The staff went out of their way to accommodate us. The night we stayed was very busy and the staff tried their best to provide alternatives for food when the dishes we ordered were out of order. I took my relatives to the hotel and they loved the place and we used all the facilities. I would highly recommend it for family and friends.

    Suganthi, the manager, and Anthony, the waiter, and the rest of the staff are all very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to secure us a room with balcony when we arrived and had booked another room without balcony. We were given information on sightseeing in and around Jaffna upon arrival. This was very useful. We visited KKS beach north of Jaffna one day by bus to use the pool at the army resort. This we would not have found out on our own. The pool table on the porch was good fun in the evenings. We highly recommend this resort.

    wonderful place to stay. the outside patio is great to chill and read a book or meet some fellow travelers. we liked the environmental responsibility of the host: he supplied water for his guests so they don’t have to buy so many plastic bottles. every guest house should offer this. Wi-Fi worked very well.

    Jaffna is still an unspoiled and hidden gem of a city. People are super friendly and the city is bustling and easy to navigate. There is a beech just outside the city center which is quiet and beautiful. It was very hot when we visited in july but we did not mind this at all.

    Our time at Delft Beachfront Villa was amazing!

    Our time at Delft Beachfront Villa was amazing! They didn't just offer us a free breakfast; they also organized a tuktuk and a knowledgeable guide so we could explore Delft island. The snorkeling they arranged was fantastic. The spot was beautiful, with clear water full of colorful fish and stunning rocks. we were mesmerized by what we saw underwater. Plus, they have bikes available for guests to explore the island on their own. If you looking for a memorable getaway with great hospitality and exciting experiences, Delft beachfront Villa is the place to go. we highly recommend it for anyone who wants a mix of relaxation and adventure!

    Abi Holiday Villa was everything we hoped for and more!

    Abi Holiday Villa was everything we hoped for and more! Nestled in a serene, spacious property surrounded by lush gardens, this villa is the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful atmosphere—filled with the gentle rustle of palm trees and birdsong—made it easy to unwind. The villa itself is impeccably maintained, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. The interiors are spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with modern amenities (like a fully equipped kitchen and cozy bedrooms) that made our stay effortless. But the true star of the show is the outdoor space! The sprawling garden feels like a private oasis, ideal for morning coffees on the patio, leisurely strolls among flowering plants, or evenings grilling under the stars. Our kids loved playing freely in the safe, open area, and we cherished the alfresco dining setup surrounded by nature. Location-wise, it’s a gem—tucked away for privacy yet conveniently close to Keerimalai’s natural springs and a short drive from Jaffna’s cultural sites. The quiet neighborhood added to the restorative vibe, but we never felt isolated. A special shout-out to the host, who was attentive and gracious, offering local tips and ensuring we had everything we needed. Their hospitality truly elevated our experience. If you’re seeking a peaceful retreat with space to breathe, Abi Holiday Villa is it. We’re already dreaming of our next visit! Highly recommended for families, couples, or solo travelers craving serenity. P.S. Don’t miss watching the sunset from the garden—it’s magical!

    Jaffna is lovely city and it’s a shame we didn’t stay longer. It has changed a lot since our last visit 7 years ago with a lot more development but a shame so many franchises have opened up. It has a nice mix of tourist attractions and yet maintains its charm as a local area. The Rio ice cream is the best! I wish we had more time to enjoy local cuisine.
