This hotel is 15km from Trincomalee and is best reached by 3-wheeler, but if you are there you are on the beach, all the fancy and expensive hotels: non are on the beach like this one and then the view and location of the pool, excellent. The rooms are quite simple to be honest (with a bite more effort it... More

We spent two nights at this place after its rather good review in a Sri Lankan travel guide. First the positive factors: the location of the hotel is excellent, with direct access to a beautiful beach, there is a lawn and a well-sized swimming pool. The rooms are all facing the beach. However.... everything in the room that we were... More

I took my Mum and daughter for a short trip to Trincomalee and we ended up at the Coral Bay. We were allocated a "luxury room" where the manager tried to offer us a discounted room for SLR 8800 with A/C down the end of the hotel. It did not any running water in the shower so I had to... More

The A/C room double room with en suite toilet we booked for our one night stay, was basic with twin beds pushed together, a clothes rack, a couple of stools and a mirror. The dinner and the breakfast provided was basic Sri Lankan cuisine, which tasted great and this suited us fine. The hotel is by the beach and has... More

The Coral Bay Hotel has a great park, a swimming pool and access to the beautiful Nilaveli beach. The rooms are very basic. Instead of a mattress there is only a three cm thick foam rubber which is not enough for me. View the price of the room (Rs.7700.-) this is not enough. Also the restaurant is not as good... More

I was looking for a more budget hotel and somewhere in my search I came across a mention of Coral Bay hotel and as it seemed reasonably priced, decided to stay there. I arrived at the bus station and had the immediate attack of rickshaw drivers to take me to Nilaweli for something like 200 Rs. I made it onto... More
