We spent our last 2 nights in Sri Lanka at this hotel and were very happy there. We didn't book so ended up with a suite which far surpassed our requirements but was a lovely treat. There was air con and fan, a safe and a fridge (which wasn't turned on.) The pool was great as the beach isn't very... More

We spent 7 nights at Villa Araliya and had a great week there. We stayed in the Araliya apartment, based on two floors with a kitchan and lounge area. It has a relaxed family feel and the owners love animals as there are dogs and cats lounging around the complex. We loved the animals, especially the little puppy and the... More

The good. Beautifully designed and furnished rooms with the best features of the Geoffrey Bawa design school, such as polished concrete, tall ceilings, natural wood, outside staircases and at least one piece of classic Sri Lankan antique furniture. Each room has a safe, AC and fan. The swimming pool is great and there is a nice relaxing eating area by... More

Spent 4 days at Villa Aralya after a tour of Sri Lanka. My room was spacious and clean. Breakfast same every day. Vegetarian restaurant. Ate there twice: pizza one night and roti and 3 sides the other night. My regret is : beach is not far, true. But when you get there, no comfort of course, no chair, umbrella, shade...... More

We spent our first two nights of our holidays here. The hotel is close to the airport, only 20 min by taxi, located in a quiet street. Rooms are spacious and clean, very nice bathroom. Staff and owner were friendly and helpful. Pool was nice. However, most sunbeds were made of concrete, not very comfortable.

This hotel was recommended by friends and we spent the last night of our trip there. Good choice in Negombo. Very clean, spacious rooms and comfy beds. The hotel's location is quite and easy to reach. No need for Tuk-Tuk to get around in Negombo. The staff is friendly. Breakfast pretty poor, though. You must love pets here, lots of... More
