The 55-room Jetwing Lagoon is an eco-friendly, upscale property with a stunning location between the Negombo Lagoon and Indian Ocean. However, the beach isn't a true beach and swimming is prohibited. Fortunately, there are two outdoor pools -- one by the ocean and another that's stunningly long in the middle of the property. The contemporary rooms are lovely, outfitted with all the expected trappings, as well as bathrooms with deep tubs and separate showers. Quality dining includes a buffet restaurant and a la carte eatery, plus there are three bars, an Ayurveda spa, and water sports. It's worth noting that some areas are showing a bit of age and occasionally airplanes can be heard. It's easily one of the top options in Negombo, but those looking to be closer to town may prefer Jetwing Beach.
