David
The hotel's proximity to the beach and good food were perfect. Run by a friendly English couple, the standard and cleanliness are excellent. The waves during this season can be unsafe for small children to swim. The balcony offers a fantastic view. The pool is clean and refreshing.

The location was perfect for a relaxing vacation, and we enjoyed various activities such as snorkeling and diving in the beautiful surroundings. The hotel's pool was brilliant, well cleaned every morning, and the rooms were well furnished, providing a comfortable and spacious setting for our large family. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner options were also enjoyable.
My children wanted more entertainment options specifically designed for families with children during our stay.

During my Christmas stay, I really enjoyed the spacious and clean rooms with stunning views of the pool and the ocean. The large, airy rooms provided both air conditioning and a fan, allowing for personalized comfort. The location of the hotel, right on the beach, was perfect for taking beautiful walks and enjoying the sound of the waves breaking on the sand. the restaurant offered a delicious and extensive menu at reasonable prices, making dining a delightful experience.
One of the drawbacks I experienced during my stay was the noise from the nearby road and train track. Although the hotel had double glazed doors to minimize the noise, it was still noticeable at times, especially for light sleepers.

Spent xmas holidays at a hotel, which was located right on the beach. Loved the beautiful pool and the delicious food offered here. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The rooms were comfortable and spacious with a great view of the ocean. The nearby turtle sanctuaries were a definite highlight of the trip.
The hotel was located on a busy road, which caused a lot of noise at night and made it difficult to sleep. there was a train track running close to the hotel, which added to the noise.

I had a great time during my stay at Whispering Palms. The beach was clean and the rooms were spotless. I loved the large rooms with comfy beds and the new bathrooms. The views from every room onto the pool and beach were lovely. The restaurant on site served good food with a vast selection, all made and tasted very well. I would highly recommend this hotel for a quiet and relaxing holiday.

We recently stayed at a 4-star hotel and had a truly amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The location of this place is perfect for those seeking a peaceful getaway. The breathtaking view of the pool and ocean from our balcony was simply stunning. The room itself was spacious, clean, and had all the necessary amenities we could ask for. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job of keeping everything in order and the bed linen was of good quality. The hotel also provided free extras like rolls, which was a nice touch. We opted for the half board option and were not disappointed. The food in the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. There is also a great selection of fresh fruit and menu options for breakfast.

The rooms were spacious and offered a good view. The staff ensured a courteous welcome. The food was quite good, probably more on the western side. Helpful tuk-tuk drivers were available near the hotel, and local restaurants were within walking distance. A quiet and perfect location to relax and unwind.
There were no ATMs within immediate proximity for convenience. Limited breakfast menu, average swimming pool, and no gym.

I had an amazing time at this hotel. The staff were incredibly polite and attentive, especially the pool attendant who worked really hard. I loved the delicious food, particularly at the on-site restaurant and bar. The location was perfect with a beautiful swimming pool, direct access to a lovely long sandy beach and magnificent sunsets. The personnel spoke different languages which helped a lot.
It was all superb.

The hotel had a beautiful beachfront location, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunset views. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service throughout our stay. The food at the hotel's restaurant was fantastic, with a wide variety of delicious meals to choose from. We also enjoyed the spacious rooms with sea-facing balconies, offering a great view of the pool and beach. Another advantage was the availability of tuk-tuks nearby, making it easy to explore the surrounding area.
The occasional issue with the room's wifi, although the open area wifi worked well. Additionally, we found that some of the linen and towels were a bit worn and could use better maintenance.

Nestling in the heart of Induruwa Beach, this hotel offers stunning sea-facing balconies in each room. Picture yourself relaxing on the balcony, sipping a cocktail, and listening to the soothing sound of the surf. It's like having your own private slice of paradise right at your doorstep.
Limited beach bar access.
