We stayed at Serene because we had one last night in Sri Lanka and wanted a location near Colombo before flying off. We would not do this again, as Colombo also has decent places and for some beach feeling, Negombo is better located. The property is nice but isolated and on a beach which is not much use (brown water,... More

We travelled to serene pavilions on our honeymoon and at first sight we fell in love with the place. We stayed at an ocean pavilion called Prashanti. The pavilion was large and spacious and it had everything you could think of. The Bathroom was gorgeous. We had a lovely kitchen/pantry which was well-equipped. Food was great. A special thank you...

Gorgeous property. The ocean pavilions were massive and very cozy. Food was good but definitely overpriced. The plunge pool had a good depth to it yet the area lacked privacy as butlers and other guests would walk by from time to time. Loved the jacuzzi effect in the main swimming pool, it was lots of fun!

Dear Rukshila, Thank you very much for your feed back on the tripadvisor. I wish to inform you that on request we do provide a temporary partition that covers the Ocean Pavilion's Private Pool area . However, arising from your comments, we would request our Butlers to specifically check with all our customers whether they require any such covering to... More

In need of a 5 day trip away from reality, we travelled to Serene Pavillions and it exceeded all our expectations. After drooling over the pictures online being there was even better. The hotel, pavillions, location, spa and service were exceptional. We were in Santutti pavillion and spent most of the time outside in the private plunge pool so had... More

If you are looking for a place to relax, peppered, and enjoy great cuisine than this is the place to go to. After an exciting two weeks of touring Sri Lanka we had decided to choose a place where we could reflect on our journey, take a break and simply endure some space then I can certainly confirm that this...

This 5 star hotel is a real jewel in the magnificent island of Sri Lanka and located perfectly on a tranquil clean beach amid the Indian Ocean. The hotel welcomed us at the airport with fresh cold towels and cool water as we hit the humid 32oc heat outside. This was very much appreciated. The transfer was efficient and after... More

It's hard to fault Serene Pavillions; you arrive to a professional but personal reception, all of the staff from the management to the maintenance people are friendly and smiling and you really get the impression that this isn't just about being courteous to the customer, the Sri Lankan people seem to have a genuine serenity about them. Our pavillion had... More
