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.

The room was beautiful and spacious, one of the nicest rooms I've stayed in and I stay in nice hotels for a living. I was shocked at just how lovely it was given the really cheap price. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. I don't think I'd want to stay anywhere else in Colombo!

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!
