Me and my Fiancee have just returned from a relaxing 2 week break at this Superb hotel. We went for the winter Sun and although the weather was mixed at the start of the Holiday it did not stop us enjoying the hotel and the Service. It is easier to review the hotel by section so here goes: Bed Room... more

We used a lady driver called Kumari to drive us to Galle and on other local trips including the river safari and Richmond House. She was very keen to show us the country and vey importantly her driving was very sensible. You should find her by the front gate. The hotel has a great array of food for the adventurous... more

Special thanks to the staff, they are all very kind and friendly, the service is 5 star quality, particular thank you to Amila (waiter) who took very good professional care of us. We particularily enjoyed the amazing breakfast... more

We arrived to a warm welcome and two amazing rooms with a view of the Indian Ocean - the food was excellent I am not a great lover of spicy food but, had absolutely no problem selecting food to my taste - which varied daily. Yes you do have to sign for every item ordered - although we found after... more

We stayed at RPBH for 2 weeks until 10 Oct. Staff are great but do tip at the beginning to ensure good service - 200 rupees or so will do it. Food is brilliant. Lots of wildlife in the hotel gardens - fruitbats, monitors, parakeets etc. Plugs are UK 3 pin - couldn't find that info before we went! I'd... more

We stayed 2 weeks at the Royal Palms and enjoyed every moment, the hotel is rated as a 5 star, not too sure about that more a 4 star given that the hotel in general could do with a refurbishment however it was kept very clean. Excellent choice of food throughout our stay, plenty of variation. Staff were very friendly... more
