Dear Friends ,
While returning from Kualalumpur to Karachi we (me and my wife and four children) had to stay one night in a Hotel given by the Srilankan Airlines and at the airport there were at least one hundred people at the counter of transit/transfers ,any how i succeeded to get a voucher of 3 doublebedrooms in a hotel named Paradise Holiday village and we proceeded to the transport counter and were given seats in a coach having almost 4 families and few single passengers . the coach started and after a distance of 10-15 mins the driver started announcing the hotel names and stopped there and the passengers having that Hotels voucher dropped there . when we reached our Paradise Holiday Village Hotel ,it depicted adverse as what we have seen in the hotels on our way .First of all it was opposite to the beach & it had no enterance gate and the counter was almost on the road anyway looked as a Haunted House where it was very difficult to stay with four kids ( aged 3,6,11,15yrs and all girls) . After seeing the rooms i rushed back to the reception and told them that i cannot stay there because there were lizards in the washrooms and Aircondition was not working and need to talk to the airline person ,the guy at the reception called some number and the guy from the Srilankan airline namely Isuru told him on phone that there are too many passengers therefore all hotels are fully booked therefore He could not do anything any ways i got out on tuktuk and started searching other hotels and reached this really PARADISE BEACH HOTEL and met their General Manager Mr.E.Croos who was a real gentle man and He agreed with me that one can live with animals and lizards etc in a mountain cave but not in a hotel room , Any way Mr.Croos was really an angel for me & my family in the Paradise Beach Hotel and He said, you stay here and i will solve the matter with the airline people ,Any way the Hotel is Lovely and the staff from the bottom to the top were Real help and i would never stay in any other hotel in NEGOMBO SRILANKA .

We came to this hotel after being caught up in the post-volcano chaos. Unlike other, bigger hotels, this hotel didn't raise its prices to rip off helpless travellers. The hotel is lovely - rooms are spacious, clean, with lovely bathrooms, air-con, tv, fridge, safe, fan. The food in the restaurant is really good - they have excellent chefs and all food is freshly cooked - no luke-warm buffets here. The staff are friendly and customer satisfaction is their number one priority. The manager, Anton, and his wife were extremely helpful and kind. The gardens and swimming pool are attractive and well-laid out. We had a lovely, and very reasonably priced, week here. I know where I would stay if I went back to Sri Lanka!

This hotel, now known as the Paradise holiday village, is truly a remarkable place to stay. It is owned by an Englishman, who knows what is an acceptable standard was european tourists. It is managed very well by Mr and Mrs Anton Gomez. The hotel is very near the beach but not directly on it. The pool is big enough and well maintained. The rooms are clean, well maintained with good a/c, satellite tv, fridge etc. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent with a good varied menu and good chefs. The restaurant is very well managed by Ayesh, Pradeep and Ajith, whose service is excellent. This hotel deserves the highest praise and is well worth a visit. I highly recommend it.
