Trincomalee hotels

Pros: The owner of the hotel was nice..He arranged for us the kind of food we wanted and we didn't need to wander anywhere else for our meal requirements.. The hotel was just bang on beach side and u can see the beach from ur room and can also get a complete view from the terrace above. The room was neat and clean and bathroom was clean and spacious. Overall worth stay at this hotel.. Recommended..!!

Pros: Such lovely accommodation, comfortable beds, choice of western or Sri Lankan breakfasts, helpful and friendly owners, great wifi too.

Cons: It was a little bit far to walk to Uppuveli but only a 5min tuk tuk ride

Pros: Very clean and specious room with big bathroom. You can get free towels and sunbeds for a day on a beach which is very close to the hostel. Very nice and helpful staff. We really enjoyed our stay there. Greetings from Poland!

Pros: Great distance from Trincomalee. Staff friendly and informative. Room just as in the photos.

Pros: Great location right next to the beach. Rooms and bathroom were clean. Very helpful owner with insight knowledge of the area.

Pros: Friendly host with good service: - Good breakfast - Optional lunch and dinner - Clean rooms as depicted on the pictures - Helps to organize small Trips in Trincomalee - Host speaks good English and German - Good Location of the guest house next to the beach. 5 min by tuktuk to a very good beach as well

Pros: Good, super clean place. Very comfortable room and clean washrooms. dinner and breakfast was served by them it was very delicious. Y’all you try their cuttlefish dish

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Everything! The price, the hospitality, the location, the food. The owner Prabha helped us with everything we needed or wanted. We requested for local flavoured breakfast and lunch and were treated to an absolute feast. He also hooked us up with a great deal for dolphin watching. Unbelievable how many dolphins we were able to see! Thanks to Prabha and his staffs for the 5 star service :)

Cons: Nothing whatsoever

Pros: Friendly hosts. The property is very close to the beach (not exactly on the beach). We loved meeting guests from different countries.

Cons: When we arrived, the hotel had no power. The power had been off all day. The hotel didn't have a backup generator. It was hot, so no power meant no A/C, lights in the room, power outlets to charge devices, etc. They told us it would be back on at 5p. The power came back eventually came back on at 6:30p. One of the criteria for booking this hotel was close to the beach and A/C. The owners did not offer any compensation to make up for not having A/C all day. The hotel is close to the beach. It has an obstructed view of the beach as there is another property directly on the beach in front of this hotel. In addition, I felt a bit unsafe because directly on the beach in front of our hotel was a temporary camp for migrating fisherman. They lived under a make shift shelter from April to October. It felt like homeless people were living next to us at the hotel. Nothing bad happened, it just left me with an unsafe feeling. The location is not very good for walking to places at night for dinner nearby. The host said we could walk out to the main road and head right about a 1km to find some restaurants. We did that, but didn't have much luck finding anything where we could sit down to eat. It was dark and walking along the main road with the traffic felt dangerous. I Note the hotel serves dinner with many seafood options. The menu was overpriced for Sri Lankan food. We knew we could get dinner for a 1/10 of the prices, so we ventured out at night. f I had an opportunity to do it again, I would have hired a three-wheel taxi to take us to a sit down restaurant. The bathroom heats up and is humid and sticky after showering. Then you open the door to the bedroom and all that heat escapes into the bedroom. The bathroom needs a better way to regulate the temperature of the water coming out of the shower and a way to let all that hot air escape to the outside without going into the bedroom.

Pros: The hospitality was outstanding! The host speaks German and English and does everything to make your stay in Trincomalee is as perfect as possible. He supports you with everything you plan and do. You should try his dinner as he is a great cook! The rooms are super clean, large and comfortable. For sure one of the best accommodations in Sri Lanka! A huge thanks and we‘d love to come back.

Cons: The beach nearby is not really clean - you should rent a scooter and drive to Nilaveli beach. Not a problem at all.

Pros: The staff is amazing. Territory of the hotel is beautiful. Ambience around is magic. The pool is so nice, great for photoshoots. It’s a pity that it’s only one pool there. Our room was clean, the service is fast and friendly. We ordered snorkeling through the hotel - it was great experience.

