Pros:

C est beau, c est raffiné, une deco très bohème , 2 piscines à taille humaine , le restaurant est bon , le personnel est adorable, c' est propre, c est géré dans la gentillesse et le professionnalisme, ça fait 3 séjours que je passe chez eux en 3 mois , et je n ai pas trouvé de meilleurs adresses a Negombo. Un véritable cocoon pour arriver ou pour partir ...

Cons:

C est un peu plus loin de l aéroport mais ça vaut le coup car le quartier est résidentiel et très calme et propre de la plage

My dream hotel. Excellent food, ambience and the greatest staff.
Pros:

Having travelled to many countries, this hotel was for me my favorite. I loved the layout, the staff, all the quite corners, all the opportunities to interact with other guests "everything stops for tea" at 4pm. With no main resturant, you could eat at any of the many tables around the property so you got different dining views, canal, lagoon, garden, pool, or a little more formal on the veranda outside the lobby. I've never experience staff as good as this before, Chamidu was fantastic and went above and beyond to help us with every request, as were all the staff. The food we experienced here was some of the best and a big thank you to all the staff who always met us with smiles and looked after us. Fans of motorcross are in for a treat here as the owner is a three times World champion. For the arts and crafts aficionados there is a fantastic oppoutunity on site in the "Thimbles" workshop, do support their work or try it out for yourself. There are two swimming pools and there are times when it feels like you are living in your own private villa and I think that comes from the overall ambience of the hotel. If you want to relax, read books, do some art, enjoy good food, lounge at the pool, enjoy a massage, make some friends over tea, then this is the place. We came for one night and stayed nearly two weeks and I would love to return anytime. My favorite out of dozens and dozens of hotels.

Cons:

There is nothing to fault.

Wonderful, charming place - perfect for relaxation
Pros:

Very charming place with a little lagoon running through the property where you could take a canoe or boat (and see lizards swimming), and 2 clean pools. Felt like being in the middle of nature. Very kind and welcoming staff. The place had a lot of character with artifacts from all over the world. We were lucky to be upgraded to a very spacious and beautiful room with not 1 but 2 bathrooms :) They also arranged afternoon tea, which was a nice addition. The food was delicious - we had all of our meals there.

Cons:

There could have been more sunbeds by the pool by the lagoon.

A pleasant place to stay near to the airport
Pros:

Nice setting near a lagoon
Quite a nice room with a balcony

Cons:

The room was supposedly a super deluxe but there was, I think, an issue perhaps with the drains as we had to leave the bathroom door open otherwise there was a quite unpleasant smell. It didn't detract from our stay and we didn't raise it as we were only staying 2 nights

A hidden gem. Family run and very homely atmosphere. Near airport and great value.
Pros:

Mr. Chamidu, the manager, showed us around the property. He did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable under difficult conditions, being stranded due to the Middle East crisis. We were given a beautiful room at no extra cost. We were very well cared for. The lady owner runs a fabulous craft workshop to offer young women from the village, livelihood opportunities.

Pros:

This is a serene haven a short tuk-tuk ride from Negombo centre. The details in the whole premises are so well thought out. Lots of nice places to hang out, two lovely pools, a beautiful garden and all integrated with the lagoon. The staff deserves a review by themselves. They are so friendly and helpful and they think of every detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible. A great first impression of Sri Lanka. Thank you!

Cons:

Pros:

Such a beautiful setting to relax on my final night before flying home. I wish I had known about this place when I had arrived in SL and spared myself the hustle and bustle of the south coast.

I had a lucky upgrade to a beautiful room and I loved the soft furnishings from the local thimble project.

Shout out to Chamidu who was very helpful.

Cons:

Not enough sun loungers at the main pool.
