The door wouldn’t stay closed unless it was locked which was slightly inconvenient, but that was only a minor thing

Extremely comfortable mattress! Very nice pool as well. Staff were always happy to assist with anything.

The hotel was perfect for our two-night stopover for whale and dolphin watching and a snorkeling trip. We chose this simple, budget-friendly place with air conditioning and a pool because we arrived late the first day and spent most of the second day out. The beach, dive center for excursions, and several restaurants are just a few minutes’ walk away (highly recommend Trincomalee Thambi Italian Restaurant for pasta and Cafe on the 18th for coffee and cake). We mostly stayed at the beach, where there are a few free sunbeds at Fernando’s Market. The beach is lively and great for wave-jumping. The pool was clean, pleasantly warm, about 1m deep – perfect for my 7-year-old son. Expectations shouldn’t go beyond the description, but for what it offers it’s excellent. The “cinema” label felt a bit exaggerated – it seemed more like a living room with four big chairs and a medium-sized TV. Overall, very friendly staff and a great stay.

Water in shower could be a little warmer and while no breakfast provided plenty of restaurants in the area.

Helpful staff and great swimming pool with nice outside area. We spent five nights and were very comfortable. Quiet and peaceful.

The only thng I didn't like was that they don't have a credit card machine. Bring cash, or you'll have to go out and get it. It is worth it!

We felt something special was about to happen as soon as we were driven down the beautiful palm-lined drive. We were greeted by the very friendly staff and shown to our large spotless bedroom. Nothing we asked for was too much trouble and everything given was with a smile The ceilings are high, the rooms are spacious. There are large wooden tables to sit at on beautiful verandahs at or overlooking the pool, which is large, very blue and sparkling. Many restaurant options are close by and a wonderful beach is in short walking distance.

It is simple, classic but good and clean. It is not 5 star accommodation but it works and is a great stop off

This place looks very simple but it is very clean and the pool is excellent. I think that the staff and owners work extremely hard here and this is to their credit. We loved Trincomalee and I think it is testament to this accommodation. It worked really well for our family of 5

There is no breakfast.

The staff is so sweet and friendly. The beds are very comfortable and the room is big. We loved staying here!

The air con wasn't great, the lady next door wakes you up first thing firing loud caps to try and scare away monkeys, no bottled water in the room and no shower gel or soap. Room also not in the main building as it looks from the photos (it's behind). Ambiguous breakfast inclusion - confirmation says its included, but it's not and they don't do breakfast.

Great location, friendly staff and nice swimming pool. The location was quite private and also felt safe. Close to the beach and near to lots of laundries, places to eat, ATM, spa places etc.

We were a group of 9 people hoping to stay together in one unit, but due to unclear room descriptions, we ended up split between two separate parts of the property. It would be very helpful if the listing included clearer details about how rooms or apartments are grouped—especially for larger groups—so future guests can choose the right accommodation more easily and avoid confusion. Thanks

The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were very cozy, and we slept really well each night.the pool was a refreshing bonus, and the air conditioners were a lifesaver during the very hot weather, making the entire stay incredibly comfortable.

A nice hotel, within 5 minutes of the beach. The beach is very suitable for families with childern. There are multible restaurants near the hotel. City center and its temples are a quick 10 to 15 minute tuk tuk ride away.

We enjoyed our stay at bluewater very much. Lovely pool and good location. There arent many rooms so we often had the pool to ourselves. The room was very nice too. Clean, big, a big fridge, mosquito net, and warm water for a shower. Staff was very friendly

It would have been good to have a kettle in the room.

The pool was a welcome break from the heat and kept very clean

A kettle and cups in the room would be good to make tea/coffee as the hotel didn’t have a cafe/ restaurant when we were there in the low season.

Very good small hotel with an excellent pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with the air-conditioning on the second day but it was fixed very quickly. Close to some good restaurants. Would recommend Blue Sea restaurant/hotel on the beach and particularly Preni restaurant a short walk away off the main road.

It is not a beachfront hotel, but the beach is a 5 min walk away.

The pool was huge and well-maintained and the water was super clean. The room was clean, spacious, bad was comfy and the bathroom had a walk in shower. The stuff was very friendly and keep the whole place very well-maintained. Highly recommended!
