Hoteles con piscina en Provincia del Este, Sri Lanka

The rooms are incredible and the beach is lovely but this is NOT a 4* hotel. The rest of the place seems run down and not looked after, the gardens are a mess, volleyball court isn’t usable and I’ve not seen a children’s play area. Staff are scarce, there is no pool bar and you have to go in search of beach towels or drinks. The restaurant is extremely poor, long wait for service and we were the only ones in the restaurant. Food options weren’t available and beer was only put in the fridge when I asked for it, so I then had to wait for it to cool down before it was served, when food arrived it wasn’t great, felt like a quick microwave meal. Room initially had no hot water, which we had to wait to be fixed, there is nothing in the mini bar as advertised, you just get an empty fridge, hairdryer had to be requested and room was missing towels and robes etc on arrival. Rooms took a long time to be made up each day and again some towels and robes were not replenished and had to be requested again. Parts of the hotel were closed and lots of lights at night flickered. They also advertise that the hotel has a night club and a billiards room, we haven’t seen any sign of a nightclub and the billiards room is two pool tables, one completely out of use with tape over it and the other is extremity rundown, dusty and wonky that you can’t play a game on it properly. No staff ever gave us a briefing on arrival or told us about the hotel, we have had to explore, guess and ask questions. Staff have been somewhat helpful, they speak English but don’t seem to understand it when they’re asked questions. Hotel has a what’s app service but responses are very slow and even then not fully understood. It’s like it used to be a 4* hotel but it’s run by pirates 🏴☠️

Vine aquí por el nombre Trincomalee Maldives, para ser honesto, no es comparable a las Maldivas. Pero también es un buen destino turístico. Me gusta mucho este hotel. Las habitaciones dan a la hermosa piscina y al mar. Es muy cómodo sentarse en el pequeño balcón y degustar el vino. La comida en el restaurante es buena. Es un poco incómodo a la hora de comer. Aunque la cafetería está vallada por tres lados, los cuervos inteligentes y los cachorros todavía se escabullen por el lado no vallado. Los cachorros suelen tumbarse debajo de la mesa, mientras los cuervos esperan la oportunidad de atacar.

The trouble with rating this resort is that it is 2 distinct sides of the coin. On the one hand, the location and room size is by far the BEST in Passikuddah. U cannot find a more value for money location and room size with views overlooking the gorgeous ocean all day and from each room! Their staff are extremely cordial and super helpful especially Mr. Sujan went out of his way to help us out with any queries or hiccups we may have had at the place. But the two things that really need extreme help are their sad breakfast and their funny rule of cleaning up rooms only once in 3 days which for a beach resort is unheard of!!! We had to ask them to clean up the room which is when we got to know about this rule they follow and to be honest, it was shocking cuz we have never heard that ever in our entire lives - they did it immediately, again with Sujan's help but I don't think one should have to ask for a clean room when you are at a resort - it's a given!! Second, their breakfast is a no-show. They offer toast, a handful of fruits and eggs besides coffee. That's just about it. For a beach resort, with that kind of view, this breakfast is a complete insult to the staff, the town and the vibe! They really need to work on that.

I recently stayed at the Giman Free Hotel and had a unique experience. This hotel is truly isolated, far away from civilization, making it a perfect spot for introverts or those looking for solitude. While the hotel itself is clean, it is clear that some renovations are needed to update the facilities. However, the staff more than makes up for any shortcomings with their friendliness and willingness to accommodate guests. The restaurant at the hotel surprised me with its delicious food, which I found to be better than what I have experienced at some five-star hotels in Sri Lanka. The beach near the hotel is clean. However, the downside of the beach which is very wild and long is the amount of garbage and plastic that washes up on the shore. Since the beach is deserted it was disheartening to see all the pollution scattered along the shoreline. Overall, if you are seeking a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the Giman Free Hotel is a great option. Just be prepared for a bit of roughness around the edges of the beach.

The reception was warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout our stay. The room was beautifully spacious and comfortable, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. We stayed in an ocean-view bungalow, which added a wonderful sense of luxury and made the experience feel truly special. The amenities were excellent, with a wide range of thoughtful touches that made everything even more enjoyable. This place is a perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax and unwind. We highly recommend it – without a doubt the best accommodation in the area.

We enjoyed our stay at the beach bungalows here. We came during off season and they cleaned the pool for us and we had the beachfront bungalow. The breakfast was really good! However, this hotel also operates a liquor store that runs 24/7 right in the middle of the guest rooms so at all hours of the day there were people walking through to buy alcohol (during breakfast time even) and then would sit down on the premises to consume their purchases. As two young travellers it was not a huge deal but if you are a family it might not be the space for you!

El hotel se encuentra muy bien situado en las fotos, en las hermosas instalaciones y en las instalaciones. Desafortunadamente, nos disgustamos un poco en la forma en que se gestiona. Parece que el lugar se abandona con su propia estructura y fotos. Pros: - Bella ubicación y ubicación, frente a una hermosa playa. - habitaciones bien hechos, grandes baños, bonita zona exterior. - Las instalaciones tienen una hermosa decoración, el bar, el restaurante. Cons: - limpieza! El resort tiene un problema de limpieza. A la hora de escribir ”limpieza” con nuestros dedos en el espejo de la toalla del restaurante, y fue allí durante toda nuestra estancia. - las bebidas de bar no son buenas. Hemos probado muchas bebidas y jugos en todos los hoteles que nos quedamos en Sri Lanka, y esta que tuvimos que renunciar, beber después de beber, jugo después de jugo, no era buena en absoluto. También el vaso de bebida viene muy sucio. El bar es hermoso, pero nunca tuvo música durante nuestra estancia. - servicio es bienvenido pero no preparado. Por ejemplo, antes de llegar a la zona de desayuno arriba, te preguntan: ”¿Qué quieres para el desayuno? Así que no tengo que ir arriba para preguntar”, el personal general está cansado, no motivado y no tiene formación, están tan abandonados como el hotel. - el spa se cerró durante toda nuestra estancia, porque la dama tenía días de vacaciones. - Cuando en el check-out intenté decirles que el lugar tiene mucho potencial pero necesitan prestar atención a estos detalles que acaban de responder: Gracias por su estancia, por favor haganos un comentario en Triadvisor! Por lo tanto, no prestan atención ..., lo que es triste ver.

Zonas comunes muy buenas y con buen mantenimiento, con unas vistas impresionantes. Restaurante pequeño pero con muy buena calidad de comida. En esto podría ser 5 estrellas pero la calidad de la habitación, cama y baño deben mejorar. Servicio, hay empleados agradables pero también algunos que solo trabajan de manera agradable si das propinas antes del servicio. Recomendable la actividad en un catamarán de 3 horas que puedes reservar en recepción.

Maldives in Sri Lanka. The sea absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed so much the walking on the endless beach. The staff is amazing , made my solo trip so rich of memories and extra care, done multiple activities and I recommend the dinner in the cellar as they have the best cellar in Sri Lanka , and also a must the dinner on the platform in the middle of the sea! A big thanks for the unforgettable memories , they made me live a dream
