Paradise Beach Club

The location of Paradise Beach Club is excellent—right on Mirissa beach with a nice pool and plenty of space to relax. The atmosphere feels tropical and inviting, and the beachfront setting is the main highlight of the property. Rooms are comfortable enough, and the staff are generally polite and helpful. However, the dining experience was disappointing for a hotel marketed as 4-star. The breakfast and dinner spread were very average and did not reflect the level we expected. There were no live stations for traditional Sri Lankan dishes such as hoppers or dosa, which is something most guests look forward to when staying in Sri Lanka. On top of that, even a simple bottle of water was not included with the meals—they charged extra, which felt unnecessary and frustrating. In short, the hotel is a good option if you are visiting Mirissa mainly for the beach and poolside relaxation, but when it comes to food and dining standards, there’s definitely room for improvement.

Stayed as a large group of 24. Our hotel room was Beautiful and clean. Food was delicious. Many options to eat - we have 3 major allergies to food groups- fish, nuts and Gluten - but we didn’t get sick. Good service. Right on the beach!

We spent two nights at Paradise Beach Hotel Mirissa and loved the relaxed charm of this colonial-style beachfront property. Just 50 meters from Mirissa Beach, the location is ideal for beach lovers who want to be close to the shore without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle.||Although our stay was met with continuous rain and we had to cancel a few planned activities, we truly enjoyed the slow-paced comfort the hotel offered. We spent time walking along the beach, relaxing by the beautiful swimming pool, and soaking in the rain-soaked views from both our room balcony and the dining area.||The dining area itself is like a large open-sided balcony—airy and inviting, offering stunning views of the sea without compromising on comfort. Our reservation included both breakfast and dinner, and both meals were served buffet-style with a good variety of options to enjoy.||The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The furniture may appear slightly worn, but it added a nostalgic, vintage charm that suited the British colonial look of the hotel.||Another lovely feature is the bar cum activity room, where guests can play billiards, chess, or other games. After a hearty dinner, we enjoyed a quiet game of chess there—such thoughtful amenities made our rainy days all the more enjoyable.||All in all, Paradise Beach Hotel Mirissa is a peaceful, charming retreat that offers great value, wonderful views, and a comforting atmosphere—even when the weather isn’t on your side.

Exceptional views.But poor stranded and quality of rooms and toilets. It is like a lodge . Pillow cover wasn't charged when giving the room. They charged for triple bedroom, but they provided a single mattress instead of a single bed . Bathroom, toilet are so smelly. Uncleaned. Dirty bath towels.Some were smelly. Less choice of dinner. I recommend not to choose this for higher price. If you want, Just go to beach and enjoy. Don't waste your money in this hotel

Upon arrival at Paradise Beach Club Mirissa, I was genuinely impressed by the stunning pool area right at the entrance. The visual impact was immediate and created high expectations for what seemed like it would be a memorable stay. Unfortunately, this positive first impression quickly deteriorated.||||The most concerning aspect of my stay was the apparent discriminatory service I experienced as an Asian guest. The staff consistently showed preferential treatment to other “white colored” guests, greeting them with warm smiles and prompt attention while providing noticeably less enthusiastic service to Asian visitors like myself. ||||This differential treatment was both obvious and unacceptable.||||Operational Failures|| • Priority given to white guests - Staff repeatedly attended to white guests first, even when Asian guests had been waiting longer|| • Luggage handling mishap - The hotel staff forgot to deliver our bags to our room, causing unnecessary inconvenience|| • General service inconsistency - The level of attention and care varied dramatically based on guest demographics||||The dining experience fell short of expectations. While not terrible, the food quality could definitely be improved. For a beachside resort in Sri Lanka, I expected more flavorful and well-prepared meals that would showcase local cuisine.||||What started as a promising stay with an impressive pool area quickly turned into a disappointing experience. The discriminatory service practices overshadowed any positive aspects of the property. No guest should feel unwelcome or receive substandard treatment based on their ethnicity or appearance.||||Paradise Beach Club Mirissa has potential with its beautiful pool and beachside location, but the fundamental issues with staff training and service equality make it impossible to recommend. Until the management addresses these serious concerns about discriminatory practices and improves overall service standards, I cannot endorse this establishment.||||Would I return? No, and I would not recommend this hotel to fellow travelers, particularly those who might face similar discriminatory treatment.

I had a terrible experience at Paradise Beach Club Mirissa and would strongly advise others, especially local Sri Lankans, to avoid this place. I stayed here with my wife, daughter, and mother across two rooms, expecting a relaxing holiday. Instead, we were met with unacceptable and outright discriminatory behavior. The hotel staff were extremely rude and dismissive, especially towards us as locals and my Chinse wife, while clearly prioritizing white-skinned foreign guests. Despite multiple polite requests for a takeaway breakfast (as we had early whale-watching plans), the staff failed to provide us with anything – even though we were on a half-board package. We ended up missing meals that we had already paid for. The service around the pool was equally appalling. I tried to place an order, but the waiter rudely brushed me off saying he was “busy,” and never returned. When my wife asked for assistance regarding hotel amenities (which were poorly maintained and not properly marked), she was completely ignored. This level of disrespect and poor service is unacceptable in any hotel, let alone one that claims to be a "beach club." I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. There are far better places in Mirissa that value all guests equally – regardless of where they come from.

The location of the hotel is excellent, with stunning sea views that could be a big draw for guests. Although the views are great, the unpleasant smell in the rooms is a significant problem affecting my experience as a guest. The bathrooms were not clean, which was a significant problem. The lack of cleanliness and maintenance in the rooms and bathrooms was noticeable. Due to the cleanliness and odour issues in the rooms, I would not recommend this hotel unless significant steps are taken to improve these aspects.

Initial impression as we arrived was wow this looks stunning . The pool is right out front main reception and a very welcoming invite as you enter .||And that’s where it ended . It is clear that there are two kinds of rooms available - the newer yet smaller cleaner rooms . Then the one we stayed in - rooms 501 onwards . Older , dated yet bigger . The First Gentleman checking us in had the enthusiasm of someone who did not want to be there . ||We could not connect to the internet and had two people spend more than 30 mins trying to connect us . I realise this is a first world issue but with things happening at home we need to be available . ||The light next to the bed needed a different plug otherwise could not be turned on - let alone plugged in . Should not have to have called for that to be fixed .The drawers missing knobs , the bathroom without hand towels which we had to request . The worst was the amount of black mould and dripping water across the air conditioning pipes in the bathroom . It looks unsightly to say the least . ||Dinner was an all out argument with multiple staff over a beer that was not ordered . It left us feeling like very under valued clients . Having worked in customer service I have always tried to keep a client happy even if I know they are wrong ( in this case we were not ) .||In bed I felt an odd lump down near my feet - under the fitted sheet . I un made the bed to discover someone’s eye drop vessel - unused at least - on top of the mattress protector !!!! What - really - you didn’t notice that as you made the bed . ||I would recommend you stay elsewhere as it’s 50/50 if you get the right staff and the right room along with the right level of service . ||Very disappointed . Bad reviews spread faster than good sadly .
