On y a passé 10 jours. On a pu se reposer. L’hôtel se situe à quelques mètres de la plage, où on peut y voir des magnifiques coucher de soleil le soir. Le personnel de l’hôtel est juste super super gentil. Il y a une cuisine que l’on peut utiliser, mais aussi une machine à laver dont on peut se servir. Allez-y les yeux fermés, vous ne regretterez rien. ##### Jérémie Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Colombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Hilton-Colombo.h181855.Hotel-Information) > > [Marino Beach Colombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Marino-Beach-Colombo.h29961010.Hotel-Information) > > [Colombo Court Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Colombo-Court-Hotel-Spa.h5535110.Hotel-Information) > > [Granbell Hotel Colombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Granbell-Hotel-Colombo.h76370717.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Colombo Seven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Jetwing-Colombo-Seven.h15812609.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Whitby Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Harbour-Hotels.0-l553248621556282415-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cinnamon Grand Colombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Cinnamon-Grand-Colombo.h916269.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandarina Colombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Mandarina-Colombo.h17399512.Hotel-Information) > > [Galle Face Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Galle-Face-Hotel.h11080678.Hotel-Information) > > [Willerby aspen Caravan - New for 2019](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fleetwood-Hotels-Willerby-Aspen-Caravan-New-For-2019.h33685774.Hotel-Information) > > [OMO3 Tokyo Akasaka by Hoshino Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-OMO3-Tokyo-Akasaka-By-Hoshino-Resorts.h77056499.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Red Colombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Cinnamon-Red-Colombo.h8796833.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kingsbury Colombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-The-Kingsbury-Colombo.h19910.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Cinnamon-Lakeside-Colombo.h2281.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Colombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Shangri-La-Colombo.h19414242.Hotel-Information) > > [Picton House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carmarthen-Hotels-Picton-House-Hotel.h26779818.Hotel-Information) > > [Magic Village Views Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Magic-Village-Views-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h36882728.Hotel-Information) > > [Galadari Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Galadari-Hotel.h1680445.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Lincoln](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d4678-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Cappuccino - Palma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palma-De-Mallorca-Hotels-Hotel-Cappuccino-Palma.h17224649.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scotland-Cabins.d11219-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Colombo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colombo-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Colombo.h91017278.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Doha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Doha-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d1048-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [flights from heathrow airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/lhr/flights-from-heathrow-airport) > > [Emirates](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Emirates-Flights.cEK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [flights from al massira airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/aga/flights-from-al-massira-airport) ### Activities > [Things to do in Benidorm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Benidorm.d181363.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Whitstable Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitstable-Harbour-Whitstable.d6280319.Attraction)
