If you prefer some extra luxury on this part the country, then this is it. The place is new, very beautiful, calm and quiet. We stayed at one of the bungalows closest to the pool. You have easy access to the beach, make sure to get a glimpse of the Sunrise in the morning. Ask for the local breakfast. Don't worry about the portions, they have a fully equipped gym :) The staff are very friendly. They were about to open a new spa. Also try the newly opened cafe outside.

This is the ultimate vibe place when you’re in Trinco (or in Sri Lanka in general). All the guys running this place are super nice, they organize events for their guests, parties, dinners, but also just hangouts etc. I felt super welcome at their hostel. If you’re looking for a place to chill out and meet other like-minded travelers, dont look any further! This is it. I will be looking forward to coming back one day. Thanks!!

The accommodation is an amazingly beautiful, spotlessly clean, peaceful oasis with nurtured gardens.The host Suba is an excellent friendly host who speaks English well and cooks beautiful breakfasts. The accommodation is very relaxing. The beds were super comfy, and the sheets were very soft. The beach is beautiful, very clean and sand entry to the sea with a great choice of restaurants close by. We extended our stay and will return and recommend it to our friends and family.

Nice place—good value for the price. The family running it is very welcoming, kind, and decent, which made the stay feel comfortable. It’s just about 50m to the beach, so the location is also ideal. There are also some nice restaurants nearby if you want to try something different. Overall, a great stay!

    The location next to the beach was ideal plus we enjoyed using their beachside restaurant and bar. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and even arranged a birthday cake for my daughter’s birthday. Would highly recommend staying here if you can get a room (as I think they book up quickly).

    We had a wonderful one-night stay at this hotel. The white sandy beach is just a short 100m walk away, making it an ideal location. The rooms were very clean and decent, and the WiFi was super fast, perfect for staying connected. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby, adding to the convenience. Overall, a great place to stay at a reasonable price.

    Highlight of the hotel for me was the pool. It was a great size and very clean and well maintained. The hotel overall was spotless and the staff did everything to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The location was great for access to the beach and the best of the beachfront restaurants. Well worth a visit

    Location to the beach was brilliant, about a 30 minute stroll to uppuveli beach, where nice cheap restaurants can be found for both lunch and dinner. The view from the balcony over the sea is wonderful. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful when planning excursions such as whale watching and Pigeon Island. They also organise tuk tuks where you get the most fantastic driver in Kumar, who will chat to you and offer to take you whenever you want to go (even at 5am).
