Camelot Beach Hotel

“This is my 2nd visit to the Camelot Beach Hotel.The location is wonderful & the rooms are clean as always.Safety is best assured with many safety measures.The staff is very friendly. Food is good. I highly recommend the hotel for anybody who is planning to stay in Negombo.”

“This was my first stay in a hotel since the Coronavirus outbreak and I was hugely impressed by the measures taken by Camelot Beach to protect guests. On arrival you are met outside and have your temperature and travel history checked before you are allowed into the lobby. You walk through a disinfecting mat to clean your shoes and your bags are sprayed. On arrival at your room only the guest is allowed inside - once the room has been cleaned and disinfected it is sealed off until occupied. I checked my room thoroughly and it was spotless. The same cleanliness was apparent in the restaurant. Floor, tables and chairs were clean and shiny. You order your food individually and it is brought to your table (it’s hard to maintain hygiene at a buffet). I felt totally safe within the confines of the hotel which, by the way, has 2 pools and a beautiful garden area. It would be quite feasible for British holidaymakers to fly to Bandaranaike airport (only 20 minutes from Camelot), spend 5 - 10 days sunbathing and relaxing at the hotel and return home - effectively enjoying an “air bridge” holiday to a low-risk destination (Sri Lanka has only had a couple of thousand virus cases). That could be the way long haul travel will develop in the new normal. Needless to say you would be welcomed with open arms since the Sri Lankans are desperate to get tourism up and running again. Camelot has remained open while many others have temporarily closed and it deserves to pick up a bigger share of bookings. It’s a nice property with friendly staff, good food and comfortable facilities.”

“Good location, by the beach, nice pool, centrally located for shopping and restaurants.”

“We wanted to spend the last night close to the airport before we were flying back home so we found this place. We loved that this place had two pools, it was nice to take a swim in a pool after a month in only salt water. We booked a room in 'the old part' of the hotel but it was still good. Good breakfast buffé and friendly staff, however the service in the poolbar was a bit slow. It has a nice location by the beach, we only spent time by the pool tho' so not sure how it is for swimming in the ocean. Good walking distance to other restaurants. PS. The mojitos are a must to try in the pool bar :-)”

“The pools were beautiful. There was plenty of staff around the pool area that would set up lounge chairs, give out cool washers, clean sunglasses & bar staff.”
