"The staff were very attentive, friendly and efficient. We were two friends having a short break and enjoyed the relaxing time we had there. The sea eagles were a sight to see when the fish were being hauled in. Whilst there was a bit of a swell to the waves the sea was basically safe for swimming for those able to do so. The food was very good and with the option of eating at The Crab restaurant on the same site there was a range of food styles to choose from. We flew to Trincomalee airport which is not that far from the hotel however the transport was expensive at Rs4,000/= it is best to use a three-wheeler (having first agreed the price) rather than have a van or car, Rs800/= is a good price to pay currently. The three wheeler we used had probably the most honest driver I have experienced in my six years in Sri Lanka."

"Had a good stay, location is great on the lagoon, not far from a good beach and a side road with lots of restaurants and bars. Room was very good, we had a junior suite, but think there are better value options in Sri Lanka (although not in Trinco, hence why we stayed here). Overall would recommend if you have the cash"

"Nice hotel located at the beach of Trincomalee with a nice pool and an aisle, which connects the hotel directly to the beach. The room was spacious and well-equipped (TV, fridge, ceiling fan, water boiler with coffee and tea, AC). At the breakfast you can coose from a good variety of western and sri-lankan stlye food, also eggs and omeletes are freshly prepared. The hotel is close to some nice restaurants on the beach and great activities can be booked either trough the hotel or tour agents on the beach (cheaper). I would really recommend a snorkeling tour at the Pigeon Island! nice corral reef with myn fishes, riff sharks and turtles. The only down-side was that the Wi-Fi did not work in our room!"

"We weren’t going to write a review however we just received an email and thought we should share. The hotel itself was fantastic and very relaxing. It had great facilities and some great stuff (minus the manager). We had an enjoyable time however 3 days after check out we received an email from the manager stating the cashier had failed to add two beers to our final bill and if we are unable to pay the $10 ledger he would be forced to recover the cost from the cashier. We found this to be extremely poor form considering the amount of money we spent, tips given and the way the email was constructed. We are travelers and can roll with the punches but we found this to be of poor taste. Apart from this a great experience! P.s $18 for ice cream is a bit rich!!!!"

"Great little collection of cute beach cabins run by a nice family who can help with information, activities and onward travel; cabins are clean and have traveller essentials like mosquito nets and power points and a porch to sit and chat with fellow guests. The price is a little high for somewhere not on the beach, but at least the beach and other dining and drinking options aren't far away (just take a torch at night). Strongly recommended. "

"This is a very nice hotel right next to the beach. All amenities to have a comfortable stay is available. Very good view from 01st and 2nd rooms. Best rooms are located at the second floor but know that there is no elevator. Beds are comfy. Good Quality Linen. Good Housekeeping. Very friendly and helpful staff at all areas. Child friendly facilities. Excellent service at all areas. Delicious food, specially seafood at reasonable prices. Nice beach. Very close to the city and major attractions of Trincomalee. Secured parking within the hotel premises. Large ground, well maintained green and a cricket pitch. Swimming pool is nicely located in shades. Beautiful landscaping. Greenery everywhere. Only downside is that rooms are bit smaller but not to the extend of creating any discomfort."
