Trincomalee hotellia

Miinukset: A naval ship was in port and the hotel allowed at least a hundred marines to day use the facilities Although they were polite and pleasant individually they over ran the hotel and made it noisy and uncomfortable for several days

Plussat: Great location. Wonderful beach

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful. The close proximity to the beach was a real asset. I enjoyed the hammocks in the shade under the coconut trees. The bedrooms were well designed and comfortable with a spacious en suite bathroom. The back of the hotel looks out onto a good sized swimming pool with the sea and palm trees in the near distance so pretty idyllic outlook.

Miinukset: There was nothing that I didn't like.

Plussat: Wonderful stay! The location and facilities are great. The staff are super friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. Highly reccomend staying here.

Miinukset: Buffet style food was varied and had lots of options. However, it was not great and quite bland.

Plussat: Everything is very much ok, pool and beach are at its best, the seafood restaurant is excellent, the service attentif and very friendly, our stay was just great.

Plussat: Excellent hotel. Would definitely recommend it. Value for money. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and friendly. All the facilities one would need at a beachfront resort. The best hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka.

Miinukset: I have absolutely no criticisms to make of this hotel.

Plussat: This is my fourth visit to Trinco Blu. Since they've all been "work-related", never had the opportunity to fully use all facilities. Their food was very good and entertaining business principals was a success.

Miinukset: The room tends to smell as the power is activated by room key. Smells in the bathroom are the worst when you check-in or re-enter and it takes long time to clear. They need to address this.

Plussat: Nice relaxing spot right on the beach. Food very good. Plenty of sri Lankan dishes but also some western food. Staff very helpful.

Miinukset: Main restaurant only opens in evening at 7,30pm. Should open an hour earlier. Usually many people waiting before 07,30.

Plussat: Food was amazing, location and facilities, pool, private beach.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Upkeeps

Plussat: Everything, the chalet on the beach was fabulous. M Sanjaya, the chef went over and above to accommodate my husbands very special diet. Kaplan, and selvi our housekeepers were fab. Staff amazing. We saw wild elephants close to the hotel. Can't wait to go back. Thanks to all the staff.

Plussat: Calm environment, clean rooms, excellent and delicious foods and very friendly staff. Everything was perfect.

Plussat: The staff, the beach, the location in the jungle were all fantastic

Miinukset: The food and drinks were very expensive

Plussat: We stayed only 2 nights and wished we had stayed longer. The resort has wonderful facilities with immaculate grounds and rooms. We stayed in a beach bungalow which was very private, spacious and well set out. The outdoor shower is the best we have ever experienced. The staff were all amazing. So wonderfully helpful and attentive couldn’t rate them highly enough. The bar staff have exceptional service and Angela the assistant manager was so helpful and accommodating. The food was wonderful and breakfast is an experience not to be missed. The beach is also lovely and patrolled by lifeguards. Would highly recommend this resort to anyone.

Miinukset: A bit more lighting outside the room and on the pathways would be good.

Plussat: Beautiful and ‘away from it all’ place. We stayed in the beach chalet, which was wonderful. Service is excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. We recommend a trip into Trincomalee. Very interesting and authentic place. Darshan, our tuk tuk driver was very pleasant and helpful. Ask for him at reception.

Miinukset: Food choice is a bit limited after a while.

Plussat: Jungle Beach has a fabulous location, set in jungle right next to the beach and quite isolated. It is incredibly quiet and peaceful. The beach cabin was spacious, clean and very comfortable with just a short private path to the beach. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food is good quality and the dining area delightful.

Miinukset: The breakfast trays bring a lot of unwanted food to the table and may lead to a lot of wasted food. Despite the availability of a range of local fish caught by the local fishermen, the menu is rigid and doesn't reflect this variety. The beach beds and umbrellas are showing their age and could do with replacing. We have stayed at this hotel a few times. The welcome back we received on this occasion was rather underwhelming compared to previous years and in stark contrast to another Uga Escape hotel.

