My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! From the warm welcome we received to the spacious family room with a balcony overlooking the pool, everything was fantastic. The breakfast was delicious and varied, with local dishes prepared just for us. However, the lack of privacy in some bathrooms was disappointing. Overall, it's a great value for money and I can't wait to return.

My stay at Handagedara Resort was quite nice overall. The location was great as it was just a short walk to the beautiful beach, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The service from the staff was excellent, especially from the restaurant manager, who made our dining experience enjoyable. However, there were some areas that could use improvement, such as the Wi-Fi connection in the room, which was a bit weak, and some drainage issues after heavy rain.

I had a wonderful experience at the Handagedara Resort, which is just a short walk from the beautiful Mirissa beach. The deluxe room we stayed in was clean, had a lovely balcony view of the pool, and really provided great value for money. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my stay even better. However, I felt that the dining options for breakfast could be expanded for more variety.

Handagedara Resort is a lovely place for a relaxing beach vacation. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, and I found my room to be clean and well-maintained with good amenities.

Although I enjoyed my time, a few issues with the staff and noise levels made my stay less than perfect.

I had a fantastic stay at this resort, where the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, making it a pleasure to unwind after a day by the pool. While the location is great, a recent change to the local beach scene took away from the vibrant atmosphere. Nonetheless, the dining options were excellent and not overpriced, adding to the overall great value for money.
