Goldi Sands Hotel

We loved this hotel from the minute we stepped in through the front door. Beautiful breeze great view of The Beach and lovely staff. We upgraded to a deluxe room and it was definitely worth it. The food was excellent especially at lunchtime when we had à la carte menus. We went all inclusive and it was definitely worth it. All local drinks included, but you could still buy wine if you wanted to. Every day we walked on the beach which was very safe.

This is a large hotel with good sized rooms with all facilities .Sando was one of the staff who made our stay memorable. Fantastic swimming pools to cater for all ages . It is a shame to see it so empty due of course to the middle east war.

My experience was amazing at Goldi sands .. the staff is very helpful and friendly. I met Rukshi there and she was very nice and it was a good interaction. Overall an amazing beach side property to stay and food also was good.

Fantastic experience from start of stay,to check out,clean, quiet rooms with such friendly staff, from people on front desk namely ms rukshi, to the lads who clean the rooms and restaurant staff for me being a long distance cyclist they made me feel welcome right from start,I could not have wished for more .

We stayed at Goldi Sands for two nights at the end of a 14 day Private Ultimate Sri Lanka tour purchased from Inspiring Vacations. Our tour package included “13 nights in 5-star hotels”. Whilst the Goldi Sands is well located on a nice beach, it is a long way from being a 5 star hotel. Inspiring Vacations lied to us about the tour package inclusions. We have tried contacting Inspiring Vacations about this however they keep saying they will contact us, but they don’t. The rooms at Goldi Sands are comfortable but not well maintained. Same for the property overall. It is quite run down. Service is hit and miss. Some of the staff here are great. But quite a few of the staff here seem to lack basic service training. The pool area is ok but there’s a lot of trash around and staff just walk past it. We had breakfast and dinner included as part of our Inspiring Vacations tour package. At every other Sri Lankan hotel we stayed at in the prior 11 nights the food was excellent, including some amazing curries. Sadly the food on our last two nights at Goldi Sands was very poor by comparison. A disappointing end to the tour. If you do plan to tour Sri Lanka, avoid using Inspiring Vacations as they promise 5 star hotels but do not deliver. If you do plan to stay in Negombo and expect a 5 star hotel, don’t stay at Goldi Sands. Otherwise this hotel is perfectly comfortable.
