Great design. It’s such a luxury experience to have a room by the beach. The view inside the room is already like a movie. Direct beach access. Great and wild beach. Staff catering to you every need from managing lagoon trip, portion island diving to money exchange. Great food. Beachside BBQ at night is such a wonderful experience. Justifiable price.

The property was lovely, with a great pool and games available (board games, archery and volleyball). Close to a beautiful beach. Staff went above and beyond and were really helpful and friendly. Room had everything we needed. A little remote but staff were so helpful with providing tuk tuks and helping us with finding a taxi for onward travel. Would recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a remarkable hotel, and I must say that the impeccable service provided by the staff made my experience truly unforgettable. Throughout my stay, three individuals stood out in particular - Sajeevan, Nipithanan, and Tharanga. Their exceptional dedication, warm demeanor, and genuine care for the guests made all the difference. Farther more, the diving team at this hotel particularly Rajee, Shanthan and Kanna made my stay truly remarkable. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for guests' needs left a lasting impression

    I liked the small hotel we stayed in on the beach front (Mithra Paradise) and the semi-private beach. A real gem if you're looking for a quiet romantic place. Much better than the big faceless commercial hotels. I would recomemmend the small guest houses in the whole of SL for this reason as the service is exceptional and they are usually family-run so they put a lot of love and effort into pleasing their guests. No mosquitoes in July. Avoid the dolphin watching 'chasing' tours. Loads of boats making a big noise and running over the dolphins. Poor animals. You only glimpse them for a few seconds and the boat ride is hell on your back. Try the snorkelling instead.

    A much more peaceful beach holiday that at neighbouring Uppaveli, so if you want to get away from the crowds, it’s a perfect spot. The surrounding countryside looks beautiful too - I wish we’d have had more time to explore. We ate at Sara’s fish restaurant, where the seafood kottu & prawn curry were delicious.

    Nilaveli is the perfect beach if you want peace and quiet , not many shops or facilities about, a few ok restaurants near by some expensive for Sri Lanka even more pricey than England, would need to travel 15km by local Tuk Tuk to find a good choice in Trincomalee-Nilaveli-Pulmodai which around 2000 rupees each way

    Very soft golden sand. Sea was not rough during our stay. Snorkeling trips are arranged by guides to nearby Pigeon Island. Pristine corrals and species. May be less restaurants along the beach, and not much of public facilities like toilets and wheelchair access etc

    Nilaveli has a lot to offer.

    Nilaveli has a lot to offer. The lower part of the beach closer to Trincomalee is very much like Bali or Goa with lots of accommodation including budget friendly options. It has many small cafes and restaurants right on the beach. There are also many dive shops offering diving experiences at Pigeon Island just off the coast. The upper end of the beach is more secluded and has fewer beach cafes and bars. This is where the larger more upmarket Nilaveli Beach Hotel is located.

    It was easy, we booked 5 minutes before arriving, no problem. Very comfy, great apartmnt, easy access to the beach which is 30m meters from the hotel, I actually could see both the sea and the pool from my bed. Clean, spacious, neatly decorated... Great value fro the money, the local hotels wanted more for a poor quality, we personally checked two facilities in Nilaveli before booking this one.
