Great place to start and end your Sri lankan holiday. Big clean rooms, tastefully decorated, always helpful and smiling staff. One even paid for my tuk tuk when I didn't have change. Amazing breakfast, try the muesli. It's right on the beach too. Overall, the best place we stayed in SL. Hope to be back on our next visit. More

This is a very friendly and pretty hotel not far from the airport in Negombo. Set on the beach, you can sit in a beautiful garden and listen to the waves.

We stayed in room one with our two year old and five year old which had a lovely veranda with little lawn in front and view through the wrought iron wall to the beach and sea. The room was fine although not a... More

This place is an island in Negombo. The garden is beautiful, and the owner seems to have paid attention to equipping the rooms with little useful things. At the same time, the room I stayed in was small, and the bed was short, it was not comfortable to sleep in it. The room was clean though. I have arrived at... More

Ayuveda massage on the premises and all kinds of help arranging for drivers and tours. The drawback is its popularity and only 6 rooms. I was ever so lucky to snag two nights. Be sure to... More
