I ended up staying much longer than I originally planned because I was just too comfortable and happy to move elsewhere. The guesthouse is located steps away from the beach in Uppuveli, which is an idyllic location for anyone not interested in the typical busy beach scene. The Palm Beach resort has simple, immaculate rooms that are cleaned daily. Rooms... More

It was one of best accomodations at Sri lanka. Very kind owner Luca and master of italian food Dona are very good combination for relax. Clean big room, tasty food, positive atmosphere, lovely garden and helpful staff. Just 100 metres from beautiful beach (much cleaner than for example Negombo beach). Good value for money. There is not hot water but... More

After three weeks in SL, our kids were a bit over rice & roti, homestays and guest houses. We were getting jaded. Then we came to Dona & Luca's place. Firstly, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Secondly the guest house is enclosed, so we were happy for thekids to run around and then there's the food. Each night, a... More

Stayed here for 5 nights with my husband and my son, and we had a wonderful holiday with Dona and Luca. Room is simple but clean and comfortable. Chatted with Luca while having breakfast then off to the beach. Come back to have Dona's crostini with beer for lunch, playing cards or games and back to beach again. Then here's... More

The Palm Beach Resort is just a good place - atmosphere is beautiful, rooms are nice and clean, food is really good, owners are kind and helpful. We stayed five nights and felt absolutely comfortable. (Extra plus: three little puppies at the time we had been there.) The only thing we didn't like was the polluted beach! Plastic waste everywhere.... More

Overall a nice and clean accomodation with a lovely garden - in a very European atmosphere. If you come to sri lanka to meet other European travellers and enjoy Italian food, the place is perfect. If you want to experience sri lankan hospitality, then this may not be the ideal place.

This place has really clean rooms with very comfy beds. We slept very well under the mosquitonets and the fan. Like almost everybody else we also liked the food cooked by Dona a lot. Not that we were fed up with rice & curry, but pasta made the way it should be made is very nice for a change in... More

We arrived at the palm beach resort after an uninspiring night at the sea lotus park hotel, unsure of what joy uppuveli was going to bring. A morning coffee speaking with Luca was all that was needed- the local knowledge, relaxed atmosphere and pleasant setting had us booking a room in no time. Luca was very upfront with the accommodation-... More

Stayed here in September 2012 with my girlfriend. Very nice place, awesome beach (swimming, not surfing). Owners (Luca and Dona) are very helpful and great people. They really care about your stay and experience. We had great fun here and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Basically, there is nothing much to do in this part... More

We stayed here for nearly a week and we absolutely loved it. Dona and Luca are truly wonderful people- warm, friendly and extremely caring. The place is extraordinarily good value for money and is very close to the beach so I'm not sure why people have complained about the rooms being 'tatty'. Dona and Luca make sure the rooms as...