Cons: I expected that the territory of the hotel will be bigger (Photos on website gives such impression). Also, as per pictures, I thought that sand on the beach is white, actually it’s not. The food in the hotel is fine, but a-la cart Menu is quite short. The hotel has buffet on Fridays and it is amazing. The Gym definitely needs to be improved, I took my sportswear and changed my mind to use it.

Pros: Amazing staff, beach room, beach. Wonderful bbq on the beach too

Cons: The food at the restaurant was not great, especially the buffet food

Pros: The food was amazing! The beach is beautiful, clean and quiet, and the staff were beyond helpful and friendly.

Cons: We had a lagoon room but due to it be being the end of the dry season (August) there wasn't a lot of water and wasn't as pretty.

Pros: Excelent choice! The hotel is absolutely amazing to chill and have a great time at the beach. Very confortable, everything so beautiful, the staff was always so nice and and kind! Wonderful taste

Pros: - we stayed in the beach chalet which was stunningly decorated and very large. Super comfortable beds, very large bathrooms and a lovely sit out. We also had a private little walkway straight onto the beach - the private beach was super clean and peaceful and the water was clean blue and a wonderful temperature for taking a dip - the breakfast was one of the best I've ever had at a hotel in recent memory. The dinner at the beach was also unforgettable! Divine food and ambience - staff were extremely warm and made us feel very well taken care of - Bluetooth speaker provided in our room was a real plus!

Cons: - A little far from everything else in the area which means one has to largely remain in the hotel during the stay

Pros: The swimming pool and common areas were gorgeous. Beautifully designed integrating trees and vines.

Cons: The lagoon villas can hear and see the road

Pros: It was clean and cosy and relaxing. There was spend a lot of time in details around the resort.

Cons: Lagoon cabins are two stories and very noisy and you hear your neighbours walking and talking everywhere. The pictures on booking.com for the lagoon cabins are not the lower part of the cabins we had and we did feel a bit dissapointed. We also thought it was a private cabin like the others (beach and jungle cabins). The food is not that great compared to the very expensive price

Pros: Great hospitality Stunning location Well maintained Everything was perfect Will definitely return for a longer time stsy

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Amazing location, beautiful beach and amazing pool. Staff were very friendly and very helpful, we loved every second we were there!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Silaa Cabana was really great! Nothing bad to say.

Pros: I've stayed in these cabanas before in May 2019 and decided to return as i had a great experience the first time around. Great staff, great rooms, clean and friendly

Cons: There is nothing i didn't like, its a shame they are not closer to the beach

Pros: Very nice cabins with beach decoration. The owner was very nice and helpful. Very good breakfast. Really close to the beach and restaurants area.

Pros: Cute little cabana. Nice porch in front. Very clean. We could check-in even a few hours early. Warm showers. Pretty perimeters under the palm trees with nice lounge area.

Cons: The dogs ate the cover of the front seat of our tuktuk, luckily everything was quickly settled with the owner. We didn't try the food. Bed a bit hard.

Pros: - banana pancakes! - friendly owner - distance to the beach is great! - room was clean!

Cons: - nothing

Pros: The rooms were cool, perfect and comfortable! Good value for money. Nevil and the other staff were great and very helpful. We used their laundry and scooter services and he gave us a good price. Breakfast is great too. The place was quiet and very relaxing. They have hammocks and swing in the area. Great location! Very close to the beach and the main street

Pros: It was an amazing place. Chill location. Very close to food outlets as well. Had an amazing stay. Will come back again for sure!

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff and owner. A short walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants close by. Good wifi. The breakfast is also very nice.

Pros: Beautiful cabins with swing and hammock right outside. The rooms (we stayed in Happiness). Really well equipped with place to hang your clothes, drying line, good sized bathroom and even a hairdryer. The bed was big and so comfy. The couple who own the homestay take great pride in it and this really comes across. The place is beautifully kept and the breakfast at their little cafe was delicious. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the beach through the back streets which brings you right out by Fernandos bar which is the best place on the beach. Highly recommend to stay here in Uppuveli.

Cons: The only small negative is that you need to keep the curtains closed to have privacy while in the cabin as people walk right outside but it didn’t really bother us.

Pros: Breakfast is good. Next to the seaside. Extremely comfortable bed. Nice staff.

