Bliss Cabana was a lovely and peaceful place to stay in Trincomalee. Vini, the host, was super helpful and always available. we could message her anytime if we needed something. The location is perfect: close to some great restaurants and just a short walk from the beach. The cabana was very clean, and we were glad to have booked one with A/C, especially since it was really hot. At night, the fan alone was usually enough to keep it comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

Review: We had an amazing stay at this accommodation! The room was incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully designed, reminiscent of a Balinese resort. It was very well-equipped, though a mini-fridge and hand towels would have been a nice addition. The cleanliness was absolutely impeccable. The rooms are built in a cabin-style structure with high ceilings, creating a cozy yet airy atmosphere. The outdoor restaurant area offers a beautiful panoramic view, with tables and a bar where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The breakfast was truly exquisite, with high-quality ingredients and expert preparation. A special mention to the host, who went above and beyond to help us with everything. On the second morning, he even prepared a gluten-free adaptation of the breakfast so I could fully enjoy the experience. This place is an oasis of peace and tranquility, yet conveniently located near restaurants and a stunning, paradisiacal beach just a 7-8 minute walk away. We highly recommend it for a relaxing and unforgettable stay!

Loved how everything was clean, especially rooms which are cleaned twice a day. Amazing staff by the pool, moment they see you looking around confused somebody comes. Food and drinks are amazing as well and honestly not that expensive if you disregard price of your stay. Had amazing surprise where they made us cake for my wifes birthday free of charge

The hostel was welcoming, clean and had everything you could need and to top it off, it’s so close to the beach! The owner Dusi and Jacky who works there were both amazing. They couldn’t have done enough for everyone. It really felt like a little community there. Whilst I was there they had AC installed in one of the dorm rooms too which was a massive thumbs up from me! Dusi (the owner) can sort out all sorts of day trips too, me and a couple of others did a dolphin/snorkelling tour which was great! Thanks for a great week guys! :)

The accommodation is an amazingly beautiful, spotlessly clean, peaceful oasis with nurtured gardens.The host Suba is an excellent friendly host who speaks English well and cooks beautiful breakfasts. The accommodation is very relaxing. The beds were super comfy, and the sheets were very soft. The beach is beautiful, very clean and sand entry to the sea with a great choice of restaurants close by. We extended our stay and will return and recommend it to our friends and family.

The location is great. It is 2min walk to the beach. The staff is awesome. The owner is really chill and helps you book tours, do laundry, transfers, or any other stuff you might need. The room is spacious and the fan really works, we didn't use AC. The bathroom is huge and has shampoo, body wash and soap. A great value overall!

Comfortable bed in a clean room at affordable price. We stayed in March and it was lovely and quiet. Lovely peaceful gardens to relax in providing shade on a sunny day. Beach is a stones throw away and very safe for swimming. Exceptional food, huge portions, provided by the lovely friendly host, Brenda. Recommend a stay here.

    The location next to the beach was ideal plus we enjoyed using their beachside restaurant and bar. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and even arranged a birthday cake for my daughter’s birthday. Would highly recommend staying here if you can get a room (as I think they book up quickly).

    We had a wonderful one-night stay at this hotel. The white sandy beach is just a short 100m walk away, making it an ideal location. The rooms were very clean and decent, and the WiFi was super fast, perfect for staying connected. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby, adding to the convenience. Overall, a great place to stay at a reasonable price.

    Highlight of the hotel for me was the pool. It was a great size and very clean and well maintained. The hotel overall was spotless and the staff did everything to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The location was great for access to the beach and the best of the beachfront restaurants.

    Location to the beach was brilliant, about a 30 minute stroll to uppuveli beach, where nice cheap restaurants can be found for both lunch and dinner. The view from the balcony over the sea is wonderful. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful when planning excursions such as whale watching and Pigeon Island. They also organise tuk tuks where you get the most fantastic driver in Kumar, who will chat to you and offer to take you whenever you want to go (even at 5am).
