ARA Beach Resort Mirissa

The staff were great, the building is newly built with good quality workmanship and the breakfast was good. There is a nice pool and direct beach access. The direct beach is good for surfing but is a bit rocky for swimming. The main swimming beaches are in close proximity (walkable or by tuk tuk). The rooms were nice and clean.

All good, only recommend installing a sign saying the name of the hotel for the turn off from the main road to the hotel road so that it is easier to locate if not using GPS.

Accommodation was great. Excellent location right by the beach + great pool. We enjoyed the breakfast, but the best part of the whole stay was the staff. I've traveled quite a bit, but I've never met such friendly and accommodating staff. Thank you once again.

Nothing.

View are fantastic, we had turtles feeding just off the beach. There is a snorkeling beach 150m away and the main beach at Marissa is easily walkable.

This hotel could be fabulous with minimal effort, a bit of local artwork and some thoughts about the dining and lounge area would bring it up a notch. Dinner they could put small tables outside on the beach. Put a menu in the rooms. There is a fabulous rooftop area that has not yet been developed that is ideal for a roof bar. In fairness this hotel is great value but boutique it up and they could easily get double the rates

The rooms were large, comfortable and clean with a pleasant balcony with sea views The staff were friendly and helpful

Unfortunately the pool area needed some attention, the pool was clean but the sun loungers were tired and the area needed a general upgrade to make the most of the outside space. It would of benefited from a small bar for guests to relax in in the evening.

we had family room with sea view. room was big, clean and yes we saw sea. room had tv, AC and big bathroom. we spend here 2 night, and had 2 diferrent tipes of breakfast. i liked more buffet because of more options. pool was nice and clean. staff were polite and ready to help.

bathroom little bit smell and pool had quite old furnitere.

We liked the slightly secluded location because otherwise you don't get to see that part of the beach. We liked the attention to detail of the staff. Wifi was good. I was able to have a video call no problem. Really tasty mushroom button lunch. View from the room is stunning onto the ocean. Lots of privacy. Breakfast was not bad but not astounding. Tea is good. Puppies next door were adorable.

If they could make one change: make the coffee at breakfast much better. Do it properly and with attention to detail like you do everything else. As it was I could not stand it. You could do french press easily, or Moka, or drip in a good scalable way. Research the right grind and brewing techniques. If you could make a second change: record feedback from everyone and review it weekly and make a plan to incorporate the feedback over time. Make sure it aligns with your vision.
