“Great spot but its not beachfront”
Great place but absolutely not beachfront as shown in Booking.com. Is a 5 minute walk to beach which is fine but dont say beach front when it isn't. Great pool. Large and clean No meals are served but plenty of great restaurants close by. They say they have breakfast but only toast and jam!!! Don't get me wrong. Still in a good location and would happily stay again.

The manager at Cresent Sea was charming, thoughtful and very helpful. He went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The pool was particularly good, clean and big enough for lap swimming. Nice and close to the beach.

“Marvellous garden, close to seaside”
Very beautiful garden, big pool, close to seaside, very nice breakfast with nice juices. You are in a privileged hotel resort close to Sri Lankian local sea experience, which we appreciated. You can walk to beach restaurants. MOON isle was the best

“Fabulous”
We loved our stay here, it is a great hotel in a great location. We had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the garden. The room had a fridge which kept my beer, and water icy cold. The pool is fab, quite big and really clean. The manager was lovely, he went out of his way to accommodate my husband’s dietary needs and got food in especially for him. The resort is a short walk from the beach and there are lots of great restaurants in the area too. There is also a wine shop just around the corner.

“Great value for money”
The staff were exceptionally helpful. The location to the beach was excellent. Trincomalee was a short Tuk Tuk ride away, Tuk Tuk are easy to come by. The staff were able to put us in contact with pearl divers, who provided an excellent and reasonably priced whale and dolphin watching trip.

There were nice garden and swimming pool. They prepared us breakfast on one of the mornings and even opened coconuts for us. That was really nice. Rooms are really basic, not to elegant but clean. They do not provide any kind of celaning or chaninging the towels during the stay. The village itself is really small and there is not much to do. But overall it was good 3 night stay.
