short walk to the supermarket and the lovely mirissa beach. Do note there is no signboard as it's a homestay, so just look out for the colour of the main gate through the pictures on agoda. Very hospitable guesthouse ladyboss who kindly kept our clothes for us when it rained. Very new home with great wifi and clean bedroom, but bathroom is not attached. No hot water shower but that's ok in mirissa climate. They speak broken English but we still could understand each other :)