Plussat: Shower outside, dinner and the staff (especially Angela, she was too kind with us)

Plussat: Kaikesta, huoneesta, porealtaasta, henkilökunnasta, ympäristöstä

Plussat: beautiful location with lagoon and tastefully designed landscape. we stayed for 4 nights in a spacious clean junior suite with Jacuzzi and we thoroughly enjoyed. The Chef Nuan needs to be praised. He was ready to prepare anything we asked tastefully and he takes pride on his job. we loved his fresh crab curry which he prepared with short notice. The Restaurant staffs Shakeela, Nimal and Anne at the reception were so friendly, polite and worth mentioning. All the staffs were well trained and displayed excellent customer service. Not many hotels provide this kind of exceptional service and really worth for the money. The swimming pool and Jacuzzi was very clean and overlooking the lagoon. We had an excellent stay and look forward to visit our friends in the future.

Miinukset: We don't have anything to complain. All the areas from landscape to staff training, the management has done a wonderful job. congratulations to Mr Sri the General manager.

Plussat: The room was great,food was good pool immaculately clean. Nice view

Miinukset: No whales have a feeling they knew that

Plussat: When we arrived, we received a warm welcome. We also had a room with a beautiful view. They always looked after our needs and prepared everything very well. In the evening we had a nice dinner and the breakfast was huge and amazing.Chef Nuwan prepared it in a very interesting way. He actually arranged everything in a way that was more than we thought.And also he is kind and nice person.Thank you very much indeed. There's nothing wrong. We spent our day very well. We came back with lots of memories. We'll definitely come back in next time. Thanks again to chef Nuwan and the team.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The junior suite was amazing! The view from the Jacuzzi over the landscape is great! All personnel was very friendly and helpful! Special notice is deserved by the Barkeeper. At day and night time he provided exceptional service!

Miinukset: The standard room we had for the first 2 nights was quiet small and the bathroom did not live up to the 5-star expectations.

Plussat: Sijainti, uima-allas ja illallismahdollusuus laiturilla. Kaunis puutarha riippukeinuineen. Huone oli siisti.

Miinukset: Huone oli todella kulunut, kylpyhuoneessa haisi todella pahalle ja ilmastointi piti kovaa kolisevaa ääntä. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä mutta epäpätevää, ravintolassa tuotiin spagettia tilatun rison tilalle ja kun huomautin asiasta, minulle vastattiin että ovat sama asia. Myös huonelaskuuni oli lisätty kaksi ravintolakuittia jotka eivät olleet minun ostoksiani.

Plussat: In the better part of Uppaveli. Stunning lagoonside location, but also a short walk to beautiful beach. The pool and grounds are gorgeous. The bar is convivial.

Miinukset: We had a basic room which was a little tired decoratively. Restaurant is not great.

Plussat: Firstly, the Staff from the moment we arrived were super friendly and very welcoming. Anne and Denver on the front desk are great and couldn’t do enough for us. The rooms were a great size and I would highly recommend the Jacuzzi it was such a unique experience with beautiful views. The Don Chef - Nuwan - was so helpful and treated us like royalty, he and his team cook the best food we have had in Sri Lanka and I don’t say that lightly. The hotel grow a lot of their own fruit and vegetables. They also keep chickens and turkeys. We wished we could have stayed longer and we can’t thank the staff enough from the pool cleaner, to the tour guides to the manager they all felt like friends by the time we left. Keep up the good work guys and hopefully we’ll see you soon.

Miinukset: Leaving was sad

Plussat: good hotel with private yard. good room. one man who could help you in this hotel is front desk guy named Mike.

Miinukset: wild dogs at the beach. poor front desk girl.

Plussat: The room was very spacious and the bed was big and comfortable. The shower had great pressure and it was very hot! The swimming pool was a great size with plenty of beds and the full hotel was well looked after with cleaning being done inside and out everyday. The staff were excellent very friendly and welcoming and they even helped out with a flower arrangement and a surprise cake (free of charge) for our anniversary. They also looked into an A/C bus to Colombo for us and arranged a tuk tuk to take us to the bus stop.

Miinukset: Nothing bad to say. We would stay here again if we were back and I recommend this hotel to anyone going to Trincomalee

Plussat: We have been there this week during unusual times. The staff have been excellent. Very supportive and worked with our ever changing decisions on whether to stay, travel on or travel back to the airport. They were calm, gracious and totally unflustered and reassuring smiles and empathy for our decisions and care for our well bring. Staff excellent. Hotel a dream. Wonderful enclosed garden around a pool and water garden. Lovely sun beds even a line in pools to put your feet in under the shade of trees and shrubs to cool off. Lovely fish ponds. Nicely decorated.relaxing reception lounge with free wifi. Excellent resturant with European fish and meat dishes and Sri Lankan food. Excellent for us as vegetarians..Sri Lankan vegetable currys.

