A 5-minute walk from the beautiful Negombo Beach, Gomez Place offers stylish air-conditioned rooms with a patio. This property has an outdoor swimming pool and provides free parking on site.

Owner and staff are brilliant - we arrived extremely early (530am) expecting to have to wait until it opened later in the morning only to find they opened up for us and already had the room waiting - after an 8 hr overnight journey that was most welcome. Helped with information and booking the various trips we went on as well as the taxi back to the airport. 10/10

This 5-star resort offers elegant, eco-friendly accommodations with private balconies and bathtubs.

The hotel is very peaceful and quiet. What we liked is that you have both the lagoon and sea side. Very relaxing environment. VERY long swimming pool (100m!) with shaded sitting areas around the pool. The food is delicious.

The 5-star Jetwing Beach Hotel is located along Ethukala Beach, about 1.9 mi from Negombo City. It offers beachfront accommodations with free Wi-Fi. A large outdoor pool and spa are available.

Housekeeping staff were excellent. Attentive and always keen to help with anything. Beach staff were also very helpful. Generally all staff were friendly and sincere. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. Location was good - beach life was interesting but not too busy. Loved the big pool.

Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions, a premiere Ayurvedic resort in Sri Lanka is located across from the buzzing Negombo shoreline.

First and foremost, the staff are exceptional - I arrived super late and was picked up at the airport (additional charge) and the driver was professional. Kalaka (may have spelled wrong) checked me in and made sure I understood the system for the Ayurveda appointments. The room was lovely and the surroundings relaxed. The pool is clean and a good size. All the staff smile and say hello - such a great feature of the Jetwing experience! Ayurveda treatments are just amazing!

Bordering the Negombo Lagoon, Amagi Lagoon Resort & Spa offers a peaceful getaway. It features an outdoor swimming pool, a restaurant and rooms with a flat-screen cable TV.

Location is 10-15 mts from Airport so ok as a transit stop. Go with low expectations.

    We spent our last day and night at Wallawwa. It was an overall luxury and perfect to unwind after our travels. They have complimentary tea time and a happy hour, the pool area is gorgeous, everyone was helpful and kind. I wished we stayed for another night, it was a peaceful bliss!

    The place is gorgeous, the dorm was clean and quiet I couldn't hear the traffic. I could have just walked out of the room and dive in the beautiful lagoon 20 meters away. Manju and his wife are the two lovely persons who run the place. They gave me a lot of informations about my upcoming trip and were keen to help me for everything I needed to get started in Sri Lanka ! Also pretty close from the airport, best spot to stay in Negombo ! Thank you

    We were really surprised by this place. It really is a little gem. We went from staying in a 5 star boutique hotel to staying here, so we could transit easily to the airport the next day, but we really enjoyed our stay. Lots of backpackers, very nice staff that couldn't be more helpful. We ate, had a few beers, played cards. Had great fun. Very clean. Good wifi. Good A/C. Kids loved it too!

    It is my second stay at Olinia and I will stay there again. The property is beautiful and stylish with a very nice design. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic. The room has good size and all necessary amenities. The bed was comfortable with clean bedlinen. I liked very much the pool! It is a great opportunity to relax before the flight. The location is convenient - very close to the airport.
