Great
BBenpaodeyalianThe work of architect Bawa is superb; the architecture, landscaping, and interior design are all of masterful quality, possessing a rich subtropical aesthetic. The 100-meter swimming pool and spa are also excellent, reasonably priced, and offer the beauty of Aman Resorts at a very reasonable price. Those travelers who complain about the dated furniture truly have questionable taste. The hotel faces the lagoon to the east and the Indian Ocean to the west, offering unparalleled views of the sunrise and sunset. Although there aren't many attractions nearby, the hotel itself is enough to while away a day. A car service to the airport reception is available half an hour in advance for $26 per car. However, be careful to avoid rooms near the generator room, as the generator is quite loud during power outages; the hotel reassigned me to a different room.
GGuest UserIt suited its purpose to be close to the airport, but otherwise there is not much to do in the area neither in the hotel. I would not stay longer than necessary. The hotels facilities are basic, rooms a bit outdated, though gym is quite good. Pool is nice and breakfast tasty and good variety
УУльяна М.A good hotel when after the flight you want to breathe and not start from the place to the career, in the sense of the island) got into the season, the guests were a little, so on a small parking lot the rented tuck-tuck went without problems. The friendly staff with a great drink and switches for the charter, the number almost)) with a view. There is an exit to the sea, although I'm not sure that it is comfortable to swim there but the sunsets are chic ;) The pool was very good by the way. Bear in mind that there is no infrastructure nearby, not wanting to have dinner in the hotel, went to search and searched for enough time. Perhaps it was necessary not to wander around the neighborhood, but to give the local cook a chance, as breakfast was quite simple but delicious
GGuest UserJetwing Beach is lovely hotel.
Right on the beach, good spacious rooms, with everything you need, very clean and good AC.
Rooms over look the pool and beach which is nice to wake up to every morning.
The staff are a credit to the hotel with fantastic service from house keeping to reception to pool attendants. Could not fault it. Food and Drinks are excellent too, try the Terrace Bar for cocktails you won’t be disappointed.
Food is good value at the Beach / Pool Bar too
Would definitely recommend this hotel if your coming to Negombo
TToubirendaI got off the plane late, because I had to go to the fish market in Niganbu early, and I specially set this place. As the first night of landing in Sri Lanka, the hotel was very good. The door is open sideways, not very obvious. The reception was very warm and I kindly exchanged travel advice when I checked out. The facilities are not complete, there are no dental appliances, the wooden door needs to be locked with a key, but it is very clean, and the bed table bathroom in the whole room is spotless. Bring a small restaurant with a bright window, go out to the fish market seven or eight hundred meters, close to St. Mary's Church. More cost-effective
MMishel91Check in fast but when we got to the room it was not what we booked. So we had to wait till the preped the actual room we booked. However, they gave us free cocktails while we waited so it was good for the room mishap. When we got the actual room we booked it was great. The bathtub was the best we had in Sri Lanka. Only down fall the dinner buffet was very bad given the hotel Jetwing brand and breakfast buffet was so so. Hotel is by the beach and close to the airport.
MMatthew JamesThis 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.
GGuest UserThe hotel is in a great beachfront location with a decent size pool and plenty of restaurants to explore by foot. I ate dinner in-house once which was good and arrived quickly. The room I had booked was fan-only and fine for me. Breakfast was great and staff went out of their way to fulfill my expectations. I received a kettle as I stayed 8 nights and wanted to drink tea on my balcony. The most notable aspect really is the friendliness of the entire team. Everyone is really genuinely pleasant and made me feel at home.
LLasindu NuwangaI booked this one for my parents.
Initially the hotel had made a mistake. My parents were one hour late to check in. Still there was a person in their room. The hotel had given my parents a different room for one hour. As a compensation for the trouble, they gave a suite for the last night of my parents’ staying.
In Trip.com, this hotel is a 4 star hotel. But the staff say it is a 3 star hotel. Service, cleanliness and amenities match a 3 star hotel as well but not the price.
SSky MalaysiaHotel 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 .
