Jaffna

10/10 Excellent

The Fox Jaffna resort was fantastic! My uncle and I (from Australia) stayed for two nights in April and were extremely pleased with both the hotel and the dining services. The Manager, Mr Trevine, and his supervisor, Mr Amit, offered very courteous and outstanding service. Jaffna is improving as a tourist attraction, but it still needs more attention. The roads are in excellent shape, and it is worthwhile to take a drive to the north. Cheers
