Pearl Oceanic Resort - Trincomalee

Location

This is a small, quiet resort and every room has a spectacular ocean frontage. The beach is just metres away. The near-deserted beach is beautiful for swimming. Meals are very good and the staff are friendly and courteous. The resort is incredible value for money.

The resort is self-contained so apart from tourism and activities there’s no reason to leave. Having said that, it is a little bit out of the way and about a 15 minute ride into the town. But this is only a minor concern.

Pearl Oceanic's accommodation is located right by the sea. It is peaceful and you will be rocked to sleep by the sound of the waves. In February, the ocean is quite rough but it's fine to swim if you are a strong swimmer. For those who aren't, if you head left up the beach (as you look at the sea) and walk for about 20 minutes you will reach a part which is protected by a coral reef, where the water is very shallow, so totally safe for swimming. We had a lovely, well equipped room with a good en suite and a veranda. Powered by solar panels, we had copious hot water from a powerful shower. Rare in Sri Lanka. We also had bedside lamps which are also uncommon on the island. Quite a treat. The bed was very comfortable. The staff at Oceanic Pearl don't own the place but are charming and helpful. Krishan runs the front desk and organises transport quickly if you want to get into Trinco (less than 20 mins by tuk tuk) or anywhere else, and you will get great table service from Glendis and Ianika. Pearl Oceanic's chef, Suresh, cooks up excellent meals. There's a very wide choice on the menu (something for everyone) . We had some delicious grilled Travelli fish and many marvellous curries. The breakfast is huge and very tasty. To top it all, if you are a cat lover, there's a gorgeous one called Treasha and a lovely pet dog. Although located in quite a remote spot, it is easy to get a tuk tuk from Pearl Oceanic to busier places. Pearl Oceanic's pool is very clean and big enough. We would definitely stay here again. There is a little shop near by and GP clinic.

Nothing.

Nice twin beds room, bathroom fine, veranda 30 m from the sea. Breakfast ok, dinner also, but you have to order for lunch at breakfast time, and your dinner at lunch time and your breakfast at dinner time. Seaview fantastic.

The beach unfortunately was patrolled by packs of very aggressive dogs and it was very poluted with plastic. Not in front of P. O. R. they cleaned beach every day. A hotel that uses the word "Resort" in their name should have an all day open restaurant!

Perfect and Calm location. Right in front of the beach.

Spacious, comfortable and clean rooms with all facilities. Amazing view of the sea, forcing you to stay there for more days. Extra mats, broom, etc to make sure extra cleanliness. Bathroom is fully equipped. They have a broad menu for food and a swimming pool to chill. Absolute value for money!

Everything was perfect :)