Cons: When we arrived electricity was off. Actually the blackout involved the whole city, but that was explained to us as if it was normal, with no apologies or trying to fix it. Room is quite small. Could have been cleaner. No free drinking water, tea, coffee etc. Rain made the whole ground in front of the room very muddy, it was almost impossible to get in. Overall it's not worth the money.

Pros: Clean room, hot water, free breakfast. staff really nice and helped a lot. wifi not so well but everything else perfect.

Pros: Close to the beach! Very nice place and able to use the kitchen

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very easy going, accommodating, and friendly hosts and extra friendly dogs. Close walk to the beach and a cheap but delicious food venue. 10 min walk from the bus station. Quiet and relaxing getaway.

Pros: Let me start with the host. Grace was an amazing person , she made the stay very easy and super friendly. She also has 3 amazing four legged co-hosts (Umi, Nec and Sasha:D) The property itself is a super location, the Durch bay beach was only a 100m away. Fort Hendricks and koneswaram temple was also only a 20min walk away. It was also very well maintained, clean washrooms, hallways and rooms Amazing stay overall, would definitely visit again!

Pros: This is a very good hostel that has everything you need and in a very good location! The dogs are so lovely, and Chari, the lovely young man who was covering for his manager while she is on holiday, made my stay in Trincomalee absolutely beautiful, he was very caring and made sure I have everything I ever needed and looked after the place in a very responsible way, they can be very happy to have a good friend like this :)

Cons: Absolutely nothing :)

Pros: It's a simple accomodation with all you basically needs. Grace is very friendly and helpful person. I had an fantastic chinese food experience at my stay;-)

Cons: We loved this GH because even though everything is simple is definetely made with taste and love. Both, the Chinese-Senhal couple that runs the place and their dogs spread positive vibes around the place and that's just what we needed at that moment in our trip, after an exhausting bus trip from Jaffna. We also liked the location, very close to the Dutch fort, the lovely Dutch bay beach with crystal water (literally 4 min from the GH by foot) and aldo to local and cheap restaurants and the fish market. The shared kitchen was definitely a plus for us since we could buy stuff in the market and prepare nice dinner at the hotel. We really felt like at home. Thank you so much guys!

Pros: The Personal was very friendly and kind. Good situation in trincomalee near the beach and bus station

Cons: Furniture in general and the bed

Pros: Located in a good place , Every thing is near to the hotel , Swimming pool & and the beer is no words. Very friendly staffs

Pros: The personnel of working are beautifull and helpfull. Really good welcome! Its Clean, you have kitchen free , table Available and relax place .good localization

Cons: All was good! We recommand this hostel for couple and friend

Pros: Staff so friendly Well located close by the beach Only 3 beds in the dormitory All the welcoming pack in the room (soap, towels) Kitchen to cook if you want Drink available on the fridge (on charge but no need to go and buy some)

Cons: Maybe one more fan in the room would be perfect

Cons: The hostel itself Is really nice: comfortable rooms, free kitchen, nice garden, perfect location (beach front, close to Fernando). The problem Is the owner: so rude,mad and aggressive. He kicked me and other 3 guys out of the hostel under the Rain insulting us because apparently we did something wrong (a guy Who was checkin out asked for having a shower coming back from diving to the owner, he said yes and he took It in my room with my permission. When the owner started to attack us for that we immediately apologized because we didn t realise It was wrong, but he was shouting more and more and becoming more aggressive, attacking Also 2 other guys Who Just asked to calm down. He insulted us 4 in a unbelievable way and kicked us out under the rain going on shouting at us really bad words. It was Just shocking.

Pros: Trincomalee was our last stop before leaving Srí Lanka and it was absolutely amazing! Lobster has everything what you need! Clean room, clean bathroom and toilet, calm outside seating with view to the lovely garden (you can use hamacs and relax there :))! There is also fully equipped kitchen. And the beach is just ONE MINUTE walk from this place! You can buy there beer/water, so it's very comfotable! Strong wifi! A/C! And beautiful snorkeling in Pigeon Island! And finally the best owner and personnel! <3 Always smiling face and ready to help you! It is above reproach! :))

Pros: Great place. You got your own terrace, since the rooms are actually little bungalows attached to each other. Peaceful at night and close to most restaurants and bars. 1min walk to the beach. Owner acted responsibly and after a couple of warnings he kicked my roommate out since she was letting a man in our room - Female dormitory room. He's very responsible and always ready to help.

