We spend our Haney moon at bucking ham place. They let us to take our wedding photos with their locations and after wedding they provide us special room decorated with flowers. Room and bathroom very huge and view was amazing. No word to explain their excellent service. Thank you M’r kalpa and Dilanka. We will comeback soon..
No words to describe how charming, cosy and wonderful this place is. The location, the empty but beautiful beach, the pool, the rooms, the service and everything else is just superb. Stumbled upon it by accident but already earmarked as a place to visit again and again. We have been to many hotels both in Sri Lanka and abroad ranging from boutique to luxury, and can easily say that this is right at the top. Great work Nick and team. Keep it up and it was a pleasure to meet you in person too.
Superb hotel. My husband and I have been always looking for that one hotel which is a home away from home, which we can reach easily and have a tranquil and relaxing stay of 2-3 nights. When we visited Buckingham place last weekend for a 2 night getaway, we realized we hit the jackpot :) it's such a wonderful hotel, located in between a lagoon and the sea, their suits are just so artfully decorated with comfortable bedding, seating and large living spaces. View of the lagoon from our suite was breathtaking. Open shower area and the large bathtub was just what we needed to rest and relax. Each room or chalet has great privacy and its own balcony or varenda with a breathtaking view. Hotel has a wonderful infinity pool which over looks the sea. Although the sea was quite rough, beach was so clean and unpolluted and we could enjoy a relaxing walk. Food was served as a set menu but the quality and taste was one of the best we have ever enjoyed in any of the hotels. Each meal was freshly prepared to tantalise the taste buds and presented very artfully. Hotel also has a lovely library area and a pool table and a variety of other board games, so you will have plenty to keep you even more entertained. Among all this, what really really made this place so appealing to us was the service of the staff. The GM Mr Kalpa and his staff just delivered an excellent service right from the start. Their continuous friendly and attentive service was excellent. Our special thank you to the owner of this property Mr Nick (for setting up such a wonderful property), the GM Mr Kalpa, Umesh, Aruna and each and every staff member at Buckingham place who served us someway or the other during our stay. We loved everything about our stay and are definitely going to visit again and again. Thank you to all at Buckingham place and all the best.…
Have travelled all over the world and stayed in many 5 star hotels, but nothing compares to the wonderful personal service I received while staying in this special hotel. Nick the owner is on hand at all times to make sure all your needs are catered for so you can just lay back and relax in the sun by the pool and be waited on hand and foot. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is amazing, one night I had the seafood platter, it was the best I have eaten anywhere in the world and I can tell you I’ve had a few in my time!! Sallie Jaye Enjoy your stay !!
Just returned from a blissful 2 week repeat visit to Buckingham Place - having first stumbled upon this paradise gem during a touring visit to Sri Lanka last year. What we found on our original stay was no fluke, Nick and his well trained team provide first class, honest service of the very highest standard in a classy, contemporary and completely authentic way. Absolutely nothing seemed beyond the team to make our stay completely perfect - an immediate “no questions asked” swap for my chosen dinner when I found it contained cheese (thanks for sacrificing your delicious fish and chips Nick!) to a local remedy for a nasty insect bite picked up on safari. It would be unfair to single out particular members of the team because in a modest size establishment the service standards rely on every single one of them playing their part - including the ever present & friendly grounds staff, security team including Bella the dog, waiting staff, accounts team (aka AC control manager in the games room!) driver, housekeeping and bar staff as well as “da management innit” Nick, Kalpa & Umesh (who was surprisingly well tempered on the phone at 5am in the morning when faced with a question about our early morning safari trip! ) Having weathered the storm of Sri Lanka in 2019 we are confident you will emerge from the viral storm of 2020 and come back ever stronger - we certainly can’t wait for another dose of pure relaxation and sublime peace as soon as there are planes to bring us back. …
