This is the third time I have stayed at Jetwing Beach on a stopover to India. It is convenient to the airport. The rooms are comfortable and many overlook the beach. It is very quiet, and the breakfast is fabulous (particularly the Sri Lankan curry. Yum!).

Negombo is a small fishing town. Great for a couple of nights stay. Don't miss the fish markets and definitely do a river cruise.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Good weather great beach and plenty of people about.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

The locals are delightful, the worst thing, aggressive local and street dogs, mainly the area and beach around the fish markets, they even harass the locals.

3/5 - Okay

Negombo isn’t a place to stay more than one night. Very busy and crowded, getting onto the main highway you’ll see why!

3/5 - Okay

Not a great deal to see and do but good to stay after or before flying in or out.
