Sentido Heritance Negombo

We enjoyed our stay however the standard is not 5*. The hotel IS nice and has good views, the room is beautiful too. The pool is smaller than it looks. The “let down” is the menus with hand written/edits, which would never happen in a 5* hotel, and the lack of gym. Also we asked for cappuccino at breakfast and were told this is additional cost, and one day the fresh fruit was “on request” rather than laid out for the buffet, which is weird and as I usually eat mainly fruit at breakfast making it all a bit awkward. Also no “nibbles” with drinks, again normally 5* hotels provide nuts or something with drinks. Overall fine, but not 5* so adjust expectations.

Beautiful hotel, Nice room, very friendly staff.

Great pool area. Staff were excellent. Food was OK

Staff were excellent, room is good and pool is lovely. Unfortunately there was a huge amount of noise from street level until 2am including drums and microphone singing. It was impossible for myself or my baby to sleep which was the point of getting a hotel near the airport.

5 star view of the ocean, 3.5 star room, 2 star service from the staff. Stayed for 4 nights, first day was ruined due to being given a sub standard room. After complaining to the supervisor, we were given a nicer room with a beautiful view of the pool/ocean - but the room felt more like 3.5 star - nothing special, No mini bar and room was outdated. Paid nearly $200/night, not worth the price. Breakfast was the same for all 4 days of our stay. Also, felt that people of color are treated differently and raised this with the supervisor. The arrogant male staff in particular at front desk, restaurant and pool area need to be trained properly. This was raised with the supervisor.. Note that an additional 10% service charge, 18% VAT is added to food/beverage/spa.
