Resorts in Nilaveli

Lisa United Kingdom

A lovely small resort tucked away from the rest of the village. The staff were extremely friendly and kept the grounds and property beautiful.

Holly United Kingdom

The property was lovely, with a great pool and games available (board games, archery and volleyball). Close to a beautiful beach. Staff went above and beyond and were really helpful and friendly. Room had everything we needed. A little remote but staff were so helpful with providing tuk tuks and helping us with finding a taxi for onward travel. Would recommend!

108 Palms is an absolute gem. I had booked elsewhere but the government visit in Trincomalee precluded staying closer. And I am so glad it did! Greeted at the gate, low key administrative requirements. Super attentive staff. The restaurant served delicious meals with smiles. The pool is delightful-Just right for relaxing near the amenities. And then a short stroll (150 meters) to the beach. The sand is clean and easy to walk on. The water was photo blue - straight from a postcard. My first 2 days the wind blew and there waves were breaking fairly close to shore. The last days - nearly calm. And the beach in both directions was nearly abandoned. A few fishermen going about their business. A few teens walking along from one place to another. That was it. Distance to town - about 15 minutes in car/tuk tuk. But other than for business reasons, I did not bother. When the bells ring during the day it is the Hindu temple just south of the resort - take the time to visit. It is an artistic wonder, so close to the saltwater yet so colorful. What a wonderful relaxing place to stay!! I hope to have a repeat visit. PS I did go scuba diving while in Trincomalee and highly recommend Epic Ocean Adventure, located in the commercial part of the town, 15 minutes from 108 Palms Resort.

The hotel is very good. Room is clean and spacious. The view on the bay is gorgeous. It’s relatively close to the beach and the ocean in this area is very clean and warm. We spent here 4 nights with our 3 years old son and we all had a wonderful time. The staff is very attentive. I especially want to highlight the man at the pool area and the guys from the restaurant, especially Kirujan , who was very helpful with all our needs. The food was delicious and varied. Definitely recommend this hotel. From what we’ve seen that’s probably the best resort in the area.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at J7 Villaj, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked into the lobby, we were greeted by warm and attentive staff who made us feel right at home. Not only that, we arrived close to 11pm and as we sat with a welcome drink, the manager came from home to welcome us personally. Now that is service. The room on the 2nd floor overlooking the pool was large, bright and clean. The plus was that the bed was so comfortable and ensured a good night’s sleep. Also, the comfortable chairs on the balcony were a great place to relax after a day at the beach with a nice cold drink. Talking of the beach, it’s only a 5min walk away and we were not disappointed. It has nice soft sand and has no garbage. There are plenty of sun loungers available at the various bars along the beach, usually for the price of a drink - but even that isn’t enforced that strongly. One of the highlights, though, of our stay was undoubtedly the dining experience at J7. The delightful food we won’t soon forget. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, each dish was expertly prepared and presented well. The attentive waitstaff made sure every dining experience was a memorable one. The prices, whether for food or drink, are also some of the lowest in the area and their portion sizes are very good. You definitely can’t go wrong. The popularity is also shared by the number of locals who eat and have parties here. As you know when travelling, always eat where the locals eat. As for the hotel’s location, it couldn’t have been better. It was conveniently situated near Trincomalee, making it easy for us to explore the city’s attractions. Additionally, the hotel’s manager helped organize motorbike rentals and side trips at prices that were the same or cheaper than we found on the street. The attention to detail and the commitment to guest satisfaction at J7 truly sets it apart.

Stayed at the end of rainy season so it was amazing value for money. Only a handful of other guests were present so the pool was almost empty most of the time. Also close to the beach.
