알베르고 테르메 산 로렌초

We think that the hotel is not bad, but not great either. First thing to note is the hotel’s location is quite far (20min) from main terminal, BUT has a bus stop right in front. Secondly, hotel is already very old, and guests mainly are older gentlemen and ladies. Pool facilities which were advertised as 38C were mostly 30-36 at best. The hot tub hard carried our stay. Since the island is quite expensive in general now, a visit to this place do give it some thought.

Vista panaromica, centro termale con acque salubri, anche all'aperto e anche in inverno. Gentilezza e disponibilità di tutti con particolare riferimento ai Direttori di sala, dei veri professionisti galantuomini. Un particolare riconoscimento merita la Signora Annamaria della Spa che con gentilezza e rara professionalità ,nell'arco tre giorni, grazie ai suoi trattamenti, mi ha rimesso al mondo. In generale

Ottimo il ristorante sia come servizio che come qualità ed esperienza, valida e professionale la reception. Attenzione alla SPA, personale improvvisato e poco professionale, massaggiatrici improvvisate, accoglienza con sigaretta in mano e chattano su wa durante il massaggio, ridicoli. Improvvisazione totale !

This place is a bit of a contradiction. Whilst aspiring to be high-end with its 6 pools and thermal springs, it is in fact really dated and seems stuck in time. The management appears to have no interest in dragging this place into the 21st century. Everything is in need of updating and renovating, the pool areas, rooms, common areas, breakfast. Disappointing for a place that has so much potential and would have been fantastic in its hey day of the 1980s. We did not make use of the many pools as common areas were not comfortable, especially the indoor pool which had broken floors and was poorly lit. Our room was ok and we spent time enjoying the balcony. The bathroom seems to have been updated in recent years and was clean and functioning, however the shower was very small. Upon arrival we were given a very long letter with information, however this letter managed to provide us with little information at all. We got to know dinner timings yes, but the menu or where the dinner actually was? No. Had they offered a half/full Board package, we might have gone for that. Information such as spa treatments, tours, local things to do, foods, shuttle into town was not included. I did notice a stand at reception with some pamphlets in it, this was the extent of their efforts. Does this hotel even have spa treatments? I have no clue. We did not enjoy breakfast as the spread was basic and had little to offer us. It did not show off the regions rich food culture. We instead bought our own food from the local supermarket and enjoyed that. The manager, Camilo, is a lovely man and I do hope they have some ideas for bringing this place up to date in the near future. It does seem, like other reviews have suggested, as a place for older (eg 70+ Italians) to come and retire.

I've picked this hotel because it is literally 10min walk to Negombo and it has several pools with warm sea water & thermal water. We've booked a Seaview room which had a truly amazing view and at that moment it was all I needed to rest my mind. The room itself isn't very big, but enough to accommodate two people. The shower room is pretty big, tiles slightly cracked in some places, shower isn't the most modern one, but does its job well. We didn't have any troubles with pressure or lack of hot water during our stay. I think the biggest inconvenience was that AC in the room didn't work properly, it didn't change the temperature to lower. It was very hot in the night, so we slept like in a sauna and woke up with headache every day. Opening a balcony is not a great idea, because mosquitoes are vicious, and anyway it was about 35 degrees at night. Breakfast was average, nothing special for northern European standards, but definitely very good for Italy. Italians normally eat only sweets for breakfast. They served about 10 types of cakes and croissants. They did serve some scrambled eggs, bacon, cold cuts, plain salad leaves with tomatoes, which was nothing special, but edible. For me the best part of breakfast was the watermelon. Cappuccino was tasty too. During the day we ordered some cocktails at the pool bar which were served with small complimentary snacks. The variety of pools with warm water was great. Overall very good experience, we would stay again.
