Ganepola Holidays

Beautiful property on the outskirts of Negombo in a very peaceful calm location. Perfect for resting after a long flight of from some quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the beach properties. There are only 5 rooms. We had room 2 which is a beautiful heritage room in the original house. Breakfast is delicious. Lovely varied menu. Dinner is also good but note that the prices here are in USD and pricier than in town. Few things I didn’t like so much 1. There is no driver or tuk tuks nearby so we had to reply on the unreliable uber app to get into town. It’s about 20 mins and between 600-1000 in a tuk tuk. 2. The water in the bathroom is scalding hot. I burned myself a little the first night so it would be good if the hotel could add a warning sign somewhere. 3. There are no suggested tours or guides from the property. It would be good if the hotel could perhaps have a few suggestions on hand to avoid trawling through Expedia, get your guide etc. other than this I think our stay was pretty perfect.

Nice experience. Friendly staff but the rooms could use some maintenance!

The pick up had been arranged but not there on arrival so sent a whatsapp message. Replied and gave directions as to where they would pick me up and they found me. To use the airport wifi, I would recommend going to the info desk in arrivals (where drivers have name cards) and use the QR scan at the desk as didnt need passport info etc as required for other wifi. Just be aware that when you walk outside for pick up you loose it.. and the poor driver couldnt contact me. Room was big as was the bathroom which looked great. Small TV compared to room but wifi was excellent so just streamed!! It was so big it probably could take a couple of comfy chairs. Breakfast was excellent and quick and I had dinner there as well which was once again excellent quick and reasonably priced. Try the Chicken fried rice! Really impressed with the return back to the airport at 0130 in the morning as they had a breakfast bag for me which I wasnt expecting. Nice touch from this small hotel!
