Top 10 Resorts in Colombo, Sri Lanka

May 4, 2023 Oliva Fomby

Colombo is the gateway to Sri Lanka for most travelers—but don’t be tempted to simply pass through this diverse and interesting city. Take a train ride along the coast to Mount Lavinia, a popular beach, or explore the Talangama Wetland, which several TripAdvisor travelers say is the perfect place to take a break from the bustling streets of the city.

Welcoming, comfortable and clean

Reviewed By Blondie86186338

We arrived during the curfew and our bags had not made it onto our flights so we arrived with nothing but the clothes on our back. The duty manager whose name I unfortunately can't remember was so helpful, calling the airport to try and get through to them about our luggage. The hotel wasn't fully booked so he also upgraded us to a sea view room. We enjoyed happy hour and dinner on their roof top terrace and slept really well in the room. I would definitely go back.

Reviewed By Missaka H

Let’s get to the point.. food was amazing and matched our expatiation, “yep the F&b staff including the F&b service manager have the worst customer service “. Basic knowledge of service like not providing finger bowl, tablet set including cutlery and plates where so dirty. Lack of “communication issues” cleared our buffet ahead of schedule time. Most of all embracing thing in front of our family members for the settlement. While the event is going on. Despite of depositing the advance payment. We won’t be recommending this hotel at all…!

Last night in Sri Lanka

Reviewed By RAKdec

Last night in Sri Lanka before flying home. Situated overlooking the ocean, the staff of this hotel were extremely helpful, attentive and friendly. The rooms were pleasant with a very good ensuite bathroom. Breakfasts, both Western and Sri Lankan, were very tasty and plentiful. We really appreciated the top floor terrace with our last "Arrack" night cap! The proximity of the trains may be an issue for some but Colombo is a bustling city.
