Marino Beach Colombo

*Marino Beach Hotel – Colombo (Lunch Buffet)* Visited Marino Beach Hotel over the weekend for their lunch buffet, and it was a pleasant experience overall. The place is *well-arranged*, spacious, and offers a *beautiful beach view*, which adds a relaxing touch to the dining atmosphere. The *food was good*, with a decent variety of dishes that were well-prepared and nicely presented. From mains to desserts, everything was satisfying — not overly extravagant, but definitely enjoyable. If you're looking for a nice spot in Colombo to enjoy a laid-back buffet with a great view, I’d definitely recommend giving Marino Beach a try. It’s worth the visit, especially on a weekend.

We booked this place just a few days before in low season so we got a pretty good price. Bed is super comfy. The pool is of course the main attraction and is fantastic. Breakfast buffet was fine, I'd say 4/5. The location is good, but honestly this hotel was the best part of our stay in Colombo. There really isn't much to do here. Recover from your flight and move on.

One of the coolest infinity pool ever! Spacious room with all the essential amenities, room was clean and nice with spacious bath tub. Staff were supportive and friendly from the reception to restaurant. Good food and the variety of food was average. Well maintained pool area with cosy and greenery environment. The taste of the cocktails and the presentation could be improved. Overall the hotel was well managed and will definitely visit again!

I would like to share my recent experience at your hotel, which unfortunately did not meet the expected hospitality standards. Since I'm here for my vacation My intention was to arrange a surprise cake for my sister to celebrate her significant achievement in her businesses. Since we were accompanying her to the hotel, I was unable to purchase a cake beforehand. When I initially approached your front desk (I am unsure if she was a receptionist or assistant), I requested assistance in arranging this. However, her approach was disappointing and unacceptable for the hospitality industry. Firstly, she informed us that the buffet starts at 7 PM and that we would not have access to the restaurant before then. When my sister asked if we could wait in the pool area, we were also denied access. As a result, we decided to leave temporarily and visit Marina Mall. Upon returning, I once again asked the same staff about arranging a cake with a congratulatory message. This time, she told me that if I bought a cake from Marina Mall, they could help with the wording.i would answer her at the same time for that,since it was a big day for us I don't wanted to spoil our moment. As someone who working as a Training Coordinator and Internal Auditor in the hospitality industry abroad, I strongly recommend further training for your team, especially in guest handling and anticipating guest needs. Simple gestures, like assisting with a cake arrangement, make a big difference in creating memorable experiences. Fortunately, I later approached the restaurant staff, for the same request and who offered to provide a cake for LKR 2,500. The cost was not an issue for me, and while I was expecting a more generous portion for the price, we were offered by slice of cake. However I truly appreciate their effort. Most importantly, my sister was pleasantly surprised, which salvaged the occasion. However, I urge the management to focus on better staff training and food quality

A large and very busy hotel, reportedly running at around 80% occupancy — and it definitely feels like it. The room was spacious, but unfortunately, we had a water leak from the AC that started during the night, which disrupted our sleep. The open buffet restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, but unfortunately, quantity seemed to take priority over quality — the meat was chewy, and some ingredients tasted quite cheap. The bar menu listed several drinks that were not available, which was disappointing. The rooftop pool has a great concept, but the view is currently blocked by a large construction site, taking away from the relaxing vibe. On a positive note, the staff were genuinely helpful and hospitable throughout our stay, which made a big difference.

Went for weekend high tea buffet last year.. was a delightful experience. The buffet had a variety of food, savory items, sandwiches, deserts, hot and cold beverages.. it was worth the price. Place was spacious and arrangements were nice. Liked the atmosphere. There was a band played and it was really cool and the vibe was good. Good to celebrate a birthday even.. Overall nice experienc🙂

Had an amazing weekend stay at The Marino Beach Hotel with my family! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed graciously. Everything was in top condition and all the amenities were well thought out. The food was excellent. Almost all the staff were friendly and attentive.

Excellent hotel with great staff and luxurious facilities. Most of the staff were absolutely amazing—professional, friendly, and attentive. The food was brilliant, and the facilities were truly luxurious. However, the receptionist at the front desk was quite rude and lacked basic service quality, which was disappointing. Aside from that, everything else was excellent. Highly recommend.
