Great service, delicious food. Staff was always looking out for ways to be helpful and make us feel at home, which we did! Cozy peaceful place, away from the buzz but easy to reach.

Nice and very modern rooms. Close to the beach and lots of restaurants. Don't let yourself be fooled by the picture of the garage door. It's not a garage at all but a proper hotel 😅

Great place ! Really ! Big room, nice setting, superb view from the balcony. Right on a clean sandy beach, next to a PADI center offering also many activities for non divers. Location was perfect for us (away from the village, but 2 min tuk tuk ride from shops). Kids were very happy with the pool, me happy with the cold beer, wife happy with the ocean. If ever back in the area we will do it again.

Perfect place to spend a relaxing holiday at the beach. Beautiful, large, comfortable, and well equipped rooms, excellent service on all departments, beautiful beach, very good restaurant with varied menu. For breakfast (we always took Sri Lankan) and were offered different dishes for each of the three days we spent there. You are out of town and therefore will need transportation to go anywhere. This can be easily arranged through the hotel (that has also a private tuk-tuk), but honestly, apart from a lovely three hours tour of Trincomalee city, the only thing we really wanted was to enjoy the peace and beauty of the resort. Even with heavy rain it was wonderful to sit in the room's veranda. Tip: if you are an early riser you can watch the local fishermen in the process of retrieving the nets with the catch. Fascinating!

    I liked the small hotel we stayed in on the beach front (Mithra Paradise) and the semi-private beach. A real gem if you're looking for a quiet romantic place. Much better than the big faceless commercial hotels. I would recomemmend the small guest houses in the whole of SL for this reason as the service is exceptional and they are usually family-run so they put a lot of love and effort into pleasing their guests. No mosquitoes in July. Avoid the dolphin watching 'chasing' tours. Loads of boats making a big noise and running over the dolphins. Poor animals. You only glimpse them for a few seconds and the boat ride is hell on your back. Try the snorkelling instead.

    A much more peaceful beach holiday that at neighbouring Uppaveli, so if you want to get away from the crowds, it’s a perfect spot. The surrounding countryside looks beautiful too - I wish we’d have had more time to explore. We ate at Sara’s fish restaurant, where the seafood kottu & prawn curry were delicious.

    Nilaveli is the perfect beach if you want peace and quiet , not many shops or facilities about, a few ok restaurants near by some expensive for Sri Lanka even more pricey than England, would need to travel 15km by local Tuk Tuk to find a good choice in Trincomalee-Nilaveli-Pulmodai which around 2000 rupees each way

    Very soft golden sand. Sea was not rough during our stay. Snorkeling trips are arranged by guides to nearby Pigeon Island. Pristine corrals and species. May be less restaurants along the beach, and not much of public facilities like toilets and wheelchair access etc

    Nilaveli has a lot to offer.

    Nilaveli has a lot to offer. The lower part of the beach closer to Trincomalee is very much like Bali or Goa with lots of accommodation including budget friendly options. It has many small cafes and restaurants right on the beach. There are also many dive shops offering diving experiences at Pigeon Island just off the coast. The upper end of the beach is more secluded and has fewer beach cafes and bars. This is where the larger more upmarket Nilaveli Beach Hotel is located.

    Cardamon is a nice hotel in beautiful Nilaveli, right on the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean with great views from the balcony. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, always polite and paying attention to detail to ensure we had a comfortable stay. The pool is kept really clean and perfect for relaxing whilst listening to the waves on the beautiful beach. We would highly recommend this hotel and hope to visit again in the future!

    Everything was fine – the rooms were beautiful, although the bathroom was a bit outdated. The rest of the facilities were nice. Our room was located right next to the pool, which was clean and set in a lovely garden. The beach was just a short walk away. Breakfast was good, though we did miss a bit of the typical Sri Lankan hospitality. The trip to Pigeon Island that we booked through the hotel was wonderful. Thank you!

    A lovely hotel with a big garden and swimming pool in Nilaveli right by the beach. Breakfast was amazing and different each day (we went for local options). The staff were very friendly and accommodation (Thank you especially to Prashanth). We stayed in the chalet room which was closer to the pool and had a nice terrace.
