Lovely, clean, luxury hotel. Nicely decorated with a gorgeous pool, well tended grounds and two restaurants (one- the crab- much better than the other). Staff are nice and efficient (in a slow kind of way!). Professionally run and a very good, relaxing place to chill out and enjoy Uppuvelli beach. Wifi everywhere (even on the beach!) and breakfast is a... More

Chaaya Blu is the best place in Trinco if you are looking for a relaxing and well-serviced holiday. The place won’t go for nightlife lovers, but perfectly suitable families and couples looking for some romance and paradise-like views. Pluses - Beautiful beach with minimum people, clean and calm ocean - Absolutely great food in The Crab (a-la carte beach bar).... More

The hotels main restaurant is a three times a day buffet; but there is a smaller a la carte restaurant that serves some very nice prawns crab and... More

Spent a couple of nights here after being at another Chaaya hotel - the Village, at Habarana - and this was something of a contrast, but none the worse for that. The only downside is the track into the hotel from the main road - absolutely horrendous - full of potholes and it was pretty hard on a saloon car... More

After the latest lf several visits to Chaaya Blu I can report that it is just as good as before. Well laid out hotel. Comfortable rooms and very friendly and efficient staff. The beach location is great, miles of sandy beach which is kept clean by hotel staff. An ideal location for all the things Trincomalee has to offer. Whale... More

The bathroom is small compared to other hotels. This hotel is beautifully situated with a lovely pool and private beach. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Special mention... More

From the early stages of preparation until the final waves goodbye the entire staff were amazing. With two different nationalities getting married in another country it made the paperwork side of things rather complicated but with their help everything became smooth and easy. The extra efforts put in by the staff was humbling - private dinners on the beach, an... More
