Hotel Angel Inn Beach

Trincomalee

Booked from Italy, this was our last half after a 10-day tour. I'm an accommodating traveler and I've never changed a previously booked hotel losing money. The room was potentially beautiful but the beach in front is overrun with fishing boats, you can't take it because there's no space and the smell is unbearable.

We changed places as soon as we saw

It's just outside Trincomalee, on Uppuveli beach, the beach is very wide, there are a lot of fishing boats, rooms are pretty spacious and clean, bathroom is a little less clean, breakfast is mediocre, location is very nice.

Ocean view

Very helpful, friendly staff!! Great food and service. It felt more like home. It's a small family owned hotel, the rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and the ocean is just a few steps away.
You can watching the fisherman at work and get a good feel of daily life in a small fishing village.
We loved it!

Home sweet home

We had a lot of adventure, the price was going to change pretty fast, the shower was broken, the husband closed a paper hole so we could use the crane, you could only order rice and curry or noodles for dinner. The pantyhose asked for shelter a few times, but the whole attraction started for breakfast. They said that it started at 8:00, we came at 9:00, we got homemade pancakes with banana, the appliances asked for each of us, and we were 7, then they brought a bowl of fruit, tea and they asked for another 10 minutes. Tea never came, and coffee in the mouth is not allowed.

The worst service ever.

I haven't slept there but I've had lunch three times, lovely fresh fish and grilled prawns, super nice and welcoming staff who let us spend the 3 pm quietly on the beach sands!

That's cool.

Our car rental driver suggested this place for 1 night’s stay in Trinco. This was the only night we had not pre-booked online. We wanted to go Whale watching and snorkeling in Pigeon island, so our driver suggested that the owner of this place can help with all these. We spoke on the phone and the prices quoted were reasonable, so we agreed for an a/c triple room and whale watching, Pigeon Island snorkeling combo. 
This review is for all the services. Firstly, if I had read the previous hotel reviews on TripAdvisor, I may not have gone there. But my stay was mostly ok so I’m giving it a positive review.
The room was clean and modern. We were only given 2 sheets for 3 beds, but we realized this too late to bother anyone. They gave us several Wi-Fi passwords, none worked. It was as if we were the first guest to ask for it in 5 years. Try this, try that, try with capitals, try with small letters. Finally, I told my disappointed kids to give up wasting time and go to sleep.
Beds and sleep was comfy. A/c worked fine.
Early morning (6am), we went for the Whale safari arranged by the owner’s boat enterprise. We had good sightings, but long before the other boats were departing, our skipper turned the boat around and sped coastward. I argued that we were promised a 3.5 hours trip the night before but they claimed this was normally only 2 hours but max 3 hours in case whales were hard to find. Since we had already seen some, it was time to get back. But they grudgingly agreed to return to the whale area and spend another 15 minutes during which we saw the best 2-3 sightings we would’ve missed otherwise.
Dolphin sightings were also good but felt rushed. The attitude was “OK, you’ve seen them, we’ve spent a few minutes now let’s go back.”, rather than “lets relax here for 20 minutes and watch them play”
We came back for breakfast. They gave us a decent western breakfast with fruit platters. Then we went to Pigeon Island in another of the owner’s boat (which arrived after some delay). They provided life jackets and snorkels, and that really was the best experience of our trip. The guide was simply super. Since we were not confident swimmers, he took us by hand literally, swam with us, showed us all the fish and corals. He took us on two supervised dives each about 30 minutes or so. Then we spent another 30 minutes or longer just relaxing at the beach shallows. We spent about 3 hours on that trip. I think our comments about the whale trip made them work a bit harder to give us a good experience on Pigeon Island.
On our return they let us use the communal showers before our onward journey. Location wise the hotel opens on to the beach, but this is not the main Uppavelli beach, but a rather littered section. You must walk about 10 minutes to get to the clean area where the whale safari boats are. 
The owner and his wife were very pleasant and helpful, I’ve got no complaints there.

Good place to stay one night and go whale watching/Pigeon Island

- staff were friendly 
- five minute walk up the beach to restaurants 
- out of season so i didn't eat here and my dorm had only myself in it 
- I went whale watching which was really good 
- even though it was out of season I still had a nice time and the staff were friendly 
- rooms were clean, bathroom clean and well maintained garden area
- be careful walking down the beach alone at night 
- overall pleasant two night stay, the beaches aren't so clean however for two nights whale watching/pigeon island and chilling I had a nice time, also nice to watch the fishermen bring on their catch in a morning 

Pleasant stay 

Plus: - perfect location, right on the beach! - the boat excursions offered by the owner to see whales and swim with sharks - for 1200R (not even 10€) you will have a meal prepared by the owner with fresh fish, crab shrimp and squid on the floor, a pure treat!!! The least: - paid climate (it is negotiable) - NO sheets - breakfast more than right if you take back eggs from the stove, you will pay an extra (it's not much 100R but it's better if you know it beforehand) Glement, a nice little hotel without pretence that takes advantage of an ideal location however

Perfect location

I arrived to no electricity which was totally unavoidable by the property owner, we sat in the dark and negotiated a price, still paid far more then I needed too. Eventually the power came on, dorm had good lockers for bags but he AC was unplugged and the sheets were scratchy, dirty and not clean. Bathrooms had no toilet tissue (BYO). The wifi didn’t work, I spoke with the manger/owner and he magically made it work, but as soon as he left the office the wifi died.....magic controlling powers. I spoke with him and asked if he understood how unpleasant the situation with the wifi was, constantly asking for bathroom paper, having his young boy unplug the AC in our room twice and the general vibe of the hostel and he just ignored me. DO NOT STAY HERE NO MATTER WHAT! I asked “do you understand that one of your customers is unhappy?” And he said “I understand” and just walked away. Disgusting

Horrible service and experience 

I've never felt less welcomed as I did in this place. Staff kept turning off the wifi all the time and pretending nothing happened. I saw it was off, they kept saying it was on with this fake and dishonest attitude so I just pressed the button. So disrespectful towards the guests. They even ignored me when I spoke to him, just passing and closing his eyes as if I wasn't talking to him. They acted like we were idiot and kept playing this game. No lights on at night, they kept switching off and the place just looked so desert and abandoned. We had to pay extra for the AC and it was included on the reservation. Bed sheets were dirty and they reused after other guests checked out. They complained to provide us toilet paper. Toilets were dirty and no maintenance. They throw all the garbage just in the land next to the beach. Horrible For them, it seemed we were not paying anything and they were doing us a favor. Felt really disappointed because the structure of the hotel is good and they could make a nice place out of it. I even had to watch some husband and wife's fight, supposedly they are the owners. What a terrible experience... don't even book this place. No hospitality and respect with the guests. :(
