Despite the non stopping rain for days and days, our stay in Amanta Beach was just perfect. Everything is as shown on the photos and written in the description and actually there is much more. Slightly out of the village, just right on the private beach, with a huge garden and a cute swimming pool, you will be offered very tasty breakfasts and dinners.. The rooms and the private gardens have everything you may need. And those stylish decorations! I need to mention also the very lovely staff who make you feel very welcome and still manage to give you the privacy you want in such a place. It is not the cheapest, but absolutely worth the value.

This place has two big advantages – it’s brand new and the location is close to the beach. It was the cleanest place we stayed in Sri Lanka. It is more an apartment than a hotel, which is totally fine. The staff were warm and helpful, though their English was limited. I see a few things that could be improved, like having a nice outdoor seating area. Overall, it was a really nice stay.

The accommodation was exceptionally clean and spacious! We were very satisfied with the standard. The hosts were very kind and helpful in showing us around and letting us park for free. They even supplied us with extra blankets and towels. The breakfast was exceptional which was catered to out taste. Right on the beach and the villas are surrounded with beautiful homegrown flowers and plants.. I would definitely visit again. The hosts were so kind and sweet, always checked in on us. We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend

    I liked the small hotel we stayed in on the beach front (...

    I liked the small hotel we stayed in on the beach front (Mithra Paradise) and the semi-private beach. A real gem if you're looking for a quiet romantic place. Much better than the big faceless commercial hotels. I would recomemmend the small guest houses in the whole of SL for this reason as the service is exceptional and they are usually family-run so they put a lot of love and effort into pleasing their guests. No mosquitoes in July. Avoid the dolphin watching 'chasing' tours. Loads of boats making a big noise and running over the dolphins. Poor animals. You only glimpse them for a few seconds and the boat ride is hell on your back. Try the snorkelling instead.

    A much more peaceful beach holiday that at neighbouring Uppaveli, so if you want to get away from the crowds, it’s a perfect spot. The surrounding countryside looks beautiful too - I wish we’d have had more time to explore. We ate at Sara’s fish restaurant, where the seafood kottu & prawn curry were delicious.

    Nilaveli is the perfect beach if you want peace and quiet , not many shops or facilities about, a few ok restaurants near by some expensive for Sri Lanka even more pricey than England, would need to travel 15km by local Tuk Tuk to find a good choice in Trincomalee-Nilaveli-Pulmodai which around 2000 rupees each way

    Very soft golden sand. Sea was not rough during our stay. Snorkeling trips are arranged by guides to nearby Pigeon Island. Pristine corrals and species. May be less restaurants along the beach, and not much of public facilities like toilets and wheelchair access etc

    Nilaveli has a lot to offer.

    Nilaveli has a lot to offer. The lower part of the beach closer to Trincomalee is very much like Bali or Goa with lots of accommodation including budget friendly options. It has many small cafes and restaurants right on the beach. There are also many dive shops offering diving experiences at Pigeon Island just off the coast. The upper end of the beach is more secluded and has fewer beach cafes and bars. This is where the larger more upmarket Nilaveli Beach Hotel is located.

    The location of this hotel on Nilaveli beach cannot be beaten. It is 100m down from the louder beach bars area - with all the local fishing boats in between. The pool is clean and large and the shaded palm tree area beside it is a beautiful place to sit in a hammock. The attractive huts on the hotels’ private beach area provide shade for the sun beds - the beach is clean and the sea great for body boarding (July). The staff are all friendly and some of them had a pro-active approach to the guests.

    Nice and clean place. Room is simple, bed comfortable, there is a terrace outside where you get breakfast ( very good, not included but cheap) or you can sit and rest. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The woman always offered a cup of tea in the afternoon. The beach is only a few minutes to walk. Restaurants around the corner. Busstop near by. The owner has a tuktuk and gave me a good price for the transport to Trincomalee busstation. I enjoyed my time at Pranu House.
