Pavana Hotel Negombo

Food good, pool good, staff friendly.

Kamal and the staff were very accommodating and helpful and the chef prepared an incredible rice and curry buffet, served in traditional woven plates, clay pots and banana leaves and all my favourite dishes - gottukola sambol from the hotel garden itself, mango curry, bean curry, chicken curry, carrot papadam ...probably one of the best rice and curry lunch buffet I have had and I lived in Sri Lanka for 5 years. I even mentioned that I would have liked to eat banana flower curry (kehel muwa) and the chef overheard and made it for us in the evening as a surprise! The hotel even kindly organised some paper printouts for us, allowed friends and family to join us in the pool for our last day in Sri Lanka before relocating overseas and made our last day very special and memorable. This will definitely be our go to place once we return for our holidays.

The food took a while to prepare but given the quality...very understandable!

Beautiful property and incredible INCREDIBLE value! Also a kind and helpful staff :)

The staff were friendly. The ground fauna and flora were pretty.

The bed was not comfortable for me. The first room was not clean and there was a dead roach and bugs inside. The rooms needed maintenance as they were tired. I didn't sleep well.
