Honest review
A quiet shore away from city bustle: Club Palm Bay stands in the fishing village of Marawila, between the Indian Ocean and a gentle lagoon — twenty acres of greenery, reliably screened from onlookers and beach vendors.
The atmosphere here is made by the staff — a team for whom family values are no slogan: you are met with a smile, and the warm, homely tone of service holds for the whole stay.
The pride of the grounds is the swimming pool, one of the largest in Sri Lanka. The rooms are spacious and well kept, looking onto a green garden: a bedroom, a bathroom with a shower and a private outdoor sitting area.
Do the sums on logistics in advance: about an hour and a half from Bandaranaike International Airport (37 km), 2 hours 15 minutes from Colombo, 20 minutes to Marawila itself.
Come here for a calm family holiday by the ocean — away from the noise of Colombo and from the tourist crush of Negombo alike.
