Angel Inn
GUESTHOUSE
This is one of the most inviting cheap guesthouses in Negombo. Its seven rooms (with
more under construction) might not have beach views, but in every other way it's truly ex-
cellent value with flawlessly clean and shiny rooms set around a small garden.
Blue Water Boutique Hotel
HOTEL
Very new at the time of research, this place, if it keeps its prices low and its standards up,
has the potential to be one of the better deals in Negombo. The spacious rooms are all
sleek minimalism and guests can use the pool of the neighbouring Paradise Beach Hotel.
Breakfast is served on the sun-blasted roof terrace.
The Pearl
GUESTHOUSE
This small beachfront pad might be discreet, but it packs enough flair and comfort to glad-
den the heart of any weary traveller. The six immaculate rooms are full of cheeky modern
art and are well maintained. If you're into watersports it's a good bet as it's the home base
of well-regarded diving and kitesurfing outfits.

RESORT
US$360/380; )
With its imposing entrance and echoey corridors, this place feels like a temple - a temple
to minimalist luxury, that is. The rooms are close to perfect and the bathrooms, with walk-
in showers and circular baths, actually are perfect. There's an impressive pool complex
(which is a hit with children) that's lit up at night by flaming torches.
There's even an in-house naturalist who will happily answer all of your birds-and-bees
questions.
