“Great standard stopover hotel”

Architecturally interesting modern design small hotel-lovely rooms well appointed with 2 pools indoor/outdoor-nice setting-charming staff available at all times-can offer lunch and dinner if requested.. We did a 2 day stopover as we had friends to visit. Really good size outdoor swimming pool. Recommend for stopovers and short stays

“A comfortable and simple hotel”

Overall, we liked the hotel. It is small and cozy, and there are not many people, which is a big plus. The staff were very caring and helpful. There is a beautiful little courtyard for breakfast. A shop is nearby, and there is also a beautiful wild beach. In hotel was a very fiendly and professinal driver who offered many interesting trips around the city.

“Absolutely amazing”

We loved the food, the ambiance and the gentle approach of all the staff. If we ever visit sri lanka again, we're definitely coming back to the palace by ocean.

The staff are super friendly! They are not pushy, but pleasant and always ready to help with any questions. Delicious breakfast. Beautiful beach 5 minutes away by tuk-tuk. Supermarket 1 minute walk away.

“Quiet, relaxing place full of great hospitality by friendly staff”

Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly, hats off to Keshan and team.

My stay at The Palace by Ocean was an exceptional experience in every way. From the friendly staff to the comfortable room and excellent service. I felt welcomed and at ease at every moment. I can recommend this boutique hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.

Room was very big and clean

We had an amazing stay! The wonderful and welcoming staff made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire complex was spotlessly clean, which made the experience even better. The pools were fantastic; perfect for both relaxing and having fun. Great WiFi as well! Overall, a truly enjoyable stay. Highly recommended!

“Outstanding”

All staff we interacted with were outstanding, they were friendly and made us feel very welcome. Food was delightful, room was very clean, comfortable, both the room and the facilities were great and as per the photos. We had a throughly enjoyable stay.

“A perfect ending to our Sri Lanka trip.”

Very luxurious place, big room (King room), comfortable beds and two pools (one inside, one outside), well chosen interior. Very friendly and courteous staff. The food was very good, no need to go somewhere else to have lunch or diner if you are in the hotel.

“Best place to stay”

I don’t have enough stars for this place. Everything was incredable. The staff is amazing and very friendly.

deluxe location kind staff super food

The room smell amazing. The personnel are very nice and friendly (no mosquitoes), it is a bit far from bentota, and about 15min from the beach.

“Best place ever”

This is honestly the most amazing place we’ve ever stayed! Everything about this hotel is simply perfect — beautiful and spotless rooms, an incredible atmosphere, and a team that truly goes above and beyond for their guests. The service is outstanding, everyone is so kind, helpful, and welcoming. You can really feel how much they care. We’re so grateful for this wonderful experience — it truly felt like a little piece of paradise! 🌴✨

“Very good neat and nice place for a relaxed stay with good breakfast. Not exactly on the beach though walk to the beach”

The ambience and location were very good

“Very poor service, expensive. Not what was advertised”

Clean

The hotel provided a good base for a short trip. Food was a highlight, with satisfying meals. Room comfort was adequate – nothing special, but perfectly functional. Staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The pool area was nice and a welcome respite from the day. The only real downside was the lack of a view from the room. This was not a deal-breaker, but it did limit the overall experience. Overall, a solid choice for a basic, comfortable, and well-staffed hotel.

“Lovely trip and place”

Location was a little away from the water sports areas and beach but we enjoyed our stay especially the outdoor heated pool at night

Breakfast is good. Friendly staff.
