We had a beautiful stay at the Sentido Heritance Hotel in Negombo. We enjoyed very much the gardens and the swimmingpool with sea view. The rooms are very comfortable with balcony and fantastic sea view as well. The buffet breakfast offered a abundant variation of Sri Lankan and western food and the extra fee for it is really worth going there ~ even if you are a guest from the outside. Espacially Miss Sithmi is very friendly and helpful. Very recomandable.

Quick stopover before we headed northeast to Kandalama. I have stayed here a few time and have always loved this property. Friendly staff including management. The best part of my stay was breakfast. Oh the hoppers are so yummy. Thanks to exe chef Hasheera and his awesome crew, especially chef Sumedha who is responsible for making hoppers.

We stayed one night at Heritance Ahungalla and booked 4 rooms. Overall, it was a really good stay. The hotel has a beautiful design, direct beach access, and a very nice view. The pool area is great, and we really enjoyed relaxing there. We also tried some cocktails at the pool bar — they were very good. Customer service was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. Food was a mix. Some dishes were good, but the room service fish and chips and baguette sandwich were disappointing. Honestly, it was the worst fish and chips I’ve tried. They didn’t even provide lemon, which would have made it better. Apart from the food issue, everything else was really nice. Great atmosphere, good service, nice pool, and beautiful beach access.
