Featuring a private beach area and garden, as well as a restaurant, Blue Wings Beach Hotel is located in Trincomalee. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The guest house features family rooms.

We stayed there for six days. We had a good experience with Mr. Prabha, his wife as well as the staff. We were very happy with the homely food. When we visit Trincomalee, we will definitely stay there again. The tariff was very moderate for the facilities provided. The location is easily accessible from the city and the beach.

Beautiful room and amazing staff, very friendly and helpful (helped us organizing activities, exchanging money, arranging a taxi to Yala…). The location was extremely convenient, very close to the beach and to the delicious restaurants in the area. A 2 min walk to the main road to find a Tuk Tuk to anywhere. We had a great time, great value for money!

Located in Trincomalee, Paris Garden Resort features accommodation with a pool with a view. The air-conditioned accommodation is 300 metres from Uppuveli beach, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 4.3 km from Kanniya Hot Springs.

We'd only booked for two nights but extended to four as we needed to rest and relax. Our room was of a reasonable standard, but on occasions it smelt of sewage. The bathroom sink and the shower drain haven't got 'U' bends so the smell is not prevented from escaping into the room. Shame as everything else was good. The electric shower worked well with hot water. The air conditioner worked well but there was something wrong with the remote control as it was tempremental and didn't work well. We stuck it on 30c and used the fan instead. It would be nice to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. However the main reason for our extended stay was the huge clean swimming pool which was brilliant. We had it mostly to ourselves as there are only six rooms and only five were let. Most people staying went out for most of the day leaving the pool to us. The water was warm too. My little thermometer read 33.4c. Overall a good place to stay lots of restaurants nearby and the beach is juat a stones throw away. The waste pipes just need 'U' bends to stop the smell.

    This stay was an extraordinary experience. The owner has a big heart for animals and rescued many cats and dogs. These are living in the property so make sure you are a pet lover too. You don’t have to interact with them but some of them might be curiously approaching you. I had a wonderful time there. Enjoyed every minute. Talked a lot to the host and the background of the homestay. Room (bed) was very comfortable and had A/C and fan.
