Service was not good. Morning they denied to serve a coffee. Said it will be served during breakfast. The kettle in the room to make instant coffee was very dirty. So could not prepare in the room either. Also they closed the kitchen at night by 8.30 pm ans we had to go out to another hotel for dinner.

Location was very good.

For some reason, the place seemed to attract a lot of flies. There should have been some screen for the balcony and some pest control light/device in the rooms. This was even after the rooms were cleaned regularly, so it seemed to have to do something with external environment rather than the cleanliness of the place itself. The location is a bit far away from markets and if you want to buy anything, you have to travel a bit via tuktuk.

The resort is situated right on the beach and you can literally walk out on the beach from the resort. The rooms were spacious (with a sit out area) and clean. Breakfast had very few options but was wholesome. There are multiple restaurants within walking distance on the beach and a couple of them (Janu's and Palm) were really good. The hotel was able to arrange a cab for a decent price for a day trip to Galle and also helped us with the drop back to Colombo.

Tired towels. Limescaled shower taps. Mothballs in safe and drawers stank! Sun loungers round pool and beach in need of some repairs.

The location is stunning, right beside the beach with a perfect view of the sea and with other smart and casual restaurants and bars within a short stroll. Watched a mega lightening thunderstorm from the excellent vaulted balcony as the drainage channels funnelled gallons of water down to the sand beneath. Air con very effective. Also has a roof fan for milder temperature. Daily cleaned swimming pool. Helpful, happy staff. Very competent lady receptionist speaks perfect English. Breakfast on first floor gave a great view. Good choice of either Sri Lankan or European breakfasts pre ordered the night before. Reliable security guard on duty downstairs at start of steps up to the rooms. Taxis and tuk tuk runs to order.

Pool is not clean enough, restaurant dinning tables and chairs should be clean, waiters don't have proper uniform, and they are not accepting card payments.

Room is better than expected.

The half board menu was very limited. The bathroom needed some TLC and for regular cleaning to be maintained to prevent the build up in some areas.

Lovely location on the beach. The room was large with a good size balcony.

Food was awful, hotel is tired, run down and rooms are mouldy and damp. I arrived late at night and couldn’t get in even though I had told them what time to expect me. Had to call them to open the door. Room hadn’t been prepared, no soap or toiletries, stained old toilet seat and dirty sheets. I had to search for a member of staff to replace them before I could go to bed… door handle fell off the door.. and the smell of black mould was bad and not nice to sleep in.

The hotel is pretty bad but the location is good.

Hotel offered set menu instead of buffet with very limited selection of varieties.

Actually I booked this hotels on behalf of my father and mother. Both of them visited the hotel and stayed there for one night. According to their feedback the staff was very friendly and roos are spacious. food was delicious.

A/C didn’t work well and noisy, and inside the room was humidity. Room service was until 20:30 and we were not informed of this upon check-in. There was no TV in the room even though I heard some resort hotels don’t have TV.

Only property location

Unfortunately they no longer have the bar and restaurant open, however there are many bars and restaurants open locally just a few steps along the beach.

The property was right on the beach in a quiet and relaxing area. We had a lovely warm welcome from the family who ran the hotel. The room was large, simply furnished and clean with a really comfy bed and absolutely superb views out to the beach. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful with good timely service. The pool was nice and there were plenty of sun beds around the pool and on the beach. There was shade under the trees.

It’s completely abandoned property. All areas are dirty, very old, all furniture everything include fridge, door lock, bathroom fittings are broken. Pathetic.

Only view as it was near the beach side.

Whispering Palms has so much potential if only management cared more. The room was very tired, bedding in a poor state and curtaining torn and general cleaning needs urgent attention. There were lots of flies around. Our room was supposedly "cleaned" yet coffee cups were not washed and bathroom mat and towels not replaced on our second day. We stayed at various other lower star places across Sri Lanka at a fraction of the cost of Whispering Palms and had far greater cleanliness, hospitality and value for money. Not a place we would consider staying at again or recommend to others.

Direct access to the beach and good pool.
