Fantastic spot in Nilaveli beach! Would recommend for anyone travelling there.
Pros:

Staff were incredibly friendly and supportive in preparing the bedroom to celebrate the birthday of my partner. They provided access to a taxi service. The breakfast was traditional and tasty. less than 5 minutes walk to beach. Fantastic pool to bathe in too.

Cons:

In a weird area of the neighborhood. close to the market area and the streets are poorly lit to get to the hotel. Shower pressure wasn't strong.

Pros:

Ich mag es bescheiden und fahre immer wieder gerne in dieses Hotel, um mich auszuruhen. Es gibt kein Frühstück oder sonstiges Essen. Ich habe einen kleinen Kühlschrank und ich nutze morgens den raumfahrenden "Bäcker" oder esse zuvor gekauftes (Joghurt, Früchte, Gerichte- kalt). Kaffee, Tee kann man auf Anfragen erhalten.

Man ist sehr freundlich im Hotel und man kann nach allem fragen.

Den Pool kann man gut benutzten.

Die Lage ist nur 2 Minuten vom Strand entfernt. Viele Restaurant (auch mit Frühstück) sind in der Nähe.

Cons:

Das Hotel könnte hier und da Reparaturen draußen gebrauchen. Der Preis ist im Vergleich relativ hoch, aber für Touristen durchaus ok.

Największą zaletą jest basen i lokalizacja.
Pros:

Hotel ma najlepsze dni za sobą, jednak jest w dobrej lokalizacji niedaleko plaży i ma bardzo fajny basen. Łóżka są bardzo wygodne. Obsluga jest bardzo miła i nastawiona na zadowolenie klienta.

Cons:

Pokoje są duże, ale wymagają odświeżenia. Łazienka wymaga remontu.

Pros:

The manager at Cresent Sea was charming, thoughtful and very helpful. He went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The pool was particularly good, clean and big enough for lap swimming. Nice and close to the beach.

Cons:

Softer lighting in the room would be good.

Pros:

Rapport qualité prix très bon. Très proche de la place et d'une école de plongée, balade en bateau... Plusieurs restaurants autour. Parfois, il y a un "disco bus' qui s'installe à proximité de la plage. Très bonnes vacances.

Buena opcion para Nilaveli
Pros:

La ubicacion, a escasos 100m de la increible playa de Nilaveli y sus chiringuitos al lado, y su piscina.
Personal super-amable dispuestos a facilitarte todo.
Servicio de alquiler de motos muy economico, la mejor opcion para ir a Trincomalee y visitar alrededores.
Por calidad precio, muy recomendable.

Cons:

Habitaciones poco cuidadas, sabanas viejas y toallas sucias.
No tiene wifi.

Pros:

Dichtbij het strand en genoeg restaurants in de buurt. Prima verblijf als je 1 nacht zou blijven.

Cons:

Het verblijf was sfeerloos, komt vooral door gebruik van TL verlichting. Het personeel zat heel de dag op de telefoon spelletjes te spelen, had weinig oog voor de gasten. De badkamer had beter schoongemaakt mogen worden.

Pros:

Nous avons apprécié les extérieurs : jardin et piscine. L’emplacement est également à souligner car très proche des plages.

Cons:

Les chambres ne sont pas à la hauteur du reste : la propreté ainsi que l’aménagement des chambres est à améliorer (très peu d’équipements, pas de lumière naturelle et peu d’aération).

Pros:

Bon rapport qualité prix pour un hôtel situé à 75 mètres de la magnifique plage de Nilaveli. Le jardin de l'hôtel est très bien entretenu et très agréable. La piscine est très belle et l'eau plutôt de qualité par rapport aux autres établissements que nous avons visités durant notre séjour au SRI LANKA. (sans atteindre la qualité d'une eau cristalline comme en Europe)
Le personnel a été très gentil et a répondu à toutes nos questions et demandes.

Cons:

Les chambres ne sont absolument pas décorées et manque d'aménagement (par exemple absence de table de chevet). Le personnel m'a dit que des rénovations devaient avoir lieu très prochainement...si c'est le cas, ça sera un véritable plus pour cet hotel qui a un potentiel très important.