Pros: Spacious room Very nice garden Kitchen and fridge you can use Location: 5 steps from the beach and close to restaurants and supermarket. Owner is a painter and made beautiful art in the rooms

Cons: Very limited use of wifi No breakfast options

Pros: The staff were really accommodating, they were very fair and kind. They helped us with recommendations and sorting out trips. It’s the closest hostel to the beach and really great price. One of the best places we have stayed for price and location. It was so good we stayed extra days.

Pros: Cozy, clean, simple, hospitable host, has everything you need.

Cons: A naval ship was in port and the hotel allowed at least a hundred marines to day use the facilities Although they were polite and pleasant individually they over ran the hotel and made it noisy and uncomfortable for several days

Pros: Great location. Wonderful beach

Pros: Dinner buffet and breakfast buffer was amazing!! They also had friendly street dogs who hung around which was nice.

Pros: Staff and location

Cons: Lot of plastic bottles left in the beach

Pros: all is very good i'll like it all

Cons: nothing

Pros: Amazing location Beach property Food was first class Clean best location, large pool private beach Open fish pond Relaxed environment They upgraded our rooms <3 Thank you cinnamon blue

Cons: Stary dogs since it is a open property no walls covering access, take this positively since hotel does not chase away or harm any of these innocent fellows. + Kind and animal friendly hotel crew

Pros: Located in a beautiful location next to the beach. Our room was upgraded to beach view one. Friendly staff. Good place to relax

Pros: Great and friendly staff. Great location. Private beach was perfect.

Cons: Food was not the greatest.

Pros: Comfortable rooms and chairs, nicely laid out.

Cons: Restaurant service wasn't great, limited menu and inattentive staff. Some of the food wasn't particularly good, and the pricing was abnormally high for the area.

Pros: The view of the lake was spectacular. Nice to take a break from beach front saying that it was a 2minute walk away. The over all feel of the hotel felt exclusive and kept it gardens traditional.

Pros: Nice garden, only 10 mins from the ocean beach by foot, many restaurants walking distance around.

Cons: Rooms on the photos while booking differ from rooms in reality: be aware that you'll probably get another room (not that floor, not that view; but the same price).

Pros: Lovely and quiet in the hotel. Staff couldn’t do enough for us at all times.

Cons: The track leading up to the hotel is strewn with litter. I understand it isn’t the hotels responsibility but first impressions are important and it does not create a good one. Guests also have to walk that track when leaving the hotel to go to the beach and it is not pleasant.

Pros: Had the most wonderful stay at Amaranthe. The rooms were huge and the jacuzzi was a nice luxury to have. The staff were very nice and accommodating and would definitely go back if I am in Sri Lanka again.

Pros: Very comfortable room with everything you need to relax (including hot tub with great view). Swimming pool is very nice too. A lot of very good restaurants in the area.

Cons: We didn't like the food. If we had known there are so many nice restaurants nearby we wouldn't have bought the breakfasts.

Pros: Very friendly staff, nice quiet hotel with access to the beach. Tasty food in the hotel restaurant.

Pros: Everyone in the staff is really nice. The swimming pool is amazing and the private way to the beach is really comfortable. It is really the place you wanna stay longer than what you planned. The fruit drinks are incredible! You should book this hotel!!

Cons: The wifi didn’t work well

Pros: We enjoyed this hotel very much. Our room was light, spacious and clean. The gardens and pool area were lovely. We had the buffet breakfast which was excellent. It is good not to be on the beach as the hotel is more peaceful for it, there is very short walk directly from the hotel down a private path to the beach. A great location for cafes and restaurants. A long walk or short tuk tuk trip into Trincomalee.

Cons: The event meal prices were very high.

Pros: - Great breakfast (especially if you chose to eat the local food! maybe you could add some fresh juices!) - Great location - Fantastic pool and a beautiful garden (no need to collect leaves every day, instead please help to collect all the plastic on the beach and no only on the beach in front of the hotel!) - Great staff but please you should employ more women :)

Cons: - The taxes are not included in the price on booking - you need to read in-between the lines... - We tried the burgers and fries - but it is all frozen food. Better to eat local food!

Pros: Brilliant staff and very comfortable.

Cons: Lots of crows about.

Pros: Great location. Verry good food in restaurant.

