Quite tourist area

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

I can't really comment on Negombo as we arrived in the middle of the night and left for a trip north almost as soon as we woke up. It was quite a busy place on the outskirts of Colombo, but the hotel's situation on the edge of the lagoon was lovely

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

We went on a boat trip in the local canal and river, which was lovely. Jetwing organised it which also meant it was completely hassle free and there was not even an opportunity for tips.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Didn’t really see much of Negombo as it was only a lay over but what we did see was lovely. Few shops and restaurants outside the complex and a lovely beach walk with locals enjoying the weekend.

Busy. Main attraction is the airport!
