Accueil aux petits soins Ambiance familiale chaleureuse Rapport qualité-prix imbattable Repas sur commande (3-4$) délicieux Nous recommandons vivement
La disponibilità di Fernando e la sua famiglia!! Il parcheggio interno sorvegliato (ottimo per chi noleggia il tuk tuk o si sposta in macchina) L’aria condizionata e il ventilatore La possibilità di mangiare in loco a un ottimo prezzo rispetto ai ristoranti di Nilaveli. Anche la colazione è buona e il caffè merita E ovviamente la vicinanza al mare!
Al nostro arrivo non sembrava esserci la nostra prenotazione. La stanza che è stata a noi assegnata non corrispondeva a quelle delle foto della nostra prenotazione su Booking Le camere non hanno finestre chiuse, per questa ragione è un pochino rumoroso e possono entrare alcuni insetti
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Fernando und sein Team sind unglaublich freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Man merkt, dass ihnen das Wohl ihrer Gäste wirklich am Herzen liegt und sie alles dafür tun, dass man sich rundum wohlfühlt. Die Unterkunft hat eine gute Lage und auch das Essen war wirklich sehr lecker. Wir haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen und können die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank an Fernando und sein tolles Team!
I absolutely loved staying here. It felt more like a home than a hotel, with such a calm and peaceful atmosphere. It’s perfect if you want to experience the slow, simple local life in Nilaveli with beautiful beaches and a lagoon nearby, or if you’re a digital nomad looking for a quiet place away from the busy city life. The hosts were genuinely kind, helpful and very thoughtful. We were two girls travelling together, and they paid extra attention to our safety, which made us feel very comfortable. We arrived a few hours early, and they kindly let us check in early without any hesitation. We loved the warm family vibe, delicious local food and homemade coffee. I’d definitely recommend this place, even for solo female travellers. I really enjoyed my stay and would happily come back for a longer stay.
Nothing really. We had a lovely and comfortable stay and enjoyed everything about the place.
Die Unterkunft liegt ruhig und wunderschön im Grünen unter Palmen. zum Strand sind es nur ein paar Minuten zu Fuß. das Essen in der Unterkunft ist fantastisch und das Alles zu einem sehr fairen Preis! Jeden Morgen und Abend gibt es frisches, regionales Essen, besser als in den umliegenden Restaurants! Fernando und seine Familie sind perfekte Gastgeber, immer freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Egal bei welchem Anliegen, ob Roller-Verleih, Transport oder Freizeit-Aktivitäten in der Umgebung wie schnorcheln und tauchen, Fernando hilft stets bei der Organisation und arrangiert immer sehr faire Preise! Wir würden einen Aufenthalt bei Fernando wirklich empfehlen und immer wieder kommen!
Fernando made a nice breakfast, also helped arrange the snorkeling for a cheaper price! The place is super calming and silence for a good sleep, 10 min walk from the beach and has an amazing atmosphere. Could also meet nice people there. The chale was clean, with aircon and the restaurants are also close by foot. There is no warm water, but you get so hot from the beach that it is no problem! 😂
Sehr freundlicher, hilfsbereiter und sympathischer Hotelbesitzer. Die Lage ist ruhig und entspannend und man läuft 10-15 Minuten zum Strand. Der Kaffee beim Frühstück war auch sehr gut!
Das Zimmer war schon recht finster, da die Fester mit Stoff bespannt war, damit die Klimaanlage eine Wirkung hat, da keine Scheiben in den Fenstern sind. Es gibt halt keine Ablagen, Regale oder Schränke, um irgendetwas abzulegen. Nur 2 kleine Nachttischchen. Das fehlt wirklich, denn alles auf den Boden legen ist wirklich nicht schön. Bisschen schade, denn die Zimmer könnten bisschen schöner sein....sehr basic.
il proprietario é stato gentile e molto disponibile, ci ha aiutato in tutto, abbiamo sempre cenato da lui e sono state tra le migliori cene in sri lanka, veramente consigliato
niente
Fernando est tres gentil et serviable rien à dire nous sommes bien accueilli.
