    The consistent satisfied reviews say it all, but I will share too! Perfect for our last days in Sri Lanka! Dickman Resort is an absolute standout in Sri Lanka, offering a level of service and style that has unique sophistication. Service was Impeccable! Every staff member was warm, witty, and professional, making us feel like VIP guests rather than just visitors. It’s rare to find a team so well-trained in the finer details of hospitality. The gated buzzer entry ensures exclusivity. Location easy walk to restaurants,beach. Spa massages a MUST !! Breakfast - delicious and plentiful! The biggest luxury! No kids! As an adults-only resort, the atmosphere remains peaceful, intimate, and indulgent. The rooms are spacious, each with its own character. We stayed in the Red Room, which oozed romance while still carrying a masculine edge. This place delivers exactly what it promises: stylish, modern oasis, bold, chic aesthetics, impeccable attention to detail, and a truly boutique experience from the moment we arrived .

    The furnishing of the individual rooms was simply fantastic. The feeling for the colors and the small details is like art. The staff, like the owner, are lovely and super friendly and accommodating. Everything is prepared with a lot of love and the included breakfast is the best I have ever had, sumptuous, fresh and again the small details like the butter and the jam on the table or how the fruit is cut. You simply have to see this hotel

    5 star service without the price and very very friendly. Close proximity to the centre of Negombo. Excellent breakfast with relaxed eating times, no need to set an alarm!

    This place is great. Lovely pool, plenty of subdbeds, great food, the Mango Suite was fab but the best part was the staff. So friendly but really helpful and efficient. Service was quick and the food was good. This is such a relaxing place but really close to all the bars, restaurants and beach life. Just perfect

    Wonderful guesthouse in pleasant Negombo. Conversely located 5 mins from the Main Street and the beach. Tons of restaurants and bars to choose from there. 20 mins by car from the airport. 1 hour to Colombo. A perfect little oasis to rest, unwind and ease into your holiday. Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Big pool. Lovely cafe/bar. Great value for money. Felt safe and well taken care of. Staff is stellar! Professional, pleasant, helpful! Loved them all, and plan to return.

    Certainly the best resort to book in Negombo Beach. Close to the airport with an excellent location, walking distance from all you need. Large well designed rooms and a staff that will provide you with the best care. It was my first resort upon arrival in Sri Lanka. There wasn't a hotel or resort topping this one during my three weeks that followed while traveling around. I can't wait to come back next year again.

    The mosquitoes were biting in the day and evening so be prepared.

    Enjoyed a two night stay with a spacious room and huge balcony overlooking the pool. Lovely breakfast provided and they have a good bar too. Garden is really nice and big pool which is also deep. Short walk to the sea which was quite dirty in places. Staff were all really friendly and very helpful.
