The only thing we could think of: a few more vegetarian/vegan options on the dinner menu. We were both happy with rice/pasta with vegetables, but just as a general recommendation.

C Beyond Nilaveli is one of the most welcoming and comfortable places we have stayed in! The place is located directly on the shore with a beautiful and quiet beach just in front of the door. The rooms are spacious, extremely clean and have a beautiful interiour decor. Although the hut we stayed in was partly "open", we had no troubles with any insects  thanks to the mosquito net provided.  The breakfast is the best and most diverse one we had on our whole trip; the dinner is of high quality as well (even though the prices are comparably high for Sri Lanka). The host and the whole staff went beyond our expectations in order to make our stay most comfortable. If you are looking for a calm and relaxing accommodation to spend some quality time on a beautiful beach, we can only recommend this place!

We had problems with the aircon so had to change rooms for a night - staff provided acceptable alternatives but was a bit disappointing nonetheless. Pool had waterboatmen which are harmless but disconcerting

Staff are very friendly and organised good value snorkeling. Beach area is nice and easily accessible from hotel. Room amenities good

Can't think of anything.

Eric and his team made our stay at this beautiful hotel special. Their friendliy hospitality was wonderful. This is a small hotel, located on the beach, at the mouth of the estuary, directly opposite Pigeon Island. There is no better location in Nilavelli. Everything has been designed for the comfort of guests - the hotel design and layout of the grounds, the decor, the meals. I hope to come again. Thank you for a memorable experience.

The rooms are a little rustic in places, which we expected, but don’t go thinking this is high end luxury. Breakfast felt a bit wasteful as there was so much of it as it was all brought out to you. Not a negative, we just hate wasting food :-)

Beautiful location right on Nilaveli beach, the pictures do not do it justice, it took my breath away as we walked through the reception and saw the view from the back. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. Food was lovely, and we especially enjoyed the BBQ night on the beach. Highly recommend for a peaceful couple of nights stay in a beautiful environment

Creaky bed and a bedroom door that banged in the wind, otherwise perfect.

Perfectly situated for calm and beauty. Great facilities allowing for beach and pool swims and reading on the deck over looking the ocean. Terrific staff who were genuinely open and warm.

It’s quite pricey, we couldn’t compare with other hotels around but I got the impression our location was the most scenic. Rooms on the quiet beach, very peaceful but I’m not sure if it worth the price for us. There’s a good restaurant in walking distance, but the hotel has amazing dinner if you pre order fish ahead of time. Overall a very nice and special place I would recommend, but not cheap

Special place, beautiful, quiet and friendly staff

Inconsistent housekeeping in the rooms.

Great location, on the beach and away from the crowds. Exceptionally good food. Very good breakfast. Calm sea and very nice sand.

We enjoyed everything

This is a very nice hotel on a superior location. We received a very comfortable room with views in 180 degrees towards clean beaches with the possibility to either swim in a private pool, the larger hotel pool or the sea. The pools and room were well maintained. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was very tasteful and served in an excellent manner. We enjoyed both dolphin watching excursion and lagoon boat ride on location.

The hotel is located a long way out from beach based hospitality best found at Uppuveli, even there it’s quite low key. That’s a bonus for many but a bit too quiet for us. There are no other eating options for several Kms so you need transportation if you want options. That said their dinners were very good and not unreasonably priced for the quality, service and some Western style options. In the end we enjoyed going to the Hawaiian Snack Bar on the beach at Uppuveli during the day, nice loungers, drinks, great food, service and vibe. Then returned to our nice oasis at C beyond for the evening and dinner. It works if you don’t mind 20 mins travel each way… or you enjoy seclusion on a nice but very quiet beach.

Great staff who want to make your stay pleasurable, very good food, a bit tired in places but superior to most other options we observed. Has a nice vibe to it. Lovely outlook over the sea from our room and private balcony.

It was a 15 min Tuk Tuk to other restaurants but that was perfect for us.

It was in a really quiet area and was beautiful!! The beach was empty and the hotel was small so the pool was quiet. Great setting!

Our short stay!

Our room at the hotel, at first floor level, was ideal and overlooked the sea and an area of beach with fishing boats. Our room was clean and tidy and had access to a private balcony. The food was excellent with a varied menu which was better than average. The staff were polite, personal and helpful

The staff we polite, friendly and attentive to our every need. The hotel is idyllic and unique. Located upon a long stretch of perfect sandy beach that is almost otherwise uninhabited and the sea is crystal clear. Highly recommend for a tranquil stay to relax and unwind.

The place is perfect

We stayed at C Beyond for 8 nights and it was absolute bliss. The hotel is very relaxed with beautiful Art adorning the walls. The beach is safe for swimming and the sunrises are spectacular. It is very secluded. The staff all work extremely hard and nothing is too much trouble.

Slightly far away from the hustle and bustle of Trincomalee, but it’s only a short drive away.

Large room with a lovely small private pool and right by the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and organised the trips we wanted to go on at very reasonable prices. Large breakfast spread.

Dinner prices a bit high but hey…

Wonderful property, beautiful beaches, enjoyable pool. Room is really lovely with beautiful sunrises. Dinner was delicious. It’s an independent hotel and nice to enjoin something a bit more original than a chain hotel. We had a great stay. Staff were superb too.

The beach is not as good as the main Nilavali beach. Also it can be quite dirty at times. If you are keen on long walks on the beach this may not be the best resort to be.

Rooms are nice and toiletries are of very good quality. Food is generally good and varied. Choice of local dishes are also available during breakfast which is nice.
