Lucky Beach Resort

We traveled as a family of 4, children age 5 and 10. We had the most wonderful stay at Lucky Beach Resort. We enjoyed the pool at the hotel as well as the white sandy beach only a few minutes walk from the resort. The staff and the manager were very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay hospitable. The kitchen chef is very skilled and we had amazing dinner and breakfast of choice. The Resort is also surrounded by numerous restaurants with great seafood choices and the best mango smoothies. We went on a boat trip of whale and dolphin watching and also snorkelling at Pigeon island national park via the tour agency at the Lucky Beach Resort. It was absolutely an amazing experience and a must activity when in Trincomalee. We look forward to our next stay at Lucky Beach Resort when in Trincomalee.

Staff were friendly and tried to be helpful. Breakfast was OK. Located reasonably close to the beach.

The mattresses were really thin, uncomfortable and not covered under the sheet by a protector. The pool was really dirty (was cleaned when we complained). The photos did not match the reality - its quite tired. Our room stank from sewage - they did fix it (but not completely). There is the structure of a new building next door, right next to the pool that is not shown on the photos, thankfully no work being done on it while we were there. They advertised a private beach but this was not the case - they are willing to put out day beds if asked (but no shade available).

This plac was great and it is getting renovated further. Lovelt staff went our of their ay to be so helpful, including going out to get me special food for my breakfast. There is a beautiful pool, gardenwith birds, the rooms were very large and clean (just didn't have a tv and tea/coffee but I think that can be arranged) and a short walk to the beach.

The room was big and modern with a good bathroom with quality towels. The pool was huge with adequate sunbeds. Breakfast was massive with a fruit plate, fresh juice and a large plate of cooked food (eggs, sausages, potatoes and vegetables with fried chicken or prawns) as well as good toast. There was a fridge and kettle but we had to ask for cups.

On reflection, the booking.com price for included breakfast was expensive but I guess justified by the size and quality. I found most of the staff quite unfriendly except for the lovely night watchman and the breakfast chef who was keen to please. There is a large construction site alongside the pool, possibly additional bedrooms. At its current early stage, it wasn't very noisy and didn't cause us any inconvenience.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was very clean and the staffs are very kind and helpful with everything you needed. The pool was maintained neatly and the beach is just a 5 minute walk away.
