What a fantastic stay! Me and my husband stayed at the beach for the first week of our honeymoon, and enjoyed every minute! The hotel is of a high standard, with excellent service, the rooms are beautiful, and the bathroom which overlooks the ocean is quite amazing. The bedroom was decorated with flowers and chocolates every night, and the food in the restaurant was 5*. We only went on one trip which was the elephant orphanage(fantastic) - dont forget your mosquito spray that day! and incorporated Kandy and tea farm etc. One tip that we werent made aware of.. when you go on trip take lots of small change as everybody expects to be tipped and we were caught short and had to give out larger amounts!!
Overall brilliant stay, not much to do in Negombo, but we were there to relax anyway. 5* all the way!!

We were guests in this hotel in July 2007, my brother had flown in from Australia to surprise my mother and had booked a suite which was absolutely superb. The staff are so friendly and make you so welcome. Everything is clean and well presented. Food is excellent and service unsurpassable. Well worth a visit and would definitely book and stay here on return to sri lanka.

We stayed at The Beach for our first night in Sri Lanka, to rest from our flight before starting our tour of the country.

The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are large with a fantastic bathroom and view of the beach and sea. The only complaint for the room was the strength of the air conditioning which, no matter how we increased the temperature, we would still feel quite cold in there.

The beach looks very nice, but at the time we were there (late June) the sea was not very welcoming.

Food is good, and reasonable prices, and service is excellent - included a reception by the hotel's manager with a presentation on the island's natural diversity.

Negombo, as a place, is not very nice, but it is a great hotel to rest before or after touring the island.

Excellent, good reception, gave us some complementary drinks which went down well after a long trip. Very close to the airport, so good for an overnight stay before a tour.

The service was excellent and the rooms were a good size. We had an excellent view of the beach. The beach area and the pool area was also excellent.

The only let down was the food, there seemed to be plenty of choice but it wasn't clear what there was and what was available to us. Half the staff kept telling us there was a private function while the other half told us we could have to buffet. We just ate from the buffet anyway! Was alright.

Would definitely go back
