My recent stay left me with mixed feelings. Let me start with the positives – the location is fantastic and it has a nice beachfront. it's convenient for you if you stay in your room to jump into the water. However, there were some disappointments. Despite what was promised on Booking.com, certain amenities were not provided in the room, such as tea and water bottles. To add to the frustration, purchasing these items incurred an extra charge, which was unexpected. Moreover, I noticed a discrepancy in the level of service when booking through Booking.com. It seemed that the staff weren't as attentive or accommodating, perhaps due to the lower rate displayed on the booking platform compared to their regular charges. This lack of consistency left a sour taste in my mouth. Overall, while the location is a definite highlight, the inconsistencies in service and amenities detracted from the overall experience. For those considering a stay here, be sure to clarify expectations directly with the accommodation to avoid any unwelcome surprises.

“Reasonable value for money right on the beach near to Trinco”
Great location, right on the beach, although quite isolated, ok, if you have your own transport

The location to the beach is the best in all Nilaveli. You can hang out on the beach Cabanas of the hotel all day which is very good due to the heat and getting sun burned otherwise.

“Lovely 5 nights Honeymoon had. Having had the bustle of the cities could not have been better. Ask for a Dilon cockta”
Location was amazing, untouched beaches and attentive staff. So relaxed at all times. Food amazing. Fresh catch is great and the tables on the beach beautiful. Allowed to borrow the bike too. Close to amazing coral for snorkelling.

“Chill vibes and pleasant people”
This place has the best atmosphere and chill vibes (at the beach, great music etc.). The second thing we would like to point out are people who work there - they are amazing. Sura manages the place very well, Dila makes delicious smoothies, Indika is always smiling and welcoming guests and all the other people who work at the resort try to make your stay pleasant. We are sad that we could only stay there for 3 nights, but we will definitely be back! 😊
