This was definitely the best place we stayed in during our holiday in Sri Lanka. The owners, Paul and Lorraine, are such laid back, friendly, warm people, when you stay with them, you don't want to leave! Their guesthouse looks wonderful, nice and spacious rooms, with clean bathrooms. The terraces are nicely decorated and a nice place to have a... More

This is a very late review. However, I couldn't recommend Palm Grove more highly. Lorraine and Paul are truly great people who make you feel very wlecome. Having travelled around Sri Lanka, I know that the rooms are very good for the price compared to elsewhere. Very comfortable bed, super clean and lovely outdoor areas to sit and relax. I... More

We got to a bit of a slow start with this place because our AC was broken (and we had a hard time finding the place), but after Paul had it fixed it was all as smooth. Lorraine and Paul are so nice and helpful, and if they don`t know something the rest of the attentive staff usually does. The... More

We spent in this lovely guesthouse a week in January 2013. It's located in a 5 minute walk from the beach of Unawatuna. Palm Grove is situated in a very beautiful and quiet place among the trees. The breakfast (omelet and fruits) was served on a spacious terrace with an amazing view to the jungle. And there is also another... More

We stayed here two nights, once on our way to Mirissa and also on the way back. The guesthouse rooms are very clean and comfortable and there are some good communal areas for reading or sitting around. It is a short (5 minute) walk to restaurants and the main beach but this means you benefit from it being quieter and... More

Palm Grove has very friendly atmosphere. The guesthouse is decorated with relaxed, but good taste. It is located about 200m from the Unawatuna´s main (and only) street, surrounded with trees. You can sit on terraces and watch monkeys play in the trees, while eating breakfast or enjoying refreshing beverage in the evening. We stayed one week in family room with... More

Want to be friendly welcomed, sleep as long as you want, have a great breakfast with fresh fruit afterwards while you watch the monkeys in the trees and all the beautiful plants and flowers? Then go for it!