Les chambres ne sont pas isolées et l’appel à la prière de la mosquée à 4h45 et 5h30 tous les matins nous a empêché de nous reposer correctement
Super schöne Lage inmitten des Dorfes von Nilaveli und trotzdem nur ein paar Gehminuten zum Strand! Das Zimmer war komfortabel und der Besitzer sehr nett😊 er hat uns sogar geholfen, eine Schnorcheltour zu organisieren. Das gemeinsame Abendessen war super lecker und es gab einen riesigen Fisch 🐟
Man sollte vorsichtshalber Ohrstöpsel mitnehmen, da der Muezzin morgens etwas laut ist 😄
Nuestra estancia en Pearl Inn Green fue muy agradable. La habitación era sencilla pero cómoda, con una cama confortable y todo lo necesario para pasar unos días en Nilaveli. Queremos destacar especialmente a Fernando, que estuvo pendiente de nosotros en todo momento y fue increíblemente amable. Nos ayudó a organizar el snorkel en Angel Rock y siempre estaba dispuesto a ayudarnos con cualquier cosa que necesitáramos. El ambiente del alojamiento es relajado y tranquilo, con mucha vegetación alrededor, y está además bastante cerca de la playa. Pero, sin duda, lo que hace especial este sitio es el trato humano. Fernando consigue que te sientas cuidado y bien recibido desde el primer momento. Muchas gracias por todo. 😊
It was the best accomodation. Fernando and his wife was very friendly. We felt like in our home. They cooked delicious food 🙂 I recommend it!!👍💯
Die Gastgeber waren super freundlich und haben einem mit Humor sofort ein sehr gutes Gefühl gegeben! Das Essen schmeckt ausgezeichnet und es wird einem in allen Belangen geholfen!
Colazione buonissima ed abbondante, disponibilità dello staff, anche nel cambiarci camera, decisamente migliore e che corrispondeva a quella prenotata, visto l’inconveniente nella prima assegnataci. Fernando è stato altresì gentile nel trovarci il driver per il nostro spostamento ed organizzarci il whales watching
All’arrivo ci è stata assegnata una camera che non corrispondeva alle foto della camera prenotata, con standard ridotti rispetto alle aspettative e nella quale abbiamo avuto un “piccolo” problema.
The Hosts are excellent Mr Fernando and his wife was kind and welcoming from beginning to end, always supplying us with fresh cold water, they can organise snorkeling trips, whale watching with a local boatman whos knowledgable and fairly priced. The room and bathroom are also really lovely with good air con and fans
Everything was great
Das Personal ist absolut liebenswürdig. Man kümmert sich rührend um einen und fühlt sich sofort als Teil der Familie. Bei allen Anfragen wird man bestens unterstützt. Sehr einladende Atmosphäre der Anlage. Ein absolutes Highlight: Der Gastgeber kocht ein ausgezeichnetes Seafood-Curry, das man unbedingt probieren sollte! Es war insgesamt sehr schön, mit den Gastgebern ins Gespräch zu kommen und einen persönlichen Einblick in ihr Leben vor Ort zu erhalten. Das hat unseren Aufenthalt wirklich besonders gemacht.
2 Kleinigkeiten: Unser Zimmer hatte keine geschlossenen Fenster, sondern nur Fliegengitter mit Vorhängen davor, weshalb es etwas dunkel war. Zudem brauchte die Klimaanlage dadurch etwas länger, um den Raum effektiv abzukühlen, und es war streckenweise ein wenig laut.
La amabilidad del personal
Nada
Food was great, clean place and friendly staff
15 min walk to beach
We loved the position of the hotel which is near the sea but at the same time in the countryside. Fernando took care of us and helped us everyday. Don't forget to give some caresses to their red cat and dogs.
The room was not so clean.
Fernando and everyone there creates a family atmosphere which we really loved. They cared about us and we instantly felt part of the group. Fernando arranged for us very cheap transfer to Colombo and a couple other activities we wanted to do . Very cute accommodation. The only proper coffee we drank was from him. Thank you so much for the amazing stay.
