"Great central location in uppuveli. Easy walk to beach. Big breakfast every Morning but it wasn’t fabulous. However it set us up for the day. Not sure we needed the pool as the sea was so close and warm. But families were loving it and it was Nice and clean. Water went off every day for a period as did electricity- the electricity I think was all of uppuveli. Toilet broke on first day and was mended within the hour. I would say good value for the price. Budget travellers would find this property...

Top Thampalakamam Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Thampalakamam

Havana Club Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, but the bathroom was not. The room was not cleaned during the week except once on request. Hence, the bathroom had an unpleasant odor. The shower door could not be closed. The whole building needs an uplift. Looks old, and not as attractive as the other hotels. Pool was good and clean. Staff were very obliging and helpful. Nothing was too hard for them."

Nilaveli Royal Paradise

8/10 Good

"Great friendly staff!!"

C Beyond Nilaveli

10/10 Excellent

"A truly wonderful stay on an incredible site. The rooms were so spacious (the bathroom was the size of my bedroom at home) and incredibly clean. The site itself was beautiful with a lovely walk past the pool, through some trees and directly out onto a beautiful private beach. The natural pool is also stunning to sit in front of and watch all the wildlife. which includes hundreds of dragonflies meaning we didn’t see a single mosquito while we were there. They do dinner every night on the beach which is a once in a lifetime experience to eat under the stars on a beach this lovely. Staff were great with excellent service, always incredibly attentive during all meals and excellent room turnover downs too. The food was great but the menu is on the smaller side so if you’re staying for more than 3 days you may want to pop into Nilaveli for some dinners which is very quick and easy to do on a tuk tuk. Would stay again in a heartbeat, it’s such a peaceful beautiful place."

Amaranthe Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Amaranthe Bay is a super nice hotel, the rooms are very spacious, clean and well maintained. The location is great and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. The guests relations executive, Sri Mayuran, was super nice, helpful and friendly, he made our stay that much better. Also, great thanks to the chef who cooked the fish we fished for us :) it was an awesome gesture."

Uppuveli Beach by DSK

8/10 Good

"I think not much items to select for the breakfast compared to other hotels, that's poor. I already told to the staff about that. , . and closing pool at 9pm is also not a good thing. we couldn't enjoy much . the staff is great, very helpful"

Oceanfront Condos Nilaveli by ICC

10/10 Excellent

"A stunning beach front apartment! We had a great time here. Would love to visit again!"

Trinco Blu by Cinnamon

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel on the beach and I think all rooms face out to the pool and beach. The pool and property are nice. Lots of loungers available. The beach is very clean in front of the property, but less so as you walk along the beach. The security keeps the beach sellers at bay which is appreciated. Lots of food options in very easy walking distance. I didn't try the buffet restaurant but the other one was respectable."

Jungle Beach an Uga Experience - Trincomalee

10/10 Excellent

"If you’re looking for a truly secluded escape, Jungle Beach delivers. Far from the more developed parts of or Uppavelli, it’s wonderfully private — just you, the jungle, and one of the most pristine beaches I’ve ever set foot on. The sand is very soft, the sunsets paint the sky in gorgeous paddle pop colours, and the early morning walks are magical and peaceful. Breakfasts were a highlight with the most wonderful fresh juice (try the wood apple & passion fruit!) and a full menu to order from. Evenings on the beach with fresh seafood were equally special, and the staff were genuinely warm throughout. They also helped us arrange a bike rental to explore the beach area in Uppuveli, which was a great way to see a bit more of the region. Wildlife encounters were unforgettable: langur monkeys swinging through the trees off our balcony of the garden room, Sri Lankan squirrels with the cutest pink noses coming right up to us, and even a crocodile spotted on the grounds. A few heads ups: it’s a very family-friendly hotel with lots of kids, so the pool fills up fast, however the beach loungers are the place to be. Midst wear flip flops died to the beach as the sand gets seriously hot in summer. Feedback: The beach bar plays the same playlist on repeat which would have been nice if it played more varied music. A perfect blend of beach and jungle — highly recommend!"
