Nicest place we stayed in Sri Lanka. After many nights with a family all in one room in was so nice to have some space and just look out at the amazing view! Use of the pool was also lovely. Shanuka popped round on the first night to help us with ideas for our visit and has been a great host.

I recently enjoyed a two-day stay at Palmyrah and was thoroughly impressed. The hospitality was exceptional with Veronika and she was so helpful —friendly staff seamless check-in, and a genuine desire to make my stay memorable. The room was impeccable, with tasteful decor and all the comforts needed. The serene environment provided a tranquil escape from the hustle, making it a perfect retreat. The staff's professionalism and willingness to assist added to the positive experience. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway!

A cozy hotel situated overlooking the Wellawatta Beach, on Marine Drive. Don't miss the pool on the third floor it has magnificent ocean view. The rooms are quite spacious and bed is very comfortable. I had booked an ocean view and we enjoyed the magnificent sunset.

This hotel probably has one of the best locations in Colombo - It is right on the beachfront. It has an old colonial charm to it. Would highly recommend staying here.
