We stayed three nights at Nature Beach Huts and from the moment of the booking to our leave everything was fantastic! Brenda took so good care of us! We got the best route to get to the hotel via WhatsApp, got sight-seeing suggestions and Brenda was open for all of our questions. The Huts are made with so much love for detail. The close by beach is small but the water is wonderful. Separated from the oceans by a ring of stones, the laguna is 60 cm deep max and it’s so warm! Brenda is a fantastic cook. We stayed in for breakfast and dinner. We did a tour through Trincomalee with her brother as well as a nightly jungle walk. Both was really interesting and he explained a lot about Hindu temples and the wildlife.

The previous review was mistakenly posted for a different property. This is the correct one. I stayed here in July with a last-minute booking, but the warm welcome made me feel right at home. Upon arrival, they helped me park and quickly showed me to my room, which was very clean. There’s no air conditioning, but a pleasant breeze comes through the window, and the mosquito net allowed me to sleep comfortably even though I usually dislike bugs. The hotel is in a great location—just a few minutes’ walk to the beach. Nearby, there are shops selling beer, wine, and ice, as well as a delicious and affordable Sri Lankan restaurant right next door (takeout available). There’s no fridge in the room, but the owner kindly let me use their family fridge to chill my drinks. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They were always around and ready to assist with anything. As a guest, I could book snorkeling tours to Pigeon Island and dolphin & whale watching trips at a special rate. Even same-day bookings were arranged smoothly, including transport to the meeting point. Communication via WhatsApp was easy and efficient. I had a wonderful stay and will definitely come back next time I visit Sri Lanka. Thank you to the owner and the whole family for a lovely time!

    The location next to the beach was ideal plus we enjoyed using their beachside restaurant and bar. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and even arranged a birthday cake for my daughter’s birthday. Would highly recommend staying here if you can get a room (as I think they book up quickly).

    We had a wonderful one-night stay at this hotel. The white sandy beach is just a short 100m walk away, making it an ideal location. The rooms were very clean and decent, and the WiFi was super fast, perfect for staying connected. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby, adding to the convenience. Overall, a great place to stay at a reasonable price.

    Highlight of the hotel for me was the pool. It was a great size and very clean and well maintained. The hotel overall was spotless and the staff did everything to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The location was great for access to the beach and the best of the beachfront restaurants. Well worth a visit

    Location to the beach was brilliant, about a 30 minute stroll to uppuveli beach, where nice cheap restaurants can be found for both lunch and dinner. The view from the balcony over the sea is wonderful. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful when planning excursions such as whale watching and Pigeon Island. They also organise tuk tuks where you get the most fantastic driver in Kumar, who will chat to you and offer to take you whenever you want to go (even at 5am).
