My family and I stayed at Chaaya Blue for 3 nights. We enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly and efficient apart from at the cafe. We were made to wait for over 2hours to get our lunch and even then i got the wrong order, not once but twice. The restaurant manager was very apologetic and clearly the cafe... More

Had a 2 night stay at Chaaya Blu. The hotel and rooms were very good overall and provided excellent value for money. I would probably be a lot less enthusiastic about these standards if we had paid the full rate however. Booking late we paid around one third the rate that we initially saw advertised. Food was excellent though fairly... More

Didn't stay here as was very expensive and too big and resort like, but went to the Crab restaurant they have on the beach for dinner. Obviously we ate crab and both the dishes were excellent, with tables right on the beach making it a great experience. I would highly recommend the chili crab!

We stayed in the new wing and the rooms are about the size of a dorm. Very cramped and the whole resort has a School Camp feel about it. Breakfast is OK (just another buffet).There's a bar on the beach which is over priced and under staffed but the staff there are friendly and do try. All prices incur a... More

Thank you for your kind contribution. Chaaya Blu in theme with stylish retro design is decorated with bleached wooden decks, cut cement floors, rattan furniture and denim trimmings with splash of bright orange used to contrast the blue and white hues. The guest are given 4 star comforts without letting them feel restricted and blend in with the serene environment. More

We didn't stay here but popped in to get postcards and stamps rather than go into crazy Trincomalee. The resort looks well tended and the beach was lovely, much better than where we are staying at The Jungle Beach - its got golden sands and palm trees at the end of the cove in one direction and a view of...

The hotel has a fresh fresh beachy vibe, beautiful views of the sea, with minimalist under stated decor; the bathrooms are created from polished concrete, with bleached drift wood and denim blue theme in the rooms and resort. The beach its self was nice, sea calm and warm and we enjoyed swimming and relaxing in the resort. The check in... More

Just got back after three nights and didn't want to leave. Our beach chalets were slightly smaller than expected but very comfortable- with a lovely sit out balcony overlooking a gorgeous beach. Even though we were warned by people that the food was bad it was in fact very good and we were spoilt for choice at the buffets. The... More
