I stayed there for 4 nights and I really enjoyed it. The room is smaller but super cosy, modern and the open air bathroom is really cool! :-) Whole apartment is about 5 mins walking to the beach. Rizvi (owner) is a nice person, caring and he made my stay in Trincomalee really comfortable. As a female solo traveler I felt comfortable and safe in Nongu and I would definitely stay here again.

Some rooms feature a seating area for your convenience. The rooms come with a private bathroom.

I can’t even put into words how much we enjoyed our stay. Yes, the rooms were great with A/C, we loved the filtered water and the location was fantastic, but it was more than that. Prashanth devotes his life to helping the strays in the area. It is abundantly clear that he has a good heart and truly cares about making small differences. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio at night and having conversations with him. We learned so much more about his life, Sri Lankan history and culture. Prashanth is welcoming and trustworthy and full of helpful tips with your stay. Thank you Prashanth for welcoming us into your home and for all that you do for the animals!

Located in Trincomalee, Paris Garden Resort features accommodation with a pool with a view. The air-conditioned accommodation is 300 metres from Uppuveli beach, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 4.3 km from Kanniya Hot Springs.

We'd only booked for two nights but extended to four as we needed to rest and relax. Our room was of a reasonable standard, but on occasions it smelt of sewage. The bathroom sink and the shower drain haven't got 'U' bends so the smell is not prevented from escaping into the room. Shame as everything else was good. The electric shower worked well with hot water. The air conditioner worked well but there was something wrong with the remote control as it was tempremental and didn't work well. We stuck it on 30c and used the fan instead. It would be nice to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. However the main reason for our extended stay was the huge clean swimming pool which was brilliant. We had it mostly to ourselves as there are only six rooms and only five were let. Most people staying went out for most of the day leaving the pool to us. The water was warm too. My little thermometer read 33.4c. Overall a good place to stay lots of restaurants nearby and the beach is juat a stones throw away. The waste pipes just need 'U' bends to stop the smell.

    This stay was an extraordinary experience. The owner has a big heart for animals and rescued many cats and dogs. These are living in the property so make sure you are a pet lover too. You don’t have to interact with them but some of them might be curiously approaching you. I had a wonderful time there. Enjoyed every minute.
