BEST FOR YOU SPENT
We booked one double and triple on FB basis for 01 night. Room no 354 and 355 were given. Cheek in was smooth and waiting time to receive our rooms were below 10 minutes Both rooms were neat and tidy.AC was good and set at 25 c which was bit cold at a rainy day.The buffet dinner was great with Action station's and breakfast too was live. The only concern was the lunch buffet on Sunday where the spread was minimal. The hotel have a good clean pool and sea side entrance. All in all the hotel gave a best service for the amount we paid

Exceptional Food & service
We had an exceptional experience from the very beginning. We received such a warm welcome on arrival and were promptly escorted to our rooms. The only minor inconvenience was the number of steps and the absence of a lift. However, we were informed that, as it is an older building, they are currently working on improving this.
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner — honestly, it was one of the best dinners we’ve had! The barbecue was absolutely delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly, approachable and attentive, and the food was served quickly and efficiently.
The following morning, breakfast was also served very efficiently, and everything was cleared away promptly and neatly.
We then explored the sports area, which was fantastic, especially for families with children. There were so many activities available, including a gym, table tennis, darts, volleyball, badminton and many other sporting activities. Finally, we headed to the pool, which was the perfect way to finish our stay. Pool towels were provided as requested, and the staff were extremely helpful throughout.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The service, food, facilities and friendly staff made our stay truly enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn’t experienced it before. Don’t hesitate to give it a try — you won’t be disappointed!

Perfect getaway in Waskaduwa beach
Our stay at Mermaid hotel & club was truly amazing. We were a large crowd of over 20 pax and booked 8 rooms for 1 night stay at this hotel situated in Waskaduwa. After contacting Mr. Thushara for reservations, he made the arrangements and helped me with all my queries. Though we had several modifications to our booking, all requests were accommodated seamlessly and I was assured to have an enjoyable stay. Upon arrival the front desk staff was very supportive and friendly and helped us in all our needs. Chamodhya and the other girl (Dinushika I think her name was) managed the front desk exceptionally. I was surprised to see that the hotel was maintained well. There are 2 swimming pools, huge lawn facing the beach, separate areas for cricket, badminton games and much more space which were all clean and looked after. Highlight of the stay was their delicious food. We had buffet for FB meal and the food items were scrumptious. They had a good spread for the international buffet and have to say kudos to the chef and his team for satisfying our tummies. Overall we had a fantastic stay and it was worth it. The rooms were clean and had all essential amenities. One thing to improve is the air-conditioning which was a bit noisy and I think it's a centralized ac. However everything else overweighted the cons. Thank you for the whole team at Mermaid club & hotel for the amazing service. Thank you Thushara, Ruwan, front desk staff, Pradeep and the rest of the staff. Keep up the good work. Hope to be back again someday.
