Trinco Blu by Cinnamon

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel on the beach and I think all rooms face out to the pool and beach. The pool and property are nice. Lots of loungers available. The beach is very clean in front of the property, but less so as you walk along the beach. The security keeps the beach sellers at bay which is appreciated. Lots of food options in very easy walking distance. I didn't try the buffet restaurant but the other one was respectable."

"Lovely experience staying at C Beyond! Eric was lovely and very hospitable to my Mum, my sister and I. The pool was lovely and the private beach was also great. Breakfast was very generous and delicious. Overall would definitely recommend!"

Jungle Beach an Uga Experience - Trincomalee

10/10 Excellent

"If you’re looking for a truly secluded escape, Jungle Beach delivers. Far from the more developed parts of or Uppavelli, it’s wonderfully private — just you, the jungle, and one of the most pristine beaches I’ve ever set foot on. The sand is very soft, the sunsets paint the sky in gorgeous paddle pop colours, and the early morning walks are magical and peaceful. Breakfasts were a highlight with the most wonderful fresh juice (try the wood apple & passion fruit!) and a full menu to order from. Evenings on the beach with fresh seafood were equally special, and the staff were genuinely warm throughout. They also helped us arrange a bike rental to explore the beach area in Uppuveli, which was a great way to see a bit more of the region. Wildlife encounters were unforgettable: langur monkeys swinging through the trees off our balcony of the garden room, Sri Lankan squirrels with the cutest pink noses coming right up to us, and even a crocodile spotted on the grounds. A few heads ups: it’s a very family-friendly hotel with lots of kids, so the pool fills up fast, however the beach loungers are the place to be. Midst wear flip flops died to the beach as the sand gets seriously hot in summer. Feedback: The beach bar plays the same playlist on repeat which would have been nice if it played more varied music. A perfect blend of beach and jungle — highly recommend!"

Uppuveli Beach by DSK

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful new hotel on the beach. Grounds are immaculately kept. Nice pool & bathing area under palm trees. Beach bar too. Food was nice and open all hours. Can walk via the beach to other restaurants easily. Would recommend the dolphin watching & snorkelling on pigeon island. You can go to Nilaveli for the day for a more quiet, cleaner beach."

Nilaveli Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved every minute of our stay. The rooms are small but have everything you need to be comfortable and you are walking distance to the beach. The breakfast is lovely and so is the service and the AC in the room. We made friends on the patio and were comfortable throughout. "
