Bogdan, Qatar

Everything was excellent. The rooms were lovely, staff very helpful and helped arrange our onward travel, nothing was too much trouble for them. food at the restaurant was excellent. Couldn’t fault anything. Would recommend 100% and wish we had stayed longer.

Chris, United Kingdom

What a gem, beautiful beach resort, friendly and helpful staff. It's a small place and there weren't a lot of guests when we were there which made it feel even more special. We had a budget double cottage and you really get a lot for your money. It's rustic and homely, but still feels luxurious. The cottage is beautifully constructed and has both a front yard and small back yard, but we spent most of the time at the stunning infinity pool and the cosy bar and restaurant. The budget double does not have air-conditioning, but it had two powerful fans which kept us cool at night, so there is no need to worry about the lack of AC. The dolphin watching was spectacular, it lasted a couple of hours and most of that time was spent among big groups of dolphins. I would also recommend the massage treatments, I had a head and back massage which was heaven.

Julie, Denmark

Everything! A brilliant set up! The pool is stunning. The food menu is really tasty. The staff are friendly and super attentive. Great bar - the staff will set up a movie to watch if you want. Unique experience showering outside!

Jonathan, United Kingdom

A beautiful hotel with lovely rustic rooms, open air showers and a great little infinity pool looking out to sea. There's a small spa, where I had a foot and back massage - most enjoyable. The food is really good, and the hotel prides itself on serving only fresh food - it shows on the plate. We had the place to ourselves, so it felt really exclusive, and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Jane, United Kingdom

This is a gem of a hotel/resort with an infinity pool surrounded by palm trees and forest and the wild sea giving a cool breeze when it's smoking hot. The personnel was very effective and among the most friendly we encountered. The cabanas were magical. We rate this a first-class, dream resort. If only we would have stayed longer than 2 nights.

Joris, Belgium

This is really a magnificant place. Everything is done with so much care and good taste. The service is really good and the people so kind and helpful. A hotel where it is not just about making money but about quality and about providing people a special experience. It makes you feel like a millionaire while you do not have to be one to stay at palunga beach:-)

Chris, Netherlands

Great location onto the beach, and plenty of local beach activity. All facilities excellent and staff superb although the accommodation was a little ' rustic'.

Palagama Beach is a tropical beach resort located along a sandy beach in Kalpitiya Peninsula. Boasting beautiful sunset views, days can be spent lounging by the fresh water, infinity outdoor pool, or with a relaxing massage at the spa.

The cosy yet spacious cabanas are built with natural materials, and offer views of the sea or garden. Each is fitted with a fan. Bathrooms come with a private shower.

Palagama Beach is a 2.5 hour drive from Bandaranaike International Airport. It is 37.3 miles from Wilpattu National Park.

Shaded by a traditional Cajan roof, Corallia restaurant offers guests a choice of indoor or al fresco dining. Western and local cuisines are available. A beach bar serves an international selection of wines.

Exciting water sports activities such as dolphin and whale watching (seasonal) and windsurfing are available. Local bike tours, kite surfing expeditions in Kalpitiya and day safaris to Wilpattu National Park, famous for leopard sightings, can be arranged.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

Telephonic communication with this property was non-existent, the phone number listed on booking.com and the follow up mails is of the head office in Colombo. I had communicated before hand my arrival time, on the day of our arrival we needed some directions to reach the property and it was impossible to get in touch with anyone, it was past 7pm and the head office also seemed closed. Thankfully my Sri Lankan driver got hold of the property managers mobile number and we managed to reach the property. Upon arrival, I mention the discomfort to Viraj, the manager, he seemed pretty unapologetic to our ordeal. This property doesn’t have a bar and the Spa was closed due to the masseuse being on leave. I would avoid this property and rather stay at the Bar Reef Resort next door.
Food at the restaurant is good. The dolphin watching excursion arranged by the property was good.

It would have been useful to know in advance that they did not sell alcohol, though they were willing to serve it if clients supplied it. Also, none of the advertised possible activities were available because they either no longer existed or were out of season. The rooms have no fridges, no tvs, and no ac, though fans plus sea breeze turned out to be enough to keep cool. We thought that it was a bit overpriced compared to other Sri Lanka hotels, but perhaps better deals could be obtained.
Food very good. Pool excellent. Staff friendly and welcoming. Very charming chalets to stay in. A good green environment.

New Year’s Eve was ok but would have been better if all the hotels had collaborated to have one bbq and firework display on the beach.
Good Sri Lankan style food and cosy / friendly bar. Not too big a resort so met other people and it was very friendly.

The hotel driver who took us back to the airport drove so slowly that I thought we might miss our check-in. In the end, he got us there in good time, but he did not communicate with us, or reassure me when I expressed anxiety. He then set off on a diversion, which presumably helped, but added to our worry, as we had no idea where we were.
