"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...

Recent Reviews in Uppuveli

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

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

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!"
