There were a couple of things that were not great -especially for a resort that you are paying a premium price for 1. Check in process was protracted and clumsy We were told that you can pay cash in USD … but when given we’re told a couple of 100 dollar notes were unacceptable -ie not going to be accepted in SL bank although the notes were changed in Australian bank! Then when we tried paying in USD via credit card. Their credit card machine didn’t accept this. So finally we paid in LKR 2. Stayed for 2 nights and wanted to use the gym but this was not available -undergoing renovations 3. Property doesn’t have driver accomodation

This is Uber Luxary with some rooms having private beach access Staff were great especially in the restaurants and beach/pool bars

The ac in the room was quite noisy at night and it would have been nice to be able to direct it away from the bed.

The staff were all fabulous. They were very kind and friendly from the moment we arrived. We really loved chatting to them all. We liked the jungle around our room (as we saw beautiful butterflies and heard the birds) but also appreciated the quick access to the beach. Sadly storms were present whilst we were there but it was still a fabulous experience. Thanks to Ishara for making sure we were happy, Danu for showing me the crocodile and all the guys and girls in the restaurant and bar, and at reception.

A beach bar looked very deserted and didn’t have much to offer.

Beautiful design of the hotel, very comfortable rooms, but most of all friendly staff, especially Manoj, Tharshika and Mithila.

People smoking in the bar area even though it was open sided and well ventilated.

Very good villas with excellent staff and very good food.

The hotel was in a good location with a private beach. The decor was nice, rooms were very spacious and modern. We always had services available to us. The choice of breakfast was excellent and the variety on offer was very diverse. The staff were excellent in attending to any queries. The lifeguard on the beach was also very friendly and provided good recommendations. We enjoyed it so much that we might try one of their other locations on our next visit.

Wonderful location and jungle experience, excellent staff who were really friendly and kind to the wildlife as well as the guests

Only negative being the lack of fishing trips from the hotel even though they are advertised online. We were told the hotel had stopped them due to lack of interest.

Liked everything about Jungle Beach. Beautiful location. Beautiful villas with both great outdoor and indoor showers. The staff were exceptionally professional abd at the same time helpful and friendly.

Really nothing to not like! Just do not forget your flash light at night, there will be insects and animals around. There was a snake at the beach, so take your beach shoes! Can’t blame the hotel for it, it’s nature!

It IS a JUNGLE resort! It is intelligently well built around the trees and mangroves, even the swimming pool matches and gives jungle vibe. A jungle vibe cannot be complete without animals around: squirrels at the pool, small turtles, crabs, but the best: from the lagoon view suite: view on the crocodiles and so many different kinds of birds. Pristine beach but it wasn’t as sandy white as in the pictures, that really depends on the season. Great staff! From the moment you reach the hotel, at the bar, at the restaurants, at the spa, the staff is friendly and ready to help. Excellent food! Breakfast is not buffet but à la carte, it fits an eco friendly approach. Quite some variety. Same for dinner. A must for seafood lovers. Special thanks to Mitila and the executive Chef Chandika, for preparing some local vegetarian not-on-the-card dishes for us. Very much appreciated.

The hotel was beautiful with well appointed chalets, which were spacious and thoughtfully decorated. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach which has a cafe for hotel guests. Trincomalee town is a short distance away. Although the cuisine is predominantly aimed at Western tourists Prabodha and Nipun made sure our requests for local cuisine were catered for.

A lot of the sand on the beach is black which is apparently due to Ilmenite. It does detract a little from the aesthetics. If you want to eat out, you must expect a 20 minute drive to Nilaveli. Best to eat in. The restaurant, including breakfast, is excellent.

We stayed in a beach chalet and had our private path of 20 metres through the bush onto the beach. The setting was stunning. Likewise the room was spacious and very well appointed. There was a shower in the bathroom and a second outdoor one, and we enjoyed our private verandah. The beach chalets are somewhat more expensive than the lagoon and jungle chalets but for us our room was definitely worth the difference. The main building is cleverly woven into nature and fits snugly round the pool. The beach stretches a long way to the north and is effectively exclusive to the hotel.

Nothing I can fault it for.

Beautiful location and pool amongst the trees and a private beach. Gym is a nice touch and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing after a lot of travelling. Great to wind down and soak up the sun.

There ought to be mention of the black sand, or a photograph, as our initial view of the beach from the North end was not good.

We loved it! Exactly what we thought we were getting and more, once the problem of our broken air con was fixed. A bottle of Champagne for our trouble and moved to a new room. Food and staff were amazing too

The only thing was the price was a bit on a higher side.

It was set up beautifully within the nature and jungle. Felt more closer to nature.

Taxi to Trinconomalee China bay airport was a little pricey for Sri Lanka at 80$ for a 1 hour journey We used lots of cars, organised by hotels, previously which were much more reasonably priced.

It was very peaceful and a lovely location amongst the trees. We had a lagoon cabin which was very nice. Could see a baby crocodile most mornings bathing in the sun. Staff lovely.

Didn’t even use the beautiful pool but might look bigger than it is. It caters well for families with kids and perhaps less so for adults. not really a problem and did not impact the stay, just a description of what it looks like.

One of a kind! Food was a major highlight: best breakfast with many options, dinner by the beach was wonderful too. Beach is calm and completely empty apart from hotel (beach is not as nice as neighboring Nilaveli but is still great). Lush green and open-air spaces make it super nice. Most friendly and attentive service. Room was excellently designed, spacious and very comfortable. It’s a relatively large place but never feels crowded.
