Uppuveli Beach by Dsk

"Highly recommend this hotel. I landed here unexpectedly and couldn’t have been happier! The hotel is beautiful - the stunning beach, the lovely pool (I had a private pool - well worth the treat!), good food, excellent spa and truly outstanding staff! Honestly everyone was lovely - too many folks to mention everyone but special thanks to Danu for the airport transfers & lovely conversation about island life, and to Dehami who found me a room last minute & made the stay so memorable. I hope to be back one day 😎"

Jungle Beach an Uga Experience - Trincomalee

"The hotel gave a lot of surprises. The performance after sunset was very ceremonial, with strong Sri Lankan local dances and songs, allowing you to immerse yourself in the teardrop of the Indian Ocean."

Nilaveli Boutique Hotel

"A terrible experience. Our plan was to relax and do PADI diving, so we booked for three nights with a 24-hour cancellation policy. The room was awful; it smelled damp, crows were croaking on the ceiling, and it was very noisy. The window wouldn't even open. The room was actually more expensive than many other options in Upuveli or other more interesting areas. The worst part is that we only stayed one night and canceled the other two because they didn't give us any trouble. They told us they would refund our money, then excused themselves by saying that Booking.com's policies didn't allow it. A complete lie. Then they said they would refund it but that they weren't a big hotel and couldn't afford such excuses. Two weeks later, we're still waiting for a refund of about €80. Day after day, they keep giving us the runaround, saying they've gone to the bank and the transfer should be arriving soon, but we never get an answer. I don't recommend this place so you don't have the same bad experience we did. The room we were assigned was nothing like the ones shown in the pictures on ***********, TripAdvisor, or Google. There's nothing around, and few restaurants. The receptionist was very friendly and the breakfast was very good. The cancellation and refund process was terrible."

Amaranthe Bay Resort & Spa

"I stayed here because there were no other hotels close to my business trip. It's a good hotel compared to other nearby places. The restaurant's food service is quite slow, so you should visit with plenty of time to spare."

Hotel Sun Blue

"Clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly and flexible staff. 5 minits to the amazing beach. The ATM, restaurants and mini supermarkets are nearby. There is a fridge in the kitchen to store your own stuff and have the facility to cook your food. Highly recommended!"

Namaste Nilaveli

"This is a new small guest house (ca. 8 rooms) in Nilaveli. It's on a side road with no traffic and hardly any neighbours - very quiet at night! It's a 10-minute walk to the lovely Nilaveli beach, all on side roads with no traffic, passing typical Sri Lankan houses with the occasional cow on the road. The beach is beautiful there, you can walk along it for a long distance. The room was very large with a double bed, bedside tables, shelves to keep stuff, plenty of hangers and clothes rack. There was AC and fan for cooling. The room had 17 plugs! The bathroom is very spacious, no wet floors all over when taking a shower. There is also a nice sitting area in front of the room to relax. Everything is spotless clean. The hotel was completed just before the Covid outbreak. Right now there is no hot water or TV but I guess that will be put once the guests start arriving. The owner is on site and makes sure that everybody is comfortable. He has worked in a luxury hotel before and knows what he is doing. The food was simply amazing. You discuss your food desires in the morning and they go shopping and prepare it freshly for you. Delicious! We definitely will come back here."
