スリランカで過ごす最後のリゾートとして、カルタラにあるロイヤルパームズビーチホテルに宿泊しました。ホテルはリゾート感が溢れるいいホテルだと思いました。ホテルに到着して部屋に浴槽が無かったこともあり、再度フロントに出向いて、浴槽のある部屋に変更してもらいました。従業員の方々も快く申し出を受けてくれました。このホテルに２泊しましたが、カルタラ自体はあまり観光スポットもなく、ホテルのみでのんびり過ごすことが目的でした。海岸は波がかなり荒く、海での遊泳には向いていませんでしたが、プールサイドのみでも十分くつろげました。今は、コロナの影響で観光客も非常に少なく、ホテルの周りのレストラン、土産物屋もほとんど開いていませんでした。また、土曜日は宿泊客も多かったのですが、日曜日はほとんどだれもおらず、閑散とした感じになっていました。特に月曜日の朝の朝食はビュッフェスタイルではなく、ホテル内のレストランで注文して食べるスタイルでした。ホテルの設備は多少古さは感じますが、お湯の出もよく不便なところはありませんでした。ただ一つ気になったのは、宿泊客も少ないためかもしれませんが、夜の１０：３０頃に確認の電話がありました。寝ているところを確認の電話でたたき起こされてしまいました。確認の電話はもう少し早い時間にしてもらいたいものです。

Le plus intéressant pour moi est la situation de l’hôtel dans une cocoteraie sur la plage ,mais ce qui ,est décevant c'est la mer ou on ne peut pas se baigner car dangereuse et avec le drapeau rouge tout le long du séjour .D'autres parts l’hôtel n'a pas de navettes a disposition du client quand on arrive à l’aéroport il faut se débrouiller avec un taxi car l’hôtel est a plus de 8O km INADMISSIBLE quand on vient de faire 18h d'avion

Great place, would say 4* not quite 5*

We stayed here on our honeymoon, and was expecting a little more hospitality to be honest couldn't even get a free drink out of them 😅. They do hound you a little in the mornings for room service so don't expect a lay in at this place! The food was really good, bar slightly over priced so all inclusive would be worth it if you intend to spend most of your time at the hotel. We tended to eat out everyday and if you want real Sri lankan food with a smile go to Kamals cafe 2mins walk out of the hotel over the train track. Really nice man and great chef. You can get a feast for less than £4 normally from him! The breakfast was extensive with loads to choose from! The pool was clean and very big, becareful on the beach as you will get harassed from the locals as they try to steal business from the hotel guests. Just say not interested and walk away asap. Also we had to ask for our welcome drink on the last day of our stay, and they even tried to charge us 900rs but then sorted it out for free.Overall 4 out 5 from us.

Чудесный отдых

Отель замечательный, проживали в номере 207, слабоват wi-fi чисто, комфортно, территория большая,зеленая, пляж необычный с большими волнами и могучим океаном, но всё равно купались, завтраки обильные, вкусные, вокруг много "едальн", где за Ваши деньги предложат морепродукты и любые экскурсии, поездки, до маркета минут 30 пешком

Das Hotel an sixh war sehr schön. Großer Pool und Zimmer. Sauber war es schon, allerdings mit ein paar Abstrichen. Housekeeping kam Abends sogar noch mal um nach dem rechten zu sehen und Kleinigkeiten (Mülleimer leeren,Handtücher aufhängen...) tu erledigen. Die meisten Angestellten waren sehr freundlich. An der Rezeption könnte man allerdings etwas freundlicher sein. Alles in allen, hat es uns aber sehr gut gefallen.

We liked location large bedroom with sea view large swimming pool, attractive grounds. We didn’t like Slow service in all restaurants / bars (but didn’t use Japanese restaurant so can’t say) . Large amounts of mould in our bathroom and the permanent smell of damp in the room. The fact that the loungers and parasols were ‘pre-booked’ either by the majority of German and Russian guests risers who didn’t reappear for hours or by being ‘encouraged’ to pay a pool guy to miraculously conjure one up!

Viihtyisä ja kaunis hotelli. Erinomainen henkilökunta. Isot huoneet. Jätteiden lajitteluun oli hotellin pihalle laitettu asianmukaiset roska-astiat mutta joka päivä roska-astiat kuitenkin tyhjennettiin samaan jätesäkkiin.

Very relaxing stay here en route to the airport. We were under the impression that the hotel had a 24 hour airport shuttle but we were too late to book a seat. After initially panicking the reception booked us a taxi from outside to pick us up, panic over!!

Ok hotel

We were only there a day 2 days one night. The chef Neerl made us a cheese and onion toastie his first time which was kind and not on the menu. We booked a sea view but got a pool view but couldn’t move us as they said they were fully booked ! That was it! It’s over an hour away from airport and cost £50 for taxi which is expensive.

ideal place for family with small kids!

We travelled with 4y/o kid and loved there so much. Their hotel is not flash new one, but well maintained. Pool is so much fun. Restaurants serves variety of foods from morning to the night. if you are looking for somewhere to relax, this is the one! just one thing you need to be aware is that there is really weak WIFI in your room. 期待以上のホテルでした。４歳の子連れ旅行でしたが、こどもは広いプールに大喜び。庭にはオオトカゲがいたり、ブランコがあったり、1日中ホテルで楽しんでいました。食事も申し分のない種類と味で、コスパも良し！また機会があれば是非泊まりたいホテルです。

Nice hotel. Too bad they close the pool and spa at 18:00. And the gym an hour later. It is not much to do in the area and both shops and restaurants close rather early.
