耳東氵罒幸一止Booked two king size ocean rooms for our 4 days 3 night stay at Trinco Blu,
was pleasant by the hotel beach front location and blue/white theme.
we arrived in at 3am of our check in date, reception staff was helpful and quick to plan alternative rooms for us at additional costs, our pre-booked rooms were given to us the same day after.
the hotel is truly beach front with beautiful sands and decorated surroundings, pool is attractive and rooms are spacious and we'll kept, amenities complete.
the only draw back is the shower area tends to clog up every time and we are left with a small pool of flood, housekeeping takes time and there is only one restaurant within the compound serving food, good thing there is a long street of restaurants outside it's compound which is great to explore.
staff are friendly and pleasant all around, and we do enjoy the clam and peaceful quietness of the whole place even though it's fully booked.
Trinco Blu is a place i will recommend for those who wants time away from bustling cities, go for full or half board package if you want to recluse yourself if not venture out for a little local life traits.
there are ample sights and things to do around this city, you can lost yourself in time here with a lover, a good book or just your thoughts.
nothing happening much at night so it's always early sleep and early wake but the routine is good for the soul and rest for the heart.

Dasha_SerdiukovaThis is a very good hotel. Everything is clean, tidy, and beautiful. The rooms are spacious, and the grounds are well-maintained.
The room comes with toiletries such as shampoo, shower gel, a shaving kit, body lotion, and a dental kit. Personally, I would have liked slippers as walking barefoot on the cold tiles wasn't very comfortable. Bathrobes would also have been a nice addition.
There were never any issues finding sun loungers on the beach; there were always plenty available. It wasn't until the third day that we realized you could ask for mattresses for the loungers, and they would bring them to you. The hotel staff seems to hide them somewhere overnight.
Regarding the sea, many complain about the difficult entry due to rocks, seaweed, and coral. For us, this was a plus because we love to snorkel. We saw the best coral on the left side of the beach, near the buoys, before reaching the big boat. The right side had only seaweed and was very shallow. It's better to swim in the morning, as the tide goes out in the afternoon. The water was a bit cloudy all days of our stay. We saw an interesting lionfish and a moray eel. On the hotel grounds, there's a flock of annoying crows. One afternoon, while relaxing on the beach, they swiped wet wipes from my bag, so it's best to close all your belongings when you go for a swim.
About the food: it's quite decent and varied. For those who don't like spicy food, there's a chance of getting burned. For example, one day the noodles were delicious and not spicy, but on other days they were terribly hot. It's best to avoid the wooden food stand, as everything there is spicy. They occasionally offered shrimp, but they weren't peeled. Locals, of course, eat everything with their hands, but we found it uncomfortable. For dinner, only water is provided; other drinks cost extra.
At first glance, the prices on the bar menu seemed reasonable, but then they add a 30% service charge, which sometimes isn't even provided. For example, I walked to the bar myself, ordered a drink, and carried it back to my sun lounger. Where was the service there? Yet, it was still +30%.
We usually went to nearby cafes for lunch and typically got takeout to eat in our room because these cafes don't have air conditioning.
We couldn't find any decent shops nearby, only a shabby kiosk where you could at most buy water.
It's quite a distance from Colombo airport. You need to be prepared for at least a 5-hour drive on narrow roads. However, we did see an elephant on the way, so we didn't even have to go on a safari!
Overall, we were satisfied with our holiday at this hotel.

JMartinhoThe hotel looks very primising in the pictures, beautiful setting and facilities. Unfortunately we were a bit disqppointed on the way it is managed. It looks like the place is abandoned relying on its own structure and pictures.
Pros:
- beautiful setting and location, in front of a beautiful beach.
- rooms are well done, big bathrooms, nice outdoor area.
- faclities have a beautiful decoration, the bar, the restaurant.
Cons:
- cleaning! The resort has a cleaning issue. To the point that we wrote ”clean me” with our fingers on the restaurant toilet mirror, and it was there during our entire stay. Nothing has regular cleaning, spots everywhere, toilets are terrible specialy the poil toilet (see pictures).
- bar drinks are not good. We tried many drinks and juices in all the hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka, and this one we had to give up, drink after drink, juice after juice, were not good at all. Also the drink glasse come very very dirty.
- bar is beautiful but never had any music during our stay. Its a silent empty place, no one uses it... and the bartender usualy is not there which makes it a ghost place.
- service is welcoming but not prepared. For example before you reach the breakfast area upstairs they ask you: ”what do you want for breakfast? So i dont have to go upstairs to ask”, overall staff is tired, not motivated and have no training, they are as abandoned as the hotel.
- spa was closed during our entire stay, because the lady had days off. So we booked a hotel with a Spa that did not exist...you have to be lucky not to book on her days off.
- when at check-out i tried to tell them the place have lots of potential but they need to pay attention to this details they just replied: thank you for your stay, please make us a review on tripadvisor! So they just don't pay attention... which is sad to see. I wish they could change the management and have someone motivated and energic to transform the place into the best hotel in Sri Lanka, because they could be.

Guest UserBeautifully located right by the sea. If you don't like sandy feet, this isn't the place for you, as the entire courtyard and pool area are covered in fine white sand. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are functional and clean. The bathroom is very spacious, with a large shower, double vanity, and a bathtub. The breakfast and lunch buffets are delicious, with everything your heart could desire. Would definitely come back anytime!

Guest UserОтличная гостиница, выбирали из всех соседних отелей по побережью, но выбор остановили не Calm и не пожалели. Во первых, отличный пляж с тенистыми местами с лежаками, во вторых после всех поездок по ШЛ и остановок в маленьких отелях, хотелось чего-то аля Турция, поэтому параметру отель очень достойный и большой и третий момент, после всех купаний в больших волнах на ШЛ, хотелось уже спокойно покупаться! Все это мы получили, но правда вода не совсем прозрачная, поскольку слишком мелкий песок не успевает оседать даже с маленькими волнами. Все остальное - супер! Большие номера, сервис, обслуживание! Нам бесплатно улучшили номер, с отдельным выходом к океану, в общем поймали в этом отеле полный кайф и релакс. Отдельно конечно надо учитывать, что сама Пассикуда это очень маленькая деревня, питаться лучше только в отеле или в соседних. Что то купить из продуктов или К/Б сложно, кому это важно, то лучше это сделать заранее)
