Arrived in Colombo at 5.50 am. The hotel is not far from the airport, about 1.5 hours drive, which is a plus. The hotel is quite calm. Settled in rooms and put on bracelets around 12.00. The room was good, large (about 50 sq. M). The room fund is divided into 2 parts, in one (the one closer to the beach), as I understand it, Ukrainians, Poles, Russians settle, and in the other part (the one overlooking the lake) British, Germans, French.

The room fund is divided into 2 parts, in one (the one closer to the beach), as I understand it, Ukrainians, Poles, Russians settle, and in the other part (the one overlooking the lake) British, Germans, French. The hotel has its own area on the beach. Towels are provided, and if possible, you can take a sunbed. There is a kind of bar, where you can take water and soda. The entrance to the beach opens at 8.00 am and closes at 17.00 (it was not clear to me why not extend at least until 18.00). We stayed until sunset and then went out the other way. The beach is great, but you have to be careful when swimming. Large waves periodically roll in, they can simply "cover" and throw them on the shore. In the morning on the beach, local fishermen from the nets take out their catch of fish, you can buy from them at your choice. For a fee, they can cook fish for you and bring it directly to the beach. The food at the hotel is good, quite varied. . Occasional seafood. Every day fish, meat (pork, beef, chicken). You just have to read carefully, there are very spicy dishes. Fruits - papaya, watermelon, pineapple, passion fruit, mango. From vegetables cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce. Who buys All Inclusive - local drinks are included (except wine). Large swimming pool. The atmosphere is quite serene. Live music in the evenings. The hotel staff is very helpful. There is no animation in the hotel. With small children, of course, I would not recommend going to Sri Lanka. There is almost no entertainment for them in the hotel, it is dangerous to swim in the ocean. In general I recommend this hotel.

This is the northern part, the hotel is located on a peninsula with lakes. This hotel is the only one where it was all inclusive, that's why I decided to go here. The hotel is very clean. There are no questions about nutrition at all, everything is super, everything is just a buzz in the bar, a large selection of drinks.

This is the northern part, the hotel is located on a peninsula with lakes. This hotel is the only one where it was all inclusive, that's why I decided to go here. The hotel is very clean. There are no questions about nutrition at all, everything is super, everything is just a buzz in the bar, a large selection of drinks. The service is just the bomb, everyone is friendly. The girls immediately pour cold water into glasses, and this, after all, speaks of the good level of the hotel. The room is large and the terrace overlooks the lake. The only thing they don't have, they have a small area of the beach across the path (small, one-way literally 4 meters, the road is rural), then they don't have their own beach. But it’s still wonderful when you walk along the beach in the morning, and there these fishermen with boats pull the fish with nets and, in principle, it’s comfortable to swim there. Although the sea is stormy, but the sea is without lambs, it is convenient to swim. On this small beach there are about a dozen umbrellas, a water cooler, but on this territory you just take a towel and go to the common beach, where there will really be no one except for the tourists of our hotel, but it’s just not very well maintained. There are no questions about the hotel, cleanliness, without a constant "hello, how are you? ". There are a lot of foreigners in this hotel, Russian speakers are quite few and Ukrainians are also few. A lot of people were relaxing by the pool with bars, but I preferred to go to the beach. There are no children here, it may be boring for young people, since I did not observe such entertainment here. And for a relaxing family holiday here just right. I was in Sri Lanka for the first time, because I had to while away the winter, then I really liked it here, peace and quiet.

Everything was great, wonderful island, smiling staff, great weather, good hotel. But, as they put up an advertising banner that on Tuesdays in the restaurant for all seafood a 30% discount, we are looking forward to it.

Everything was great, wonderful island, smiling staff, great weather, good hotel. But, as they put up an advertising banner that on Tuesdays in the restaurant for all seafood a 30% discount, we are looking forward to it. At our request to show the menu with prices, they include a standard go-ahead - "my yours does not understand", as a result, having not achieved prices, we are waiting for a delicious dinner. They chose all the most delicious and exotic, weighed us and announced the amount, showing it only on the calculator, to my question where is the 30% discount, they answered that they had already calculated it for you. But at the end of the dinner, which was cooked disgustingly ???? , I couldn’t even guess before that it was possible to spoil seafood, they bring us a bill one and a half times more than the previously said amount, to our indignant question why there is such a difference, as usual, there is only one answer, “ mine doesn't understand yours. " We did not spoil our mood, deciding to leave until tomorrow to find out the reasons for this deception. But, the next day it was even worse, the staff assured that there was no discount on the banner ???????????? , and in general we needed to take a picture of it, they showed us a folded banner with a torn off sticker where there was a discount . Despite the fact that other people told them that there was a discount, they again include idiots. Our JoinAp representative tried to “help” us by phone (pathetic attempts, supposedly solving our issue), but all in vain. They offended us very much, and not even by the fact that they cheat (not only us), but by the fact that they see suckers and idiots in us. We go thousands of kilometers to them, we bring money, and they face us in the mud.
We are experienced tourists, we have visited different countries, but this is the first time we experience such bestial attitude. I categorically do not advise all my friends and all Internet users to go to this hotel.

We have already been to Sri Lanka, now we decided to rest in the same country, but in a different place. According to reviews, this hotel was good enough, so we chose it. We were checked in before 12 noon, the room was clean. Not a big minus was that the guys in the kitchen could not cope, did not have time to serve the people who eat there, we had to wait until they take away / bring the plates, since we got on some kind of holiday and there were many local vacationers.

The food is specific due to the fact that this is an Asian country. Everything is spicy, but tolerable, as for me, because I like European cuisine more. The hotel is on the first coastline, the beach is 15 meters from the hotel, across the road. Nice hotel, on the territory - swimming pools, tennis courts, baseball, etc. We did not go on excursions this time, we were last time.

