Goldi Sands Hotel - Negombo

Beautiful views, ample garden space and golden sands

Goldi Sands Hotel is one of the mega, three star rated hotels situated in one of the most popular cities of Sri Lanka among tourists which is Negombo. This beautiful hotel is placed on the long strip of land between the Indian Ocean and the Negombo lagoon which means you are away from the hustle and bustle of the busy Negombo town, but close enough to reach it within minutes. Negombo is very famous among visitors to the country due to two main reasons, which is the historical aspect of the city and also the fact that the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) is about a 15 minute drive away. Also reaching Colombo from the area is easier than ever with only a 30km odd drive which will be faster if you take the Katunayake highway.

Location

If you are coming from the airport direction make a left into Adnives Road from the Negombo road and continue for about 3km (final kilometre is along the beach road) and it will be on your left. You will be welcomed with a drink to beat the heat while you check in. The lobby area gives you a grand view as you can see the Indian Ocean in the far end waving at you (pun intended).

Rooms and Features

Some of the main highlights of the hotel is that it has a pool, which is slightly elevated above the ground level which also gives you a pleasant view of the surroundings and makes you wonder, should I stay here longer or should I hit the beach!

A bunch of room selections are available with prices starting at about $85 and up depending on the demand during time of visit and the rooms are extremely spacious and majority of them have a beach side view.

From Strawberry Mousse to delicious Watalappan, it is a dessert haven. In conclusion, you won’t be disappointed when it comes to their buffet.
