Have in the last couple of days returned from holiday to Browns Beach hotel in Negombo, Sri Lanka, and let me say from the outset that although the hotel is in deep need of a makeover, the food and cleanliness of the hotel was never an issue and the staff from Rashad on reception,, Desanta and Kane in the restuarant,... more

What a delightful surprise! Having read all sorts of reviews. both good and bad about Brown's Beach before we came, and having stayed there a zillion years ago, we were unsure as to how it would be.

We went to Brown's Beach for two weeks and had a fantastic time. As a fair few reviews say - get a beach room. It's certainly worth the extra cash as they are modern, clean and spacious. The air conditioning was super-powerful, the bed comfy, the view to the beach exceptional and the private sunloungers a nice touch. The mini-bar... more