Pros: The grounds and pool area are delightful

Cons: The internet access was very slow and tricky

Pros: -nice rooms -perfect pool -super close to the beach -variable breakfast

Cons: -loud ac

Pros: The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Always asking if you needed anything and generally always there to help if they can.

Cons: Nothing except wished we could have stayed longer

Pros: The location is fantastic - the hotel backs directly onto the beach. We had a room looking directly onto the beach, and slept at night with the soothing sound of the waves against the shore. The beach is small, nice to swim in, and there are outcrops of rock with a bit of coral and reef fish - good for snorkelling! In July 2019 there were only a few tourists but a lot of local activity: the fishermen set out in the evenings and arrive early in the morning with their catch - a very poetic setting. A/C very good.

Cons: Nothing - and this is particularly due to the very kind and attentive staff, the manager Kathira and his assistant Moses - they have a quiet and smiling way to bring you a sun bed mattress before you even thought of it, or bring you tea or coffee free of charge when you most want it. The owners are doing very well by giving the freedom to their manager to make these small decisions of kindness and allowing him to fill the hotel with his great soul. WiFi can be a bit slow, it is best in the early morning.”

Cons: Super kind and helpful staff (Kathira), perfect location on the beach.

Pros: The staff was absolutely amazing. Great location with a beautiful beach. Paradise on earth. The breakfast was delicious

Pros: Such a lovely setting right on the beach. Beautiful Seaview from our room. Lovely area to sit on the balcony outside our room to have breakfast and watch fisherman drag in their nets. Very welcoming staff. Great breakfast. Lovely strolling along to the old fort and temple early evening. Limited in decent restaurants nearby. But managed at one on the beach it was okay.

Cons: Not many restaurants nearby. No other complaints. Lovely stay Fairly basic and you had to go down short flight of stairs to bathroom, but really not a problem.

Pros: Very helpful owner, he's trying to fulfil any wishes of the guests. Breakfast is also nice.

Cons: A bit overpriced, you pay for the location, which is beautiful, though. The Room is beautiful, but very small. The shared bathrooms are not perfectly clean, but okay. Actually there is not much difference to a usual hostel for 20$ per night, just the location.

Cons: I disliked this hotel as they didn't serve us breakfast. The communication between management and staff is quite bad. It was very expensive and they accused booking.com of having high fees.

Pros: Mr Kadira was a wonderful host.

Pros: The breakfast was spartan, but I had no more hunger. The guesthouse directly on the beach, the beach without big surf, perfectly to the Swimming.

Cons: the description and the Pictures from hotel

Pros: Great staff right on the beach and lovely breakfast

Cons: Needs some shade area on beach

Pros: The staff were fantastic. The accommodation was right on the beach. The breakfast was plentiful and really good. There are some restaurants within walking distance of the accommodation which were cheap and good.

Cons: The room we had had no window however that was not a problem as we only used the room to sleep in. We spent the rest of the time on the beach or out and about.

Pros: Every service , Food and Hospitality of staffs were super and nice~! Specially Mr.Jathu and Mr.Amuthan were so friendly and nice to us. If you visit Nilavelli and Pigeon Island, Come to this Hotel~! No regret!

Cons: Very good and friendly staff

Pros: The best thing is the friendly can do attitude of the staff - no request is trouble for them. For a young family the place was perfect with the pool just outside the guest rooms and a generally safe enclosed area. Breakfast is simple but fine - a choice between Sri Lankan or Western with a juice and tea or coffee. The location is good, at the top of Nilaveli beach road a 600 meter walk to the public beach although the road does get very busy with buses transporting people to and from the beach.

Cons: The journey to and from the beach isn't exactly pleasant as you have to make way for big, noisy (and usually speedy) busses - week days are better than weekends. Waiting times for meals or special requests could be a bit faster - but the staff are always doing their best for you.

Pros: It is ft restaurant...

Pros: The staff was very hospitable!

Pros: Value for money with easy access to Nilaveli Beach. Rooms are clean and tidy with main facilities. Pool given and added benefit for the value of the rooms.

Pros: Friendly service.delicious food.value for money.

Cons: No free wi fi.

Pros: Pool

Cons: The room was full of flies and mosquitoes as we checked in. There was no TV remote, we got it late - batteries excluded. The utensils and plates were not properly cleaned. The breakfast was not good.

