Naaval was a good experience overall, offering a peaceful and clean environment just a short walk from a charming beach. The food was excellent, and the warm, friendly hosts made my stay enjoyable. However, I did find the wifi to be average, and it's important to be prepared with cash since there's no credit card facility.

My stay at Naaval - Neithal Batticaloa was a mixed bag. The location next to the lagoon offered a nice view, and the beach was just a short walk away, but it was mostly littered. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially with arranging meals and transportation. However, the lack of amenities and activities, alongside language barriers and cleanliness issues, made my experience less enjoyable than I had hoped.

The staff were friendly and helpful, but the dining service was disorganized. I had to order dinner an hour in advance, and when I arrived on time, I still waited another half hour without anything to drink, which was frustrating.