L’emplacement et le cadre est idéal, 5 min à pied de la plage.
Nous avons été très déçus de l’hôtel. À notre arrivée, nous avons dû patienter une vingtaine de minutes pour que l’hôte nous reçoive car il arrosait ses plantes. La première nuit avons été réveillé aux environs de 3:30AM du matin par les voisins car ils parlaient très fort depuis l’extérieur jusqu’à 5:00 AM. La 2 eme nuit a 6:40 AM par de grosses enceintes de musique forte. De plus, les boissons (café, thé, lait) ne sont pas inclus dans le petit déjeuner et sont facturées en supplément. Cela ne nous a pas été précisé lors de notre arrivée. Notre fils a seulement pris 1 tartine pour le petit déjeuner et l’hôte a voulu le facturer comme un petit déjeuner individuel. Lors de notre Check out, il ne nous a pas aidé avec les valises ni pris le temps de nous dire au revoir, nous avons dû aller le chercher !! Hallucinant !!
La struttura è molto accogliente,pochi alloggi che creano un ambiente familiare, una zona comune dove poter fare colazione pranzo e cena con un eccellente cucina ! A meno di 10 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia di Nilaveli. Punto di forza dell'alloggio Fernando e Niro i migliori host che abbiamo incontrato nel nostro viaggio in Sri Lanka!!
Abbiamo soggiornato due notti e avevamo prenotato tre camere, non se ne salvava una. Nel complesso ha una bella disposizione con aree comuni e ogni capanna ha il suo dehor con sedie e fili per stendere, ma le camere all’interno sono veramente tenute male, sporche e disorganizzate. Anche la posizione a Nilaveli non è delle migliori, strade completamente sterrate e non ci sono ristoranti vicino ma solo la spiaggia, rispetto a Uppuveli dove c’è più vita. Nonostante tutto il personale è sempre stato gentile come in tutto il paese, ma accettano solo pagamenti in contanti.
El personal es súper agradable y atento, no nos faltó de nada, además los desayunos muy buenos y muy baratos. Soy celíaca y lo tuvieron súper en cuenta.
Very nice people. Good food. Thanks for the nice stay
Besonders hilfsbereites Team, man fühlt sich willkommen und gut aufgehoben. Jederzeit wird der Gast unterstützt. Gute Englischkenntnisse bei allen Mitarbeitern. Beim Frühstück ist der im Vergleich wirklich gute Kaffee bemerkenswert. Klimaanlage funktioniert einwandfrei. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Der Garten ist hübsch und der Strand nah.
Die Hütten sind einfach, das Badezimmer könnte eine Renovierung vertragen.
The hotel is well located, and we really appreciated that they offer meals directly at the property. At certain times of the day, especially early in the morning, it can be a little difficult to find a restaurant open for breakfast in the area, so having the possibility to eat at the hotel is very convenient. The breakfast is also reasonably priced. We were also very happy with the laundry service, and the staff were generally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The bed was extremely comfortable, both the mattress and the pillows, and we slept very well. The room had both air conditioning and a fan, which made sleeping comfortably much easier given the climate.
We experienced a few organisational issues during our stay. About two weeks before arriving, we had arranged with the hotel to book a trip to Pigeon Island through them. However, when we arrived, they did not seem to have any record of us wanting to do the excursion the following day. We had to remind them twice, and we did not receive final confirmation until the morning of the excursion itself, which created some unnecessary uncertainty. We also had an issue during check-out. Our Booking confirmation stated that the accommodation would charge our card, so we had not planned to carry enough cash to pay for the entire stay. However, at check-out we were told that they did not accept cards and that payment had to be made in cash. When we showed them our Booking confirmation, their initial reaction was not particularly pleasant, as they insisted that we were the ones who had misunderstood the reservation, despite us showing them what was written in the confirmation. This created an uncomfortable moment. However, we also want to be fair and mention that afterwards they handled the situation better and paid for a tuk-tuk so that we could go to an ATM and withdraw the money, which we appreciated. Nevertheless, the situation delayed our departure when we had a long journey ahead of us. Finally, the cleanliness of the bathroom could be considerably improved. When we arrived, it was not properly clean: the sink and the mirror were dirty, and there was an extremely strong smell, possibly from silicone, glue or some product that had recently been used in the bathroom. We also missed some basic details, such as having a bin in the room. Overall, we had the impression that this particular room had been prepared somewhat hastily.
