After 6 months on the road we arrived at the peaceful and tranquil surroundings of the Amaya Chalets in Negombo. Run by Manoj and his family they are so welcoming and embrace you as one of the family. The chalets are very well maintained and their local knowledge will help with your travels around this beautiful country. Highly recommend!

Very clean place, which is essential when staying away from home. Manoj and his family are great people, who're always ready to help and advise. A way... More

We decided to check the reviews of both hotels before we made our decision. It was pretty easy. The other hotel was said to be dirty and had bed bugs! Everyone said... More

The recommendation we received via trip advisor is excellent.. this place is a calm and quiet place especially for a couple and we experienced it to the max and the credit must go to Manoj and his wife. Chalets are very clean and attractive although that beauty is not apparent through his website. Manoj is very helpful and he is... More
