Ok. But old and tired- best hotel on the group but small details like no lounges which over look the pool (important with younger kids) was frustrating… when I asked to

Move one on the grass the pool attendant said no as everyone will want that… hmm perhaps maybe put some buy the pool then???

The staff at Jetwing Blue are fantastic. So welcoming and obliging. The property is a little on the dated side but key amenities such as toilets, bathroom and electrical connections plus wifi all worked well. Rooms are spacious with views of the ocean. The catamaran rides are fun and the Dutch canal boat tour is much worthwhile. A slight disappointment was quality of the food, in both hotels and restaurants in Negombo. Transportation, however, works well and we didn't get ripped off. A visit to Club Ceylon for dinner is worthwhile too but avoid Black Coral in Jetwing Beach.

The hotel is well located right on the beach with an amazing spacious pool. Restaurant had a wide selection of local and international food to suite most. Staff always smiling and helpful with most having very good English. We were made to feel extremely welcome during our nine day staff. The hotel was safe and secure and we used it as a base to travel the country.
Only a few things really need tweaking. My wife used the Spa and wasn’t that impressed. The staff tried hard but wasn’t really skilled enough for the Spa treatments on offer. Apart from the pool there’s nothing much for children so maybe set up something that kids can enjoy ( face painting, henna, some form of craft workshop).

Overall myself and my family would recommend this hotel, it’s close to the airport (30 min drive) and very comfortable and reasonably priced for families

Overall, an enjoyable stay

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Jetwing Blue. On arrival, we were greeted very nicely and had our bags sent to our room. The rooms are large and quiet. The blinds on the windows dont do much, so we used eye masks. The breakfast buffet is very comprehensive. We were there when it was busy, so it was a bit of a hassle to get an omlette. The wait staff were a bit slow for a cup of tea and were not as friendly as other staff members. They were busy though, maybe that is why. The pool is excellent and pretty big.

Rooms are cool with good a/c and bathrooms are well appointed. There is a lot to do within walking distance of the hotel - cool cafes, good bars and restaurants as well as plenty of tuktuks on standby to visit the town if you want to explore. Conveniently located for airport and Colombo and the hotel drivers we hired for airport drop and Colombo city tour were good. Overall had a really good experience during our 4 days stay and would definitely recommend to others and hopefully we will visit again someday.

It's a a pleasant enough hotel but charges higher than necessary. My stay was comfortable, but nothing overly grand -- so it shouldn't have a 5str rating .

This hotel is tired and in need of a spruce up, particularly room 114 that we stayed in. The bathroom is disgraceful! We arrived tired after a long journey from the UK and had no towels. I was given 2 brown beach towels and told if I wanted bathroom towels it would take 30 mins!. Staff are all friendly enough but show little motivation maybe it’s down to training post the covid sleep? Our bed was comfy but our ocean view not exactly what I had expected. Stayed two nights so didn’t complain as we had opened a very full suitcase already and couldn’t be bothered to pack back up. I want convinced other rooms might be any better.

The bathroom is surrounded by glass so you have to lower blinds on 2 sides for privacy.

Would recommend

We booked in for our last night in Negombo, after an amazing 3weeks in Sri Lanka.
We read the reviews, some not too good , but our priority was a pool and relaxing day . We weren’t disappointed. The pool is fabulous and right on the beach.as they serve food around the pool , it meant we didn’t have to wait the long “Sri Lankan time “ stuck inside when sun was shining. The bar food was absolutely delicious, a welcome to have some European food . Very reasonabl, quick and beautifully presented. yes there are crows waiting to hop , but and we did see one attack another table, and one swooped down on my daughters chip in her hand while walking to the sun bed. So management should try some “scare crows “: as this may be harmful to small children, not as aware.
Apart from that , we also had the buffet food, which was just fantastic, first fillet beef we had, but choices full Sri Lankan and European. Our room was in main building, bright and airy and good accessories and a balcony .
Perhaps it is more a 4 star, but would still recommend
