Stayed here for 3 nights, great location and good pool, we had to change room because of a damp problem, then the room we changed to had mould issues in bathroom and a lot of dust around the room, not what you expect for the amount of money paid, then to top it on our last night, we had money...

It was just fantastic! It's especially the ambience that we liked so much. It felt like making a time switch of 20-30 years back (but not old or in a bad condition, the resort was built just after the tsunami 5-6 years ago). We stayed 6 nights and had the resort almost completely for ourself (only 10 more guests on... More

The beaches around Trincomalee are still very quiet and idyllic, but all looks set to change in the aftermath of the war. We enjoyed our two day stay here, the room was clean, comfortable and very well air conditioned. Rooms are grouped round a good sized clean pool, and very close to the beach which seems endless, with a great... More

We spent two nights here. It is not top end luxury but is still a good medium sized resort , nice beach areas with great views of Pigeon island. Room was large and comfortable and a nice pool. Food was good with a decent buffet and menu. The main complaint was that the boat trips on offer seem a tad... More

I stayed here December in 2011. I was really excited to visit Trinco, mosstly because this place was under LTTE and because this place is still unexplored and mostly commercially unexploited. This place thugh is a long drive from Colombo, but the scenery on the way makes it worth the long drive. There are some beautiful patches of back waters... More

What a little gem this place is. Located 20km out of Trincomalee this small hotel is on the shores of the Indian Ocean without anything much around it. The hotel has been restored and added on following the Tsunami and we had the good fortune of being allocated a room on the ground floor directly facing the ocean with swaying... More

This is a small size hotel, which is ideal for a family vacation. The rooms have all the basic amenities provided and the beach is a short walk away and swimming is safe during the season only.. The staff are friendly and courteous and anxious to please. The buffet meals are not extensive, but the fare provided is more than... More

Pigeon Island Resort is a nice hotel. The set-up is curious. None of the rooms will have ocean view as they all face out into a quad and the window looks out into wooded area. However, the pool is nice. The beach is nicer, although not swimmable - at least it wasn't in December. The food was about the best... More
