    Stunning hotel!

    The property is stunningly beautiful, clean and new. The pool is wonderful and you are right on the beach which is perfect for swimming. We stayed in a beautiful suite that was spacious and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the food served by the property did not disappoint. It is easy to get around with the Pick Me app to order Tuktuks. We discovered a wonderful restaurant nearby called Daily Delights that was also great!

    One small thing: when you arrive there was no help with luggage (was maybe because we were earlier) but for that price you can expect this

    Great hotel - all what is needed - super nice big and stylish decorated rooms - very friendly staff - super nice pool and garden - direct at the beach

    All was good!!

    We had an absolutely incredible stay! If we could give this place a 20 out of 10, we absolutely would. The level of luxury and personalized care we experienced here is unparalleled. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special, and their attentiveness was extraordinary. They even arranged a special seafood dinner for us last night that was absolutely delicious, and today they organized a snorkeling excursion with a boat that picked us up right at the hotel. The setting is stunning and serene, making this a truly one-of-a-kind experience. We can't recommend it highly enough!

    A little bit solated but Nilaveli is only 10-15min tuk tuk drive away. Pool is a bit 'soupy' Be careful of debris and glass on the beach if you go walking, not the hotels fault as probaly widespread issue

    Staff are very helpful and attentive and the place is a beautiful new well designed resort

    Unfortunately, food is not as tasty as it could be. Sometimes it takes too long to wait for breakfast. And kindly reminder for travellers: if you look for service as in Turkey or Egypt it is better to lower expectations :)

    Very good hotel for Trinkomale. Big and comfortable rooms, friendly staff. About 2 minutes walk to the beach which is a dream of introvert: there are no hotels near so it is almost empty and you can enjoy the ocean without people. However, you should understand that hotel is far away from Trinkomale (about 30-40 minutes by car ot tuk-tuk).

    We were so happy with our stay at Adaar. We were looking for somewhere to relax after a very busy few weeks and this was the perfect fit. The staff here are incredible, are always working so hard to make sure you are enjoying your stay. We had the breakfast every morning where you could choose American/continental/sri Lankan or Indian and it was always delicious with plenty of food! The accommodation is a little far out from the main centre of shops/restaurants in Nivali and Trincomalee but we rented a scooter so this wasn’t an issue and the hotel pool is so great there’s no big need to leave!

    New beautiful resort at the beach

    be aware that is is really remote up the cost, if this is what you want, it's perfect. A-la-carte food was a bit pricy for Sri Lankan terms, but it tasted good.

    New beautiful resort up the coast from Trincomale. It is situated a bit remote alone on a long beautiful beach, has a large pool and a nice garden area. The restaurant at the pool serves a large variety of delicious food. Staff is very helpful and friendly. It is the perfect spot to relax a few day at the beach or pool and enjoy the nature. The hotel is brand new, clean and very well maintained.

    Really nice location at one of the most beautiful beaches, quiet, comfy rooms and a big pool (a bit too warm) Staff was super friendly, a special shoutout to Sega who made our stay unforgetable with a romantic candle light dinner at the beach and an incredible service We would definitely recommend a car.

    Ok. I wouldn’t say these are my dislikes just some slippages I am sure they will be rectified this is a new property anyways. Shower, hmmm, water didn’t really go down the drain fast enough and there’s a pile of:/. And then there’s some little minor things on the design. Loved the room. Big, pretty, thoughtful. I turned off the lights. Cozy. And then I realised the window on top of the entrance can’t be shaded and light from the corridor was shining on my face the whole night. But otherwise I really loved it. It is a remote property by the way but that is what I liked it for

    I paid slightly north of 120 usd for a night and loved it. Loved the pool. Loved the fact that they faced the Indian Ocean (no they don’t own the beach but u can access the beach front from the hotel and for that matter no one is on the beach anyways). Very welcoming staff reminding u off your meals for the next days .

    Since the hotel is so new, there were still some works or minor finishing touches, but this did not bother us. It was a little strange that we had to pay for the room on arrival and not together with the extra food and drinks when we checked out, but the price was correct so this didn't really bother us either.

    The staff are very friendly and do all they can to give you a pleasant stay. Completely new hotel with spacious room and bathroom, very comfortably equipped. Nice swimming pool and pleasant garden with direct access to the beach. Close to Nilaveli beach and Pigeon Island (15 min by tuktuk). Would definitely recommend!

    This is a very nice newly constructed hotel with ongoing finishing touches ( did not disturb us). A great location with a beautiful garden and direct access to the beach/ocean. Everything was incredibly well taken care off and clean. The staff was very accomodating and welcoming. After telling them that we sadly weren't able to attend a cooking class, they made it possible for us to prepare dinner with their chef in their kitchen. It was everything we had wished for! We enjoyed the calm, relaxing atmosphere after a busy time traveling the whole country and it was the perfect ending to our vacation.

    The hotel is a few weeks away from being finished. Therefore, we were still in a construction site with workers banging and building and digging, whilst we were poolside.

    The hotel is beautiful, quite far from the city center, but it has a very beautiful deserted beach. As for the rest, everything needs to be reconsidered, especially the staff, who should absolutely be replaced entirely by qualified personnel. 1. You are asked to pay for your entire stay before even seeing the room or having your welcome drink. 2. The meals are not good. You really try to enjoy them, but honestly, they are not worth the price. I ordered a curry the first evening, and it was served without rice. I ordered a salted lassi, which was mixed with vanilla, and I was charged 1,600 rupees for it! I couldn’t even drink it, it was so salty. I asked for a boiled egg at the Sri Lankan breakfast, and I was told it would be charged as an extra? I had to give up the curry just to have the egg! 30 minutes of waiting for breakfast. All their meals are frozen, from chicken to fish, everything. 3. The pool: no mattresses on the loungers, towels are not available, the bar service is poor. I asked three days in a row for coconuts to drink; they kept saying “tomorrow,” when they could have easily bought some just around the corner. 4. The beach: no sunbeds, no umbrellas, and no lifeguard. You’re on your own! 5. The room is spacious, but the air conditioning is very noisy, as is the fan. On top of that, the windows don’t have shutters, so the room never gets dark. 6. The service: nothing works properly. At check-out, I called for someone to collect my luggage, and they sent two young girls barely 18 years old. They tell you the water bottles are free, but then they charge you for them. They bother you every hour asking if you will dine at the hotel. I could keep writing at length, but I’ll stop here. In short: I really do not recommend this place!
