“Mooi hotel en prachtige kamer. Ligging aan de rand van een drukke straat met goede restaurants. In het Hotel met prachtige tuin en zwembad merk je niets van alle drukte. Personeel heel erg aardig en behulpzaam!! Heerlijk uitgebreid Sri lankaans ontbijt met heerlijk vers fruit. Na ons verblijf hier hebben we inmiddels alweer een aantal andere hotels bezocht maar tot nu toe nog niets dat beter was. Echt een aanrader!!”
Great staff and good location

“Our stay at the Dickman Resort in Negombo was simply wonderful. From the moment we arrived, this charming boutique hotel impressed us with its peaceful atmosphere, beautiful setting, and above all, top-notch service.
We want to give a special mention to the incredible staff: Thilina, Nishen, Pathum, Akila, Mahindra, and Jude. They took spectacular care of us throughout our stay. Their genuine kindness, constant attentiveness, and warmth made us feel truly pampered and right at home.
We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful facilities and the serene environment. We highly recommend Dickman Resort to anyone looking for an exceptional, high-quality experience in Negombo, and we would definitely return in a heartbeat.
Warmly,
Humberto & Rodolfo”

“Nous sommes descendus dans cet hôtel à notre arrivée au Sri Lanka. Excellent accueil et très bon petit déjeuner le lendemain matin. Nous ne sommes restés qu’une nuit mais avons choisi d’y retourner la veille de notre retour en France. Le personnel s’est souvenu de nous et a été encore plus au petit soin. N’hésitez pas une seule seconde !”
Parfaite détente dans un environnement exceptionnel.

“Als je een 11 zou kunnen geven dan verdient dit team en dit hotel dat. ❤️ het is geen 4 sterren maar meer dan 5 sterren!
Wat een fantastische vibe stap je in als je hier te gast bent.
Kleurrijke omgeving, mooie tuin met veel planten en zitjes, schildpadden en vissen, prachtig zwembad met natuurwater, mooie muziek klinkt door het hotel en zo gewenst ook in je kamer. Je komt hier volledig tot rust.
Adults only is ook voor hier fijn.
Heerlijk ontbijt met heel veel fruit
Heerlijke zwembadbedden met 2 handdoeken bij
Ruime kamer met groot bed. Fijne matrassen en kussens. De kamer geurt heerlijk, er staan verse ! Bloemen en een bordje fruit als welkom. Grote badkamer met zeer goede douche en fijn geurende shampoos.
Alle kamers hebben hun eigen kleur en alles op de kamer is in detail doorgewerkt in deze kleur Zo mooi.
De gastvrijheid van het team is zo overweldigend en lief
De eigenaar is al ruim 20 jaar een Nederlander daardoor heeft het hotel ook meer een Europese standaard dan een Sri Lankese standaard, maar de lieve heren die hier werken maken het verblijf echt compleet. Je wordt volledig in de watten gelegd.
Wij hadden de Aqua room aan het zwembad. Maar eigenlijk zijn alle kamers mooi.
Een geweldig verblijf om 3 weken Sri Lanka mee af te sluiten. Wij zaten hier 3 nachten!”
Voor herhaling vatbaar!

“We loved our stay at Dickman Resort! The staff were so friendly and attentive. The resort and grounds are lovely, the pool was great! The room was clean, spacious and quiet, with a large bathroom. The breakfast was exceptional and there was the option to have a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast which we would highly recommend. The resort is a short walk to the Main Street and the beach, but feels very private. We would definitely stay again!”

“An Oasis away from the crowds. Tucked away down a side street it is a haven for peace & quiet. The pool is great for lap swimming & pool service was a delight. The staff were amazing always catering to our needs. It’s a lovely place to stay.”
