Nilaveli Beach Hotel, hotel in Nilaveli

This hotel is nestled on Nilavali Beach, a 10-minute boat ride from Pigeon Island. It offers free Wi-Fi in public areas, a large outdoor pool and spacious rooms with views of the ocean.

The crows were entering the breakfast area and diving into the tables and taking good. Several times my food was taken. Even at the other dining area near the beach side same thing, crows diving and grabbing food from plates. I had a crow dive into my cocktail twice. The staff knows about this problem they said, but no solution. Other hotels I’ve seen have put thin netting around the meal areas.

    This is a hidden gem, easily screened out if you were looking for 4 star plus. This place is a paradise if you are looking for a relaxing vacation and get trained in Scuba and get certification. Diving school at the edge of this property has all the gear you can rent for the day or you can bring your own. Instructors are experienced in local reefs and diving hot spots. Best food here is Sri Lankan food and fresh off the boat seafood. If you don't like spicy food, choices may be limited. My daughters, one of whom was a Vegan had plenty of choices.

    Nilaveli is a quiet place on the whole.

    Nilaveli is a quiet place on the whole. If you're into snorkeling....dolphin watching and whale watching then this is the ideal place for you. We stayed at an amazing boutique property called cbeyond nelaveli. The property has one of the cleanest Beaches if not the cleanest beach in the area. Also you get picked up at that beach itself for all the activities so it's very convenient. Also a must go place for a drink or swim is Beach lovers. There's actually a few really Beach bar's on this strip of beach. Vitamin Sea is a very cool Beach bar on the same beach.

    Nilaveli beach is great and you really need a vehicle to get around Nilaveli and to the Trinco town and Nilaveli beach, the hotel is perfect if you are there for relaxation and chill. I'm vegetarian hence beachside restaurant is not a perfect place to talk about food, however, the staff of Nilaveli Beach hotel did offer me some good local and international vegetarian dishes and the taste was good as well. You can do many activities there, but the time I was travelling was not ideal for any activities because of the COVID-19. It was more of a forceful stay to pass the day.

    Fabulous resort with excellent friendly staff.

    Fabulous resort with excellent friendly staff. Rooms are super clean and beds very comfortable. AC works great and there are fans as well. The food at the restaurant is a bit pricey but we managed to use the fridge in the room and have our driver take us to get snacks and breakfast foods so we ate only our dinner at the resort. The pool is wonderful, clean and there is plenty of shade. The beach also has shade. Beach towels and mats are provide for the pool and beach area so you don't need to take towels from the room. The staff are always asking if you need anything and always have a smile on their faces. This place is fantastic apart from the internet which is only in the area near the lobby and restaurant and is not always the best. Otherwise the resort is a 5 star in our opinion.

    I recommend everybody to go to a good hotel for your stay!

    I recommend everybody to go to a good hotel for your stay! Spend some more money but better stay in a good one. We stayed in Nilaveli Beach Front Condos. Nilaveli Beach is a super place. Enjoyed Lovely sunrise.unforgettable! Even we saw the sunset at kinniya on the same day. So it's fab! Pigeon island is a must place to go. You will see how much you love the almighty when going on that little boat. But on the way back its normal. Pregnant ladies...don't go in that boat. I suggest the Navy to have a kind of a big safety boat for travelling. Boat rate - 2000/- ( don't rent from anywhere else, not even from your hotel as it's run by a society) Tickets - we paid only 765/- for 6 Snorkeling rate - 600/- per set per person Don't get safety jackets as it's no use while Snorkeling. They charge 400/-. Don't hire a guide. They will just take you to a place telling you fairy tales. It's a safe place. Officials are there for any assistance. Only thing is you should keep some first aid as sometimes people will get cuts for corals. Enjoy coral and fish. But do not touch! No much places to eat in trinco though. So better have your food in the hotel itself. Our food was awesome at Beach front condos! Ohhh yet mouth watering. If not go to Dutch Bank closer to navy camp. Super clean food! If anyone need any clarification or help please do contact me for more details.

    The view! The whales! The dolphins! The reef sharks!

    The view! The whales! The dolphins! The reef sharks! The Turtles! The lagoon! The sea! Viability for days! Sunrises and sun sets! The town is lovely too!!! Use a tuk tuk and get him to take you to temples and around Trincomalee. Also look on tripadvisor for good food places! There are too many but you cant walk to them.

    Had the most incredible time at NN hotel! the location is perfect, right on the beach with private sun beds. The room was clean and ready for us early when we arrived. But the best part of the stay was the staff. They pulled out all the stops to make sure we had a great time, from doing fireworks and a cake for my friends birthday, to setting up a beach BBQ for dinner another night. We had such a great time we ended up extending our stay. If you are headed to Nilaveli you should stay here!!

    Very nice hotel, right on the beach with it's own private beach which is cleaned every day. Tranquil location. Nice big pool which is very clean. Dappled shade on the beach from the coconut palms make sunbathing very comfortable. Sunbeds and beach towels are provided. Manager and staff are fantastic. Can't find any faults. PADI dive centre next door and can get to pigeon island very easily from here. Food is pretty good in the restaurant. Very comfortable bed and quality linen

    The beach is very nice, right in front of pigeon Island. The rooms were big but old. The staff was very nice, especially those working in the restaurant. The breakfast buffet was pretty good with pancakes and french toasts too. Also the dinner was pretty good and it included a grilling station with fish and meat. On the beach they were building new beach ombrellas and more mantainance work was being done to improve the hotel.

    The beach front location is superb. We basically had the whole beach to ourselves. It was clean and free from rubbish. The location is a little out of Trincomalee but ok for us because we had a driver. Rashan and his wife were lovely hosts and ensured we had everything we needed. Our villa was comfortable and clean and well located with easy access to the beach. Breakfast on our second morning was great.

    The location of the hotel is like no other with the wide open space in the premises. The beach is by far the cleanest we've ever seen and ideal for a morning or evening dip. The staff were very courteous, friendly and hospitable making us feel welcome. The food was tasty with a perfect blend of spices picked from the garden. All in all, the perfect place to kick back and relax.

    Beach and Sri Lankan food on offer were excellent. One of the better places to have Sri Lankan Crab and lobster without paying too much. Pool area and garden with nice shades for hammocks was very relaxing. Outdoor showers were simple but convenient after a trip to the beach. Dive center is one of the best where you can rent snorkeling and scuba gear and guides.

    The room was spacious and clean. The beds and mattresses were simple but good enough to sleep. It is a really short walk to the beach and calm at night, beautiful palm tree and open space in front of the bungalow with air con. Nice white interior. The owners are really so kind, helpful and welcoming, we felt at home. The kids loved the two goats in the garden.

    Lovely, friendly family, especially the mum who made a good breakfast. Great location very close to the beach. Nice to have a balcony in peaceful surroundings. It was great that we could easily organise our trip to pigeon island through the hotel. We really loved Nilaveli. It is a lot quieter and more authentic than other beach areas around here.
