dated hotel but spacious and nice rooms
Nice, clean and spacious room and bathroom. Hotel a bit dated, expected more premium quality for 4 stars and from the photos. Great breakfast but lunch (for an additional fee) portion was small and average. The beach is ok but not great.

Great place
Great hotel for the money. Great relaxing setting with well maintained grounds. Great beach and pool. Beach restaurant food was excellent as was the breakfast buffet. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Nightly entertainment was also provided in the form of live music. Would highly recommend. I didn't use the spa but prices seems a bit high compared to what you would find outside the hotel.

Nice Hotel on the Beach
My husband and I enjoyed our visit to The Palms. It was a convenient location as Beruwala is near (we walked to it but it was a hike). Relaxing, breakfast buffet was great, staff was helpful, but internet was only in the public area and even then only in certain areas in the public area.

Outdated Hotel, with terrible amenities
The Palms Hotel in Beruwela looks like it was built in the 70's and hasn't been updated since. The rooms are dirty, with antiquated furniture. The is no internet service available in the room. The Breakfast Buffet is the worst I have experienced in comparable Asian Hotels. The only saving grace is the friendly staff and great beach. Overall I cannot recommend this Hotel to anyone in good conscience - look elsewhere.

Best to avoid this..
The property is beautiful with plenty of wooden architecture n greenery. That is where the pros end. We stayed for 3 nights with kids and regretted every single day. The rooms were musty with strong stench of old furniture. The room towels, bedsheets looked like rags from the last century. The buffet breakfast was the same on every single day with limited options. No fresh juice, no brown bread, cut fruits with flies on it. There are 2 restaurants, and one only serves buffet for all meals. The other restaurant and the in room dining has very limited options, especially for kids. The beach is dirty n littered as it is a public beach. Best to avoid this one at all cost and shift to it next door neighbor in the north. You will not regret at all.

Lovely hotel close to the beach
I was here with my mum and sister for a couple of nights and it was worth every penny! We were given a room better than that was originally booked and the staff was always really helpful and friendly. The food wasn't as great and was still expensive. Overall, excellent place for a short stay with a lovely pool, garden and beach!

Pretty much okay.
It was overall good but can be improved by adding a few more items in it's cuisine and also having their own transport facilities. An absolute necessity for tourists!! After all people from all over the world are coming to this hotel too and wouldn't have to be running around finding and fixing taxis from local vendors by being asked sky high prices for traveling!!!!!!!

Go anywhere else!
First stuck us in a horrible room which smelt, horrible staff who had no idea, crap food, gym and opening hrs for gym and pool where terrible. The beach was nice. Waste of money, staying in a 1 star hotel provided us with better food and customer service.

Not happy, Dubai

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very poor
Extremely slow service. Whenever we asked them to do anything it was as if they were doing us a favour when in fact that is their job. I asked if they could change a $20 note to two $10 bills and they said no and refused to check if they had the change. They tried to charge us an extra $80 each for being in the hotel on Christmas Eve when we arrived but we had already paid the bill online. They took 1 hr 20 mins to serve a cheese burger at the restaurant. Also the area is a dump with a rubbish beach and dodgy people hanging around. Do not stay at this hotel!!!!

Great location on the beach.
Great location with access directly onto the beach. Good swimming pools, towels sunbeds etc provided. Rooms very comfortable, soft comfy beds a/c very effective. Great sea views from our room on the third floor. Our first night was in a room on the third floor adjacent to the lobby with lots of noise from the live entertainment which went on until midnight - them noved to room away from lobby and much better. Several beach cafes nearby with some good food.

Wonderful beach location, aspirational attitutde
They say they're 3.5 stars, but they were certainly aspiring to more than that. The location is great and the service was really good. Nothing was a problem and there was a really good atmosphere among all the staff. Every person seemed happy and content, eager to do a complete and thorough job. I think the place is better than it looks in the photos!