Pros: very helpful and positive owner

Cons: small room on ground floor. I suppose rooms on first and second floor are bigger. I suppose

Cons: night

Cons: Its good place near beach. Owner was friendly and supportive.

Pros: The staffs were very supportive and helpful. It is a very nice property for value for money. It's close to Beach with very economical price.

Cons: everything was perfect. if there are some greenary or space around the property would have been nice

Pros: I booked for my friends they say really good place and cheap and BF are free and taste Don't thing 2 times i recommended

Pros: We were in Tobiko from September 16 to October 4. If you are looking for a luxury hotel, then need to look something else. Iif you are looking for comfort, a homely warm atmosphere, Tobiko is the best choice. Stunningly responsive, attentive, kind owner. He'll help you with any question. He helped my wife organize a surprise for my birthday. He also arranges airport transfers and helps with excursions. The accommodation includes breakfast, local cuisine was bit spicy for us. You can cook in the hotel kitchen yourself. Or ask them to cook from your products. Lunch or dinner is also available. I would like to return here because of the owners, staff and location. The hotel is 20 meters from the beach. The beach is wild, without umbrellas and sunbeds. Not very clean, the ocean is a bit restless, but warm and without jellyfish. The rains were short, the weather was hot and sunny. There are many restaurants nearby that can be reached by tuk tuk for 150 rupees. We recommend Eastern Lanka Restaurant and Gomesz Pasta Hut. There are also supermarkets nearby. The one next to Eastern Lanka is better because it is big. You can also go to Cargills Food City in Trincomalee. Thanks again to Jacob for a great vacation.

Pros: Lali was a really nice owner and very accommodating. The beach villa is lovely, with nice rooms, working ac and fan and good WiFi. Great location very close to the beach, would definitely recommend staying here

Pros: We stayed at Lali's Beach Villa for one week and had a wonderful time! Lali is a very nice and supportive host with whom you can also have a good chat. He can arrange trips for you and has lots of contacts in Uppuveli. The room was nice and clean, with an own bathroom. From the stay it is about 100 m to the beach and to various restaurants. We strongly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a stay in Uppuveli. Many thanks for the awesome time!

Pros: The location

Cons: The attitude of the owner. He is not capable to run a guest house.

Pros: Owner super friendly. Has bikes for rent. Beach is 3 minute walk. Very personable place and owner.

Cons: Sleeping with a fan here can be a challenge.

Pros: Good price, great location.

Cons: Very simple accomodation, shared bathroom, no AC. Do not go there if you do not like dogs (I am afraid of them).

Cons: One thing I can think of is that the bed in my room was a bit too small (I'm 183cm)

Pros: Very friendly atmosphere, cosy, everything is very comfortable. A nice beach and good bar close to.

Pros: Location is great, only few under meters from the beach Lali is cool guy

Cons: Shared bathroom could be cleaner No hot water

Pros: The owner its so friendly. The house and location is good.

Cons: In general everything good

Pros: Location 2min walk from beach, foodcity, restaurants, bars. Bed are comfy and bathrooms cleans. Facilities are good, kitchen, terraces, outside areas ( diner terace, fireplace, etc. ) Lali, the host, is really friendly and helpful, gave me lot of tips for my stay and trip. Highly Recommend

Pros: Close to the beach, great pool, huge room

Cons: No wifi in the rooms, our double bed was two beds pushed together and our shower head didn’t work.

Pros: The property sets this location apart from all others in Trincomalee. The hotel surrounded by trees gives you a feeling of being within a forest. Also the staff is extremely friendly and customer oriented. Food is brilliant specially the seafood which is there specialty

Pros: Lovely hotel with great staff. It is expensive to eat and drink there, but you will have a wonderful quality time there. Advise you to go to Pigeon Island and do some snockling.

Cons: It was very expensive.

Pros: both good

Pros: Fab location on gorgeous stretch of beach. Get the right room and you literally run out onto the beach, service was impeccable and staff friendly. The hotel is well laid out over attractive grounds, never feels anything other than quite intimate, other than a gym it has all the facilities you’d expect - and lots of trips and tours etc can be organised as well as snorkelling off a nearby nature reserve island (zPigeon Island) and it has a fun scuba school in its grounds too.

