We stayed three nights at Nature Beach Huts and from the moment of the booking to our leave everything was fantastic! Brenda took so good care of us! We got the best route to get to the hotel via WhatsApp, got sight-seeing suggestions and Brenda was open for all of our questions. The Huts are made with so much love for detail. The close by beach is small but the water is wonderful. Separated from the oceans by a ring of stones, the laguna is 60 cm deep max and it’s so warm! Brenda is a fantastic cook. We stayed in for breakfast and dinner. We did a tour through Trincomalee with her brother as well as a nightly jungle walk. Both was really interesting and he explained a lot about Hindu temples and the wildlife.

Great location a very short walk to the beach, the room was spacious and big enough to easily unpack bags. The room was clean and good air-conditioning. The owner was very helpful with advice on the area and organised a scooter for us to explore the local area

Food food and food 👌 The hotel is one of the best in Trincomalee. Rooms super comfortable. Sleep super good. But something really sticking out: the owner. Have never seen man with such an honest smile. Will never forget this. For 3 nights we were eating at his place and so far this has been the best food in Sri Lanka. Hope to be able to come again.

The location is very convenient, the beach is really close and the garden in front of the stay is beautiful and we often ended up just chilling there. The beds were really comfortable and the bathroom clean. And not to forget about the hosts. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Location was perfect (close to beach and amazing restaurants), staff were incredibly helpful, whole place was super clean and exceptional value for money. All quite basic, but it had everything we needed. The shared kitchen and fridge is also very useful… all in all a great place for a beach holiday!

    Nice hotel, clean, comfortable, great location - practically on the beach. The owner is a great host, super helpful and responsive on WhatsApp. Scooter rental available at the property. On our last evening we took a cooking class with the owners wife which was great. The food was tasty. Very good price as well. The owner also kindly arranged a taxi back to Negombo for us for an unbeatable price. Recommended.
