Pros:

The location
The view
Reception staff were friendly and welcoming

Cons:

Hoppers were not available for breakfast - however there was still a good choice

Bar service on terrace could have been a bit more efficient
As a solo traveller it felt like a long walk from main area to my room along a corridor especially in evening when lights only came on as you pass through each section

Grand Goldi Sands Stay
Pros:

Great location on the beachfront with great view from our suite, during breakfast and while in the pool. Also, breakfast was delicious with a large range of options. Our suite was spacious, clean and had all the amenities we needed. The super king sized bed was the best. A great location with great views and close to eating and shops. To top it all off, the staff were friendly and very gracious. Finally, the three striped palm squirrels were fun to watch while on the sun bed.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn’t like but maybe something to hang your wet clothes on as we hung our wet togs on the outdoor furniture. Everything was great.

Confortável e com funcionários muito atenciosos.
Pros:

O Goldi Sands era o primeiro hotel da tour pelo Sri Lanka em que ia participar e, por isso, reservei uma noite anterior ao início da tour. Foi uma opção muito prática, também pela proximidade do aeroporto. O hotel tem uma excelente localização mesmo junto à praia e gostei muito da vista para o mar. O quarto era espaçoso, limpo, confortável e agradável. Os funcionários foram sempre muito simpáticos e atenciosos. Antes da estadia, comuniquei várias vezes com o hotel e recebi sempre respostas simpáticas e disponíveis, incluindo quando avisei que ia chegar de madrugada devido a alterações nos voos... e quando pedi para ficar no mesmo quarto nas duas noites, pedido que conseguiram satisfazer. O pequeno-almoço era muito bom. O hotel tem duas piscinas, fornece toalhas e tem cadeiras de praia à disposição.

Cons:

Devido a uma alteração nos voos, tive de cancelar o transfer que tinha reservado através do Booking. Como ia chegar de madrugada, acabei por pedir ao hotel que organizasse o transfer do aeroporto. O serviço custou 40 dólares, um valor que me pareceu um pouco elevado, embora possa ter sido influenciado pelo horário da chegada. O motorista foi extremamente simpático. O ar-condicionado do quarto fazia também algum barulho.

Top für Ankunfts- oder Abreisetag
Pros:

Lage relativ nah zum internationalen Flughafen und direkt am Strand, aber saisonbedingt konnte man nicht im Meer baden. Dafür war die Pools schön zum Baden - und zum Entspannen vor dem abendlichen Abflug zurück nach Europa ideal.

Pros:

Hotel molto confortevole sulla spiaggia sabbiosa e profonda di Negombo. Lettini sulla spiaggia e due piscine. Vicino all'aeroporto internazionale e ottimo per una sosta prima o dopo il volo.
