Really cute hotel
Pros:

Large room, pool, the decor was traditional Sri Lankan, polite staff, good location, clean

Cons:

Staff should tell guests where the mosquito net is when they check in. We arrived late and didn’t realise there was one, when we mentioned at check out they said it is in wardrobe.

Great place in Negumbo
Pros:

Suprisingly good, fantastic restaurant and pool area. Quiet area in the city, could easily have stayed a day longer.

Cons:

Negumbo beach is not as good as the other beaches we were at in Sri Lanka. The only place where we saw plastic trash at the beach.
