Hotel berhampiran Sanasa Recidence, Gampaha

Last June (June 2024), for the third or fourth time, we; my wife and two daughters stayed again at the Covanro. This place is so attractive, in terms of the people, the service, the food and the location so every time we visit Sri Lanka, we keep going back to this fabulous hotel. The people are kind, considerate, respectful and courteous in every sense of the word which I observed a trait that is coming down from the top management. Combined with that is the quality of the service they offer which is higher than expected for a hotel operating in an environment such as in Sri Lanka. For those food lovers, whatever taste you are looking for; Sri Lankan style spicy food, Asian style or Western cuisine, the chefs at the Covanro’s kitchen are capable of addressing your taste buds and, in my experience, they always exceed one’s expectations. We were highly impressed of the high standard of accommodation the Covanro offers with a wide range of rooms to select from which are large and spacious and also, a few types of luxury suites. During our stay we joined many other guests who enjoyed hotel amenities such as the swimming pool, gym and sauna which are available for the guests free of charge, bar facilities included. For any visitor, the Covanro is an excellent introduction to friendly and courteous Sri Lankan hospitality which follows the traditional greeting “Ayubowan”.

We recently visited Tamarind Tree Garden Resort Hotel for our annual office outing, and the experience was outstanding. The resort was beautifully organized, making our group feel welcomed and well-catered to throughout our stay.  The service was excellent—staff were attentive, polite, and made sure that all our needs were met. The resort itself is serene, surrounded by lush greenery, which added a relaxing vibe to the whole event. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall positive atmosphere.  We were impressed by the smooth coordination and attention to detail. Everything from check-in to meals was handled seamlessly, making our office outing truly memorable. We would definitely recommend the Tamarind Tree Garden Resort Hotel for both group events and individual stays!

This place is excellent for a stay. Especially if coming to or from the international airport. Our welcome was friendly and efficient. The room is excellent, pristine and equipped for all that is needed for our overnight stay. The bed is also very comfortable. Breakfast was brought to the room however I chose to have this at the small table and chairs outside of the room on a small terrace. A perfect place for this. The breakfast is more than adequate, also caters for me as a vegetarian. I asked for a knock at my door to be woken up in case I had slept thrmy alarm and this was given. Such a delightful place to stay. A small courtyard garden with a static table and seats if wanted. Garden lights during the evening make this a pretty area to relax. Tea, coffee and water are available in the room. There was air conditioning and a ceiling fan. The accommodation is located down a side road from the main road. This means it’s nice and quiet. For dinner we decided to walk jumping a few metres to another hotel which served food. However, Faith Hotel do have menus for which to order food which would be delivered if required. Alternatively, we were offered an option of being taken to another place if we wished. We had booked for 2 separate airport transfers as we were travelling on separately to different places. This was organised by and with the owner dropping us all in good time. I noted while at the stay, information regarding trips to places and even tours can be organised. Additionally there is information on an Ayurveda treatments option at a place called Ayurveda Villa which really looked good. This had different packages with a stay including food consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor to decide on the relevant treatments for your package. To use up our rupees we were able to pay part cash, part card which was so convenient. This couple really do offer everything in a stay at Airport Faith Hotel. They are passionate about what they do, are committed to making your stay the best. They have everything available or on hand and can’t do enough to make your stay a happy and good one. I highly recommend a stay here.

I recently stayed at Vivanta Colombo Airport Gardens and had a mixed experience. The pool area is absolutely fabulous, offering a great place to relax. The food exceeded my expectations, with wonderful flavors and a good variety. The staff were notably attentive, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, the pricing felt a bit steep for what was offered, especially given the disappointing room view which was just overlooking buildings, contrary to the picturesque images advertised. Additionally, the terms and conditions were confusing and poorly written, potentially disadvantaging guests. A word of advice: skip the pricey airport shuttle service, which costs 4000 Sri Lankan rupees, and opt for an Uber or PickMe ride, which you can get for around 500 rupees.

Leaf on Lagoon has been a delight. The staff here strive to please. Although the hotel is a little dated it is extremely comfortable and clean. I can't say enough about the staff, absolutely incredible. The food is extremely delicious. I had the opportunity to pick my meal of crab (2 Crab)....approximately 1 pound for 800 Sri lankan rupees ($2,96 CAD). THE chef prepared 1 was curried, and the other boiled. My wide had the broiled fish both meals came with all the fixings...all for approximately $15 CAD. The owner of this hotel/restaurant needs to recognize the asset of his employee are especially his general manager, head chef, and wait staff. I highly recommend Leaf on Lagoon.

I had a wonderful stay at Limeshine Transit Hotel in Negambo. The room was impeccably clean, with fresh bedsheets, and both the AC and fans were in perfect working condition. The bathroom was spotless and well-stocked with handwash, shampoo, and body wash. Hot water and towels were also readily available. The hotel's location is very convenient, with a Cargills grocery store just a 2-minute walk away. There's a balcony and I enjoyed the view. The staff were exceptionally nice and incredibly helpful throughout my stay. I highly recommend Limeshine Transit Hotel to anyone visiting the area. Thank you to the hotel staff for their excellent service—keep up the great work!

Ziegler Cottage was our comfortable home for a few days while we visited Negombo. It is easy to reach from the airport, and you can take tuk-tuks or the bus into Negombo. Our room had a sea view and a balcony with sea breezes making airconditioning unnecessary. The waves were too high for us to swim in the sea but the pool made up for it. Food, especially the fruit selection at breakfast, was very good. Staff were responsive and very hard-working. The hotel can organize trips--our all-day outing to a spice plantation, the Ridee Viharaya Temple, and the elephant park was perfect. Everyone goes out of their way to accommodate your needs. The hotel owner drove us to our destination when our ride did not show up. Thank you for a memorable stay! we look forward to returning.

Sehr gutes Hotel mit sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Personal. Die Hotelanlage und auch die Zimmer waren sehr gepflegt. Das Essen im Restaurant war hervorragend und preiswert (Lunch und Dinner). Der kostenlose Transfer hat hervorragend gepasst, Fahrzeit ca. 15 Minuten. Ich werde auf alle wiederkommen. Danke a das nette Personal.

As a practice I usually speak to several staff when I visit somewhere before making a genuine comment for the improvement of that organization. Seeing so many sad faces in this happy place, I deeply thought many times whether to write on this or not. Taking care of External Customers is a good thing as long as Internal Customers (your employees) also feel fairly treated. “Clients do not come first. Employees do. If you take care of your employees, naturally they will take good care of the clients.” Your staff doesn't look to be happy and as customers we can feel those things also. Note to management!

My hotel stay was wonderful. Checking in was smooth, and the staff was friendly and attentive during my visit. I used the gym daily; it had modern equipment. The pool was terrific, with great views of the water. My room was spacious and offered a lovely view of the water. The hotel is conveniently located near shopping and dining spots. I highly recommend this hotel when in Colombo.
