Despite the non stopping rain for days and days, our stay in Amanta Beach was just perfect. Everything is as shown on the photos and written in the description and actually there is much more. Slightly out of the village, just right on the private beach, with a huge garden and a cute swimming pool, you will be offered very tasty breakfasts and dinners.. The rooms and the private gardens have everything you may need. And those stylish decorations! I need to mention also the very lovely staff who make you feel very welcome and still manage to give you the privacy you want in such a place. It is not the cheapest, but absolutely worth the value.

Excellent hospitality received from Cardamon hotel- Nilaveli. I was offered personalized service for everything from room to food. My only worries that I could spend for only one night which is not enough to experience the total value of this nice hotel. Keep it up Cardamon Nilaveli Hotel.

    I liked the small hotel we stayed in on the beach front (Mithra Paradise) and the semi-private beach. A real gem if you're looking for a quiet romantic place. Much better than the big faceless commercial hotels. I would recomemmend the small guest houses in the whole of SL for this reason as the service is exceptional and they are usually family-run so they put a lot of love and effort into pleasing their guests. No mosquitoes in July. Avoid the dolphin watching 'chasing' tours. Loads of boats making a big noise and running over the dolphins. Poor animals. You only glimpse them for a few seconds and the boat ride is hell on your back. Try the snorkelling instead.

    A much more peaceful beach holiday that at neighbouring Uppaveli, so if you want to get away from the crowds, it’s a perfect spot. The surrounding countryside looks beautiful too - I wish we’d have had more time to explore. We ate at Sara’s fish restaurant, where the seafood kottu & prawn curry were delicious.

    Nilaveli is the perfect beach if you want peace and quiet , not many shops or facilities about, a few ok restaurants near by some expensive for Sri Lanka even more pricey than England, would need to travel 15km by local Tuk Tuk to find a good choice in Trincomalee-Nilaveli-Pulmodai which around 2000 rupees each way

    Very soft golden sand. Sea was not rough during our stay. Snorkeling trips are arranged by guides to nearby Pigeon Island. Pristine corrals and species. May be less restaurants along the beach, and not much of public facilities like toilets and wheelchair access etc

    Nilaveli has a lot to offer.

    Nilaveli has a lot to offer. The lower part of the beach closer to Trincomalee is very much like Bali or Goa with lots of accommodation including budget friendly options. It has many small cafes and restaurants right on the beach. There are also many dive shops offering diving experiences at Pigeon Island just off the coast. The upper end of the beach is more secluded and has fewer beach cafes and bars. This is where the larger more upmarket Nilaveli Beach Hotel is located.

    This hotel is right on the beach and has its own private area, which is an added bonus. The location is ideal for scuba diving and dolphin watching, as diving agencies can easily be reached by waking along the beach. We really enjoyed having breakfast, lunch and dinner on the beach. The cocktails were good and the food was generous. The staff were really nice and helpful. They played music in the evening, which added to the hotel's good atmosphere.

    The cabanas are beautifully located with clean beds and air conditioning, the beach which is nicely equipped is fantastic, the restaurant (though much more expensive than anywhere else we’d eaten in Sri Lanka) serves delicious food and drinks. The staff are very friendly and helpful. You can easily reach the Trincomalee or Uppuveli by tuk tuk or organize a snorkeling trip to a nearby coral reef.

    The location in Nilaveli is perfect. The beach is 5 minutes walking. It's a very quiet area, perfect to relax. The home stay has a good vibes atmosphere, with a garden with "hamacas", and full day open kitchen. The staff was nice and friendly. The room was very cheap and it has all the basic things you may need. I arrived very early and they stored my luggage, also in the departure day.

    We stayed in 4 of the 6 bungalows at the Luna Beach hotel which were basic, clean and with thoughtful touches such as the plug socket and small shelf right next to the bed for a phone. Nilavelli beach was a short walk away which offered plenty of local charm and the more cosmopolitan area of Uppuveli beach was a short drive away. The host, Savi, was always available and extremely helpful.

    Ocean front has very clean and comfortable rooms. Two bed rooms, two bathrooms, large lounge, and full kitchen in a separate room. It was great being able to spread out as a family in a comfortable and clean space. The pool was really good and the hotel grounds large and green. There is also direct access to the beach. Nilaveli beach is a great chilled out place.
