What I liked about Calm Rest: 1, The location is nice and quiet, quite close to the beach, but it's not on the beach. It's a perfectly hidden garden with a handful of bungalows. 2, I love the greens and the lovely fireflies at night. 3, The room is big and nice looking. I even enjoyed a surprise visit of... More

We stayed here 3 days straight from the airport. Excellent location near the beach. Gardens are good, cabanas well designed but in need of a bit of TLC. Everyone in the guest house was helpful and friendly. The only reason for an 'average' rating is the owner, who I believe lives in Germany, needs to do some updating and repairs.... More

My friends and I booked two cabanas here for about 2,000 per night and found this place amazing value for money. One of our party stepped on a sea urchin and two of the boys working there spent hours helping to remove the spines from his foot. We became good friends with the staff who were really helpful. We had... More

Nice spacious and clean rooms or cabanas just after the beach shore. There were no cabanas available when we got there, but we did get the chance to see one on the inside. Although very charming (and cheaper then the rooms surprisingly), I did not mind staying in one of there big double rooms next to them with big verandas.... More

If it's your plan to spend as much time on the beach and as little time in your room (but still be close by go back and get stuff) then this place is great. It's fairly basic but very friendly owners and great location to beach (1 min max) Mirissa is beautiful, we were there for the beaches, not the... More

Stayed for two nights and had real trouble sleeping through the noise on the first - dogs barking, traffic (from about 6am), plus there is a lot of standing water just behind the guest house, and consequently a lot of mosquitos. Location is either good or bad depending on your point of view - it's very close to the beach... More

We stayed in the modern block, on the upper floor for a few nights in March. The room was large and clean with double bed and mosquito net, bathroom was pretty standard, and clean. The owners were lovely, and very laid back, Moved rooms after about an hour as decided the cabana was just too open to the elements, and... More

A nice place with some wooden cabins - the main building seems to be disused probably due to the tsunami. We didn't eat here as the beach is just a short walk over the road, so we had breakfast and dinner watching the waves.
