Negombo Hotels with Pools

The hotel is great, facing the lake to the east and the sea to the west. There is only a small road across it, so you can walk to the beach. The waiters in the hotel are relatively friendly. The number of rooms is limited and there are not too many tourists staying, so the waiters can take care of them. Very quiet and comfortable, a good choice for a quiet vacation.

The place was amazing, such a shame that when we wete there they had a massive renovation by the beach. We could not enjoy the seaside. It was a little bit disappointing.

The pool is nice, the beach is nice and wide, and there are fishermen and boats with Sri Lankan characteristics in the morning in the distance. The hotel's prevention of mosquitoes was too bad. The children were bitten by more than 20 packets a night. Overall cost performance

I stayed in this hotel for a week. It’s only been open for 5 months and at first appearance it looks good, but taking a closer look it’s still being built and repaired. There are still cables jutting out of the wall and ceiling. Although the kitchen is featured in the photos of the room, it has no tap, the cupboards are sealed. I raised some of my concerns when I arrived with the general manager when he asked me questions about my stay and he seemed blasé about addressing it. Based on what was paid, this hotel is overpriced. There are still cement stairways and drilling taking place during the day. The WiFi is awful, they finally installed a router in my room which took the week to do and it only worked on the day of my departure. The best part of the hotel is some staff members who will go out of their way to help, special mention to Jazz. They have a great pool on the roof. Until it’s fully built I wouldn’t recommend staying here!

The sanitation is OK, the quilt has a little smell, the bathroom should be renovated, it's OK, but not big. The wardrobe is relatively simple, the safe in each room is different, and some are not fixed to the wall. The room rate is high because it is close to the airport (4km), and you may not be able to get a taxi at night. The Uber driver will cancel the order and raise the price on the spot. Some hotel reservations include free airport pick-up/drop-off, which is good, and the car is relatively new. There is a third-party business car that can be rented with the driver, and the round-trip price is OK. The service is very good, 90% of the employees are very enthusiastic. The communication with the duty manager is also relatively smooth. There is a souvenir shop downstairs where you can buy recharge cards. The seafood noodles in the Chinese restaurant are not bad. It would be better if the sanitation could be better. The front desk is slow, but the overall service quality is good.

The overall environment of the hotel is not bad, the rooms are a bit like home, the facilities are a bit old, the scenery near the sea is still good, the cleanliness of the bedding in the room needs to be improved.

The flight was too late, so I booked a hotel on a whim to let the kids rest. In terms of hardware, it's a bit old and the room is small, but it's very thoughtful and they prepared bath balls. In terms of service, it's super good. Every staff member greeted us with a smile and was very enthusiastic. The view is super good and the food is also good. It's very suitable as a rest stop before landing at the airport or leaving.

Hotel close to airport make it very convenient, however you need to use express lane to Colombo as it is slightly out of the city . You don’t have much choice for food as only two dining restaurant available but it offer a 24 hours room service make it a plus point . Complementary shuttle service for airport pick up is a bonus .

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.
