Unique resort situated on one of two best beaches in Tangalle. Second one is right next to it where Anantara resort is. Palm Paradise has two sections. Modern and classic. In a classic you can find wooden cabanas and cottages. In a modern are villas, even single villa or two floor. Modern ones with AC, classic with fans. Modern part has its own restaurant for breakfast,lunch,dinner. Obviously you can eat in both. Separation is probably done for more privacy. Also villas are close to the pool. Cabanas are so romantic and spacious as well. In the cabanas are two fans,one in the middle of the ceiling,second on the wall- above your bed which is very convinient especialy during the night. Each cabana has its own pair of sunbeds (usable only in the garden). Also there are provided towels, beach towels,showergel and shampoo. The beach itself is lovely. Sunbeds and sheltres are available,but there is a rule to order beverage or food from the owner (usualy small hut/restaurant behind). Whichone you choose is up on you. I tried eat in all of them,but most I like in the middle where young mr.Roy has his place. A curly longhair smiling guy. His english was understandable and he also understand you! There are several gates to the beach (corners and middle of the garden). Gates are closing around midnight. In case you stay on a beach longer,you should wait for the security guard who is usualy nearby. Palm Paradise has more than 35 years of history and you can feel it from very experienced staff and management. Lovely garden is full of coconut palms, exotic flowers, squarrels,geckos,leguans and other lovely animals. Thanks god there are still places like this on the Earth. Enjoy your stay!

Great location with great potential but the current management is weak. Food is poor and sloppy. English breakfast has only bread, jam with butter, eggs with a beverage. No meat or sausages. For the price, they charge the food is tasteless. Customer service is poor and the front office staff lack customer-centricity. Anyhow the room service staff was friendly and supportive. Would not recommend it for local travellers as most toilets don't have a bidet shower.

Our visit was very disappointed to this resort. We reserved a family villa maybe a month before our visit to Siri Lanka and the reservation was confirmed. when we arrived ( at 2130) we surprised that the reservation changed to two separated rooms ( full with lizards ) rather than the villa ! And without reason. We called the manager and he did not do anything rather than staring to us! He said we have 6 villas and all the villas are reserved!!. ok then?. they wasted our time and disrespect us as a guests. not recommended .

This place is a real paradise! It was our second stay ( first two years ago)here and definitelly not the last. The resort is located in peaceful palm park next to the pretty beach. The cabanas are not close to each other, so you have enough space and privacy. Cabin is big and comfy, with nice terasse. There are two fans in the cabin. Bathroom is big. If you are a nature lover this is a perfect place for you. There are many animals around to watch like peacocks, squirells, lizarads and many birds. The staff is really professional, helpfull and polite. Resort is only 2 km from the city centre, you can get there with tuk tuk for 300 rupees. Also there are a few very friendly and cute and well behaved dogs which are also vaccinated and make a great companions. We loved this place very much.

We spent 2 nights here in a private hut. Can’t fault the location and the service. Meals were very tasty and breakfast too. Definitely recommend staying here. Thank you.

We loved the Cabana. The included breakfast is very good, consists of fresh fruits & juices, eggs and a choice between Sri Lankian or international breakfast. The service is kind, discret and helpful, at the same time personal - very comforting.

We are traveling around the island with my family and discover beautiful locations. This hotel is just one of those places that I was lucky enough to visit and enjoy its atmosphere.🫶🏻 The hotel has a really nice location because it is near to the city, pharmacies, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes a few minutes drive. The hotel has a huge and amazing area with several types of accommodation. We lived in a villa. I want to note the modern design, spacious room with all the necessary things and panoramic windows overlooking the jungle. There is also a pleasant lounge area on the balcony. It was nice to have a coffee there and enjoy nature, birds, peacocks, squirrels. Most of the time we spent in the outdoor pool area. Pleasant water, delicious food and comfortable sunbeds helped us to relax . I also want to note that there is a private beach, where we met an amazing sunset and attentive staff who helped us with everything. The food was also very tasty, varied and aesthetically beautiful. A truly private and quiet place where you feel really relaxed and safe. Thanks for the rest. We will definitely come back again😃

Palm Paradise Cabanas is located next to the beautiful and safety beach. Our cabana had a nice see view located in wonderful natural environment full of birds and giving the reset from daily duties. The service is on top level fulfilling our requests. The breakfast and restaurant service exceeds expectations. Very nice, safe and clean place. We were nicely surprised of free of charge bicycles renting.Paweł

Wonderful property in the jungle but on an amazing beach. Surrounded by wildlife we stayed in an air-conditioned villa which was spacious and comfortable.The food was excellent on the whole - we did have a bad reaction to a seafood platter but that can happen anywhere.The service from the staff was exemplary.The only staff member whose name I know , because he told us , was Hasif who served us at the Pavilion restaurant with a charm and professionalism typical of all the staff. Thank you to Hasif and everyone at Palm Paradise for making our holiday stay so memorable.

It was fantastic. Super calming place. Clean rooms. Nice pool area.

