Stayed here 10 nights in early May. Very good service from all staff, helped by the hotel being generally quiet as low season. Initially had a standard room, in the older block. The room was good size, but the bathroom was very cramped. The room, and bathroom particularly could have done with a deep clean. Had a moisture problem and... More

We had a great day at the Sea last weekend! It was spur of the moment trip that I took with my wife (I'm writing the review for her) and we thought of taking a break from our other favorite Jetwing property, the Lagoon, and try the Sea for a change. We booked one of the suites and loved every... More

We missed our transit flight in colombo back from our Honeymoon, so Sri lankan airlines gave us a one night transit at the Jetwing Sea hotel. The hotel is in Negombo which is closer to the airport. All the staff always greeted us with a smile. Ms. Liza (The receptionist) was always cheerful and made us feel special by giving... More

This hotel (including dinner and breakfast) was provided for us by SriLankan Airlines as a stop-over. They might want to re-think the places they send their business-class passengers to spend the night. Check-in was quick and efficient, but no information was offered unless you asked; such as, when and where is dinner and breakfast? is there wifi? The room was... More

This trip was an anniversary and an early 70th birthday treat for my hubby. The young man who checked us in, sorry name has gone, was extremely pleasant and took us to our 4th floor deluxe room. At the end of the corridor so no probs with noise from other guests. The most gigantic room, comfortable bed and bathroom! Great... More

We loved our recent stay at Jetwing Sea. Beautiful location right on the seafront! We stayed 2 nights in one of the newer rooms. Very comfortable beds, ever so clean rooms & gorgeous views over the beach with amazing sunsets. The gym was an added bonus also with ocean front views. We found the food to be of a very... More

I am often in Negombo for business & leisure and usually stay at the jetwing blue, but this time tried the jetwing sea. This was a mixed outcome decision. Ok, Front desk personnel was good (much better than Jetwing Blue) and the rooms we had were gigantic. But that is where bliss stopped. From poor breakfast, to bad and slow... More

We stayed in a superior room in April 2013 and had a wonderful 6 night break at the end of our holiday. These rooms are excellent and although we didn't see the standard rooms i believe that the superior one's are far better and worth the cost of the upgrade. The beach is lovely and is literally a step out... More

We stayed for one night and the overall experience was so unsatisfactory. The reception lady was so rude she rushed us through the entire procedure. Did not even had the patience till we finished the welcome drink. It was very obvious the double service standards when she was serving foreigners vs. locals :-( Such a disgrace!!!!
