Very convenient secure location. Well maintained. Had all the utensils needed including a toaster, kettle, Microwave, hand mixer and a stick vacuum.. Ideal for a small expatriate Sri Lankan family. Walking distance to Cargill's supermarket and high level road. Had AU/NZ power socket adaptors so that we could use our phone chargers and laptops. Great quiet swimming pool not crowded and can use as your own private pool.

The location was good you have 1-2 eateries on the side and if you walk behind you might fine 1-2 cafés and keels . The room looked exactly as it shown but room size is very small. The staff in might there is guy at reception who was not ready to understand anything at all . You don’t have much food option in the hotel they just have one menu for the whole day which is their breakfast buffet . I would suggest go outside to eat because it’s not worth the money what they have in menu . The cleaning staff and everyone was very nice and helpful . The hotel is under construction on most of the floors so got a high floor sea facing room . All rooms are seafaring in this hotel so don’t pay extra for it. Enjoy

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!
