The enchanting Mermaid Hotel and Club is an ideal choice for couples looking to enjoy a delightful romantic getaway in a divine tropical sanctuary by the sea. Situated in a peaceful fishing village, close to the town of Kalutara on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, the hotel boasts all the modern luxuries needed for an exquisite break in this spectacular location. Guests can spend their days lazing in the sun beside 1 of the 2 swimming pools, or while away the hours on the soft sand beside the magnificent turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. When it comes to dining, the Mermaid serves up a number of options, with guests able to enjoy a buffet feast, a range of a la carte dishes, or a romantic dinner served in the gardens, by the pool or on the beach.

When you’re feeling re-energised, Sri Lanka offers a whole host of wild and wonderful attractions that should not be missed. The island is home to a number of spectacular nature reserves, where you can marvel at buffalo, crocodiles, sambar deer and Indian elephants. Kalutara itself also boast the Kalutara Chaitya, the world’s only hollow Buddhist shrine, containing a number of murals each representing a different aspect of the Budda’s life.

We had a wonderful experience at Mermaid Resort & Club. The atmosphere was very calm, relaxing, and beautifully maintained. The food was absolutely delicious with great quality and taste. The rooms were luxurious, clean, and very comfortable, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The service was excellent throughout our visit, and the staff were extremely friendly, polite, and always ready to help. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended for a relaxing and comfortable getaway ❤️

Poor management and accessibility issues overshadowed a friendly staff. ​While the staff members were friendly, our stay was marred by significant delays and poor responsiveness. Despite a scheduled check-in of 2:00 PM, our rooms were still being cleaned at 3:00 PM. This was particularly difficult for the elderly members of our group who desperately needed to rest after traveling. ​Prospective guests should be aware that the hotel lacks an elevator. Despite requesting a ground-floor room for our elderly companion who has mobility issues, we were told none were available. Climbing multiple flights of stairs was a major challenge and highlights that the architecture is not elder-friendly. ​The room quality was also disappointing; we found sand on the floor and stains on the linens upon arrival. Furthermore, the safety locker was broken, and despite multiple requests, it was never repaired. We also requested extra tea and milk packets twice, but they never arrived. Furthermore, the hotel does not provide bottled water in the rooms. Instead, guests are required to use a communal water filter located in the hallway to refill their own bottles. This was incredibly inconvenient, especially for the elderly members of our group who had to walk back and forth to the hallway just to get a drink of water. While the food was decent and the facilities (pools, gym, and table tennis) were good, the lack of attention to detail and slow service meant the stay was not worth the money.

The room is really worth the money. The place is really cool, very clean, and close to the beach. It is also very beautiful. The staff are good and helpful. However, there is one important thing to mention about the water. As someone who has visited many hotels around the world, this was disappointing. They do not provide sealed drinking water bottles for guests staying in the rooms. Instead, they keep a refillable tumbler and ask guests to refill it from a water dispenser outside the room. This is not acceptable when it comes to hygiene. Hygiene should always be the number one priority for guests.

It was a Warm & very Homely stay. Team headed by Thomas, seemed a great strength as they were always ready to accommodate us, within their capacity to make us feel happy. A special mention of Athula, taking care of the Front Office, who went out of his way to change our initial perception of the place & arrange and get a room cleaned & ready through Nishantha, for us to stay on comfortably. Food was tasty and the salads were so delicious, another plus at the place, Chef Gamage together with Wasantha, at the restaurant took all the trouble to ensure we were well taken care of, even by preparing & offering special dishes. It was so kind of them. Warmly remember Priyadarshani who served us at Breakfast smilingly despite our demands. Another special mention of Thilina at the pool who took care of us and made that experience memorable. Restaurant at the upper floor made it a bit difficult without a lift. As the premises is quite old, we feel overall the standards of the premises need to be uplifted. We were concerned about the cleanliness which should be made aware among the entire staff & place. Live Music and entertainment on Monday night made our stay extra special and we really enjoyed it. Despite premises and cleanliness related few issues, we truly enjoyed our short stay and were well taken care of with the hands on approach by the Senior Staff Members. Thank you very much Mermaid and the Team. Hope to see you again. 🙏 Shervin and Inoka Fernando September 2025

Had such a lovely stay at the Mermaid Hotel & Club! The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, with beautiful ocean views and a well-kept beach area. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable. The food was okay and plenty of choices, but it didn’t quite feel worth the price. Overall, a beautiful place to unwind and enjoy the seaside!
