The location was absolutely beautiful. And we had the dinner at their restaurant which was with the beach and food was super tasty and an at night view is cool.
Room is not comfortable enough for the money we spent. Bath room door was broken. AC is not good enough to cool the room. Also facilities are not good too.

Honestly, I don’t understand the lower ratings/reviews of this place. We’ve been on a road trip through Sri Lanka and, despite this having the lowest rating of all the hotels we booked, I would say this is easily the #1 place we’ve stayed so far. Key highlights: * The location! DREAMY. We walked up and down Nilaveli Beach for hours and, while there are other beach resorts, not one feels quite like this. Very, very few guests, AMAZING views of the sea from your room and the pool, and a private beach… There isn’t even a fence between the pool and the beach, so it just feels like one flows into the other. It honestly feels so exclusive. We FELL in love with the whole area. And if you walk along the beach for a few minutes, you can find pretty much anything you want: kayaks, jet skis, boat trips to Pigeon Island, surfing, snorkelling and scuba diving. So much to do! * Their beach restaurant. Not only is it super cute with amazing vibes, but they also offer fresh fish and seafood BBQ every night. Oh!!! We were planning to go down to Trincomalee for dinner one night, but we just kept coming back to the hotel instead. We loved it! Their breakfast is also the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka so far — incredibly abundant and SO good. * The staff. So attentive and kind! They really go above and beyond for their guests, always with a smile on their faces :) The room was also super clean and well presented. Compared with the other 3-star hotels we’ve stayed in, this was far superior to any of them. TV, FRIDGE (!), working electrical sockets on both sides of the bed, comfy bed and pillows, and a perfectly good shower with good pressure and hot water. Some reviewers complain about the maintenance of the pool, but the issue with the drainage covers around two edges of the pool is actually because the drainage hole was built slightly wider than the actual drainage grating, so if the covers move a little, they can fall down.
My only “complaint” is that I think it would be great if they could serve breakfast a little earlier than 8 AM for early birds like us who like to start our water activities early. But honestly: you’re in Sri Lanka, staying in a 3-star hotel - not a 5-star luxury resort in the Maldives. Be fair with your expectations and your reviews!! This was a a DREAM STAY.

Right on the beach for easy access, all accom on ground level, staff very friendly, food options were great, the beach was lovely and peaceful, perfectly located pool overlooking the beach (without any street vendors or beggers handing around). Deepan the chef also went to great lengths to make special sri lankan breakfast specifically after discussing with us. Dinner seafood options were great.
There could be some live music in the evening which could add to the ambience

Right on the beach ⛱️ And just a short beach walk to cafes nearby, so you had more choices for meals and drinks. If you want to go further into town Uppervalli or Trincomalee for Supermarket goods OR more cafes /restaraunts then a taxi or tuk tuk is required. Staff were happy 😊 and accommodating. And could not do enough for you. The pool at accom. to cool us off after the Pidgeon Island 🏝 snorkelling excursions was welcomed We stayed for 3 nights and It was a pleasant stay
Cold water showers in the accommodation But, I did get use to it eventually... Many items listed on Booking.com website were not at the accommodation
