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.

Établissement agréable
Le personnel a eu du mal à trouver notre réservation. A part ce point, notre séjour a été agréable. Chambre spacieuse et propre. Belle piscine, personnel à l'écoute. Le seul hôtel ayant accepté d'envoyer nos vêtements de fête au pressing !

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.

Liked: Staff & service
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!
