Christima Residence

I travelled with my husband from Uk to meet his son who lives in New Zealand in Sri Lanka as a half way point. We had a two bedroom apartment for 8 days, which was very spacious and clean. Both rooms had mosquito nets over the bed and very efficient air- conditioning in the entire apartment. There was a very large en-suite bathroom to each room. It had everything you would need for a self catering holiday ,although we ate out . Chams and all his staff were very welcoming and helpful. We were able to arrange some amazing day trips through Chams. As our time in Sri Lanka was relatively short, one of the drivers, Dylan took us to places like Pinnwala elephant orphanage,Kandy on one day and Dambulla and Sigiriya a second day for a reasonable fee and stayed with us all day. This is an alternative to catching the train or bus. There was breakfast every morning of fresh fruit, tea , coffee, egg and sausage, toast and marmalade etc; The pool was very clean and we often had it to ourselves. Christima Residence is very close to many restaurants, bars and shops. Tuk, tuks are plentiful and easy to catch and are an ideal way to go a little further out. I would highly recommend Christima Residence as a place to stay, either for a few days as a stopover for touring the island or longer.

We decided on Christima residence for our first night in Sri Lanka as a base. After our 3 week backpacking we decided to return for our last night too. The staff are super friendly with great tips and ideas. The rooms are a great size with very comfortable beds. The bathroom was one of the cleanest and modern during our stay. To top it off the pool was very clean and perfect after a day's trip. The location is perfect for the beach and there is a fantastic Italian restaurant just 100metres down the street. All in all I would highly recommend Christima residence to anyone staying in Negombo.

A great cozy place to spend a quiet holiday in Negombo, near to the beach, nearby restaurants, convenient stores and most importantly the home atmosphere and the friendly staff at Christima Residence. Chamara and his team ensures that the comfort and the service he provides is at its best at all times. It has a beauftully maintained garden, a great mid sized pool, tasty food and refreshing juices to offer. It has great options for rooms and 2 bedroom apartments. I would recommend this place to everyone who is looking for comfort, cleanliness, worth for your money and friendly service with a smile. Thanks to Chamara for making our stay a memorable one.

I stayed at Christima Residence for 9 days and really enjoyed my time there. The pool and garden area is super nice to chill out and the rooms are clean and have everything you need. The owner, Charmara, is really helpful and always available if you have any questions and the ladies that work there are lovely too! If you’re in need of a good feed; I definitely recommend a short walk down the road to Paloma Restaurant. Thanks Charms, will see you again soon 😊

Thanks you so much for your place The owner is very responsive person, we liked everything in the hotel Great location, there are cute and delicious cafes nearby within walking distance if we go back to Negombo, we will definitely come back

Great place to stay! It’s centrally located in the beach area and yet tranquil. Good rooms, clean, good shower, great pool. Very friendly host who speaks fluent English and very helpful. Perfect for the days when you arrive and before you leave back home again (and in between).
