Clean room basic but everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Air con great, shower great location great. We stayed off season so no bar we had the place to ourselves, we are not needy travellers and enjoyed the quirky place made our stay memorable for the ideal location across the road from Mirissa Beach

Vi bodde på Mermaid tre nätter och hade en väldigt bra upplevelse. Värden Bathiya är en ytterst trevlig värd som gör allt för att vistelsen ska bli bra.
