The range of reviews of the Nilaveli Beach made me a bit nervous but in the event we enjoyed every aspect of this lovely place. From our rooms all we could see was the beach and sea through the trees - and the Beach Restaurant in the distance. The staff - from the room cleaner to the pool attendant to... More

It was a wonderful experience, but seriously if you want great sea food srilanka is the place to go, the beach and the pigeons island was amazing.I did alot of snorkeling, the food was awesome and a great place for a bonfire under the starry nights,caught a few shooting stars.

This hotel is located along way from Trincomalee town and very close to the beach. It has some good rooms and great facilities. I have to say the quality has decreased since I last visited, before the tsunami, in 2003. You'd think it should be better but the the food variety and choices have decreased. Maybe it's because of the... More

This is a lovely hotel amongst the trees and coconut palms of the east coast of Sri Lanka. Lovely pool, good food (esp if just B and B rate and you use the beachside bar - great jumbo prawns, for lunch and or supper) and very friendly helpful staff. Stunning beach and nature resort island to visit across the bay.... More

Excellent location on the beach, vast garden surrounding the rooms. Lunch served practically on the beach, very pleasant swimming pool and not too many people. Very comfortable rooms and excellent staff.

My recent visit to Nilaveli Hotel with two professionals from Canada, Calgary ,Mount Royal University was a memorable one. We had a fantastic time. Food was good. Restaurant staff were really good. Some issues with bathroom and telephone but they were well attended and repaired soon. swimming pool area has to be cleaned early if guests needs to have an... More

This is piece of paradise, as nilaveli have 2 or 3 hotels, this one the best. Not so expensive, have wonderful beach and quiet. Rooms are not bad and clean. Service is friendly. A lot of chipmunks on the trees, get some nuts for them. BUT to get here is tough mission. By train takes 12 hours, with multiple stops,... More

We stayed at the Nilaveli Beach Hotel for 4 nights at the beginning of February 2013. This was our third visit to Nilaveli beach (the first being in 1999 and the second also pre-Tsunami in 2003). The hotel was nice then but it has undergone improvements since the Tsunami damage. We had a ground floor room at the beach front... More

Perfectly acceptable as a beach hotel, but nothing special. The basic rooms have no safe or TV and many have no sea view. The bathrooms are very basic (my bathroom light did not work and was not fixed despite asking twice). Lovely pool and poolside bar, though food is a tad expensive and music repetitive. Surprisingly, there's no spa or... More
