Strandhotels in Negombo

"Het hotel ligt in Negombo, op ongeveer tien minuten rijden van de luchthaven van Colombo. De kamer is vrij groot en de airconditioning is koud genoeg. Het balkon van de kamer op de eerste verdieping loopt direct uit op het strand, waardoor het een geschikte plek is voor een ontspannen vakantie."

"Cuando llegamos el hotel había tenido un problema en la habitación. No obstante, nos movieron gratuitamente a un hotel que estaba cerca que era del mismo dueño, y estuvo todo perfecto."

"Amazing beachfront hotel, very very good service. Rooms looks better than on photos! Extremely good price/quality offer! We stayed during New Year's Eve and Gala dinner was mind blowing - so much choice, delicacies of all sort, tasty and desers are from heaven as well. Ochen ochen xorosho. We could see all Negombo fireworks. Hotel team also provided us with the early breakfast package because we left early morning on January 1st! They really did go above and beyond to help us feel truly valuable guests! We will return! Thank you Earl's Regent Team!"

"Het hotel ligt wat ver van de vismarkt, maar het ligt wel dicht bij het strand en heeft een eigen zwembad. Het uitzicht vanuit de kamers aan zee is mooi, hoewel het water de laatste tijd niet erg helder was. De kamer was over het algemeen niet naar wens. Omdat het dicht bij de zee ligt, voelde het vochtig en klam aan. Er was geen dekbed, alleen een dekbedovertrek. De airconditioning was oud en lawaaierig, waardoor slapen bijna onmogelijk was. Er was geen gratis fles water op de kamer; je moest een fles kopen bij de receptie voor 320 roepie. De service in Lanka was echter vrij goed en de lokale bevolking leek erg gastvrij. Daarom wordt dit hotel vaak bezocht door witte Europese en Amerikaanse gasten."

"This was my third stay at the Goldi Sands, honestly, the last time was nearly 20 years ago but I had such a great time back then I had high expectations. In the intervening 20 years, the hotel has had a revamp, double the size, double the number of swimming pools, added an elevator and they've removed the beach-fronted bungalows. All of which I think was a smart move and well worth doing. What has changed is the service and the catering. The staff are of course all very polite just that they didn't go the extra mile like they used to. We arrived late as our flight had been delayed, all I wanted was a couple of bottles of beer, they did arrive but I almost had to beg. I booked a taxi to the airport with the front desk, but they forgot, the waitresses at dinner were all about the hard upsell rather than serving. The breakfast as far as my memory serves me used to be awesome, today's breakfast is the same every day and lacks imagination, is poorly presented, and includes the worst coffee ever. The hotel has a confusing number of tariffs from all-inclusive to room only which means if you want to buy a drink it takes forever as they have to check your ”status” and then if you pay cash they have to go to the cashier as they carry no float. The rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable but basic. All in all it is still a good hotel to choose but sadly it is no longer in the memorable category."

"The settings and pool are fabulous. The accommodations look amazing. However mine was damp smelly and I felt stuffy and had headaches every day. Windows at night couldn’t be open due to monkeys etc The owners guna was a lovely man…he really was but he failed to solve anything ref the room. Felt he wasn’t concerned at all. Building work started 8am- gone 6pm which was not at all relaxing by pool or morning coffee. I failed to do my yoga as noise was too much. I have to say with the smell damp and noise I did not enjoy my stay at all. Although food staff & settings were lovely"

"The room it's neat and clean and its looking too much nice and I feel too much comfortable washroom it's also clean and ready for you and the staff also they are good"

"とても身体が整います。ホテルですが、身体と心をキレイに洗い流す場所です。朝6時に起きてヨガ、毎日2時間半のアーユルヴェーダのトリートメントを専門医の処方の上で決められます。夜は瞑想。セラピスト達も優秀です。私は色んな国でマッサージを受けていてセラピストとの相性を感じる方で、一度相性の悪い方に当たってしまいましたが、専門医に相談してチェンジもして貰えました。スタッフは私達が快適でいるかどうか、とても気にしてくれています。5泊6日だったので、アーユルヴェーダの体験ができた程度ですが、治療として行くなら2週間は必要です。1ヶ月ステイすれば、身体の細胞が全体的に入れ替わると思います。 もし私が慢性的な病気や癌に罹ったら、ここで数ヶ月ステイして本格的に治療したいです。慢性疾患や癌にならないために、定期的にここに行ってデトックスする方が良い気もします。 食事はドーシャべ別に出される治療食です。正直に言うと滞在するが欧米人が食事に文句を言っていましたが、治療食なんです。ドーシャに合わせて、体に合わない物を排除して、スパイスだけで味をつけて、ほとんど塩や砂糖は使われていません。それなのにあの見た目と味は評価するのに値します。5泊6日3食で一度も同じメニューは出ませんでした。フルーツの盛り合わせさえ、見た目を変えて工夫されています。お酒もコーヒー飲まないので、リゾートを満喫したい人には不向きですが、身体と心をリセットしたい人には最高の場所でしょう。"

"Our stay at Sand and Sea was a perfect start to our Sri Lanka trip. The room was clean and had everything we needed including much needed AC. The family were so kind and helped us with sorting travel out for the next part of our trip. Location is great as close to Main Street but far away enough that it was quiet. The garden is beautiful; so well kept with beautiful flowers. Don’t hesitate to stay here; it was fab! Thank you!"
