Ayur Ayur Resort & Ayurveda Retreat

Staff: absolutely amazing. Everyone! From the gardener to the waiters to the receptionist, I can only speak highly of the team. We traveled with our baby and they just made us feel at home since the moment we arrived. Property: The design, how it respects the nature around it and blends in so well with its surroundings. Was beautiful to feel like we entered an oasis but at the same time felt close to everything.

This was our little luxury stay just before we flew back home. Nice boutique hotel with very nice rooms (with a view on the pool in our case). Breakfast were buffet style but eggs were prepared to your personal taste. The pool was very welcoming and the location, though not in the main drag of Negombo, it is totally walkable but we were lazy and used the service of their preferred Tuk-tuk driver who was charging low prices. What we liked the most were the spa services we used to get fabulous massages at very affordable prices. One of us even got a facial ! Some reviews mentioned the train but is only comes by a few times a day and did not cause any disturbance to us. We did not take any other meals than the included breakfast so we cannot comment on the restaurant. At the reception, Kevinda was just and angel and helped us with a perfect English and was always smiling. Kudos to him and the whole team at the hotel, it ended our trip perfectly.

From the moment the Hotel collected us from the Airport we felt totally relaxed and welcomed. Fresh juice on arrival during check in. We normally stay in 4+star hotels but here we wanted to experience true Sri Lankan hospitality We were not disappointed this is not a 5 star hotel but the staff are totally genuinely warm and welcoming worthy of 5 stars. We requested 2 private tours the hotel provided these and we felt we were royally treated. Not in a false corporate manner but in the manner you would treat a family friend. It would be wrong to highlight a specific member of staff this is an operation that shows how a team excels when they work together. A credit to Hotel Management.

We stayed for 5 nights and had a great time! The hotel manager Ruben and his team are exceptional, they make everything possible for you. We got picked up from the airport early in the morning, could directly change cash on the first day at the hotel, had an amazing dinner with lots of typical Sri Lanka dishes, got some nice massage treatments, got a driver organised for various trips and received a breakfast to go - even without asking for it - because of early departure. Also, the room was comfy and clean, with a great view to the little river, the towels and bed linen fresh and clean (which is not also the case in hotels here), good AC and hot a mosquito net provided. The location was great for us, just a few minutes to the beach (either walking 15min or talking a tuktuk 5min) and close to the airport. Negombo is a lovely place, not too touristy and a perfect start for exploring Sri Lanka.

Wonderful stay, highly recommended! We had an amazing time at this resort. The room was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. What truly made our stay special was the incredibly kind and attentive staff, they were always ready to help and often stopped by for a friendly chat, which made us feel very welcome. The massage service was excellent and very relaxing, definitely worth trying. The swimming pool was well-maintained and perfect for cooling off, and the on-site restaurant served delicious food in a great atmosphere.
