First of all, I have to praise the manager of the hotel. He always helped us with anything we needed, from checking us in early to organizing breakfast, booking activities and arranging transport. He also gave us tips for great snorkeling spots and good restaurants and made it possible for us to have rice and curry for breakfast instead of the usual choices. The hotel itself was also great. Just a few minutes from the beach and close to a variety of good restaurants. It was very clean and very well maintained. We felt very comfortable the whole 9 days we were there! It happened more than once that we met other tourists in town who were unhappy with their accommodation, but as for my boyfriend and I, we can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel!

This place is a little paradise! You wake up directly at your private beach. The room is big, the bed is comfortable, the bathroom is clean and there's air condition. The house itself is so pretty and decorated beautifully. It looks just like the pictures, or even better:) Mandy, the host, is such a sweetheart and gave us so many tips. They organized a privat boat pick-up to pigeon Island and borrowed us snorkeling equipment. The food they offer (besides breakfast you can order lunch/dinner/snacks/dessert anytime) is freshly home cooked and very delicious. So you don't even have to leave the place to look for food, which we really enjoyed since we visited in December (which is not season). We even had a little candlelight dinner right on the beach, which was so romantic and nice. Would highly recommend going there, if you are looking want some relaxing beach days!

Nice place near the beach. The sunrise is nice from the beach. Room is clean , bed comfy with mosquito net. Toilet in the room is clean with good water pressure. The owner can arrange almost any kind of activity due to his many contacts in the area. All this with very short notice.! Good food, one night we were lucky and given rice and tasty curry for free! Thanks! 👍

We came here for 5 days but ended up staying 10. You get good coffee, homemade bread and waffles for breakfast. Not to mention a good chat with the owner Mr. Seran, who really makes you feel welcome. He even brought pretty cakes from Trincomalee to celebrate the birthday of my twin girls. Rooms are clean and convinient and you are only 2 minutes from the beach. If you like diving, Pearl Divers are really close. And on the beach you find plenty of boats that can take you whale-watching or snorkelling. We are coming back!

    The location in Nilaveli is perfect. The beach is 5 minutes walking. It's a very quiet area, perfect to relax. The home stay has a good vibes atmosphere, with a garden with "hamacas", and full day open kitchen. The staff was nice and friendly. The room was very cheap and it has all the basic things you may need. I arrived very early and they stored my luggage, also in the departure day.

    We took extremely cheap room without AC for about 10 dolars for two persons for 1 night. We got what we paid for.... There was no problems just bring your own toilet paper...,.. Locality is good less than 5 minutes to the beach. There are few good restaurants near guesthouse too.

    We enjoyed the silence, harmony, friendliness and beautiful area in Amal’s Paradies! Perfect location to slow down and to discover Nilaveli, Trincomalee, Uppuveli,… Amal is a very nice host. Always helpful, available before and during our stay. We will def come back to this beautiful place. It was also very nice to see that the extremely lovable dog was allowed to have such a nice and quiet place to live. We really enjoyed his presence. a soul of an animal.

    Quiet and great location in Nilaveli, near the beach and a couple of good restaurants. The host and his family were very kind and helped us to arrange a scooter, snorkelling kits, breakfast, and other tips. Big, comfy, fresh and clean room. The little garden and terrace was perfect to chill out. We had a lovely time!
