Giragala has the best beachside garden in all of Mirissa and sheltered swimming offered by Teacup Cove. Its end-of-beach position is away from some of the noisier backpacker accommodation of the central beach, and the small island just offshore shields the bathing area from larger waves. The fenced, grassy garden means you can enjoy being right on the water but... More

Giragala Village hotel is located next to the Palm Villa which is mentioned in the Lonley Planet guide as top choice. As we stayed in both hotels, we judge Giragala as a far better place then Palm villa, it has a bigger garden, 2 nice stretches of nice sand beach, it is very clean, all staff is very friendly and...

Cleanish rooms, old decor but generally ok. Set in some nice grounds right on the beach. Not exactly a hotel to write home about but nothing really wrong with it. Ok as somewhere to stay for a few nights but there are nicer places in mirissa for a longer stay.

I spent few nights in this corner of the Mirissa beach. The hotel garden on the beach is very airy during those extremely hot days. I love the hammocks under the garden palms! But I agree with some of the previous reviews, the rooms are a bit old, though clean enough, and for my liking the beds were not very... More

We stayed in Giragala Village for 2 nights during our trip in Sri Lanka and we loved the location and the sea view! We asked for the room with a view of Parrot Rock in advance and were very pleased to get it. The staff were very friendly and discreet. Breakfast was simple but very good. We did not think... More

The location is fantastic! Rooms could do with an update. The breakfast wasnt best in sri lanka as they cook it in a tent outside. Have to pour your own tea. And go up and order your breakfast from tent. Other than thst mirissa is amazing and this hotel has a great location and security for peace of mind

We moved here from our previous hotel as they could only let us have 4 nights. We were offered a small self contained " bungalow " which was right next to the sea so great location. The room was basic but adequate. Good lockable wardrobe with drawers. Would like to have rearranged the furniture as the bed was in a... More

Stayed one night with my gf and we enjoyed it here. Room with AC was great allthough shower had very low water pressure and toilet made a huge noise after flushing. Garden is great (hammocks, squirrels, palm trees) and the location is nice, away from the more lively area on the beach. A good night sleep. We paid 7500 with... More

This was our first trip to Sri Lanka. A middle aged couple traveling with kids aged 7 and 10. Booked 3 nights x 2 rooms in Giragala Village through an agent in Colombo. Paid the agent upfront. The location and the garden were both fantastic but the rooms themselves were very very basic - just a bed and a table... More
