    Our holiday: We were here for the first time last year for one week and we really liked it. We loved it here so much that we had to come again this year for two weeks. And again I can say that our stay did not disappoint us. We had a great time here, everything went according to our expectations. We had a beautiful and cozy apartment with a view of the ocean and a beautiful garden. The staff was amazing and thank you all so much for helping me with my back pain. I hope it wasn't the last time we were here, we will always be very happy to come back here. We love the beach here and this hotel and staff. I warmly recommend it to everyone, especially for the beautiful peace and having the beach and pool to yourself. Just amazing. Radek Malík Luby

    Not enough supplies in the kitchen. No washing up liquid, tea towels etc. There are also not many shops nearby to grab anything (and also given the cost of the apartment I would rather not spend extra on cleaning supplies). This was a shame as we cooked on the first night and then couldn't wash anything up. This isn't a complaint as such but it's important to know that there are no decent supermarkets nearby, the closest one (Trincomalee) is too far to justify a tuk tuk unless you are getting a large amount of groceries. There are a few restaurants around but not a huge amount, some were closed which was a bit limiting. With no where to get groceries and not many restaurants I wouldn't have wanted to spend any more than 3/4 days.

    The apartment is in a great spot overlooking the sea. It takes a whole 2 minutes to walk to the beach! There is lots of space, comfortable sofas and has great air conditioning. The shower was hot and powerful (a rare thing in Sri Lanka it seems). Comfortable beds and living area also. The beach is beautiful and clean, we had a lovely time swimming and walking daily.

    Internet connection was not good. There are not many restaurants near.

    Excellent view, very calm and quiet. The apartment is very nice, clean and spacious. Time when we were there was not crowded, and we like that.

    Oceanfront Condos at Nilaveli.

    The nearest shops stocking groceries, ice, eggs, bread, etc., are about 3-5 kms away from the Condos, towards Trincomalee. Not too far though, if you have a vehicle. The little restaurant on the premises had limited items available from the menu and last order was by 7pm. So carry what you need before reaching there and enjoy a lovely stay !

    Absolutely loved the location ! Not many units were occupied while we were there, so it was very quiet. The beach is clean and the sea was calm, with very clear water. The condo is well equipped, but there was no shop in the community for groceries. Drinking water was provided in the unit. We had one of our best meals at Moon Isle Bungalow, a few meters down the beach. Not many options open in the off season, but we lucked out ! The host, Priyanga, was always responsive and helpful. Unfortunately, we had only a day and a half at the property, but would have loved to stay there for a week, at least, and explore the area.

    Go, swim, soak the sun, come to condo, make breakfast, eat, read, and sleep (in the living room)

    The restaurant/food service is slow. Likely because they weren't expecting so many people to arrive at the same time. The property was full, for the first time after covid.

    It was fantastic. We were staying in a room that look up to the sea but I think every condo has a part that looks upto the sea. So, shouldn't be a problem for travelers to think about which room they'd get. The condo where we were staying had almost everything that one needs for a daily household thing, including functional kitchen (you have to get your commodities though). There were also books and CDs and TV to spend time inside the condo (and not just using it for sleeping and bathing). This is quite essential if you are staying for a slightly longer duration than just couple of days as the temperature outside is not so friendly, humidity is really high and going out in the sun becomes really challenging. Looking at the sea from the living room itself makes you feel so cool (temperature) from inside your body that you won't like to go outside during the noon time.

    Be mindful to go if you are not a foreigner (white skin)

    Preference is given to foreigners (white skin). I came to visit from Ireland and the staff assumed me to be a local/indian. The staff at the food area and other places showed discrimination. Preferential treatment and rates was given at the premises. Be mindful before selecting this place for your stay

    Location Property is neatly maintained
