Misleading photos. Our room was a double, arrived to a twin. Dirty, dated facilities with a sewage smell in the bathroom. View from first floor room overlooks dirty rooftops. Restaurant ok but dirty old plastic wind shields line the edges. Beach full of ants and local pedlars continuously trying to sell, hotel do nothing to prevent this or move them on, unable to leave anything on the beach to go swimming for example because of this. Too few pool loungers for the number of staff and the usual towels on beds by 6am despite no one coming to use them until 10-11am and hotel do nothing to prevent and in fact put towels out for them. Very little in the local area to do. Hotel will try to rip you off for arranging taxis to the airport, wanted $30 for 25 minute trip, tuk tuk at the roadside took us for $4. Pool staff good and attentive. Would miss Negombo altogether on your itinerary.

good hotel for a short stay
This was our first hotel on arriving in Sri Lanka for a 3 week tour. Rooms on ground floor overlooking the pool were ok but i don't think I'd want to satya in the main block of rooms given their location. No lifts. The room, as with most hotel rooms in Sri Lanka, was showing signs of being affected by the humidity and looked a bit worn and had a damp smell about them. Unfortunately there was a drain smell in the bathroom which although not really bad was a bit off putting. The buffet breakfast was good and we ate three times in the hotel dining room over our 5 night stay, the food was very very varied and good. There is direct access to the beach from the hotels and although there were lots of beach hawkers they did not encroach onto the hotel property. Unfortunately when we visited in Nov 2018 there was a lot of building work going on as they are extending the hotel and this was right next to our block. We were not told about this before we arrived. One day the building work went on for a full 24hr period, right through the night. When we complained the next day they said they had to work through the night as there was a load of concrete coming the next day and they had to have everything ready for it!!!! The staff were OK and surprising got more friendly the day before we left!

A good value mid level choice in Negombo
Goldi Sands is a good to very good hotel on the beach in Negombo. Facilities are functional and clean. Staff are very helpful. It’s not a flashy place but then again it’s well priced. We stayed in one ground level room which was a bit dark and tired, and in a top story room (200 #s) that was brighter and had ocean views which we much preferred. Food was fair to good not great. Nice pool. Beach sellers and debris can be annoying enough to keep one off the beach. Negombo itself is unattractive but does have some shopping and some good food eg. Cilantro.

Hotel location good . Breakfast good . Rooms good apart from showers poor as Luke warm to cold water . Contacted reception was told maintenance would come nobody came. I think it was a common thing to have cool water . If an unusual problem this would of been dealt with or alternative room offered but nothing . This spoilt our first experience of Sri Lanka as we had just arrived. So wouldn’t stay again.

Nice hotel and lovely staff our room wasn't great
Staff was great, lovely food, nice pool and beach. But our room wasn't the best for the price paid. A/C was not working and the sink was clogged. ( But we did not inform the hotel regarding these issues as we stayed only for a night). They kindly extended our checkout time by an hour.

Nice hotel BUT
The hotel is well situated on the beach with a nice pool but spoilt by too many wedding parties taking over the facilities with the obvious noise issues. Food mediocre and often cold. Bathroom smelly..cold showers. No entertainment facilities at all.constant hawkers on the beach. No peaceful holiday.

Staying at Goldi Sands
My sister and I enjoyed 2 stays over a 2-week period of a few days each. We found Goldi Sands to be a very friendly comfortable place with good food and lovely position. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. We should certainly stay again if we return to Negombo

Beach view and good buffet
Overall a good short stay. Rooms are a small but comfortable. The bathrooms need a good clean or even tiles need to be replaced as they are mouldy on parts. It was nice having the balcony for a beach view but the crows were a nightmare. They do not stop crowing. Really annoying, you can't relax. This isn't the hotels fault, they are everywhere in Negambo. Buffet breakfast was nice and lots of choice. Very fresh. We also had the buffet Sri Lankan dinner here. It was YUM! Gotta say the food here is very good compared to other hotels we stayed in over the 23 days in Sri Lanka. Bar staff are not great. They can't make a cocktail on their life and assume they can keep the change as their tip. Other staff are friendly and welcoming. Communal areas are tired. The seating could do with re-upholstery as it is stained. With a little improvement the hotel could be great.

Great Location but very busy.
We have stayed in this hotel several times and it is in a great spot on the beach. We booked through a website this time as the hotel pricing was quite expensive & they could not match the price I had been given. The room was a bit disappointing as it was a fair distance from the lift & upstairs but overall the hotel is quite good due to the location & the breakfast is pretty good as well.

Pleasant for the price.
Goldi Sands hotel is on a lovely beach, has a great pool, friendly staff and nice buffet. But when you book make sure you ask for a quiet room otherwise you could end up on one on a busy road which is awful.
