The cultural city of Colombo is full of attractions, such as Colombo Lotus Tower and Colombo City Centre, and is loved for its cafes and seafood restaurants.
If being by the water is a major draw, Arugam Bay Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 1 mi (1.6 km) from central Arugam Bay. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Pottuvil Point and Pasarichenai Beach.
Why not spend a carefree afternoon at Negombo Beach during your travels in Negombo? While in this relaxing area, you can enjoy the seafood restaurants.
If a restful vacation is part of your travel plans, Hiriketiya Beach might be the perfect place to seek out during your trip to Dikwella. You can enjoy the restaurants while in the area.
"This hotel was an immediate breath of fresh air. The room was gorgeous with ocean views, clean, and I knew I'd be able to relax. My only complaints: I didn't find the pillows to be very nice. Also, the room temperature control is next to the door, so if you need to adjust middle of the night... well, you'll be up and down like I was. I docked one star for cleanliness because the rooftop restaurant/pool area needed better attention. But overall, I absolutely recommend this hotel in Colombo - amazing value for the price! "
"The staff at this hotel are exceptional; I've never encountered such helpful service during my travels through over 30 countries. They go above and beyond to assist. When I booked a car and the driver was delayed, the staff quickly ordered another one through their phone and guided the driver exactly where to go. Despite being a little late for our intercity train, their support was outstanding—they even texted me to confirm I boarded the train. I didn’t miss it. That’s how caring they are. They are truly some of the best staff in the world.😍😍"
"I was given a lovely, friendly welcome. My room was super-clean and very comfortable. The egg hopper was THE BEST and is now my new breakfast favourite!"
"Loved every moment of our stay at Marino Beach Colombo — it truly exceeded expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, everything felt so comfortable and well taken care of. The highlight was definitely the stunning rooftop infinity pool, which was not just beautiful but incredibly relaxing, offering one of the best experiences of the trip.
The view from the hotel was absolutely breathtaking, especially with the endless stretch of the ocean right in front — waking up to that sight and watching the sunset from there felt magical. The ambience, the cleanliness, and the overall vibe made it such a memorable stay.
If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, luxury, and an unbeatable view in Colombo, this is definitely the one. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a peaceful yet scenic getaway. 🌊✨"
"We stayed there for Eight days. It was great experience with old world charm and modern amenities.
Rooms were very clean; Staff was very friendly and polite. Specially the "Verandah" staff was very attentive, and Breakfast and dinner was great with ever changing menus. It is unfair to mention few names as a complement because it is injustice done for others who served us with great care and friendliness. As a whole our stay was memorable. We will definitely stay at Galle Face Hotel on our next visit to Sri Lanka."
"We had a really good stay at Weligama Bay Marriott. Our stay really raised the bar for our future hotel experiences.
The ocean view from the room was breathtaking, and there was very easy beach access for swimming and surfing.
The hotel staff was really good and helpful as well, including the front desk staff, our concierge Nuwani, Kids Club supervisors Rashmi and Wishmi, as well as all the staff at the Weligama Kitchen whose names we couldn't catch.
Weligama Kitchen - The breakfast buffet included a variety of cuisine, everything was fresh and delicious compared to many places we have been in and beyond Sri Lanka. Everything was clean, and the service was impeccable.
Kids Club - Staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the space was well managed and very clean. The activities for the kids were age appropriate, and there was a variety of activities and a good selection of toys to keep the kids happy and occupied.
Pools - Well maintained and clean, we had no reservations about taking our kids there and having a good time. Related amenities like showers, public bathrooms, towel service were all very reliable.
Overall, a great place for families with little kids. Would certainly visit again. Thanks to everyone at the Marriott who helped make our stay a memorable one."