Plussat: Service was excellent,dining very good , great pool . Very good staff helpful and informative & my daughter saw blue whales & dolphins on trip booked through hotel.

Miinukset: 1problem with air conditioning which was fixed immediately & worked thereafter with no further problem.

Miinukset: We were really disappointed in the customer service and we did not get good value for money. Firstly we asked in the morning for the hotel to book us a taxi to Sigiriya for the following day. We agreed on a time and the hotel staff said it would cost 7000 rupees which we agreed to. Then at about 7:30pm we were told that actually it was going to cost 8000 rupees (we weren't stoked with this as we had thought 7000 was a bit much but had agreed to it anyway), we weren't very happy with this but since it didn't leave us any time to find any other transport, we had to agree. On the same day we ordered two mojitos from the bar, and on the menu it said they cost 550 rupees each. We signed the bill for this to be charged to our room. The next morning we get knock on our door saying that they'd made a mistake and actually the mojitos cost 1000 rupees each and we needed to pay more. We showed them the menu which stated 550 rupees but were told this price was only for 'virgin' mojitos and because we had alcohol in ours, it was 1000 rupees. We pointed out that this was not mentioned anywhere on the menu, but we got no apology or acknowledgement from the staff and we were made to pay more. These may have just been mistakes on the staff's part but since it happened to us twice in our two day stay, we were a bit suspicious. Either way, we felt VERY ripped off when we went to pay our bill and still got no apology, acknowledgement or compensation. If you do stay here, be very careful about exactly how much you are getting charged.

Plussat: Nice small/middle size hotel with swimming pool and 2 min to the beach. Nice and helpful personnel.

Miinukset: I can recommend breakfast but for other meals explore around

Plussat: Good breakfast

Miinukset: An outside fan would have been fine

Plussat: Bed needs two more additional bed. In Room # 212, the toilet bidet hand shower is on the wrong direction. Shower cabin door does not seal well hence water comes out.

Plussat: Helpful staff, good breakfast. Location superb, with great views from luxury, first-floor rooms. Room was comfortable, spacious, well equipped.

Miinukset: Restaurant seemed to provide rather limited options in the evening, though what we chose was good. Some aspects of the hotel seemed slightly neglected, eg a huge projecting upper deck had a floor which was decaying in parts. Easy to avoid this part, though, and the dramatic location suited us.

Plussat: The location and view was fantastic.

Miinukset: No fridge, no tea or coffee making facility, restaurant not always open (due to weather).

Plussat: Our stay at The Golden Beach Resort was an excellent break from busy life. We stayed in an ocean front Large Room and the views and sound from the Great Ocean were splendid! Beyond the relaxing atmosphere of the villa, the next best part was the fantastic food and excellent service at the Restaurant. The menu has a great variety of food choices and the preparation made for superior tasting. The staff was very attentive, professional and friendly A wonderful mini-vacation!

Miinukset: You can walk along the beach into Trincomalee, it takes about an hour.

Plussat: The manager was super friendly and helpful. The hotel is right on the beach. It's not the nicest beach in Sri Lanka but it's not bad considering it's right in town. It's a short walk on the beach or the road to Fort Frederick.

Miinukset: This place is a bit basic, and it wasn't super great value for the money, but was fine for a night. The helpful manager and great location make up for any shortcomings.

Miinukset: Super kind and helpful staff (Kathira), perfect location on the beach.

Plussat: Perfect location right at the quiet beach of Trincomalee. Very friendly staf! Stayed upstairs with a balcony with seaview which was amazing. Bathroom downstairs was a bit funny smelling because of humidity but apart from that clean. Would definitly recommend it because of the nice beach location and good vibes!

Plussat: Perfect location right on the beach. We stayed on the upper floor and had sea view from our room. The breakfast was very delicious. Moses is a fantastic host. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome. We recommend this place.

Miinukset: The two rooms on the upper floor have a separate toilet on ground floor. The sea view rooms are fantastic, but the other rooms om ground floor seems more comfortable and have private toilets.

Plussat: Very Caring and kind staff!!! Good food. Very good located right at thé beach

Plussat: Property right on the beach Owner and staff very nice and helpful Good breakfast Comfortable bed Room with brand new AC working very well and silently
