We stayed three nights at Nature Beach Huts and from the moment of the booking to our leave everything was fantastic! Brenda took so good care of us! We got the best route to get to the hotel via WhatsApp, got sight-seeing suggestions and Brenda was open for all of our questions. The Huts are made with so much love for detail. The close by beach is small but the water is wonderful. Separated from the oceans by a ring of stones, the laguna is 60 cm deep max and it’s so warm! Brenda is a fantastic cook. We stayed in for breakfast and dinner. We did a tour through Trincomalee with her brother as well as a nightly jungle walk. Both was really interesting and he explained a lot about Hindu temples and the wildlife.

The previous review was mistakenly posted for a different property. This is the correct one. I stayed here in July with a last-minute booking, but the warm welcome made me feel right at home. Upon arrival, they helped me park and quickly showed me to my room, which was very clean. There’s no air conditioning, but a pleasant breeze comes through the window, and the mosquito net allowed me to sleep comfortably even though I usually dislike bugs. The hotel is in a great location—just a few minutes’ walk to the beach. Nearby, there are shops selling beer, wine, and ice, as well as a delicious and affordable Sri Lankan restaurant right next door (takeout available). There’s no fridge in the room, but the owner kindly let me use their family fridge to chill my drinks. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They were always around and ready to assist with anything. As a guest, I could book snorkeling tours to Pigeon Island and dolphin & whale watching trips at a special rate. Even same-day bookings were arranged smoothly, including transport to the meeting point. Communication via WhatsApp was easy and efficient. I had a wonderful stay and will definitely come back next time I visit Sri Lanka. Thank you to the owner and the whole family for a lovely time!

    Nice hotel, clean, comfortable, great location - practically on the beach. The owner is a great host, super helpful and responsive on WhatsApp. Scooter rental available at the property. On our last evening we took a cooking class with the owners wife which was great. The food was tasty. Very good price as well. The owner also kindly arranged a taxi back to Negombo for us for an unbeatable price. Recommended.
