Reviews of Adaar

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!

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!

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

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

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!

All was good!!

The hotel offers a high standard and makes you feel comfortable right away. The entire property and the rooms are impeccably maintained. The staff is extremely helpful and always available. The food is absolutely recommended!

Our stay at your hotel was truly special. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional — it’s clear they love what they do and do it at the highest level. We felt truly cared for every moment. The hotel itself is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed. We especially enjoyed the peaceful, well-kept beach and the calm, welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious — every meal felt like a treat. Thank you for creating such a warm and memorable experience. We’re leaving with full hearts and hope to return soon. With love and gratitude, Katia & Ily

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

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

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).

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 :)

It’s paradise on earth and looks way better than on the picture. Everything is super clean and neat, the beach is absolutely beautiful and wild (no bars, just the sea, the sand). The room was really pleasant and comfortable. We will come back for sure.

Nothing! Everything was perfect!

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!

Beautiful new property with gorgeous huge rooms

Staff a little under trained but they were sweet and always willing to try.

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.

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.

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.

- Very new, still some features not ready yet, like pool bar but we did not miss anything

Everything, we came during low season without knowing it but it didn't matter at all because the staff made our stay so perfect we didn't want to leave the hotel. The room is amazing and the pool really enjoyable. Not to miss the restaurant our dinners were delicious. We'll come back for sure!!!

Great hotel. It’s brandnew. Luxureous rooms and beautiful swimming pool located at the beach. Food is delicious. Staff professional and friendly. I extended my stay!

It has a private beach access and very comfortable rooms.

The room don’t have black out curtains and a glass over the main door lets in light. Entire bedroom is bright.

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 .

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

The quietness of the place, how relaxing it is away from tourist track and business. Perfect for a get away and relaxing holiday. Excellent staff and service.

Everything was exceptional.

The location right by the beach.

The beach was amazing and peaceful. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly.

The pool could have been more clean and well maintained. The hotel is fairly new and there are some ongoing renovations.
