Positive: Very remote location but we knew that before we booked. If your looking for somewhere to relax away from the hustle & bustle this is the place. Room was extremely clean & bed was sooo comfortable. Staff were very attentive & helpful. When we went to the water fall for a dip Ravi came with us to ensure our safety, he even jumped in with all his clothes on to show me the rock jump. Food was of a very high standard & tasty. Would highly recommend. Only other point i would say is they could do with safety rail to help across the rocks of the waterfall. Must point out we are older travellers so not so nimble.

Negative: Nothing.

Positive: Beautiful ending to our Sri Lankan holiday. Had the whole place to ourselves! We had the room with the small outdoor pool and steamroom. It's in the middle of nowhere, but that made this such a nice place. Food was very good, breakfast next to the waterfall couldn't be more perfect. Room was massive, swimming pool very nice. We did nothing here, just relaxing, but you can go on hikes to the waterfall, look for birds or go to the cave. We liked the drive over and made the experience feel more remote. But if you are traveling bij car or maybe tuktuk, we would definitely advise their pick-up service or that they drive your vehicle there. We traveled on motorbikes, and that was fine. But some parts of the road are very rocky. If you have low clearance on the car or don't feel comfortable on small mountain roads, don't drive yourselves.

Negative: This place is super nice, but it could use some tlc here and there. For a five-star hotel, you expect everything to be perfect, but it is slightly worn around the edges. It's hard to explain, but just small things here and there. But for us it didn't change our great experience!

Positive: A beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. It was quiet and full of amazing wildlife. A wonderful and relaxing place! Sameera, the hotel naturalist was a huge asset and took us on two fabulous walks to go birdwatching and see the cave as well as to the waterfall. He was hugely knowledgeable about the bird life and a great guide. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and the hotel to anyone wanting to see local wildlife and birds.

Negative: Nothing

Summary: Relaxing, comfortable and a great place to see wildlife. Make sure you head out with Sameera the wildlife guide whilst y

Positive: A Perfect Anniversary Escape: Exceptional Service and Stunning Views at Palmstone Resort I recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding anniversary at Palmstone Resort, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was special. Their warm hospitality truly set the tone for our getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was the breathtaking green view from our suite. The large glass walls allowed us to soak in the natural beauty surrounding us, making it the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The suite itself was spacious and beautifully designed, providing plenty of room to relax. We loved having the option of either a jacuzzi or a steam room. We chose the suite with the jacuzzi, which also featured a lovely chilling patio—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. To make our anniversary even more special, the team surprised us with a delicious cake and allowed us to celebrate next to the pool. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made our day feel even more festive. The next morning, we enjoyed a beautifully prepared breakfast right in front of the river, which was a delightful way to start the day. The only downside we encountered was a few insects that made their way into the room when we opened and closed the doors. However, we appreciated that there was an insect repellent already installed in both the room and restroom, which helped mitigate the issue. Overall, our stay at Palmstone Resort was delightful. The combination of stunning views, spacious accommodations, exceptional service, and thoughtful touches made our anniversary truly memorable. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Negative: It was an amazing experience from all aspects.

Positive: The location is amazing with a river going through the property. It was very peaceful. The service was amazing. I could call and I could ask for anything to be brought to the room. Their employee Indunil is the best employee I've ever had at a hotel. He made the experience twice as good. Give that man a pay raise!

Negative: The WiFi is a little weak but you really don't need it out there. The upstairs area of the main building could use some cleaning and maintenance.
