The flow of water in shower/taps was very low.. also when u r travelling.. an iron is at least essential in the room, which was missing. Though they claim to be eco-friendly & that's why give such items a miss... but in such case they should also be pocket friendly, however, they charge a premium for it.

Location is almost bang on the beach...just 100m from the beach. Breakfast was yum... fresh & delicious. The staff of 4-5 boys was excellent.. you just ask them & they'll do it for you.

Shower was a bit cold at times, but with the hot weather, it didn't matter.

No beach view but in lush, peaceful garden surrounds! Very clean, comfortable and large rooms. Very impressed with the eco-friendly strategies implemented, hope other accommodation follow suit! Found this place last minute so only got 2 nights there. Would have loved to stay for a week! Breakfast was also amazing with beautiful fresh fruit!

Palm Forest palolem is an excellent choice for a stay in Palolem. The staff, rooms, location are all first class. The breakfast choices that come complimentary with the room booking are excellent, the food is delicious. Great choice of activities on site including yoga and meditation. They have their own outdoor massage tent. Big shout out to Uday‘s massages. You have to get a head massage from Uday!

There were a few power cuts but they happened across the whole beach so not Palm Forests fault!

Absolutely loved our stay at Palm Forest. The staff were to friendly, the room was lovely and it was a close walk to the beach. It is also at the slightly quieter end of the beach so a bars and beach beds felt a bit more spread out.

sometimes the breakfast would take a bit long to be served after the yoga class ended. the internet was quite slow.

breakfast was excellent. we enjoyed the yoga classes and the guys at front desk were always super helpful. we got laundry done, they ordered tuk tuk when we needed one and arranged airport transfers for us even after midnight. The room was very comfortable and their soaps smelled amazingly

Beautiful resort surrounded by trees and nature. Nice and quiet and the rooms are clean with ambient lighting and natural soaps. Sustainable and plastic free which is a bonus. The breakfasts were also delicious, cooked with care and precision. Around a minute walk from the sea made it a perfect location to stay. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. Really recommend.

Bear in mind that you are staying in a jungle forest so we did have a snake (non venomous!), ants and cockroaches in our room at various points and there were birds nesting in the roof. Dogs also barked at nighttime. The staff did come to remove the snake for us and moved us rooms when it was taking longer to do so than expected.

The property is a 5 mins walk to the beach front in a little palm forest oasis. The rooms are spacious and clean and the breakfast was nice and healthy.

The location near the beach is good but the 4 minute walk to the beach isn't very nice. We were repeatedly woken up on 2 of our 3 nights stay, because of the fault air conditioning unit. Deposit and final payment had to be done via wise, after their card machine broke Probably wouldn't stay again

Overpriced, pretentious. Is trying to be a bouje retreat, but it's literally just a few huts in the middle of a bit of a dump. It was extremely expensive considering the facilities. Horrible smell in the room because the sink waste has no water trap, so all of the smells from the soil pipe come through the sink every time you flush. 2 "stray" dogs patrol the site and can be quite alarming if you are not a dog person. Thankfully, we were, but even still, there were a couple of moments where the dogs would startle you. Breakfast on site was also crap compared to local restaurants. Again, food is trying to be something it isn't.

The one thing I will say is that the massage was absolutely incredible. Not sure the man's name but it was literally the best massage both myself and my wife had ever experienced.

Palm Forest is an oasis within a shanty town. The problem from 4 years ago is still there. The locals burn their rubbish which creates a toxic smoke.

The breakfast was good.

Stayed in February 2024

The facilities were poor for the price. It was roughly double the price of comparable accommodation in the area. The shower wasn't working so we had to ask for this to be fixed which took almost an hour. Also, the walk to the beach could really have lights for walking at night.

The location was great and the staff were very helpful. The breakfast was amazing also.

I though for what we paid it was very expensive and didnt warrent the price at all and was expensive for the island compared to other places. The sheets were of poor quality, they were pilled and uncomfortable/ itchy to sleep on. The air condtioning didnt work in my son room they failed to fix for three night I would have expected some compensation but nothing was offered and we had to constantly remind them to try and fix it.When it was fixed it only last an hour or so then went off gain. We also had broken lights which we had to tell staff twice to replace the bulb. Also to get to the beach you walked through a passage and right next door to the accomodation you had to walk past a massive pile of Rubbish which they burned each day really take away form the Eco resort vibe.

It was a lovely setting. The Manager Dillip was great. The breakfast was nice. Yoga classes were good.Have a big bottle to refill your water was great.

No electricity, infrastructure is awful. Awful service. Feel bad for the staff working there. Staying at the beach would be more comfortable than staying at the hut.
