Sentido Heritance Negombo

Hotel is centrally located amongst the street shops and restaurants. I chose it because it’s the best hotel in the area. Rooms overlook the sea. Excellent noise insulation from the street with door having special sealing, meaning it had to be pulled hard to close. The wifi was strong throughout the hotel and gardens/grounds. The lawn area facing the beach is so peaceful to lay back on a deck chair in the shade of the palm trees and listen to the sound of the sea and birds. Contrary to comments by others I saw no issue with the ravens. These birds are common across south East Asian. Breakfast selection was not extensive, unlike some large international hotel chains, but the Sri Lankan curries were so tasty and the bread rolls still warm I enjoyed the breakfast every day. Kassandra, Guest Relations Officer said the rolls were made by a bakery across the street. Lots of tv programs with 3 English movie channels. Nice pool and gym.

Absolutely loved my stay at Sentido! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully styled. I especially enjoyed the food – fresh, delicious, and with great variety. Whether relaxing by the pool or exploring the local area, everything about the experience was just right. Can’t wait to come back!

The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed, free from disturbances, and very quiet. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. We spent the evening staring at the sky for at least two hours. The food is delicious, and the pool is large and spacious. The cocktails are sharp. Overall, it was a nice, relaxed stay! We even extended our stay for two days

We had a truly wonderful stay at Sentido Heritance Negombo! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome with their kindness and professionalism. As a special surprise, they generously upgraded our room to a suite for free — such a thoughtful gesture that made our experience even more memorable. The hotel itself is spotless, beautifully maintained, and offers a stunning ocean view that we enjoyed every day. The swimming pool is absolutely magical, perfect for relaxing or taking in the sunset. Our room was spacious, stylish, and extremely comfortable — everything we needed for a perfect getaway. Highly recommended for anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and genuinely warm hospitality. We can’t wait to return!

We stayed for one night and one day before departing SriLanka. We also managed to have a late checkout (6pm) to work in with our midnight flight. We did have to pay another AUD$75 per room but that meant we could sit by the pool all day and then rest, pack and shower before going to the airport. Whilst the rooms are a little tired, the pool, restaurant and bar are lovely. The highlight was the curry dinner in the restaurant and the delightful staff members. Danushka in particular was attentive, communicated really well and was extremely professional in his service. Thank you all for a great stay!
