A piece of paradise”

Jetwing Blue has an open restaurant concept and beautiful pools that take full advantage of the tropical trees and golden sand. You can enjoy the view as you relax by the pool or as you enjoy their delicious food. The hotel has newly renovated rooms. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and our stay was simply magical. The prices are very reasonable and the restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets so one can explore the various local and international dishes. We travel a lot and found this hotel and town to be one of our best surprises... Negombo is now in our "preferred" places list. We had been in Sri Lanka on business before and wanted to return for a holiday... We did it and plan to return. Sri Lanka is a jewel of a country with beautiful mountains, dense forests, and lots of wildlife. Now that the civil war is over, the government is taking good care of the national parks and have amazing elephant orphanages where one can observe elephants feeding and playing in the river--some were wounded during the war and have been rehabilitated. These orphanages take care of these handicapped animals. Some foundations offer elephant rides as well. Negombo is only about 14km from the airport. It's a stunning beach with charming fishing boats in bright colors dotting the coastline. The town caters to tourists, so there are dozens of little shops selling arts, crafts and jewelry. Spas are also very popular. One can get around easily by walking, on tuc-tucs or by hiring a car. If you want to give Sri Lanka a try, start with a stay at Negombo beach, and make sure you stay in Jetwing Blue Hotel.

BEAUTIFUL JETWING BLUE NEGOMBO”

This was the best hotel we have ever stayed in SRILANKA. It is simply magnificent , great location, ambience ,beach ,swimming pool was superb. Rooms were great too. I just wish we could have stayed a few more days to enjoy further. The breakfast was sumptuous with a separate section for fruits/drinks and another section for breads/desserts. They have a good cook as the food was delicious. I will definitely stay at Jetwing blue,negombo again. Ganasan from Malaysia

Great beach hotel near airport!”

Stayed in Jetwing Blue for one night. Arrived around 11pm from airport. Rooms have a rustic beach decor, which I quite enjoyed. They're spacious and the beds are really comfortable. The breakfast is lovely; there's a nice spread of local and international options. This hotel is connected to Jetwing Beach and we were able to use their pools and beach beds. Internet connection works very well. The hotel helped us find a driver for the week and we were able to negotiate the price because it's low season. I would recommend this place for a couple of days. Not much to do in the area besides relax on the beach or next to the pool. It's a great starting or ending point to your trip.

Loved my stay at Jetwing blue which is situated in the heart of negombo. The atmosphere, food and service was excellent. The only downfall was the pool being dirty, so I couldn’t enjoy my swim.

Great hotel for beach and closeness to airport”

I was travelling with my husband around Sri Lanka for 2 weeks. We booked 3 nights including breakfast in this hotel to finish our trip comfortably at the beach and close to the airport to catch a very early morning flight (Negombo is closer to the airport than Colombo). The buffet breakfast was very good (lots of choices) and you can enjoy the sea view throughout the breakfast. The hotel is located on the main street, therefore supermarkets and restaurants are everywhere around the hotel as soon as you exit the hotel (all accessible by foot). Although the food was very good in the hotel, we ate out most of the time for lunch and dinner. You can get great seafood in the local restaurants for much cheaper. The hotel pool was clean, large and nicely designed. We didn't see many children at the hotel. The room and bathroom were beautiful and spacious, on the ground floor with sea view. The housekeeping staff was friendly and attentive, but there is still room for improvement for the reception staff. Upon arrival, it was full of mosquitoes, so we asked the reception to bring us mosquitoe repellent, which they didn't have surprisingly enough for a 5 star hotel. But as the hotel was close to the supermarket, we got some ourselves, sprayed, went for an evening walk on the beach and by the time we were back, all was good. Throughout our stay, the room cleaning staff noticed that I was sick (flu), so they brought extra bottled water, extra box of tissues, and always left special Sri Lankan spice tea which they use against colds. The beach is very beautiful, but the water is not as clear/clean as in the South (Unawatuna) where we also spent 3 days on the beach.

Beautiful room and pool”

We stay in Jetwing Blue for 2 nights as it is near Colombo airport. The hotel is new, lovely simple decor and layout. As this is our honeymoon, my husband contacted the F&B manager, and we managed to have a table in a private part of the beach, Chef and waiters all to ourselves. Nothing better than ending the honeymoon this way.

