dont book this place!

Hotel which has seen the best days. Staff also rude especially women, male restaurant workes were great but women dont speak english at all so you dont have no idea what they are saying. Also everything should be put on your room bill and we wanted always to pay meal etc straight away, that was an issue for them. We also asked what is the best way to Colombo, they didint want to help. Never again! We recommend to stay Bentota beach this Beruwala is too far away.

Immer wenn ich nach Beruwala komme.....

Wenn man es endlich gefunden hat und das Tor durchschritten hat ist man in einer anderen Welt. Eine wunderschöne Anlage, ein Restaurant, eine Bar, noch zwei weitere Restaurants, Funktionsräume und nicht zuletzt die Zimmer, die freundlichen Mitarbeiter, die Speisenauswahl ein Frühstück und anderen Mahlzeiten suchen ihresgleichen. Und zum Meeresstrand sind es nur ein paar Schritte. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen. Ach so, das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist ebenfalls beachtenswert!

The Palms, Beruwela, Sri Lanka, HEINÄKUU 2017

Olimme The Palms:ssa (Sri Lanka, Beruwela) kaksi viikkoa kesä-heinäkuussa 2017. Kyseisenä aikana siellä on menossa sadekausi, joten muutamia sadekuuroja tuli parina päivänä. Ranta on kyllä uimakelpoinen, mutta aallot ovat välillä isohkoja. Rantaa pääsee kahlaamalla ainakin 100m ilman, että vesi nousee vyötärön yläpuolelle. Paikan selkeä valopilkku ja superystävällinen asiakaspalvelija löytyy pöydän äärestä rahanvaihtopisteen lähettyviltä. Hänen nimensä on Charitha. Häneltä voit pyytää mitä tahansa ja kaikki järjestyy. Hotellin aula-alue oli viihtyisä, mutta huoneet tarvitsisivat hiukan päivitystä. Aulassa toimiva wifi, mutta ei kaikissa huoneissa (koska huoneen wifi tuli aulan laitteesta). Buffet ruokailu valikoima on hyvä, mutta jotkin ruokalajikkeet liian tulisia länsimaalaiseen makuun. Olisi ollut mukava, jos hotelli olisi järjestänyt erilaisia aktiviteettejä KAIKILLE vieraille. Mikäli et ota koko pakettia matkanjärjestäjien kautta, niin ainoaksi vaihtoehdoksi käydä päiväretkillä on neuvotella niistä tuktuk kuskien ja paikallisten rantatyyppien kanssa. Hotellilla ei ole kauppoja, mutta kun kuljet rantaa jonkun matkaa, niin siellä on niitä muutamia (turistitavaraa, ei ruokakauppoja). Hotellilla käytännössä joka ilta live-musiikkia, joka loppuu kuitenkin ihmisten aikoihin. Se mikä yllätti, niin oli hintataso. Sri Lanka ylihinnoittelee itsensä turisteille (esim versus Thaimaa).

Nice, clean and spacious room and bathroom. Hotel a bit dated, expected more premium quality for 4 stars and from the photos. Great breakfast but lunch (for an additional fee) portion was small and average. The beach is ok but not great.

Great place

Great hotel for the money. Great relaxing setting with well maintained grounds. Great beach and pool. Beach restaurant food was excellent as was the breakfast buffet. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Nightly entertainment was also provided in the form of live music. Would highly recommend. I didn't use the spa but prices seems a bit high compared to what you would find outside the hotel.

Nice Hotel on the Beach

My husband and I enjoyed our visit to The Palms. It was a convenient location as Beruwala is near (we walked to it but it was a hike). Relaxing, breakfast buffet was great, staff was helpful, but internet was only in the public area and even then only in certain areas in the public area.

Outdated Hotel, with terrible amenities

The Palms Hotel in Beruwela looks like it was built in the 70's and hasn't been updated since. The rooms are dirty, with antiquated furniture. The is no internet service available in the room. The Breakfast Buffet is the worst I have experienced in comparable Asian Hotels. The only saving grace is the friendly staff and great beach. Overall I cannot recommend this Hotel to anyone in good conscience - look elsewhere.

Best to avoid this..

The property is beautiful with plenty of wooden architecture n greenery. That is where the pros end. We stayed for 3 nights with kids and regretted every single day. The rooms were musty with strong stench of old furniture. The room towels, bedsheets looked like rags from the last century. The buffet breakfast was the same on every single day with limited options. No fresh juice, no brown bread, cut fruits with flies on it. There are 2 restaurants, and one only serves buffet for all meals. The other restaurant and the in room dining has very limited options, especially for kids. The beach is dirty n littered as it is a public beach. Best to avoid this one at all cost and shift to it next door neighbor in the north. You will not regret at all.

Lovely hotel close to the beach

I was here with my mum and sister for a couple of nights and it was worth every penny! We were given a room better than that was originally booked and the staff was always really helpful and friendly. The food wasn't as great and was still expensive. Overall, excellent place for a short stay with a lovely pool, garden and beach!

Pretty much okay.

It was overall good but can be improved by adding a few more items in it's cuisine and also having their own transport facilities. An absolute necessity for tourists!! After all people from all over the world are coming to this hotel too and wouldn't have to be running around finding and fixing taxis from local vendors by being asked sky high prices for traveling!!!!!!!

Ruhiges Hotel

Wir waren vom 24. -31.10.14 mit 4 Personen dort. (2Erw. + 2Kinder 9+12J.) Die Ruhe, die wir uns gewünscht haben, fanden wir in diesem Hotel. Auch wenn gelegentlich einheimische ihre Hochzeitsfeier dort feierten. Da es zu dieser Zeit immer viel Regen gibt, ist auch das Wasser im Meer entsprechend trüb und mit viel Pflanzenresten bestückt.

bel hotel en dehors de la ville, il est entouré d'un beau parc avec de nombreux écureuils et oiseaux, la nourriture y est bonne, il est situé sur la plage mais elle n'est vraiment pas entretenue, de nombreuses bouteilles en plastique et autres déchets jonchent celle-ci, ce n'est vraiment pas agréable à voir.
