Für kurze Aufenthalte
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und der Pool sehr angenehm. Die schönen Restaurants für abends sind fußläufig erreichbar.

Cons:

Der Strand dort ist sehr schmutzig. Am Pool gibt es keine Sonnenschirme. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig und teils ist es sehr laut. Die Duschkabine war unpassend montiert sodass die Dusche nicht verschlossen werden konnte - dadurch wurde das Bad beim duschen sehr nass.

Great Beachfront hotel away from the road
Pros:

Cannot fault this hotel , however ...much of our enthusiasm is linked to the wonderful beach front villa that we booked. What a treasure. It is a huge room with colonial furniture. Very comfortable king size bed with great mattress. It had its own wi fi router so the signal was strong. It has a view of the ocean. Close to the pool and the air con was good. Pool was clean, breakfast was good, gardens lovely, staff smiling and polite.
They arranged fair priced onward travel.

Cons:

Liked everything. Sure all the rooms are ok.

Very nice hotel.
Pros:

it was a very nice hotel. Location was good. Beach-front. the staff were friendly and co-operative. Rooms were spacious enough, clean and bed was comfortable. Bathroom had running hot water. Breakfast was good. There swimming pool was also great. Value for money hotel. We had nothing to complain about. If we ever re-visit Negombo, we will definitely stay in this hotel again.

Good place to stay with reasonable prices
Pros:

Spent my last night in Sri Lanka at this guesthouse. Beachfront location, nice pool, close to restaurants and grocery stores. Older property but seemed well maintained. Rooms clean and had a mini fridge.
