4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2013

This was an alternative to a hotel originally suggested by our tour organiser as it seemed a better choice. The hotel is a little way out of town but a walk along the beach for 20 minutes will get you there. The best point about the hotel is its position, right on the very nice, quiet beach. The room was... More

We came here having read our guidebook that said Weligama was the place to be and Mirissa was still quiet. I guess we has an old guidebook as the opposite was true and we moved to Mirissa pretty quickly. Having said that the beach at Jagabay is deserted so if you're looking for a quiet spot with a gorgeous beach... More

This resort was a real discovery for us! It is located on a peaceful corner of a beautiful sandy beach, a little apart from the crowds of the center! The food was exquisite (esp. fish and curries!!) and the owner (who speaks also English and German fluently) is one of the kindest persons we ever met and has been always... More

A large hotel located on a part of the bay that is virtually deserted. It was like having a private beach. The rooms are very clean and have good standard but the whole place seems like it has seen better days. The garden is very nice and they have a small pool. The restaurant is very good and it is...

We stay here 11 nights in february. Jagabay resort is in the middle from Weligama and Mirissa beach. In any way its take 5 minutes withTUK-TUK and cost 1$. Beach is wide and quite lonely. You can walk long distance. You have good hotel sundecks in any time. There you can fully relax in sun and sounds of ocean waves,... More