Was there in December on the Xmas Eve with my wife. So a delayed review. It's a beautiful property which contains Cabanas as well as modern apartments. We stayed in a Cabana. If you are expecting AC and comfort of a resort wrong choice. Look somewhere else. It's build to give the feeling of a Cabana. Room was clean and has been refurbished. You might face some trouble in hot water. But for us it was not a big deal. The beach in front is really a good place where you can safely swim and body board. Less crowded. You have couple of eateries on the beach which are not part of the hotel. So if you stay here please do not hesitate to grab a drink or meal from them too as well. These small eateries had the biggest impact of dwindling tourism. I noticed there is a little bit of tension between the hotel owner and these small shops. However both the hotel and small eateries are equally contribute to the community. Hoping both will co exist and give a great experience to the visitors. Owner of the hotel has been in Sri Lanka for many years and he has loyal bunch of staff who delivers a superb service. Xmas night dinner was so good and had a really tasty steamed fish. Local band which played some Sinhala/Hindi classics was my favorite part of the dinner. Things to improve : well curd is being overly used as home made cheese spread. Also there is a beautiful sea view which is covered by fence.But it's the owner's preference can't complain ;)

Very nice hotel with a wildlife and real jungle, the beach is super near, but be aware of local dogs they might be a bit annoying, besides that I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel's main strengths are its convenient location near the beach and the Pavillion restaurant. Breakfast offers a limited menu of fruit, eggs, coffee, and tea, with Sri Lankan options available. Unfortunately, the hotel seems to lack proper management expertise in hospitality. Upon entering, you might get the impression of an abandoned place. The reception area is unclean, the room's air conditioning doesn't cool effectively, towels appear unchanged for a long time, and the quality of shampoo and shower gel is poor. Additionally, windows are dusty. Considering these issues, I cannot recommend this place

I took my parents here for two nights and we booked both a villa and a beach cabana. It’s a vast property with lovely spaces to walk and enjoy nature. One of the biggest attractions for me was how compassionate and kind the management is towards the community dogs who stray in the property, who are well behaved and treated well by staff and guests alike. It really created a healing, peaceful energy to see such lovely co-existence, which takes hospitality to a different level. There is even a tame peacock who visited the restaurants! I loved making lots of animal friends during my stay. There is a large difference in the quality of accommodation, as the modern AC villas are quite comfortable and beautifully designed, whilst the cabanas are not as well maintained and are somewhat dusty and dated. However both of the room types have their own individual charm. I felt the amenities and facilities for the more expensive rooms were lacking and didn’t match the price, and the food needs improvement. The staff was very friendly and helpful at all times. Overall, a very pleasant and relaxing stay, despite the room for little improvements!

The great hospitality, polite & courteous staff. The food was delicious with variety of Items. Great location with a stunning view of the Indian Ocean. Ideal Place for a calm & relax holiday. Highly recommend.

one of the best bungalow accommodation that I ever visited. cozy, spacious, in the nature, close to the beach, with the pool. one thing you need to know is that waves can be loud if your bungalow is close to beach.

There are places that are amazing not only because they are pretty but mostly, because people working there make it special. Shashika was one of them. Amazing guy...During our stay in palm paradise he learned also to speak basic things from our language and because of him a lot of people from our group didn't want to go out to have a lunch, dinner, they enjoyed to stay in palm paradise and speak with him. I must say that all other staff was also fantastic, helpful, cheering and always happy. They make you feel home since when you step in. Rooms was really nice. Nature around amazing. Breakfast is very good. Manager Rohan, Janaka thank you for amazing time in your place. Hope to see you again.

The cabanas are quite rustic but that should be apparent based on the description on the website. If you need something nicer the villas are great. The restaurant staff were wonderful and the beach is stunning.

Absolutely stunning palm garden, right at the beautiful beach. Very comfortable accomodation - super nice villas (we got nice, surprise upgrade), nicely decorated and comfortable. Decent breakfast, tasty lunch/ dinner options (seafood platter highly recommended). Fantastic staff - helpful, kind, smiling. Nice pool with beautiful high trees and palm trees above, lovely, non-invasive animals (peacocks, monkeys, mungos, squirrels and lots of birds). Quick and easy commuting nearby by tuk-tuks. Very convenient transportation from/ to the airport organized by hotel and delivered personally by manager - Rohan (thank you!). We felt very safe and enjoyed every minute. Nearby beach - Goyambokka - beautiful, however hardly swimmable (strong current and high waves).

Haven’t visited Sri Lanka in quite a few years, brought tears to my eyes to see the dogs are still around. Stop by for a stay if you’re in the area. A wonderful natural setting right by the beach. Waves are good for body surfing. Thank you staff for another pleasant stay.

For the price, this place is really good. Great location on Goyambokka beach, very comfortable villas, next to Anantara & Amanwella where you can go to have food / drinks and amazing views and use their pool / beach bars. I highly recommend going to Il Mare restaurant at Anantara. From Palm Paradise, there is No easy direct access to Silent beach, have to take 5-min TukTuk. But the Goyambokka beach is very much accessible. Goyambokka is fun for swimming. Regarding the breakfast, while the service is good, the breakfast itself at Palm Paradise is not good, there are only 2-3 options (Omlette is good, pancake not good, Sri Lankan breakfast we did not try).

Nice Eco Friendly hotel Right Infront of the Beautiful Goyambokka Beach. Lot of trees under hotel premisses it is give you staying jungle like feeling , We staying at Cabana it's give you uncommon experience. Pool set up is very different as well . Hotel Staff is good and food as well , Definitely place to be if you are traveller.

This is one of the best hotel that we stayed.very calm environment and excellent hospitality...highly recommended this palm paradise hotel

Great service, lovely location right by the beach. Superb customer service, amazing food and good value for money. Really friendly team, cabanas very comfortable and clean. We have been here a number of times, it is an idyllic place to stay and enjoy Sri Lanka. We would definitely recommend Palm Paradise and the lovely hosts there. Kyle and Sally

Beautiful hidden wooden cabins near the coolest beach in Tangalle ! It's really green due to the many coconut trees in the property (watch your head) so it might lack of sun light otherwise it's a real cool place
