Travelled in June which is off season / monsoonal however we barely saw any rain - sunbaked by the pool most days and was very relaxing to travel in the quiet season - at times had the whole pool and grounds to ourself. ..."

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

Kelly

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

JoshHelenaElla

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