The Tottam Beach Hotel - Trincomalee

Has good potential , Staff were trying hard to do good And very friendly

Again has good potential but maybe due to low season, no staff around ( even upon arrival no one to be seen anywhere, tried calling etc but number didn’t work) No water/ food/restaurant Had to open close main gates every day driving in and and out, aggressive stray dogs on property

The hotel is right next to the beach and set in nice gardens. It’s a little way out of the town, but easy to get a tuktuk. The hotel arranged a dolphin and snorkelling trip ( much cheaper than going to Pigeon Island and saw lots of fish). Different fish meal every night. Helpful manager and staff

Travelling as a family with 3 kids (5 years, 3 years and 8 months) the hotel was perfect to relax. Right in front of the hotel is the beach, clean at the part of the hotel, but with rubbish beside that. The ocean was great to swim for the kids. Unfortunately there is no shadow where the kids can just play a little in the sand. Theres nothing much around the hotel, so you need tuktuk/taxi, if you want to go somewhere. The room was clean, had everything you needed, but you also can hear your neighbours. Breakfast was made every day individually: fruits, eggs, banana bread, Sri Lankan pancakes - every time delicious. For dinner very delicious fish was served with soup and also dessert. Mister Silva is a great cooker. The staff did his best, but seemed a little overstrained. Sometimes we had to wait long for the food. All over a little paradise off tourism, but not ideal for families with kids.

The staff were welcoming and responsive throughout our stay. Silva was an excellent host and a great chef for our dinners.

The cabin was very comfortable, cozy and clean. It was at walking distance from the beach. The beach was a bit deserted, no bars or chairs to sit. But that made the hotel also very calming. Mr. Silva immediately rented a scooter for us. He cooked an amazing meal for us and made delicious breakfast, which made our stay.

We had the feeling that there was a lack of staff and that the chef (mr Silva) had too many jobs at the same time. He was still very nice and helpful.

Great place right on beach practically we were the only guests by the end of our stay just outside the main season the cooking was excellent 3 course meal fresh grilled fish beach to ourselves nearly great rooms and bathrooms and balcony we stayed an extra night

Nothing

This is a little piece of paradise - the beach is stunning, the food was incredible the Chef Silva was so accomodating and is highly talented - eat dinner here, he is sooooo good!

Excellent food Good location private beach Clean rooms
