Tamarind Villa is a seamless blend of modern luxury and timeless charm. The villa’s tasteful antique furniture exudes grandeur, beautifully complemented by contemporary amenities like air conditioning, a jacuzzi, a mini gym, and a fully equipped kitchen with the latest appliances. The spacious verandah is a highlight, offering a serene view of the lush, green lawn. It's the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of tea and embrace the slower pace of life. Despite its tranquil ambiance, the villa is conveniently located in the heart of Kelaniya, just a short distance from the iconic Kelaniya Temple. The breakfast we ordered was a delight—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The staff stood out for their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring our stay was comfortable. However there is a minor drawback. Finding the villa can be challenging as there is no board displaying its name. Adding clear directions or a visible sign board would greatly enhance the overall experience. Overall , Tamarind villa is an excellent retreat for anyone seeking a luxurious and peaceful getaway with a touch of history.

It there were 6 stars, they’d get every one and have earned it. Beautiful place. Amazing staff. Buffets are delicious and plentiful. Rooftop (pool, spas, park, bar…) are incredible. Bridge to mall with restaurants, spa, movie theater, shops… Hotel offers free City Tours daily. 10 minutes south with hotel shuttle and you are at the Marino Beach Lounge (right on the beach)…perfect spot. Staff are some of the nicest people I’ve met One of my favorite places in my travels. 🙏

The hotel has a really great environment and an excellent sense of design. When I checked in, the owner wasn't around, but someone else was arranged to help me with the check-in process, which was quite an interesting experience. The next day, when I left, the owner was very kind. All in all, it was a wonderful stay. However, I only stayed in Colombo for one day. The room gave me a really nice feeling that day.

Heritage Eco Resort exceeded my expectations for an extended business stay. The spacious room provided ample relaxation space, and the hotel's amenities ensured a comfortable and convenient experience. Reliable Wi-Fi, accommodating staff, and a central location made my stay stress-free. I highly recommend it for both business trips and family vacations. The calm and quiet environment is perfect for unwinding, whether you're visiting Colombo as a foreigner or a local.

Well equipped apartment with all the necessities: a cozy bedroom, kitchenette, additional items such as salt & pepper, detergent soap, washing powder & liquids made the stay quite easier and quite comfortable. I really enjoyed all the facilities and extended my stay by another week due to the convenience of the location. This is my second stay at the Paramount Residence.

The apartment was very clean, spacious, well equipped and well maintained. Kitchen utensils, complimentary items (tea/coffee/sugar), pepper, salt and oil were available free of charge for the guests with constant water supply. Very safe environment for solo travellers especially ladies with calm and quiet surrounding. Conveniently located with easy access to supermarkets, hospitals and food outlets etc. Highly recommended and definitely will make another visit in the future. 🙂
