“Best stay in trincomalee!”

10 second walk to a beautiful beach with free sunbeds for hotel guests. Friendly staff with a nice restaurant for great food and drinks. Huge bonus of the best dive school in sri lanka on site, fully recommend

Amazing location, right on the beach front and very close by to restaurants and bars. Very friendly and helpful staff, who helped us when we encountered a medical problem.

“On the beach accommodation”

The location of the rooms are amazing. It is on the beach, so it was very convenient for a beach day. Our host was very nice and helpful. The room and bathroom is not very spacious, but it does the work. The value of this place is its location.

The place was amazing walk out of the room and your on the beach.

We loved how clean and comfortable everything was. The location right by the beach made it extra special, and Alex was an amazing, helpful host.

“It was great for what I wanted ocean view for a an OK price.”

Oceanview and the sound of the Ocean were omnipresent, right in front of the room.

“Beach front property with a lovely host and close to a supermarket and restaurants.”

The FGRGH is beach front property and run by a very attentive, humble and friendly young chap called Alex. His cousin runs the beachfront next door. Both have restaurants which are mainly open during high season. The FGRGH has approximately 5 rooms facing the sea directly and 2 on the side next to the reception. Note that the entire plot from beach to mainroad is called French Garden but only this one is really next to the sea. The rooms are basic but have clean white bed sheets and clean light towels - plus veranda and two chairs. There was a nice wooden wall shelf/table and a mirror in room 109. All rooms have windows and mosquito nets on top of the bed. Though it was often rainy during my extended stay the room was never humid compared to other places I stayed in Uppuveli. Alex arranges Tuk Tuks, finds out about train schedules, can arrange coconuts, cutlery, etc… The guesthouse is more or less at the end of the long hotel stretch and therefore nice and quiet. At the junction (200 m) to the main road you have a mini (tuk tuk) supermarket and a restaurant (tasty&fast family restaurant). You can catch busses or tuk tuks from there. The beer and liquor store is about 15 mins walk up north (on the mainroad). I slept very well with the sound of the waves and enjoyed a daily run up North on the beach all the way to the laguna with fishermen catching their daily rations in the morning. I would definitely recommend this place and will certainly return.

“Such a cute little hotel right on the beach! Easy to witness a breathtaking sunrise”

The room was basic but perfect for having the beach right at your doorstep! The AC was silent, clean towels were provided and the washroom had hot water - bonus. All rooms have a small patio that faces the beach.

“Amazing location, great bed, Alex was delightful and helpful, shame about the bathroom”

Exquisitely positioned on the beach. Comfortable bed, lovely bedding. This had the potential to be a fabulous place to stay.

“It’s was a great stay to really relax.”

The location directly on the beach, the ac and fan option, The staff is very friendly and helpful.

“Great place to chill out with the beach, good food and great cocktails.”

It was right on the beach and it was comfortable. The restaurant was right on our doorstep and had great food with a great view.

“Basic room, right on the beach”

Amazing location, right on the beach. Snack bar Hawaii on site did good food, amazing Piña Coladas, staff were friendly. (We arrived from Jaffna and were a bit shocked at the prices here, but they are normal in Uppuveli, and still cheap by Western standards) On-site dive shop was also good with friendly staff. A good base to visit Trincomalee and Nilaveli. Wine shop and green grocers not too far away if you want to save a buck by buying fruit and beer. Nice little terrace out front of the room

“For a great beach stay you can’t do better for this price!”

Clean rooms right at the great beach. Grounds kept very clean, good airco, cute sitting area at each room. Beachtowels are provided. Cannot beat the location! We had a nice tour of the town by tuktuk suggested by the owner. Free beds with parasols at the beach.

Beachfront Diving and snorkeling facilities nearby

“Amazing views and friendly staff”

The view from the door made this stay exceptional. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and we had a dog friend who slept on our door mat each night, who was sweet. The beach bar just outside serve amazing drinks and food too.

The location Is Amazing, with rooms facing directly the beach. Rooms are basics, but with everything you Need. A Little refrigerator would be appriciated

The location is perfect, on the beach. The restaurant is very good and the staff are nice.

“Amazing location right on the beach”

The location was exceptional- absolutely brilliant being right on the beach with a great beach restaurant on your doorstep and a porch to sit in. Fantastic for getting up early to catch the sunrise on the beach.