Accoglienza e attenzione ai clienti Personale attento e di supporto
Da migliorare le strutture
Amazing accommodation. Really helpful staff, they helped us arrange everything we wanted at the best price. You can rent a bike there as well. Definitely worth the money.
The room didn't have toilet paper and hand soap and there was only one power outlet.
Great place to stay, clean bungalow. Helpful owner. I could't recommend more.
Nothing
We felt at home from the very first day. ❤️ The owners and staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and over our stay, they truly became like friends to us. We especially loved the lovely evenings together and the wonderful atmosphere. The dinner was absolutely fantastic — fresh, delicious, special, and with a very fair price for the quality. The location is also great, with a beautiful nearby beach that is peaceful and far less touristy. The cabanas are cozy and have everything you need. The bathroom is quite simple, but the air conditioning works perfectly and is definitely a lifesaver during the hot nights in Trincomalee/Nilaveli. 😄 We can wholeheartedly recommend this place and would love to come back one day! 🌴❤️
Fernando y Niro son excepcionales. No os faltará de nada. Las cenas muy baratas y muy muy buenas! La playa muy cerca. La main road también. El sitio muy tranquilo.
Sin agua caliente y tuvimos que pedir jabón, nos dieron una pastilla para 3 días.
This place was amazing. Don't get me wrong, if you are looking for luxury 5* resorts then this is not for you. BUT if you are looking for a genuine Sri Lankan experience then this is the place! The accommodation doesn't have glass in the windows - it is canvas/fly-screens so it can be quite noisy, especially early mornings when the birds are singing but the aircon works well and makes sure nature stays outside the room. Our bathroom had gaps at the roof-line so you may share it with geckos etc - it all added to the fun experience for us! Nilaveli main beach was beautiful and only 10mins walk down safe roads. Locals are friendly and there are restaurants, shops etc all in walking distance, or a tuk tuk down to the other end of Nilaveli will take 10mins and cost 500-600 rupees (for the more posh beach restaurants). Then there is the Manager. He is the real gem of the stay. We left feeling like family after 4 nights. He does everything possible to make you feel at home. His food is amazing (2 USD for breakfast, 3 for dinner) - we had breakfast every day, sometimes omelettes and toast/jam, sometimes fresh coconut pancakes and fruit. We ate dinner twice including fresh whole local fish and cuttlefish etc. He arranged tuk tuks, snorkeling trips at cheaper rates than sold at the beach, the list goes on. Nice strong coffee in the morning for a small charge and he even made my daughter chocolate milkshakes for free during breakfasts! It is not luxury but it was an unforgettable experience that we would love to come back and do again.
Be prepared for early wake-ups from nature's alarm clocks 😉
Ospitalità, cucina, location splendida.
Kindness of the staff! Especially Fernando!
Breakfast (especially the good coffee), dinner, the bed, laundry service and most importantly Fernando and his teams hospitality.
We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad bij Pearl in Green. De huisjes zijn sfeervol en authentiek en liggen op een heerlijke locatie, op korte loopafstand van het strand. De host was ontzettend vriendelijk, sprak goed Engels en nam de tijd om ons van leuke tips en achtergrondinformatie over de omgeving te voorzien. We voelden ons echt welkom en er werd goed met ons meegedacht.
Als er één punt is dat beter kan, dan zijn het de faciliteiten. Met name het sanitair zou wel een opknapbeurt kunnen gebruiken. Verder hebben we enorm genoten van ons verblijf en zouden we Pearl in Green zeker aanbevelen aan mensen die op zoek zijn naar een rustige, charmante plek dicht bij zee.
