Palm Paradise Cabanas & Villas Beach Resort

A peaceful, beautiful spot, well away from the busier parts of the south coast. A choice of rustic, comfortable cabanas metres from the beach to more modern, stylish villas, all of which are dotted around well kept lush gardens and surrounded by nature (& roaming peacocks!). The staff were so warm, friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed trying some of the family-run beach restaurants that offered excellent fresh seafood. There is plenty to explore nearby, including turtle nesting tours at Rekawa, cooking classes, the blowhole and deserted beaches. Don’t expect 5* luxury but you can enjoy a truly special place for an authentic and relaxing Sri Lankan escape. Highly recommended!

Perfect location right on the most beautiful beach Cabanas perfect for a wild stay Space and privacy between the cabanas The staff attitude Generous Sri Lankan breakfast (we didn't even try the continental option) The Pavillion restaurant on the pool

Proposed transfer/taxi service quite pricey (miles from Uber/Pickme, we didn't take it and arranged ourselves)

Everything

Nothing

The staff is so kind. Especially the waiters and the cleaning staff. The beach itself is amazing. Ping pong table was nice.

The hotel doesn’t have facilities on the beach which is unfortunate. The food is not very good. We ate here twice and it was not at all to our liking. The mattress was stained. Great beach but next time I would stay at a different hotel. The pool hours are limited in my option I would kindly ask if they could close one hour later.