Second time at the hotel. Transfer and check-in is standard, without problems and comments. The staff is responsive. The rooms are big. The room has a standard set of furniture. Everything worked flawlessly. Cleaned every day, good enough. The food on the first visit was better. The grounds and the ocean are great.

Everything worked flawlessly. Cleaned every day, good enough. The food on the first visit was better. The grounds and the ocean are great. In general, the hotel meets its parameters.
But there is a problem in the hotel's neighbors that I encountered. This is the SEA SPARKLE jewelry store. It is located directly opposite the hotel. There are real scammers out there. Be careful when buying jewelry, require that the gold standard, size and all parameters of the stones be indicated on the invoice. The scheme works as follows:
You order to make jewelry, choose stones and so on.
Your order is taken and immediately asked when you are leaving. The order will be ready on the day of your departure, right before the transfer. And only upon returning home you will have the opportunity to check the quality of the product. It turns out that the product is not gold, but some kind of alloy, and stones of the wrong quality, smaller and naturally cheaper than you paid.

Good afternoon. This is my second trip to Sri Lanka. I liked this hotel, I was pleasantly surprised by the large and well-groomed territory, clean pool. Service and maintenance also left pleasant memories. I bought a ticket through tpg. With his task, he did an excellent job. A comfortable flight in both directions was organized.

Good afternoon. This is my second trip to Sri Lanka. I liked this hotel, I was pleasantly surprised by the large and well-groomed territory, clean pool. Service and maintenance also left pleasant memories. I bought a ticket through tpg. With his task, he did an excellent job. A comfortable flight in both directions was organized. Timely transfer to the hotel. Accompaniment and support were almost around the clock. Thank you so much for taking such good care of me! Upon arrival at the hotel, I was immediately checked into the booked room. The reception staff were attentive, polite, tactful, responsive. The room is spacious, beautiful and bright. Huge panoramic windows with a wonderful view! Bed with good mattress and comfortable pillows. Lounge area with table and chairs. Kettle, TV, air conditioning and other appliances. Bathroom with shower, fresh towels, cosmetics. There was always hot water. Cleaned regularly, replenishing stocks of everything you need. The hotel has excellent animation - quite interesting, but not intrusive. But, even for me, a quiet and calm tourist, it was hard to resist and not take part in a couple of proposed entertainments ! ! Many thanks to the animation team for creating the mood every day! I was also satisfied with the food. Yes, there are many national dishes, spicy, spices, but you need to read the signs and you can always find something to your taste. And so, of course, a variety of side dishes, meat and fish dishes, were seafood, fruits, vegetables, sweets and more. For breakfast there was always an omelette, fruits, vegetables, toast, cuts. The beach at the hotel is good, a lot of sunbeds, excellent work of beach-fights, which will pull you and the sunbed to the right place and give you a towel. The waves started in the afternoon, before lunch a lot of people swam. From the tour, I took a trip to the tea plantations and the tea factory, then went to the spice garden. The hotel area is very beautiful, literally immersed in greenery! ! Lots of different birds and animals! I felt very comfortable and enjoy my time here! I highly recommend this hotel, in terms of price-quality ratio it is one of the best in Sri Lanka!

We return to the Club Palm Bay hotel for the second time. The place is fabulous and exotic, which makes you not want to go anywhere else. This hotel has everything and high service and stunning landscapes around. Our room is the best (it was also booked for the second visit). You open the balcony and here you have all the beauty of Sri Lanka and the view of the lagoon.

You open the balcony and here you have all the beauty of Sri Lanka and the view of the lagoon. There are many trees and beautiful bushes around, the gardener looks after them conscientiously. Animators work all day at the hotel, you never get bored. Meals at the hotel were taken only for breakfast, for lunch we went to local restaurants, and for dinner we ordered something from the general menu. The taste of the food is amazing, the seafood is especially tasty. If we are lucky to go to Sri Lanka for the third time, we will definitely stay at this hotel.

Great stay at the hotel and in this country, full of colors and impressions. The area is huge and well maintained. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner - the food was varied. Often served products that we can not get, or they appear on the table on New Year's Eve))) always fresh and delicious. We lived in a separate bungalow with beautiful views of the gorgeous nature.

We lived in a separate bungalow with beautiful views of the gorgeous nature. How beautiful and colorful everything was ! ! ! The area is full of vegetation, everything is clean. Such countries are full not only of vegetation, but also of all kinds of animals, like huge cockroaches and all sorts of lousy lizards. I am glad that this hotel is monitored, I did not observe animals on the paths, or in the territory, or (most importantly) in our house : )))
There are many attractions, there is something to see, where to go, where to pray to Buddha ...)) Were in Sigiriya, Kandy, a garden of spices, imprinted.
It was also possible to book a water tour to the Maldives)) then for some reason we thought it necessary to stay in this good country))
I advise Sri Lanka. We often fly there. Rarely met Russian-speaking, in contrast to the same Thailand

I recommend this hotel for families. Huge green area, there is something to see. The whole territory is well-groomed and cleaned carefully. I am especially afraid of any living creature that is often found in such countries. In this hotel, I can assure you that they are not. At night, they process everything with some means and kill everything that can be found.

I would NOT say that I advise you to go there, but, nevertheless, just for yourself you can see how real Ceylonese live)) go to the only supermarket and compare prices with Ukrainian ones.
The hotel has very tasty food, we had two meals a day, which was also pleasing, because during the day we walked, sunbathed, went on excursions in the same Sri Lanka. So at the hotel you can book a boat trip to the Maldives, but for some reason we were afraid.
I RECOMMEND THE HOTEL!! !