Hele aardige family en staff. Heerlijk ontbijt. Huisjes zijn op 10 miniten lppen van heerlijk strand met duikschool, snorkelmogeljjkheden en verschillende strandtenten.
Habitación cómoda y muy tranquila. Destacamos la amabilidad y gran dedicación de Fernando, ayudándonos y dándonos las mejores recomendaciones en todo lo posible. Desayunos y cenas muy ricos y a la vez muy barato. Calidad - precio excelente!
Sehr netter und fürsorglicher Host, nette Hütten mit ordentlichen Zimmern Bei Wunsch macht die Familie selbst Abendessen und Frühstück
manchmal etwas laut
Stuff were all amazing!!
Nous avons été très bien accueillies, avec un jus frais. La chambre était propre, la salle de bain aussi. Nous avons mangé sur place matin et soir, les repas sont copieux, variés. Fernando nous a aidées à trouver des tuktuk, il nous a conseillé le snorkeling autour de Angel Rock et il nous a trouvé un taxi pour aller jusqu'à Sigiriya. La famille est aux petits soins, l'environnement est agréable, nous conseillons vraiment cet hébergement.
Rien
Fernando and his wife are such an accommodating and hardworking couple!
The bathroom had a smell and insects constantly.
A nice relaxed guesthouse very close to Nilaveli beach. The host Fernando and his team/family will treat you like their own. He goes out of his way to ensure you have a comfortable stay. The accommodation dinners are exceptional, they were better than the restaurants I ate at in Sri Lanka.
L’endroit est au calme, près des restaurants quand même, facile pour aller manger ou se balader et près de la mer.
Rien, tout était top!
Nous avons adoré le cadre et l’emplacement, l’accueil et la disponibilité de Fernando et de l’équipe et surtout les repas du soirs sur mesure !! Délicieux ! C’est chouette d’organiser la sortie snorkeling avec Fernando qui saura vous trouvez un bon plan à prix défiant toutes concurrences.
L’insonorisation de la chambre (pas de fenêtres, mais un treillis avec un rideau) ce qui rend parfois les nuits très courte suivant ce qu’il se passe à l’extérieur..
Pear in Green is absoluut de plek waar je moet verblijven. De service is uitstekend, de accommodaties zijn schoon en de bedden liggen heerlijk. Wat het eten betreft: dit was de eerste plek waar we écht fantastisch hebben gegeten. Nogmaals, ben je op zoek naar een fijne, rustige plek waar alles tot in de puntjes is geregeld, dan is dit dé plek!
Fernando è la vera perla della struttura. Premuroso, gentile, disponibile e anche un ottimo cuoco! (Non so se cucinasse lui o la sua famiglia, ma è stato tutto ottimo). Il Turkish daal me lo dimenticherò difficilmente da quanto era buono!!!
We stayed at Pearl Inn Green for one week and it was one of those places that you never forget. From the moment we arrived, the whole family welcomed us with such genuine kindness that by the end of our stay we truly felt like part of the family. Their hospitality is something very special. For such a reasonable price, you get everything you need: a clean private room with an attached bathroom, shower, fan, and air conditioning. The peaceful tropical garden surrounding the property creates a relaxing atmosphere where you can really unwind after a day of exploring. The home-cooked food is another highlight. Breakfast ($2 per person), lunch ($3), and dinner ($3) were all incredibly tasty, freshly prepared, and excellent value for money. We ended up eating there many times because it was simply delicious. Laundry is available as well for a reasonable price. The location is also perfect. The beautiful Nilaveli Beach is only about a 7-minute walk away, while Trincomalee can be reached in just 15–20 minutes by tuk-tuk. The family can also arrange dolphin, whale, and crocodile watching tours, as well as trips to Pigeon Island to snorkel with turtles and reef sharks, all at honest local prices without the tourist markup. We created unforgettable memories during our stay and will always remember the warmth and generosity of this wonderful family. If you’re looking for authentic Sri Lankan hospitality, great value, and a peaceful place to stay in the Nilaveli area, look no further. We would recommend Pearl Inn Green to anyone without hesitation and would happily stay here again. Thank you for making our week so special! ❤️
Nothing at all—except having to say goodbye!
