    The sea, beach front, and the staff are very kind. It's great for a few days of relaxation on the beach. Very clean rooms and premises. Very Friendly and helpful staff.

    A lot of stray dogs in the beach, that sometimes don’t leave you alone. There are also a lot of bugs in the garden (I know the area is very green, but it felt like a plague of dragonflies).

    Good beach in front (I only saw people from this accommodation to go to this beach). In the first day we were actually surprised to see that no one was there: if you like quiet/calm this is an idem gem. However, if you want to have people around this is definitely not the accommodation to book.

    We had a family vacation, we really liked the place and the people who work there, so we extended our stay. The location is incredibly beautiful, the service is top notch, the restaurant surprised us with delicious dishes every day. Clean, quiet, ideal for relaxation.

    It was perfect! Wi fi not always worked well, but with local eSIM that was not a problem

    This is the place where you can take a rest and enjoy your time at the sea. The private beach is just awesome, you can swim anytime you want. The whole area is just peaceful and quiet, and if you need more lively beach Uppuveli is just 10 min by tuk-tuk (Pick me app works quite well)

    Make sure they turn on your fridge when you arrive, and they had to fix the wi-fi for me.

    Like any Beach town Hotel it was laid back and funky in a good way. Just a few steps from the ocean and I loved having breakfast on the patio and watching the waves. The English breakfast was very good.

    Nice chalets with clean and spacious rooms. Beautiful, breath taking and stunning views. The beach is on your door step and the swimming pool was clean and spacious. Waking up each morning to the sound of the waves was our highlight. The hosts were very welcoming, caring and ensured our needs were met. Breakfast was so nice. We enjoyed ourselves here and recommend it as a must stay for anyone visiting the area and wanting to experience the tranquil, peacefulness of the sea right at your door step, you can not ask for a better place to stay.

    Customer service was patchy and staff a bit glum at times unlike anywhere else I have stayed in SL. No local alternatives for meals.

    Sited right in front of the beach with lovely views and direct access. Comfortable and clean accomodation. Food reasonable standard fare but a bit on the pricey side. Quiet area but reasonably close to Trinco

    The resort is self-contained so apart from tourism and activities there’s no reason to leave. Having said that, it is a little bit out of the way and about a 15 minute ride into the town. But this is only a minor concern.

    This is a small, quiet resort and every room has a spectacular ocean frontage. The beach is just metres away. The near-deserted beach is beautiful for swimming. Meals are very good and the staff are friendly and courteous. The resort is incredible value for money.

    Nothing.

    Pearl Oceanic's accommodation is located right by the sea. It is peaceful and you will be rocked to sleep by the sound of the waves. In February, the ocean is quite rough but it's fine to swim if you are a strong swimmer. For those who aren't, if you head left up the beach (as you look at the sea) and walk for about 20 minutes you will reach a part which is protected by a coral reef, where the water is very shallow, so totally safe for swimming. We had a lovely, well equipped room with a good en suite and a veranda. Powered by solar panels, we had copious hot water from a powerful shower. Rare in Sri Lanka. We also had bedside lamps which are also uncommon on the island. Quite a treat. The bed was very comfortable. The staff at Oceanic Pearl don't own the place but are charming and helpful. Krishan runs the front desk and organises transport quickly if you want to get into Trinco (less than 20 mins by tuk tuk) or anywhere else, and you will get great table service from Glendis and Ianika. Pearl Oceanic's chef, Suresh, cooks up excellent meals. There's a very wide choice on the menu (something for everyone) . We had some delicious grilled Travelli fish and many marvellous curries. The breakfast is huge and very tasty. To top it all, if you are a cat lover, there's a gorgeous one called Treasha and a lovely pet dog. Although located in quite a remote spot, it is easy to get a tuk tuk from Pearl Oceanic to busier places. Pearl Oceanic's pool is very clean and big enough. We would definitely stay here again. There is a little shop near by and GP clinic.

    Spacious, comfortable and clean rooms with all facilities. Amazing view of the sea, forcing you to stay there for more days. Extra mats, broom, etc to make sure extra cleanliness. Bathroom is fully equipped. They have a broad menu for food and a swimming pool to chill. Absolute value for money!

    Access to the place is very difficult. It's remote and not easy to drive in, even with a tuk tuk. Place needs some maintenance.

    Nice relaxing place directly at the wonderful beach. Liked the pool that was always kept clean. Food in the restaurant was very good.

    There were a few dogs around the property. While we’re not particularly fond of dogs, it wasn’t a big issue.

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Pearl Ocean Resort for two nights, and it was an incredible experience. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the private beach access, uncrowded, and ideal for relaxation. It truly felt like our home. The hotel was wonderful, offering a calm and peaceful atmosphere that made unwinding easy. The staff was exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home.

    It was a very nice stay and the place was very nice. The cottages were just beside the beach. It had all the facilities required for a comfortable stay and what we really liked was that it was not a run of the mill type of resort with the same type of decor. It was very artistically decorated with a minimalistic style which added to the charm of this quaint place. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would recommend for anyone who loves a rustic and quaint place for a relaxing stay.

    Room amenities are basic, not enough point to charge phone laptop ect, maybe its the season so many flies and insects. Beach could have been made better by putting up deck chairs and umbrella directly there but all these are in the resort compound so beach is bare.

    great staff, location very tranquil and quiet. Breakfast was good also and reasonably priced, Had dinner once was also ok.Internet works well,
