Good food, great atmosphere and clean rooms. Awesome place for a reunion of sorts. Value for money is not the word. Staff is competent. Although may not be the greatest place to relax.. All in all had a very good time.

We started our holiday at Goldi Sands which is only 20' away form Colombo airport. The hotel is just what you want after such a long flight from Europe. The rooms are big, luxurious,comfortable, and located in a beautiful surroundings at the beach and next to the pool. The hotel manager Mr. Lal and his staff were incredibly friendly and... More

This is a superb hotel on the outer edge of Negombo, right on the beach. Tip - get up early and take a walk on the beach to see the fishermen coming in with their catch. This hotel caters to a lot of Europeans and this is reflected a bit in the food offered at the buffet dinner, although there... More

This is a great place to stay in Sri Lanka after a long flight as it is close to the airport and has its own beach and pool. The rooms are large and of a good standard and we had a good view of the sea. The breakfast was good with plenty of options western or Sri Lankan.

We staid at Goldi Sands the night we arrived in Sri Lanka. We had 2 lovely rooms, but the hotel is very expensive compared to all the others we staid at on our holiday. That just seems to be because of it's close location to the International Airport, it certainly is not because of the beach at Negombo which is... More

We stayed at the 3 star Goldi Sands for 5 nights in April. Being right on the golden sands of Negombo, this hotel is in an excellent location. The hotel has plenty of sun lounges and umbrellas and is just a short stroll across the sand to the water. The rooms are large but basic and a little outdated. The... More

A perfectly reasonable hotel on the beach. Close to restaurants and shops. Only stayed for one night and didn't try the food.

I stay in my transit to Europe. For transit, with no extra cost... this is great deal. But even this hotel is worth staying by paying as well. Very nice Beach, swimming pool, clean rooms and excellant staff. This is 4 star property (My assesment). Good for staying with family.
