Regenta Arie Lagoon Negombo

very close to the airport when we needed somewhere to stay after a long flight. the pool beds face the lagoon and you get some lovely morning and afternoon sun but less in the evenings when the sun sets. staff were very helpful and arranged taxi’s for us on the “Poya” New Year, despite it being very busy in Sri Lanka. rooms were very modern and comfy with large beds, everything very clean.

service was a little slow for the a la carte menu but the food was excellent and it was of course New Year so hence the delay. all the team were very accommodating.

Fairly secluded which is nice though I'd advise to hire a car or some mode of transport if you're thinking of staying here as you will need it to get around if you're thinking of leaving the hotel. WiFi was strong, staff was friendly, room was huge, food was good and reasonably priced.

Now this is being picky.. but I'd have preferred a little more variety to the breakfast buffet. Though there was a lot and it changed daily, I'd have expected more fruit but that's just a personal preference. Apart from that, I really don't have anything bad to say about my stay.

I loved this hotel. I arrived early, before check-in time. No problems, I had something to eat and drink wjhile waiting for my room. I had been travelling all night and so hungry and tired. it wasn't long before my room was ready so appreciated the early check-in. The staff in the restaurant were exceptionally nice and friendly. I had amongst the best food here while staying in Sri Lanka - both ordering from the menu and then later in the evening from the buffet when my friends arrived. The vegetarian curries, dhals and breads are delicious. My room and bathroom were comfortable, clean and spacious.

Nothing - I loved it here

Arie Lagoon was a very nice hotel , we enjoyed it a lot. The place is quiet and clean, the garden and the view is beautiful. We would come back for sure again .I would recommend this hotel to all travelers to Sri Lanka . The housekeeping did also a very good job .

1. Around the pool the woods needed to be fixed urgently , this way how they are now , they are dangerous if you walk barfoot there 2. The staff is very kind but if they see there are not many guests they are talking loud and having fun witheachother at the restaurant area ! Thats why few times we needed to wait bit longer until they took our order for drinks and food . This may never happen if there are guests ! 3. Sometimes needed to wait very long for our food ! 4.Some of the staff didnt have nice smell

The staff at the hotel made the hotel, they were all so friendly and professional. One person in particular, a man named Saranga made my stay and went out of his way to make sure I always had everything I needed. Without Saranga my stay would have been average. Even during the crisis in Sri Lanka he made sure everything was possible for me to do.

There really is not much bad to say about the property, the place is rarely remote and the breakfast was the same everyday. But besides that it was lovely.

The staff are the happiest and most professional I have come across in over 60 countries visited.The gardens, facilities and large rooms with a balcony were excellent.Transport was at the front of the hotel.Good value and lovely food.

All excellent Nothing I did not like.

Very well kept. Aesthetically pleasing. Great and super helpful staff. Peaceful area. Great for couples. Amazing views. Super comfortable rooms with all utilities included.

Knife disappeared after first cleaning. Buffet much more expensive than ordering directly from the menu. Menu way tastier than buffet.

The buffet dinner is worth going for. Excellent food. We couldn’t make the timings for breakfast due to our flight time. So they made us a little packed breakfast which was going above and beyond. The rooms are spacious and clean. It’s an excellent stay near the international airport. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

The rooms are a bit dark and there was a bit of a smell of drains from the shower. Although convenient location for the airport it’s not really a spot for a holiday, more for business meetings and events. A lot of facilities were closed due to covid, which is understandable but a lot of other hotels are still providing these facilities. The gym was open but the aircon was broken. It took a little while to check in.

The property is beautiful and well taken care of, we enjoyed both pools, hotel staff is very attentive and always ready to help. It was worth visiting!

The breakfast variety could be better, also buffet finishes pretty early 9:30, would be nice if they offered a bit late hours let's say until 10:30. Keep in mind that tuk-tuks are very expensive in Negombo.

Food in the restaurant is average. But I loved huge garden and space around the resort. Our family room was very big and cofortable. Two pools you can choose from and a little childrens playground which is nice than you travel with kids.

No Fan in the rooms. I don't like air conditioning and insted of that I usualy use Fan.