Beautiful rooms, great location”

Great rooms, beautifully decorated. Amazing by the beach. The Bar/restaurant between Jetwing Blue and Jetwing Beach is a quieter place with great food. The beach at Blue is monitored by hotel staff making it very safe. Amazing pool.

Recommendable”

We - young couple - were there last week. Overall we enjoyed the stay at Jetwing Blue. Our suite with a jacuzzi on the balcony couldn't have been better. The breakfast buffet was broad and was alright. Location is great. Only minus point were the high prices at the bar, otherwise the hotel is defintely recommendable.

Good fun”

It's a great place to stay for an overnight/day trip to Negombo beach. The pool is a nice place to chill out. The bar and restaurant are pretty good. And the location is bang in the middle of all the action. It's a rather quite town near the airport but great for a beach day with good local dining and trinket shopping options.

Nice beach and pool”

There is nothing much to do in Negombo, so it's quite important to have nice pool and beach :) there happened to have a wedding in the hotel, hosted a quite nice beach party. Highly recommended. Food is good as well. Friendly staff, hence it puzzled us why the front desk were so rude when we were checking out.

A charming hotel.”

The hotel and the room I rented was excellent. The outdoor around the pool and at the beach was in excellent condition. The only thing that was disturbing was that the beach vendors were allowed to go into the area which would be nice not to have. The hotel staff, especially the person who took care of my booking, was absolutely amazing. This service means that I will certainly be back to this hotel next time I come to Negombo.

First night in SriLanka”

Good economy hotel if spending first night in SriLanka and landing late at the International Airport which is really in Negombo. This is an 'economy's hotel, 1 of 30 hotels in the Jetwing brand. We stayed here before departing to Sigiriya for Jetwing's Vil Uyana, the nicest hotel in Sigiriya and the best hotel of all 30 Jetwing properties

great hotel, kind staff”

We had a lovely room in the hotel, extremely spacious and a nice balcony looking over the Ocean. The breakfast buffet is first class, though the dining area isn't very appealing... we called it the barracks. Most evenings we ate at the Beach hotel next door, where the food was lovely. Some friends ate at the Blue and said it was a pretty average buffet but as you have the Beach next door it really isn't a problem. There is also a marvellous restaurant called Lords opposite the hotel where you can choose your own fish for them to cook on the bbq. We were pretty unlucky with the weather, with rain most days however at least it was warm so we were fine. They did a fantastic new year party with amazing food, a really good band, games etc... probably the best New Years do I have been to... and I have experienced a lot. All in all I would recommend this hotel.

great location clean friendly”

we stayed in the annex which was across the road it was perfect can still use the hotel facilities and its just across the road but excellent value . great beach location , good pool all staff very professional and helpful, much better than the heritance anyday. Any jetwing hotel we have stayed in is excellent

very nice , relaxed , simple decor, great bed”

Exceptional”

Jetwing Blue was our first night in Sri Lanka.A chance to unwind from our journey. The staff were helpful and the Breakfast was great in a lovely location

Get place to stay after long flight”

Stayed here after arriving at airport at 11pm. Quick drive. Booked annex as very cheap. Well worth doing as you can use all facilities at The Blue. Very comfy bed. We all fitted into it. Very clean bathroom. Wonderful breakfast. Reasonably priced. They didn't charge the children aged 3 and 5. Beach was wonderful. Interesting sail boats made interesting viewing. Great lap pool. Kids loved it too. Left around 10.30 to head to Habarana.

Nice stay, beautiful setting close to airport ”

Happy and very comfortable short stay at a lovely hotel. I booked last minute and got a deal for an annex room, note, these rooms are across the road and not as appealing as being part of the greater hotel ... but great in saying that, I had a deal therefore it was great value for money for me. Being close to the airport was fantastic for my evening arrival and I set off the next day with help from the staff. The hotel airport transfers were very expensive (3x the price of the official airport taxis).

Shared facilities”

The hotel is nice and we got a discounted room; otherwise, the facilities are shared with the much cheaper Jetwing Beach (seafront) and Jetwing Blue Annex (behind). The only thing I regret was taking the rather expensive Sri-lankan dinner option since ALL of the items were available in the breakfast buffet next morning.

Very good hotel”

We stayed at the jetwinghotels blue after a two week trip around Sri Lanka. A great way to finish off our long trip. The hotel is only a 20 minutes drive from the airport. The hotel has you would expect from a four star hotel. I am not it really is a five star. But it is ok. If not a bit over priced
