Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Palm stone resort t is tucked away in the hillside of Kitulgala. The road is an adventure in itself, beautiful with a bit of challenges. There is a main house ( really big and open space) with a nice big pool. The six very big comfortable rooms are in the middle of the forest overlooking the nice wild river with hudge stones. The nature, the sound of the birds and other animals are overwhelmingly beautiful. The food ( dinner & breakfast) was really nice, we ordered in advance. It is a great place if you like to organize a small retreat sessions. Together with Sameera, we walked up to the waterfall and swom in the natural pond. The water was so pure and nice! Sameera shared some local activities with us, he showed a rubber production among other things. The staff of the Palmstone resort is super friendly and attentive! Overall a great stay!
Negative: Nothing
Summary: Peace in paradise!