Good room in a peaceful location. Friendly owners
A slight sense of abandonment of common areas. Not as near the beach as it looks, as the entrance faces the opposite way and you must walk around the quarter.
Tolle Unterkunft
What a cute cabana, really good to relax in the evening. Beds were good! Close to the beach as well. But what stands out is the host! He will run around helping everyone and makes sure you’re ok and everything is handled. Good washing service as well.
Nothing
The owners are very kind, talkative and interesting to talk to. The place was built with clever eco-systems in mind and feels like an oasis. Breakfast and dinner were homemade and deliciously prepared.
It is more remote than other places made it hard to get tuk tuks at times.
The genuine hospitality from Mr Fernando. Aircon in the comfortable rooms. The coffee. Close proximity to Pigeon Island.
Privacy and the wtcherman was so helpfull .well educated man was there to fascilitate everything to us.Man dilivered us the best he could found and the guidances were provided to stay comfy.
Overall good
Fernando and Niro were absolute gems. It was the best and most memorable stay of our whole trip. We felt like home with friends with all the interactions we had including with other guests. Food was so delicious. We got help with laundry and renting a scooter and other things. Close to Nilaveli beach. We hope to come back soon.
Fernando the host is a GEM. He went out of his way to make our stay so memorable.. we had a lovely bungalow, great food & wonderful company with Fernando & other beautiful guests!
L’accueil est incroyable - gros coup de coeur pour cette jolie famille
Rien
Really lovely accommodation in a peaceful, local and rural location, lovely spacious gardens, 5-10 mins from beach which is beautiful. Had traditional meal on second night with other travellers which was really enjoyable. Great food and great company. Fernando was very welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble for him.
Clean room, linen and towels provided, staff were very kind and attentive to needs.
No problems.
Garden
Meals are not Available.
The family who run the place are very kind, friendly and welcoming. Each meal was 10/10 and great value. Would definitely stay here again.

Close to beach, restaurants and shops. Room was basic,clean and spacious. Lovely friendly, attentive owner/host. Offers laundry service, scooter hire and local advice
We loved our stay at Pearl Inn Green! Fernando made the experience for us very special. He’s such a thoughtful host and makes you feel right at home. His breakfasts, dinners and coffee were delicious! This is a real “value for money” experience.
Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an unglaublich willkommen gefühlt – die Herzlichkeit des Personals und des Hosts ist wirklich außergewöhnlich. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das köstliche sri-lankische Frühstück und das selbstgemachte Dinner, das mit so viel Liebe zubereitet wurde. Die Unterkunft liegt idyllisch, weit abseits vom Massentourismus, und bietet ein authentisches Sri-Lanka-Erlebnis. Jeder Wunsch wird einem sprichwörtlich von den Lippen abgelesen – man fühlt sich sofort wie zuhause. Der schöne Strand ist nur 15 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt, alternativ fährt man für kleines Geld (200 Rupien) bequem mit dem Tuk Tuk. Es ist eine kleine, charmante und idyllische Unterkunft, die wir jedem ans Herz legen können, der Ruhe, Authentizität und echte Gastfreundschaft sucht. Ein absoluter Geheimtipp!
