Negombo is one of those places that has lovely beaches, the beach were the Sentido Heritance was located was very clean and beautiful but there were parts to Negombo were the beach did have rubbish. Negombo itself has plenty to offer from the fish markets boat tours, mangrove tours and the city. Other amazing places in Sri Lanka - Kandy, Tricomalee, Jaffna and Islands, Galle.
Negombo is the perfect place to stay on your first or last day of your trip in Sri Lanka. It's really close to the airport, it has a nice beach, and there are a lot of good hotels. There's no tourist attraction around, but there's a few good restaurants also.
I hear from others Negombo was great area for the visitors also it is closer to CMB airport that was the reason I selected there. After I explore the area there are so many nice hotels are there to book and also heard down south area is becoming a good spot for the tourism than Negombo.
Perfect one/two nights on arrival take a tuktuk tour its worth it and last night before you leave. Negombo is 30 mins to the main SRI Lankan Airport, much close than Colombo. Also all hotels have UK plug sockets which is useful
Its one of my favourite places in Sri Lanka. The food places like Prego, Toro pub, Bamboo Kitchen with Shisha, Rodeo are some of the amazing places. The Browns Beach and the people are amazing and loving. Infact Poruthota road has a SPA CEYLON boutique you can use it for mssage rituals from Luxury Ayurveda. Beautiful coastal lines, fsh markets, churches etc. A must visit.
The staff was very attentive and obliging at all times. Food was excellent and there was a variety Our favourite place was the pool My grand son was thrilled with the play area which in close priximity to their room The open air theatre was exceptional - we really enjoyed the performances and also the welcome drink
Negombo
We loved this small and cosy family run apartment hotel, which is charming, well maintained and very comfortable. We had a beautiful shady balcony and there are comfortable sitting areas and a cute pool for cooling off. Bed with mosquito net was very comfortable. Drinking water dispenser in the room and full kitchen. An easy short walk to the beach. The hosts were extremely kind and helpful. They also do airport pick up and drop, and tourist trips, and have self-drive cars to rent. Perfect end to our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka

I stayed in Ever Green villa together with my friend and it was the first place where I have been in Sri Lanka. I think it was a good choice and the best place to recover after my long flight. This small family hotell was very clean and comfy in a quiet and green area. Hosts were super friendly and we felt like family members. Nimasha cooked us very delicious and rich local dinner and offered tea or coffee in the morning. I would like to stay here also the next time when I come to Negombo. ❤ Thank you for everything!
Negombo
We chose this place for our last night in Sri Lanka as it was not too far from the airport. The price was good and we were super happy with our choice. Dulshan and his family treated us just like in a 5 star hotel and catered to all our needs. The villa is a little oasis of tranquility in chaotic Negombo! Very nice spacious room with AC/ fan and mini fridge. Extremely clean and beautifully decorated. A modern clean and lovely home. The breakfast was copious and delicious! We enjoyed our stay very much!
We stopped here for 1 night prior to flying home. What a little gem. Short walk to the beach, bars and restaurants. Hotel is clean, the rooms are trendy, tasteful and comfortable. There is a little pool with a few sun beds. We only experienced dinner, which was very nice and did not disappoint as my final Sri Lankan curry and rice. The roof top terrace is lovely in the evening and the staff were all great. Bonus is free airport transfers. Lives up to everything you expect from a Boutique Hotel.
I thoroughly enjoyed Negombo Nature Villa & Cabanas. It was a perfect place to stay after arriving at 2am from an international flight. It's 25 minutes from the main airport. We were greeted by a lovely lady who helped us settle in, It's family run and is perfect for a night or two to rest. It's a close walk to Negombo Beach (5 minutes) and the hotel also has a small pool to enjoy. I highly recommend - great location, great value, great people!

My stay at Sleepy Heaven Negombo was wonderful! The breakfast was fresh and delicious, and the entire property was spotlessly clean. The staff, especially Sachin, were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a homely and safe environment. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. This is truly the best place to stay in Negombo, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience!
Jetwing was right on the beach. We decided to stay in Negombo rather than Colombo. A gentle start to our holiday. Well thought out room and amenities. We loved the coffee facilities in the room. Great views. It's worth a walk along the beach to see the fishing and the locals. I wish I'd brought some pens and paper for the children. Lots of cricket games happening in the local village I felt very privileged to see how Sri Lankan families live.
Negombo
Amazing stay, amazing people, amazing location! The hosts were so accommodating & brought me tea while I checked in, gave me a history of the area and some local recommendations. The room I stayed in was clean, bright & had an amazing view of the beach across the way. I highly recommend the Marine Tourist Guest House for anyone that wants a clean, safe, central experience in Negombo!
Negombo
The apartment was spotless, stylish, and exactly as shown in the photos. Everything looked just like the listing—no surprises! The rooftop pool and bar were incredible, and the location was perfect—just minutes from the beach. The host was friendly and arranged transport, which made my trip so much easier. Highly recommended for a comfortable and relaxing stay in Negombo!
We stayed at the hotel prior to a return flight to the UK. It was the sixth hotel we'd used in our trip to Sri Lanka and by far the best. we had a lovely, large, double-aspect room where all the facilities worked and were easy to work out. (We had discovered that convoluted and incomprehensible light switching is a feature of hotels in Sri Lanka but not this one.)
Lovely Hotel. Good spot to start or to end the Sri Lanka trip. Very helpful stuff. Good restaurants close by. 5min walk to the beach. 30min walk to Negombo City, 10min by TukTuk. AC, Shower, Fridge etc. works well. Big rooms, good beds. Pool is clean. Airport pickup available (30min). First two nights felt bit overpriced but still good. Mosquito repellent helpful.
It is a great hotel. We asked early check-in. And altough they could give it from 11:30, but as we arrived with 2 kids, they managed to get it 30 min earlier. The breakfast was amazing. Ever room has see view. The pools are reall nice, you can walk easily to the beach too. The staff was extremy helpful. This was a perfect start of our Sri Lanka trip.
Negombo
The staff made this stay so so wonderful! The best experience in Sri Lanka- Thushal went out of his way to ensure I had late checkout and was comfortable. This hotel was the end of our holiday and I regret not spending more time here! Food is phenomenal. The rooms are clean with beautiful views of the beach and the most spectacular sunsets
Negombo
Club Hotel Dolphin gave us the best get away we have ever had. The hotel is even better than the pictures, it’s open plan style that leads onto the beach is stunning. The staff were amazing, from kitchen to bar to animation team. I couldn’t fault anyone. Food and drink also excellent. The best Sri Lankan omelettes for breakfast!
Negombo
This was one of best hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka. Great room, clean and furnished, great pool, very good breakfast (many options) and staff. Also private driver that can pick you up and drop you at the airport free of charge is very convenient. I very much recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in Negombo.
Negombo
This small homestay/hotel is ideally situated for the attractions of Negombo Beach. It is clean, comfortable, excellent value for money and has a really helpful host always willing to help and advise. This was my second stay and I would be very happy to stay there again if I return to Sri Lanka
Negombo
