Fantastic start to Sri Lanka holiday
Reviewed By 179brendanjWhat a fantastic way to start our holiday in Sri Lanka. The staff were most welcoming after arriving in the early hours of the morning and after approx 16 hours travelling. Check-in was seamless and we were soon in our comfortable beds for some much needed sleep. The room was immaculate, and every bit luxurious that we expected. Fantastic bathroom area as well. Room cleaning are also to be commended. We ate breakfast here over 2 days. Ask the chef for an omelette, and you will not be disappointed. The other food on offer was extensive and also very tasty. Do yourself a favour and check out the sculptures at the front of the building. Overall, a most pleasant way to to start our holiday.

Luxury, surrounded by the most natural beauty in the world
Reviewed By ArticulateDesignThe staff at Waterland, literally cannot do enough for you. Everything they do and say, is done so with the intention of providing you with a memorable experience. I think it's also important to note that they put just as much stock in the free activities as they do in the paid. As an example, Lahiru would often remind us that there are free bicycles to take whenever we like (we cycled to the beach) free pool table, books, games etc and only once did he say, oh we also do a paid boat tour if you want to see some of the wildlife and canals. The rooms themselves seem absolutely beautiful though we were only stayed in the deluxe 2 bed so i can't speak to the contents of the others. However the pool, the underwater lighting, the beautifully polished marble finish, the giant beds, the freshly ground morning coffee, the table football and the ridiculously sized bathrooms were just some of the villa's highlights. I know talking about money is a little vulgar in a review but the value on offer here is actually mindblowing to me. The amount of flavour the chef and their team squeeze into their servings is equally surprising. The coconut and lemongrass soup is honestly one of the tastiest dishes we've ever eaten. My wife could not get enough of the fruit salads and I personally couldn't get enough of the delicious french toast. I'd also like to mention how unique and relaxing their Spa is, it's literally floating on the river! You lay there, being gently rocked by the natural current!

Great experience. Friendly staff. Awesome food and Jacuzzi!
Reviewed By lob007aus88We loved the Terrace Green Hotel. We stayed for one night and were picked up from the airport using the hotel’s pickup service, which was at 1am and were really impressed they accommodated our delayed flight. The WhatsApp number of the hotel was the best way to get in touch, so would suggest using it. The hotel staff were extremely welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. We ordered the Sri Lankan breakfast and would highly recommend this. Our room had the jacuzzi on the balcony which was a really special feature. We would definitely stay again, it was a great way to start our trip.

More Than Just A Hotel Near the Airport
Reviewed By KnightsDiscoveryWe chose this hotel after civil unrest centred in Columbo forced us to move from the hotel we had booked and this hotel was a Lagoon front location which looked ideal in the online details. First impressions were not so positive when you turn off a busy street down a long single lane back-street in between a tyre garage and a small diner, then greeted with a huge ‘Park at own risk’ sign in the car park! But don’t let this put you off, it is a very nice hotel in a good central location with some fantastic views across the lagoon. The fact that it is fifteen minutes from Negombo International Airport (which is actually Columbo international, the same airport!) is a bonus, and for most people that are on organised tours, this hotel is usually a one night stop either at the beginning or end of their trip. We prefer to stay for a week and venture out on day trips and again this location worked well for us. Day trips to the Pinawawe elephant safari or Millennium Elephant Foundation (domesticated elephant rides), Lagoon tours to see the wild monkeys and an easy TukTuk ride to the beach (all can be arranged by the front desk) as well as a good pool, lawn deck overlooking the Lagoon and a fantastic rooftop restaurant with great panoramic views (unfortunately closed for refurb while we were there, but ask for a tour, well worth it for the photos). The buffet restaurant service is fantastic, I enjoyed every meal. Full of authentic Sri Lankan spices and flavours which made the A La Carte menu (when the buffet is not open due to the number of guests) look a little uninspiring, but if you ask for the Chef I’m sure he will cook you something else (he will even offer a personal ingredients shopping expedition and cooking lesson). There were quite a few minor issues we had during our stay, mostly down to a lack of attention to detail: housekeeping missed our room three times, shaving mirror fell off the wall and broke on day 1 and despite being asked what happened it stayed in our room, pool bar service was sketchy at best, room key stopped working 3 times and the decking uplights make it hard to see where you are walking at night, as well as table lights that make it hard to see what you’re eating, then there’s the beautiful waterway entrance to the downstairs restaurant with water so dirty you would never know it’s full of Japanese Koi and Fancy Catfish. Luckily they had just been joined by Carlton Fonseca, a hotel industry Guru and things could already be seen to be improving within a few days and I’m sure these things will be resolved. All the staff here are great, very friendly and you can get one of the best Mojitos I’ve ever tasted from the bar too. To summarise, a great hotel in a good location, near the airport with potential for great extended stays. I was also told that they have a second hotel on the beach so that you could easily move between the two.

Great base. Lovely hotel
Reviewed By DaisyP1960This is a fab place to stay if like me you are on a tight budget. It's situated off the main road and is about 10 mins walk to the beach and restaurants. Most people transit through only staying a couple of nights due to the close proximity of the airport. I stayed 14 nights and it was a great base. The room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the pool. Breakfast was enough to keep you going all day. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again. I hope the situation in Sri Lanka gets resolved quickly so that these hotels can fully get back to normal welcoming visitors back to their beautiful country.
