We had a fantastic 2 wk holiday in Sri Lanka. We travelled around meeting some very friendly and helpful sri lankans, staying in really interesting and beautiful hotels....this was not one of these and completely spoilt the last night of our trip. The hotel is dated.The service was the worst we experienced -the staff were falsely charming in anticipation of... more

The Negombo coastline has a large number of o.k. hotels including just one of 5 star rating, which happens to be next door to the Blue Oceanic. However, the latter stands out from all others because of facilities and service as you would expect, combined with affordability. My first visit to the country dates from 1973 and many hotels have... more

Pretty average beash resort hotel. Good location for a one night stopover to/from airport (15minutes away) but quite overpriced for what you get in comparison to all other hotels i stayed in in Sri Lanka. Rooms fairly drab, staff moderately friendly. Main clientele seem to be older Germans and Russians. Food was quite nice and good choice. Rest take it... more

Me and my husband didn't stay at the Jetwing Blue Oceanic instead we stayed at the Jetwing BEach, which was a fantastic hotel and highly recommend it. HOwever, during our very short 4 day trip to Negombo we decided to eat at the Blue Oceanic hotel beach restaurant just by the pool and ordered what we thought would be a... more

Like lots of hotels in Sri Lanka, the rooms look very old and not well maintained. Otherwise, this hotel is all right if you need to go to the airport or if your flight arrives during the night; The hotel is situated in 15 minutes driving from the airport. Restaurants: average buffet Drinks: better to find some local bars in... more

After 12 days touring the country and seeing so many amazing things, it was nice to just kick back and relax on a comfy bed with 50 TV channels!! Decent sized balcony, with a view of the sea. Perfect to while away the afternoon reading a book. I was half board and the breakfast was excellent, buffet with fruit, breads... more

This is a super hotel, the staff really make your holiday a real pleasure. It was my second stay in the hotel, must say it was hard to say goodbye to a few of them. Clean, food plenty, tasty and very friendly people, good entertainment. For my birthday, they arranged a cake and I received a few presents from a... more

Apart from the rooms being a bit dated the hotel could not be faulted. The rooms are very spacious The staff were very polite and could not do enough to help us. A nice touch was every night a roomboy came to turn the bedsheet corner over, place a flower on each pillow and sprayed the room for mossies We... more

Nice Hotel, Staff was pleasant and receptive... The breakfast bar I enjoyed immensely. The rooms are clean and basic. There was only one issue with an electrical port with a TV that was iffy but help came and it worked fine, so thats nothing really. There are nice balcony areas where fresh ocean breezes can fill the room. Though as... more
