Stayed at Camelot Beach Hotel - Negombo, Sri Lanka.
|
Its a good place to start or end your holiday in Sri Lanka , because the place is close to the airport. (about 10km, transport from airport by taxi about 5,50 USD) . The beach is nothing special, high waves, a bit dirty, therefore not very suitable for swimming. There are no hotel beaches, because according to the law the beach belongs to the local fishermen. It's worth to stroll around the old city of Negombo with its Dutch canals, some old Dutch churches and its fishing port. Many small restaurants can be found along St. Lewis Place Rd., about 3 km north of Negombo town, where most hotels are located. But do not expect any vibrant nightlife there. If you are on a backpacking tour, you may use buses directly from Negombo bus station to Kandy or places north of Negombo to avoid the hussle of Colombo city.

I was only there for 2 days, but was pleased with the 1 tour that I had time to take, which was to Kandy, with various attractions along the way. The Elephant Orphanage is a must see.

WE stayed in Negombo as we were only there for 4 days and it is only 20 mins. from airport. We were pleasantly surprised with the resort as the beach is fabulous and clean, there are several bars and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel and Negombo is a short Taxi ride away. We did not eat out but we had a drink in the Happy Banana Bar each night and found the staff very helpful and friendly. We did not take any tours.
