A beautiful place with a view of the lagoon ❤️✨
Pros:

Hello! I am Alexandria. I came to this hotel on March 5th, the last day of our trip, to stay at this hotel. In the morning, I left the key in my room and came out, so the room was locked. I went to the reception to open it, explained my problem and when I went back to the room, I tripped and fell and hurt my head. At that time, there was a person at the reception, he was very busy, but he came and picked me up and brought me to my room.. He put medicine on my head and helped me very kindly.. I asked his name, he said his name is Nihan!. I thank him very much for his good service🥰. Also, the food in this hotel is very delicious 🤤. Also, the loud music until 2:00 AM made it a big problem to sleep. But it was a hotel that provided good service. I love this place ❤️✨

A good place to relax away from noise and amenities.
Pros:

Pool and pool bar were fabulous. Staff were friendly. Our room was amazing, spacious and comfortable.

Cons:

The hotel was a long way from the town and shops, thou this was our fault due to lack of research. Breakfast was ok but not amazing.

Pros:

La piscine est très agréable et très grande. Il y a une salle de gym et un spa qui sont effectivement très bien.

Cons:

Le seul problème reste la localisation de cette hôtel qui est très excentré et donc il n'y a pas grand chose autour. Vous êtes obligé de manger au restaurant sur place matin midi et soir sauf à être obligé de faire un quart d'heure de voiture.

Lovely place but the organisation and food offering was a little amateurish.
Pros:

The room was lovely, bed very comfortable and small terrace equipped with 2 chairs and table was nice. Well maintained grounds and property.
Reception staff were fabulous and the welcome was great.

Cons:

After a fraught journey we went straight to the restaurant for an early lunch and coffee. The service was not good and the food really disappointing. It felt very disorganised. We could not charge our food to the room and waited 20 minutes to pay. The waiter came to our room for the cash payment, charged us the wrong amount then came back for the balance. Left me feeling distrusted and this felt quite disorganised and unprofessional.
The fridge/mini-bar in the room was locked and we had to wait a few hours for a staff member to unlock it.
The offering of coffee in the room was sparse and we had to request more.

Amazing Service and Hospitality
Pros:

We conducted a 3 week tour of Sri Lanka and were fortunate enough to stay at the Arie Lagoon, Negombo, for 2 nights. We wanted to say a big thank you to all of the staff who couldn’t have done any more to make us feel so welcome. The cleanliness of the rooms, the quality of the food and the attentiveness of all of the staff we encountered were all first class. The variety of both the Western and Sri Lankan cuisines on offer, were of the highest quality and would more than satisfy the most discerning of customers. Thank you for making our visit so special and we wish you every success for the future.

Good base from which to commence or finish exploring.
Pros:

Spaciously laid out in well kept gardens. Quite an oasis from the bustle of Negombo and about thirty to forty minutes from Colombo airport.
Bar food and buffet food both fine - good choice and quality yet not ‘stand out’. We found the wine to be pricey and not very palatable.
Rooms were comfortable, relatively spacious and clean.
Would return.

Quiet Setting
Pros:

Only stayed one night on our Riviera Tour as it's not far from the airport, but lovely huge rooms or rather 'bungalows' in a quiet setting but if you walk down to the pool you have beautiful views over the lagoon.

1st Stop in Sri Lanka and a bit disappointed.
Pros:

Pleasant welcoming on arrival.
Lovely well kept gardens.
Room was clean but a little tired.
Bathroom and shower were in an outside secluded area which was quite a novelty.
Quality of the food was disappointing.
Lovely pool however some of the decking around it required maintenance as there were unsafe loose boards.
Large amount of crows regularly visit the swimming pool for bathing.
The beach across the road from the hotel was not nice at all, littered with rubbish and not safe to take a dip.

Good place to stay for a couple of nights.
Pros:

Lovely pool with views over the lagoon but the decking let in down as needed replacing. Lovely spacious rooms and restaurant good.and they cooked fresh as well as buffet style. Safe battery was low and wasn’t replaced when asked. Staff generally very helpful.

A Lovely and Memorable Stay
Pros:

I stayed at Arie Lagoon with my school batch mates for a stay over, and it turned out to be a truly memorable experience. Surrounded by calm waters and peaceful nature, the place has a special kind of warmth that makes you slow down and really enjoy the moment.

The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the gentle lagoon views created a sense of calm throughout our stay. What stood out most was how welcoming and kind the staff were, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Even as a group, everything felt well-organized and relaxed.

Arie Lagoon is not only perfect for group gatherings but also a beautiful choice for families, couples, or anyone simply looking for a quiet escape. It’s the kind of place where laughter, conversations, and memories naturally come together. I’ll always cherish the time we spent there.

Beautiful hotel, comfy rooms, food is a bit hit and miss.
Pros:

We stayed here for one night, for the proximity to the airport. On first appearance it looks fabulous. The grounds are well tended and everything is neat. We arrived after a busy day on safari and needed a shower. There was no power in our bathroom. After telling reception, and being asked if we had put the key in the electric slot, a technician came and thumped around the slot until the lights worked. The room itself was lovely, spacious, bed comfy and shower was good. The food was a problem for me as it was all too spicy. My Husband loves hot food, but he wasn't overly impressed either. Breakfast wasn't very good. Cold baked beans, half warmed hot dog sausages. The man cooking fried totally ignored us. I managed to get an omelette, but that chef didn't speak either. My husband thought he'd have a croissant from the sweet shelf, and was very surprised when it contained a sausage!
