Beacon Beach Hotel

This was the most terrible stay. The hotel was dilapidated, and did not look safe. There were holes in the walls, construction was going on, and the bathroom was not clean. Our balcony looked over a green murky pool in the adjacent property with mosquitoes on our balcony. We did not want to sleep in the bed and slept in our clothes and did not sleep well as the power went out at least 20 times during the night. No air or electricity . We checked out the next morning ( we were supposed to stay 2 nights). The staff were friendly and obviously not their fault. Not sure if the hotel is under renovations but do not think our rooms should be inhabited at this time.

Check-in was smooth and the location is convenient, but my main issue was the overall condition of the property. The photos online don’t reflect the current state very accurately. During my stay there was construction work underway, including installation of a second lift, which made the shared areas dusty and the environment noticeably noisy. The restaurant also felt quite dated and looked neglected. The room itself also needed attention. The general upkeep felt tired and outdated, with paint marks, visible nails left in the walls where pictures were missing, and water stains on the walls. Even small details were overlooked—there were empty information folders with no useful content, and the telephone in the room wasn’t working. While it’s not directly the hotel’s fault, the adjoining premises appeared abandoned, and the pool there had stagnant water and a strong, unpleasant smell. Unfortunately, the odor made it uncomfortable to stay in the room at times, and the view of the pool with putrid water was very unpleasant. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful, and dinner was ok.

Beacon beach resort is very clean, rooms cleaned everyday, restaurant spotless and good food . The staff was so helpful .Its on the beach, town is about five mins in tuk tuk cheap . would book to stay their again

The beacon beach hotel is on the beach so you walk pass the pool and your on the beach. The room was clean every day . Staff always on hand to help . The breakfast was value for money . You can get a tuk tuk into negombo town centre for about two pounds its cheap to eat out and very good.i would go back again

This a great property right on the beach & not far from the airport so perfect for us after our delayed flight arrival at 1am. The beach is quite strewn with rubbish so probably not a great spot for a long stay but the hotel pool & surrounds are very pleasant and the breakfast area on the top floor has magnificent views. The sheets & towels are a bit old & rooms probably need a bit of refreshing but this is by no means a 5 star hotel, So overall very good value for money.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, they couldn’t find our booking for a while. WiFi poor.

We arrived straight from the airport at around 3.30am the hotel was in darkness and completely closed. The street also in complete darkness, no cars, people but lots of dogs everywhere, we love dogs but felt very uncomfortable and not safe. We shouted hello numerous times to see if security or someone was around. We also tried to call but call wasn’t going through. We actually thought we’d been scammed! We waited around for over an hour looking for transport and alternative accommodation. We made one final attempt to get a response by shouting very loudly through a gap in the doorway and finally lights went on and a porter opened the doors, a member of staff eventually came down from bed to check us in, this took around 30 mins and we finally made it to our rooms. The following morning the key snapped in the lock and we left it with reception on return to the hotel no one knew anything about our key and there didn’t appear to be any comms between staff and we spent a further 30 mins waiting to get in our room! You can walk into the beach from the rear of the hotel, we liked listening to the waves but the beach is very dirty full of plastic that has been swept into little pile but then left there! We wouldn’t stay here again.

It was a quiet place and friendly staffs. Room was good seaview and clean. Breakfast was good with top view.

Lot loud music just outside the hotel on the front off the building

Great location. Right on beach. Small but nice pool area

The view was amazing! The location right on the beach is perfect but it’s showing its age. The staf were fine, not overly friendly but not at all rude.

Well run and very welcoming hotel. Staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. On quieter end of beach and close to lots of very good restaurants. Would certain!y return and have no problem recommending. Rooms are perfectly nice with AC, tv and tea/coffee facilities and wifi. Bathrooms are modern and toiletries are provided. Request seaview room and if a priority, rooms above 3rd floor will give best views as palm trees restrict the view a little bit.

Reception, room and breakfast service excellent. Poolside service good. Breakfast food good and plenty of choice. Location so convenient for beach and local restaurants and bars. Sea view room superb. Room size, comfort and room facilitiez excellent. Maintenance service for a couple of minor issues on arrival superb. All round I would stay again and recommend without hesitation.

Stay was pleasant but yoo shortyo ecperience all the amenities.

Very nice and clean rooms but we booked sea view and on the second floor only saw palm trees. The deck chairs at the beach are old and some are rusty and falling apart. Pillows are too thin to be comfortable. Breakfast was really good and served fast. When we were there the owner of the hotel celebrated her birthday with 100 people at the beach, so the beach area was pretty much closed during the afternoon of preparations and it was difficult to sleep because of the music until 2am. As such this would not have been a problem but there was no proper information for the hotel guests and no compensation for the lack of comfort and sleep before and during the party.

so much noise outside we didnt sleep all night. beds were very uncomfortable.

very nice hotel with friendly staff..but cleanliness can be improved specially walls..

Excellent place with a really good staff and well maintained service. Highly recommended for any type of a visitor.

The view was amazing, staff was very friendly. Nice swimming pool. The bathroom was a little disappointed
