We had the feeling that there was a lack of staff and that the chef (mr Silva) had too many jobs at the same time. He was still very nice and helpful.

The cabin was very comfortable, cozy and clean. It was at walking distance from the beach. The beach was a bit deserted, no bars or chairs to sit. But that made the hotel also very calming. Mr. Silva immediately rented a scooter for us. He cooked an amazing meal for us and made delicious breakfast, which made our stay.

The accommodations were wonderful with a spacious room and bathroom, a private porch to sit out on, pretty gardens, and right on the beach. A much nicer stay than in trincomalee!!. The meals were outstanding! Rajith is an excellent chef and makes a wonderful breakfast and dinner, and is happy to share recipes and cooking techniques. He personally ensures everything is as you need it for your stay and went out of his way to take care of us. I would definitely stay at Tottam again... and highly recommend it!!

We had an incredible stay! The location is a dream for beach lovers, just steps from the water. The chef’s breakfast and dinner were fantastic, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience, always friendly and ready to assist with anything we needed. The place was spotless and well-maintained, making us feel comfortable and right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, beachside escape! A special thanks to Chef Silva!

Location not ideal as, in order to get into the centre you need to get a cab or tuk tuk. This hotel is a good option if you're also hiring a car or moped, if you want easy access to the centre of Trincomalee then the location probably won't work

Lovely hotel and really attentive staff. The private beach was fantastic and food was wonderful

Room cleaning could have been better - we came across cobwebs, dust. The rooms didn't get an everyday cleaning service.

Tottam beach is a little gem at the beachfront. Comfy beds, amazing breakfast with many options. Staff and service is great.

More frequent room cleaning would have been nice but not a major issue.

It has a lovely rustic charm and is set in a nice garden in a quiet area, right next to a long stretch of beach. However it’s not particularly close to the town centre of uppuvelli (rent a bike or get Tuk tuks from the hotel!). The rooms are basic yet comfortable and cosy with good aircon. The breakfasts and evening meals from the chef were delicious and very fairly priced considering its full freshly caught seafood, I’m not sure why there are comments saying it’s overpriced etc because I would say it’s very fairly priced for what you get!

Bathroom needs maintenance. Limited food options for vegetarians. Far away from most of restaurant and shops.

Right on the beach. Very good views from some rooms. Helpful staff.

The was nothing that we didn't dislike however the property could be 10/10 with a few tweaks. It would of been nice to have a fridge in the room. Also there is no proper bar or restaurant on-site however the property does service breakfast, lunch and dinner but there is not an actual menu to order from. Also they do have some soft drinks you can purchase but it is limited.

Rooms were clean and comfortable with air-conditioning and hot water in the shower (not that it was needed) There was also tea amd coffee facilities and the are was peaceful and looked out to a lovely unspoilt, quiet beach. Also loved the 2 dogs on site, they were so friendly and made the place more homely. The staff very very attentive and nothing was ever any trouble. We ate breakfast here twice and this was also lovely. Staff were also happy to arrange tuk tuks and arrange for us to go to a resturant when we arrived to get food and it was beautiful. We would stay here again.

Wifi wasnt great in our room but believe nobody else had this issue. The beach was ok but not as nice as other beaches closer to the town

A quiet relaxing stay. Enjoyed the food and chef catered gluten free easily which i appreciated.

You’ll have to get a motorbike or transport into the main area where there’s restaurants and more going on. We hired a motorbike which was fun and easy to get around.

This place was incredible and so nice to stay right on the beach. The rooms were clean and stunning. The food at the location which you can order is a huge feast of fresh foods. The guys working there were so lovely and helpful.

There were a lot of animals in the room. Mosquitos, frog, cockroach, ... It was okay for us but I can understand people do not like it. The shower need fixing.

The location is amazing. Private beach. So beautifull. Wish i would have booked to stay longer! Good AC.
