I've stayed at many nice hotels in my life, and I have to say that the service at Uga Riva Negombo was perhaps the best I have ever experienced, even for properties of this caliber. They really went above and beyond to personalize my stay -- setting up a gorgeous little poolside table for my dinner, arranging transportation, giving me a tour of the property and its fascinating history, etc. Food was excellent. Property is beautiful. And, as a bonus, it's quite convenient to the airport. Highly recommend!

Located 4 km from Negombo Beach Park in Negombo, Waterland has 5 air-conditioned villas, each with an infinity-edge plunge pool. Guests benefit from flat-screen TVs with satellite channels is provided.

We had three different rooms/villas which were all very beautifully decorated and clean. The private pools were a lovely addition and we enjoyed being a little bit away from the centre; half an hour on foot or a quick tuk tuk ride.

    Uga Riva is exquisite. A beautifully presented immaculate Sri Lankan boutique hotel with luxurious rooms, wonderful pool and beautiful gardens. Food is prepared to order by the chef and is delicious. The whole team working at the hotel made our stay the best we’ve had in our two trips to Sri Lanka. If you’re arriving at Colombo international airport and need a local stay please book in here (less than half an hour by taxi) but be warned- you may not want to leave….

    It's a 10 on 10 property. Host is such a amazing human being. Breakfast is such wide spread. I was even offered little snack when I was waiting for couple of hours after check out.Rooms are of 5 star range. I stayed one night before leaving Srilanka. I wish I could stay longer. This is a place to stay if you are in Negombo.
