"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."

"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!"

"Basically the facilities there are deserved to be called as four star hotel, except for a couple of furniture you may feel a little bit rough which are made of raw wood, others like Appliances, timber floor, modern toilet & shower and bedding are all fantastic. It is more like a boutique inn, the staff there are not as professional as those in five star hotels, but they are extremely nice and make you feel welcome. BBQ buffet was available for dinner during our stay, we sit together with other people at one big table and played board game after dinner. It was amazing. The experience was terrific, and far beyond our expectation, highly recommended."

"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"

"We were staying in this hotel for 5 nights at the end of trip around Sri Lanka. We decided that we rather choose 5 stars hotel in Trincomalee instead of going for the same price on Maldives in hotel 3 stars. Everything was excellent. Rooms are big, clean, staff is cleaning the room 3 times in day. Food was delicious and very nice prepared. Especially breakfast - amazing. Beach is clean, nobody is there all around, so you can really enjoy every single minute. Staff is very friendly and they are gorgeous. Only internet wifi is a little bad covered in the room. It is working in the restaurant and bar and reception. "

"it seems that many of the hotels in trincomalee are overpriced and this one is no exception. the room is large and spacious but rather run-down, especially the bathroom. but it is all clean and would be quite acceptable if it wasn't quite so expensive. the pool is fine, good access to the beach. the restaurant is ok, breakfast was a buffet that was reasonably good. it seems there are limited options around uppaveli beach for people who want a more mid-ranged place to stay and this is a reasonable choice if you're willing to pay it. just don't expect anything amazing."

More about Trincomalee

Boasting the world’s fifth largest natural harbor, Trincomalee is very much a beach destination with beachfront accommodations ranging from budget to luxurious. The harbor has also influenced the city’s past, bringing in European powers over the centuries to vie over control of the waters. The city is home to the Sri Lankan Air Force base as well as naval bases. The airbase operates commercial flights from Colombo, but taking a bus or train is just as convenient a means to arrive.

The beaches of Trincomalee make for a great location when looking to stay in the city. Uppuveli Beach and Nilaveli Beach offer near-pristine conditions for a beautiful stay, with the latter situated within the vicinity of a big military base and offering a less crowded option. Whether located along the waterfront or tucked a bit inland, visitors are never too far from the city’s attractions and activities. As a rather compact town, Trincomalee can be easily explored on foot or bicycle and quickly traversed with a tuk tuk.

When not at the beach or checking out the military bases, visitors can be found enjoying the famous hot springs, taking in the city’s history, or exploring the religious culture via the Hindu and Buddhist temples. Water sports on Pigeon Island and dolphin and whale watching from Uppuveli Beach also make for excellent times while in Trincomalee. Be sure to check out the interactive map for information on hotel locations, attractions, and must-see destinations.
