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.

it was reasonable. The photo showed to in real is different.
Bit old looking room .
The bathroom definitely need bit more uodate.

Feel loke going to old building . The blinds in the bath room need upgrade.

Furniture could have been arranged bit more practical .
Lot of space wasted.

View is amazing and rekaxing . Staff are extremely helpful and professional.

Food was nice and variety options they had .
View to the sea is exclusive to this hotel.

We had two days relaxing time and all needs of ours were met .

The hotel’s position was excellent on the beach and the staff were lovely. The downsides were the terrible mattresses in the rooms and the small of mould. Food was good. The gym, shared with Jetwing Beach, was out of the ark or at least the 1980s.

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 .
One thing about the beach access -- it's about a 5 minute walk from the hotel lounge. And I found Negombo beach water to be somewhat polluted which hikkaduwa was not.

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 check in was chaotic and unwelcoming.
The hotel is looking very shabby and in need of decoration. We were allocated a room right at the far end of the corridor with lots of road noise from the road at the rear and the pool at the front.
The bathroom is surrounded by glass so you have to lower blinds on 2 sides for privacy.
All the staff we dealt with were surly and disinterested.
On the plus side, the location is fantastic with a great pool right on the beach. The food selection in the restaurant was good and the prices reasonable.

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

Okay. Literally just that. 4 star at a push.

Unfortunately this really isn't a 5 star hotel as they claim. It's okay. Just that. We only stayed there for 2 nights and when we arrived to our room, it seemed as if the room had been empty for quite some time, and as a result there was an unusual amount of mosquitos...especially since all doors/windows were closed, and the repellent was on. I wondered if there was a nest somewhere in the room, because compared to a lot of the hotels we stayed at beforehand it was a very unusual number of them (probably about 20 I had to get rid of in one night).

Apart from the mozzys, the room just seemed dirty. For example there was some mould breaking off in the shower and had fallen onto the floor, the corners of the room were dirty...it just didn't feel like a 5 star room at all. Keep in mind we had actually upgraded to a deluxe suite as well.

The positives were the breakfast buffet which was one of the biggest buffet's we have seen - plenty of choice and the food was good. The location is nice, literally right beside the beach.
