Just occasionally one stays somewhere that just is exceptional in every aspect. Buckingham Place is just that. From the moment we arrived to when we left there was just perfection in all we experienced. The food, room, service, the facilities and just the quality that oozes across this very special hotel. We were also lucky to meet the owner Nick... More

We decided to stay for 1 night at Nick's place because we just couldn't ignore the excelent reviews we read on TripAdvisor. We didn't regret it. It is a wonderful place with a great host in a relaxing atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. A must!

We stayed at Buckingham Place as part of our honeymoon trip. From when we first arrived it was an oasis of calm which was perfect for relaxing in amongst beautiful surroundings. I had read the great reviews beforehand and some friends who had stayed a few months before had raved about this place, so the bar was set high, but... More

After touring around Sri Lanka for 10 days, we were looking forward to 5 days in one place to unwind. Buckingham Place is the perfect place to relax Our accommodation was very spacious and had great views. Nick and his staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was perfect, which it most certainly was. The pool is... More

From all of us, thank you for telling the world via Trip Advisor that ours is your favourite place (or palace?) to stay. Your valued review is most welcome as it will doubtless inspire others to choose the hotel. It’s always highly pleasing to read that a former guest would choose the hotel again as invariably from the moment guests... More

I had looked at the reviews before we stayed at Buckingham Place, and wondered if it could really live up to the excellence of all the other reviews. I can only say that it did so, and much much more. It is an absolutely stunning hotel which we fell in love with. Nick and his staff couldn't have been more... More

From us all - thank you for your terrific and much valued review. We never take them for granted I assure you. After such a remarkable run of outstanding reviews, naturally I get anxious that we may not be able to live up to such praise. Former guests have been incredibly kind – theirs and now your support is overwhelming... More

Absolutely stunning place set by the sea and lagoon. We didn't leave the place for 2 days, apart from to walk to the beach. The rooms are spacious and airy. Probably the biggest hotel room I have stayed in! The staff are great and service perfect. The food - I don't know how they do it it is amazing just... More

Many thanks for your ‘beautiful’ Trip Advisor review – I greatly appreciate your kind praise for the hotel. That you hardly left the hotel for two days I must say was fairly typical of guests staying with us through April – maybe the unusually hot weather made us all a bit lazy but... maybe sometimes it’s nice to just sit...

On behalf of everyone here, thank you very much for the Fantastic review! In my view you add a great deal to the many valuable contributions preceding your own supportive review. You highlight, the hotel at just 30 months old, is already unexpectedly, starting to welcome back former guests. For us this tremendous endorsement is the best reward of all... More

Wonderful in every way. Everything about Buckingham Place makes for a wonderfully relaxing stay. The rooms are huge and comfortable, but not fussy. We had a Rekawa suite, one of two that looks directly out over the lagoon and is not on the way to other suites so is completely private. If you want to get away from it all... More

You mentioned just prior to departure that you’d submitted a review. Chatting beforehand, I sensed we’d got it about right for the duration and so, thought we could probably expect a favourable one. Imagine; switching on my laptop to check, I see not merely a favourable review but, an incredibly good one. I’m happily amazed and genuinely touched - thank... More
