N/an everything was fantastic.

J7 Villaj resort was a fantastic place to stay! The pool was lovely and clean and perfect for cooling off. The Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious with very generous portions. The staff were all exceptional and always ready to help. The location was one of the best parts, close to the beach, great restaurants like rice and curry just around the corner etc. The property also had really good signage and was easy to find from the street.

We enjoyed 8 wonderful days at J7 Villaj. The food was amazing, we also enjoyed the delicious mango smoothies made fresh to order by Vivien who along with Juba from reception & Thurai who looked after the restaurant made our stay special. The hotel is located in an excellent area & good value for money, highly recommend.

The only slight negative was that the lounger cushions around the pool could be a little softer. But that is really trying to pick a fault with the place.

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.

Wifi was a bit spotty in the room. The sun loungers need some tlc, and the grass needs cutting around the pool but those are hardly deal breakers for me - just merely suggestions to give the best first impression when guests arrive.

In all honesty my stay here was lovely. From checking in with smiling welcoming staff, to being shown my lovely spacious clean room, to the food. I had a room on the second floor, big and spotlessly clean, a large bed that didn’t creak, and with all the amenities you’d expect - kettle, tea / coffee, refrigerator, safe, a/c, tv, hanging area. A good size bathroom with toiletries and a shower with plenty of hot water. I used the next day laundry service and that was fine also. Breakfast was delicious! I chose Sri Lankan for both mornings if my stay and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had lunch one day and that was equally as tasty, and not overpriced.

The rooms were quite noisy, which was a bit of a letdown. When I raised my concerns, they were more or less brushed off by the manager. Another issue was the inconsistent hot water supply in the shower.

We really enjoyed my stay at this lovely hotel. The size is just right, not too overwhelming with a manageable number of rooms. The pool and rooms were impeccably clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Additionally, the beach is just a 5-minute walk away, making it super convenient for daily outings.

The hotel was very nice and clean, located in a very central place a short walk to the beach and close to many restaurants. The staff were amazing - provided us with a late breakfast with no problem because we used to wake up late and even packed sandwiches for us when we needed to leave very early, taking care of everything we needed, and making us feel at home. They also have a very nice restaurant in site with very nice food and great prices. Highly recommended!

The noise of the keys. Very early in the morning, whenever someone leave the room, there is a annoying noise that woke us up.
