*Casa Winnie- A Home Away from Home – A Truly Heartwarming Experience* From the moment we arrived at Casa Winnie , we were embraced with warmth and kindness. In one of the most difficult times for our family, Mrs. Priyani and family went beyond being just a host, she became a source of comfort, support, and genuine care. Her generosity and compassion made us feel at home, as if we were part of her own family. Every little detail, from her thoughtful gestures to the welcoming atmosphere, reflected her incredible heart. It is rare to find a place where hospitality is not just a service but a heartfelt experience. We will always be grateful for the love and care we received here, and we wholeheartedly recommend Casa Winnie to anyone looking for more than just a place to stay. This is a place where kindness lives, and we will forever hold it close to our hearts. With deepest gratitude.

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.

Great staff at reception, very convenient location to visit all main attractions, beautiful rooftop pool. The value for money is hard to beat as the rooms are very good, with balconies and even free minibar with some drinks. Rooms are well equipped and beds are comfy and decent-sized. Really loved Marino Beach club, extremely clean, private to the hotel, great food at reasonable prices and a shuttle each hour running till 7 pm.

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. 🙂