Wir haben uns bei Nirosh und Fernendo sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Die beiden sind die liebenswürdigsten und warmherzigsten Menschen, denen ich seit langem begegnet bin. Während unseres 4 tägigen Aufenthalts ging es unserer Tochter gesundheitlich schlecht und die beiden haben sich so um sie gesorgt und uns umsorgt. Sie haben uns auch einen guten Arzt vermittelt, der unsere Tochter sogar kostenlos behandelt hat. Vielen, vielen Dank Nirosh! Wir haben auch den Strand genossen, der zu Fuß in ca. 10 Minuten zu erreichen ist. Dort gibt es nur wenige ausländische Touristen und man kann gut baden, das Meer ist warm und der Boden nur sehr flach abfallend. Wir können Pearl Inn Green mit seinen liebevollen, hilfsbereiten Gastgebern wärmstens weiterempfehlen! Gerne kommen wir eines Tages wieder! ;-)
What can I say... we absolutely loved our stay at Pearl Inn Green. After backpacking Sri Lanka for three weeks, this was the highlight of our entire trip for two reasons: firstly, the hosts became our friends, and secondly, Nilaveli is the perfect location to relax and unwind without getting bored. We'd had a stressful journey to the accommodation due to a very persistent tuk-tuk driver, but the moment we arrived, our stress disappeared thanks to the lovely hosts. Upon arrival, we were greeted kindly and welcomed with refreshments of our choice, and they ensured that the driver left us alone. After this, we only used tuk-tuks arranged through Pearl Inn Green, and we had no further problems. Our bed and room were huge, much bigger than we expected. Everything was clean. The prices were fantastic and incredibly affordable, as the hosts do not believe in overcharging tourists, which was refreshing to see. We enjoyed multiple tasty meals, including string hoppers with chicken curry, and even CRAB! We happened to mention that we were eager to try the infamous Sri Lankan crab curry, and the following night, they prepared it for us, which truly shows how much they care about creating the perfect guest experience. The accommodation is authentic, simple, and peaceful, just a short walk from the beach. We travelled to Trincomale, which is a 20-minute tuk-tuk ride away, on one of the days to shop, visit the beautiful Hindu temples, and a deer park where you can pet and feed wild deer. I could go on and on about how much we loved our stay, but the highlight of it all was the wonderful hosts who were so easy to talk to. Every night, we enjoyed chatting with Niro and Fernando for hours, exchanging stories and discussing a variety of topics.
Der Service war richtig toll und sehr zuvorkommend. Der Host war super nett und lustig und wir hatten eine schöne Zeit.
Una casetta adorabile in un posto a tema spiaggia che trasmette relax. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, il proprietario è stato fantastico, oltre a darci molteplici informazioni cucina benissimo. Con pochi dollari potrete avere delle colazioni/cene locali davvero squisite. Se passate a Nilaveli fermatevi assolutamente qui!
no words! host and house were both amazing! Starting from him, he has been wonderful. He helped us with everything, starting from day one until the end when even after check-out hours he has offered himself to keep our bags and even let us have a shower in another cottage! Other than that he was also very caring and spoke perfect english! The cottage was very clean and the bed super comfortable. There was air conditioning and a fan as well. It is located very close to the beach and pigeon island, which you can reach just by walking to the taxi boat service. An honorable mention goes also to the host’s beautiful and sweet cat, which we nicknamed romeo and to all the other animals surrounding the place!
There is no hot water but the water itself isn’t cold
I had a wonderful stay at Pearl Inn Green. The place was very comfortable, clean, and peaceful, making it a perfect spot to relax. The service was excellent – friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Everything was well arranged and made my stay enjoyable. Safe place and very near to Nilaveli Beach. I truly appreciated the warm hospitality and would definitely recommend Pearl Inn Green to anyone looking for a great experience.
Fernando was a super host, serving his famous coffee he showed great hospitality. Very attentive and caring.
Bear in mind it's a simple beach hut, reflecting the price.
Staying here was such a lovely experience! The hosts are genuinely warm and helpful, always making sure you feel at home. The cabanas are simple yet comfortable – perfect if you’re looking for peace and quiet, with the added charm of village life all around. You might hear the early morning prayers from the nearby mosques, which adds a touch of local atmosphere. Breakfast ($2) and dinner ($3) are delicious and homemade, and they also offer laundry service ($3/kg) – very convenient! The rooms are bug-free with sealed windows, and at night you can watch bats swooping gracefully above the cabanas. The beach is just a 15-minute walk or a quick $1 tuk-tuk ride away. Nilaveli itself is a small, authentic village with plenty of local eateries, while Trincomalee (25 minutes away, about $10 by tuk-tuk) is the place to go for shopping. You can easily book rides with PickMe or simply ask the hosts to arrange a driver. It’s a wonderful spot if you’re looking to slow down, enjoy the simple life, and experience the real Sri Lanka. 🌸
Camera pulita, bagno "open air" grande, verandina davanti attrezzata con 2 sdraio. Possibilità di fare colazione (USD 2), pranzare o cenare (USD 3) in struttura che soprattutto per il prezzo pagato è andata oltre le mie aspettative. Chiacchiere piacevoli con il gestore, sempre gentile e disponibile.
