Four years visiting Club Palm Bay (CPB) and four years using Slimline Tours - there really is something special about this place and these people. We rented Scrambler bikes for a day which took us all along the coast road for 50 km from Negombo towards Chilaw and visited various places along the way, stopping for lunch in another very... More

We stayed for only 02 nights. It is a very pleasant hotel and very helpful staff. Swimming pool is very big and really nice and our kids did enjoy. The buffet was good and they maintained their standards. The rooms are large and comfortable. You can not enjoy the beach much.

This is the most relaxing holiday I've ever had because the staff were fantastic, the food was amazing and there was plenty of space around the pool. Even though the hotel was really clean a couple of areas could have done with a lick of paint but overall it added to the charm and character of the resort. The pool... More

A very pleasant hotel and staff were generally friendly with one exception. The hotel has a nice atmosphere, the grounds are mature and the layout is great being centrered around the lovely restaurant and pool. The food is pretty good and varied with plenty of 1970s-style desserts which look like they are straight out of an old Delia Smith cookbook.... More

When we stayed here the hotel was in the process of being renovated. We stayed in a lagoon room, which had been renovated. The room was very comfortable, and really big, very good facilities. The food was great, sweets excellant. We went on many trips, taking breakfast and lunch boxes, they were really good. Sitting out by the lagoon was... More

Our stay was not one to be by the beautiful beach - there isn't one! However, as a relaxing resort stay it was wonderful. Food was abundant and the range of superb Sri Lankan cuisine was appreciated (a little too much - I have a soft spot for great curries and the Sri Lankans have one over their neighbours!). Rooms...

Although we did not stay at the Club Palm Bay, we did take a number meals there. The food was excellent and the cost of both food and drinks was very reasonable. The staff are first rate, friendly, helpful and nothing is too much for them. We also used the services of Slim Line Travel to arrange our trips within... More

We initially chose this hotel for the easy/short one hour transfer from the airport having stayed further south last time with a... More
