I had planned for four days; I extended to eight. The swimming pool is beautiful. I swam laps every day. Room is spotless, staff is very friendly and helpful, short path to the beach, nice balcony overlooking the pool. Very relaxing. The wifi could be improved. I had good reception from the balcony, but spotty in the room. I felt like the place was a really good value. I plan to be back. Trincomalee is a nice place to visit. The train ride up was spectacular (but you need to get up early to catch the train from Colombo). A special treat for vegetarians. Rice N' Curry maybe 400meters away offers a nightly vegetarian buffet for about $5 US. It is spectacular. Some very exotic vegetables, very well prepared, and all you can eat.
