Windmill Beach Rest Hotel

We chose this hotel as it was within easy reach of Colombo airport (about 25 minutes). We arranged with the hotel for a car to pick us up and our driver was extremely helpful. We actually booked the day before as well so we could go straight to our room. When we arrived (6.30am and very tired!), we were quickly shown to our room and made very welcome. During our 3 weeks stay we got to know the staff very well and they really went out of their way to make us feel at home. The pool, at times, was a little cloudy, but they made every effort to keep it clean. Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable. Attached to our room was a kitchen area with a fridge and sink. A kettle was provided. The local town area is a short walk up a little road. Be aware though when it rains the road does flood (not the hotel's fault!). Lots of really good restaurants. A short tuk tul ride to Negombo Town centre and the local market is well worth it. Market day on Sunday. But I think the main thing was how amazing the owners and staff were. They couldn't do enough for us, always had a smile and always had time to talk to us. All in all this little hotel was a perfect way to chill out after a long flight. Thank you all, I promise we will be back. PS if you get a chance, talk to Pri (the owner) about nutrition, he is extremely knowledgeable and has written books on the subject.