Cons: It is a resort, so it ps not convenient fir anything than itself ! Once you’re in, you will probably spend all your time here, which is not a problem if like us you needed or wanted a beach break, but the prices reflect that you are a bit of a captive audience - not the rooms, the food and drink. WiFi is localised to a central area and doesn’t reach individual rooms.

Pros: The beach..the pool...the location just off Pigeon Island....the Staff....and pretty much everything else was good..

Cons: The bed and pillows were a little too soft. A little firmer would be preferable. The spa was over 2km away from the hotel....

Pros: Nice and clean hotel, nice service and good location. Beach is good for swim, big waves. Safe to park cars, becouse all the area is guarded.

Pros: This is a real hotel for a really decent price like is not easy to find in Sri Lanka ! The rate value quality/money is more than great ! The room is really nice and cosy and best bathroom we experience (a real shower ♡). The breakfast is huge and you can even have lunch and dinner because the hotel has also a restaurant. I definitely recommend this place if you plan to pass by Trinco. Thanks for this service! Fanny & Francesco

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Friendly staff everything was good

Cons: Everything was good

Pros: We had a big room with en suite bathroom. The staff especially Regi were great and couldn’t do enough for you. They don’t serve alcohol like many places but are happy for you to bring your own. Breakfast was great and we had dinner there one night which was excellent.

Cons: It would have been nice to have tea/coffee making facilities in the room but we ordered a pot from downstairs which arrived promptly. Also be aware the property only accepts cash which was fine for us

Pros: The hotel was a little gem. Our room was well designed and spacious with extras like shampoo, body wash .Everything in the room was pristine white.

Cons: The American breakfast was twice the price as the same breakfast in a nearby hotel , but the hotel itself was excellent

Pros: very nice and clean room, for the price excellent service, we got even changed bed linens and towels during a day. the bathroom is supplied with the hot water and shampoo and body wash. the owner cooked nice dinner for us.

Cons: the only beach which was walking distance was really messy and full of trash (dutch beach), there was no place to go out for a dinner close to the hotel, the owner speaks really basic english

Pros: We came by a night bus and reached the hotel around 5 am. However, we were let into our room, where we could have rest. I was really grateful for this :) The staff was very nice, the room was clean and comfortable. Everything was just great

Pros: So this place may be out of the busy restaurant / touristy area. But honestly the price per night was amazing. - The bed was comfortable - It had the feeling of a hotel room - The shower was warm and had amazing water pressure - The AC was very cold - Parking on site - It had a ceiling fan too if you needed - The fact that you could use the pool at their sister hotel Amaranthé was amazing. Felt like you were at a fancy hotel without the hefty price tag!

Cons: Nothing. Distance to restaurants maybe, but we had a car so it was fine.

Pros: I have never seen a beach like this. The food was phantastic. Highlight in our honeymoon. Staff friendly, rooms clean and spacious. We enjoyed it so much!!!

Pros: It was very nice to stay at the hotel. Very nice breakfast buffet and pool.

Cons: We had too many bugs in our rooms.

Pros: Directly on the beach. Great position for Pigeon island. Nice swimming pool and great breakfast alla buffet. We stayed in deluxe room with nice view to the ocean and nice clean room.

Pros: Perfectly located at a nice part of Nilaveli Beach, directely looking upon Pigeon Island (though you should go to Coral Island and/or Red Rock for snorkeling). Beach was very clean (as well as the whole facility). The rooms we got had sea view (propably we'd been lucky thanks to low season) and were very clean. Breakfast was delicious.

Cons: Dinner Menu contained only a few local dishes. It may be a a personal thing, but I don't want to eat European Food like Italian Pizza, when I visit a country offering so many delicious meals like Sri Lanka. There's not much to do, when it rains.

Pros: The food was excellent. Location was perfect.

Cons: They did not provide wi fi facility for the rooms

Pros: Amazing place the beach is very nice

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The personnel was very friendly amd helpful. Very delicious breakfast. And perfect sourrandings, beautiful garden and a terrace. Would definately recommend to anyone!

Cons: A little to far to the beach and the centre, a bit longer walk.

Pros: Nice place. good staff, Really helped me a lot.

Pros: Clean, very nice garden, very good breakfast. There is a good supermarket a few hundred meters away. Tuktuk from Trinco should be 200, 250 maximum. Good wifi, good value for money. Very nice staff.
