Wasee was a great host. He went far and beyond to make our stay memorable. The property is spotless clean and situated in a calm yet walking distance from the Nilaveli beach. Breakfast was excellent as well.

A new hotel, opened six months ago. The rooms are very spacious, independent cottages, beautifully decorated, and the beds are super comfortable. The infinity pool is right on the beach, which is very flat, perfect for swimming in the sea. As for the buffet, both for breakfast and for lunch at the hotel if you're so inclined, it's spectacular, very varied, and of high quality (I counted more than 30 different desserts!). Special mention should be made of the level of service, superior to many 5-star hotels I've stayed at, both in Europe and Asia: room cleaning, tea and coffee service, twice-daily towel and amenities change, fast and impeccable room service, etc. And of course, the attention and friendliness of all the staff is extraordinary. In short, a truly five-star hotel with a quality/price ratio that's hard to beat.

We just left the most wonderful hotel ran by the sweetest loveliest people and I wish we could have stayed for a whole month at least. If you’re hesitating whether to book this stay or not, book it right now! Where to begin: The location is magical, located by the sea with stunning views and an overall calmness that surrounds the area. The beach (with private hotel access) is gorgeous and with direct views to pigeon island. The sunrises and sunsets at CBeyond feel out of this world as they’re so beautiful. The pool is great and so inviting, perfect for an afternoon dip. The hotel is stunning; the decoration in the shared areas such as the living room, dining room and porch is tasteful. Our room was so spacious, with loads of natural light and the most breathtaking views to the coast. The bathroom is well equipped and the shower has great water pressure (this is quite important to me). The bedroom has a gorgeous private balcony with a couple of lounge chairs where I’ve been sitting to watch the sunrise (very recommendable), bed is big and very comfortable. The breakfast served in the mornings is the best breakfast I’ve ever had, no joke. The fruit platter is fresh and delicious, the pancakes and french toast very delectable but the cherry on top are curry’s. Lunch and dinner are also great and very tasty! Saving the best for last: the personnel running the hotel. I have never experienced such wonderful treatment like this before; they all have been so kind, lovely and helpful. Went above & beyond every time we had any inquiry and were so nice about it - we had some problems with our tuktuk and they took care of it. We celebrated a birthday here and they made the day feel 10 times more special!! Eric & co have been so lovely, they made our stay here so memorable, it’s going to be impossible to top. Thank you all so much for your kindness, we hope to come back really soon!!

The best place for a relaxed holiday at the beach. Everything is perfect, it is all in the details…. The maintenance is excellent. The owners wife is French so you can feel it in the interiors. The wide beach is spotless clean, they check it every day. Next to a cute fisherman place with little boats. Lovely garden. The swimming pool is very cute. The food is very good. The chefs worked in 5 star hotels. They can arrange tuk tuk and different tours ( they do not charge commission). Thank you for this little paradise!

We stayed at Avila Nilaveli Beach and were absolutely delighted! The villa is small but very fresh, cozy, and clean — everything feels well-maintained and new. The staff were wonderful — kind, attentive, and always willing to help. They had their own set breakfast, but we sometimes asked for additional things, and they happily prepared them for us. Everything they made was truly delicious. Coffee or tea was always served with breakfast, on time and with care. One especially lovely gesture: before our departure, they prepared a dish with okra just for me, showed me how they cook it — it felt like a mini cooking class! And then they packed it up for me to take with us. It was such a warm and thoughtful touch. We also felt very safe and well looked after, as someone from the staff was always around and available if we needed anything. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

We stayed in several hotels on the island. And the best impression was left by this hotel. It is not big at all, but very cozy. There are good towels (it turns out that other hotels have problems with the quality of towels). There is hot water. And the rooms themselves are clean. Two hooligan cats live on the territory))))) As for the music, it is not loud and plays only until 10 p.m. The hotel also has a cafe with a chef who deserves a Michelin star 🫶. In the hotel and the cafe are done with style and very nice. Next time we will definitely come back here

This location was absolutely beautiful.

This location was absolutely beautiful. There's lots to see and do and 3 nights wasn't enough to fully enjoy the setting. Yes you can spend time at the beach and go snorkeling, but you can also visit the Thiruskoneswaram temple and eat delicious food on Sarvodaya Road. We highly recommend Rice 'n' Curry Restaurant. As well as The White House for Accommodation and Rangan Snorkeling

I liked the small hotel we stayed in on the beach front (Mithra Paradise) and the semi-private beach. A real gem if you're looking for a quiet romantic place. Much better than the big faceless commercial hotels. I would recomemmend the small guest houses in the whole of SL for this reason as the service is exceptional and they are usually family-run so they put a lot of love and effort into pleasing their guests. No mosquitoes in July. Avoid the dolphin watching 'chasing' tours. Loads of boats making a big noise and running over the dolphins. Poor animals. You only glimpse them for a few seconds and the boat ride is hell on your back. Try the snorkelling instead.

Trincomalee is a beautiful beach town, the beaches are amazing, lots of cultural things to do if you want, as well as lots of relaxation. Some great restaurants on the beach and in the town. The only draw back is it takes quite along time to get to (depending on where you are coming from) but that is the same across most of Sri Lanka

We absolutely love this area, by far one of the best places in Sri Lanka. After travelling around the island, we decided just to completely chill and not check out the other beaches. We will definitely go back again and check out a few of the other beaches along that coastline. Food is fantastic and the people are very friendly! When we read up about the island, they said that this was the less developed area, but as far as I could see it was the same as most other places. Definitely has everything you need and one of the best places to completely unwind.

A much more peaceful beach holiday that at neighbouring Uppaveli, so if you want to get away from the crowds, it’s a perfect spot. The surrounding countryside looks beautiful too - I wish we’d have had more time to explore. We ate at Sara’s fish restaurant, where the seafood kottu & prawn curry were delicious.
