I really love this hotel location. Beautiful. They even had a gift shop in there. Staff very helpful right there on the beach.The only thing I did not like about this place is they had so many blackbirds and they didn't really shoot the birds away.So the birds would jump on your table and just eat your food. Is best to take breakfast up in your bedroom?Do not eat downstairs.tge black crow Birds are out of control! That is the only thing that annoyed me.So much that I would not go back.

We had an excellent experience relaxing at Jetwing Sea. The pool was amazing and was adjacent to the beach which made relaxing by the pool/beach divine. The breakfast was awesome with a variety of options from authentic Sri Lankan to Continental. The wait staff at the restaurant were extremely friendly and accommodating. The room and bathroom had a very comfortable layout and the cleaning staff did a great job keeping things clean and tidy. The spa was heavenly and the spa treatment was extremely relaxing.

The only opportunity for improvement is communication. The staff at reception seemed to struggle with communication and that made the check in and check out processes very tedious.

Overall, however, we had an excellent experience and would highly recommend the Jetwing Sea who is looking for a relaxing vacation by the beach, away from any hustle and bustle. I would love to go back to spend more days just relaxing by the ocean and playing at the pool.

The Deluxe Room is a large size

The customer service provided by the staff was second to one. I found this hotel to be more of a 3 Star however. It lacked a bit of design/class. The room was a great size however and had access to the seafront. I would suggest doing a deeper clean of the rooms. Other than that, it’s perfectly fine for a short stay.

I had a driver for a weekend safari who was to drop me at the Jetwing Sea on Sunday night. due to my requests, we were very delayed and didn't arrive until midnight. I called ahead to see if we could get a cot put into my room because my driver was very tired and faced an 8 hr journey home. my reservation was for 2 nights, but I only wanted the cot for one night and no breakfast for the driver. they insisted multiple times that I had to pay extra for the cot, and also pay for breakfast and for two nights for him. I told them over and over that he would only stay one night and no breakfast. they finally quoted me $20 for that, but then they kept on saying that if he stays for 2 nights they will charge double (over and over they said this, no matter how many times I said he will only stay one night). it was like they thought I was trying to trick them and was being dishonest, even though this was my fifth year at this hotel. It was very rude. but anyway, I told them I agreed to the charge and that they should go ahead and put the cot in the room (this conversation was 3-4 hours before we arrived). when we got there, the cot was not there, and we had to wait for them to install it when it was very late and we were very tired, and I had business early in the morning. also, on check out day, I was sleeping in, and before 8am, they had staff out on my veranda cleaning and were banging on the furniture and window, and shouting to each other, waking me up. not appreciated.

Disappointed with my Sri Lankan Gem

This was my 6th visit to the Jetwing Sea. I was disappointed to find that refurbishing works were going on in the south wing of the hotel where our rooms were. We were not made aware of this and it was very noisy all day and into early evening. Half the wing and rooms were closed off. After two days we did get moved and upgraded but it took some effort. My friend who was staying for the fist time was upgraded on arrival. Very disappointing way to treat a loyal and frequent visitor. However as always the staff and service was fantastic.

Little value for the price

It’s your standard big hotel by a dirty ocean front (no rubbish, just dirty beach sand). The welcome was great. However, the room we were allocated was right next to the boarded up section of the left wing being redone... the hotel wasn’t full either. It was clearly in need of being redone itself. Notwithstanding, it was bland and devoid of colour or any character. It was ok for an airport preflight stayover. The spa was excellent - the lady really knew what she was doing and the pools were great. It was when we went for dinner that it really went downhill got us. We ordered a bottle of wine and the waiter did not know what he was doing, pouring glasses when the tasting had not finished. The buffet was disappointing: oily Mongolian and the worst curries ever. Thank god for the desserts - their pastry chef somewhat cured an otherwise terrible meal fir which we had to fork out Rs 3000+ pp.

Close to the beach but not up to the standard

We have stayed in many Jetwing Hotels and I would rate this the poorest. You cannot rate this as a 4 star hotel because the standards are no where near to other Jetwing 4 start hotels. Hotel needs a complete revamp if you are to call this a 4 star hotel. There were several noticeable marks/patches on bed linen & on towels. Bathroom was not cleaned properly, broken fittings (both soap holders were broken) & the AC was not working properly even after engineers came and fixed it. Extremely disappointed with the hotel amenities but we were impressed with the kind, friendly & helpful staff.