La spiaggia, non vicina come mi aspettavo, è quella frequentata per lo più da locali. Colazione "minimal" rispetto a quanto offerto da altre strutture (ma prezzo contenuto, quindi ci può stare)
Nirosh and Ernest were lovely hosts and took care of our every need. Great location very close to the beach.
La amabilidad del personal. La zona común de comida, con el desayuno a 2$ y la cena a 3$, súper recomendado. Los niños son muy bienvenidos (en general en todo el país), pero aquí en concreto tuvieron muchos detalles con nuestra hija, muchas gracias.
El baño: aunque suele pasar en Sri Lanka, no había agua caliente (tampoco hacía falta por el calor). Debía haber alguna fuga de agua porque la pared y el suelo estaban constantemente mojados. El techo del baño es de uralita por lo que en el baño hacía calor extra.
Personale molto gentile e accogliente, ci siamo sentiti a casa, hanno cercato di aiutarci in tutti i modi, con la prenotazione di mezzi di trasporto e hanno tenuto i nostri bagagli fino a sera il giorno della partenza. A disposizione lo stendino x appendere i costumi bagnati e possibilità di farsi lavare i vestiti. Colazione e cena ottima e abbondante. A pochi minuti di cammino dalla bellissima spiaggia.
Una de las cabañas en las que nos quedamos, no tenía nada que ver con la otra. El techo tenía agujeros, el baño estaba todo mojado cuando llegamos y tenía humedad. Por otro lado, la cama no estaba pegada a la pared por lo que era un poco incómodo. Las ventanas eran una maya fina metálica y se escuchaba y se veía todo. En cuanto la localización, está a unos 15 minutos andando de la playa. En la otra habitación, que se supone que era mejor, cada vez que tirabas de la cisterna el váter perdía agua..La ventana del baño tenía una rendija desde la cual podían verte.Otro dato curioso, es que no había sabanas solo una bajera.
Struttura davvero bella, personale gentilissimo! Ci siamo sentite come a casa, ci hanno organizzato l’affitto dello scooter, driver, cena e colazione e sono stati davvero onesti e disponibili. Consiglio vivamente se volete vivere un’esperienza di relax!
Logement un peu simple, eau froide uniquement. En revanche le site est magnifique, à 5 minutes à pied de la plage. La sympathie du propriétaire compense largement les petits défauts.
Eine wunderschöne Oase in Nilaveli, naja am Strand, sehr sehr schöne, gut ausgestattete Zimmer und sehr liebe Gastgeber, die günstig und zuvorkommend Transporte und Mahlzeiten organisieren. Es war rundum perfekt:)
If you will visit Niavelli and want a nice stay for a good price we suggest you Pearl Inn Green. The houses are good and well situated to the beach. It is just a few minutes walking. Friendly people that are interested in you and we had good meals. Don’t hesitate to book your stay here
Tutto: famiglia super accogliente, gentilissimo, disponibili e di grande aiuto. Ci hanno dato molti consigli. Colazione ottima e anche cena! Avevamo la cabanas deluxe ed era tutto perfetto. Fanno anche servizio lavanderia. Ci torneremo sicuramente! Soprattutto per il caffè di Fernando!!!! Valentina e Francesco
Nulla
With our three kids we had a wonderful time here. Niro and Fernando are very welcoming and helpful. They prepare delicious food, they even prepared a huge fish wich was caught by our son. Most of all we appreciated the atmosphere of common humanity and connection. We hope to come back some day!
No real drawbacks. Any problems where quickly fixed.
