Black Forest Beach Resort

La vicinanza con il mare ed il personale molto accogliente

The room was clean and large . It had a few added extras you expect from a higher end accommodation . The internet was good . The proximity to the beach was fantastic … we virtually had it to ourselves .

Its location is very isolated which means you need to eat at the hotel . All breakfasts and our first dinner were Western and they were unable to cater for gluten free even though they said they would . This is the first time this had occurred in 21 days of travelling in Sri Lanka staying at a range of accomodation from home stays and not expensive accomodation . It was very upsetting as this hotel was not cheap .The staff did try hard but there seemed to be restrictions that led to the above statement . The shower water pressure is non existent ( room 102 balcony ) .

The best place to stay in the Trincomalee area of you like beautiful and peaceful surroundings. A private and clean beach, wonderful hosts and good Sri Lanka food. Our family loved it!

The location, the staff Chandry and Eranga - the delicious food - we had breakfast and dinner there for the whole 3 days we stayed and the large spacious room.

Nothing

Great location, right on beautiful Nilaveli Beach. Friendly staff.

Disappointing amenities. Dark room with inadequate lighting. Bathroom tap fell off every time I turned it on. Rust stains on the bath. Areas of hotel, such as reception, look like an unfinished building site. Overpriced.

We spent a carefree 3 weeks here and truly wished we could have stayed longer. This is a fantastic place run by incredibly warm and welcoming hosts who do everything to make your stay unforgettable. From the moment we crossed The Black Forest's threshold, we felt it: we are welcome. And it's not just the proximity of the warm sea or beautiful beach - above all it's the people. Owners are absolutely amazing people. They did not just host us, they made us feel at home. The hotel is located slightly off the beaten path, which guarantees peace and privacy. Just a few steps away, there’s a beautiful, wide, and almost empty beach – perfect for relaxing and swimming. The hotel provides sunbeds and umbrellas, and the sea is calm and pleasantly warm. We were absolutely delighted by the food – in our opinion, the best we experienced in Sri Lanka. Both breakfasts and dinners were delicious, varied, and prepared with great care. The menu combines traditional local flavors with more European-style dishes, always delicous. We left the choice of dishes to the chef, and it was the best decision – every evening brought a new and tasty surprise that we eagerly looked forward to. The rooms are spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated. Wi-Fi works very well. The owners are happy to help organize trips, for example to nearby Pigeon Island or other interesting spots in the area. They are genuinely kind and dedicated – they made us feel completely at home. We wholeheartedly recommend this place – it was truly a special stay.

We had to come back to home.
