Gatetrees resort

The service, staff, breakfast, and accommodation were all excellent. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, set in a beautiful garden on a property that also has a lovely old colonial house. Breakfast in the garden each morning was relaxing, and the spicy crab curry was the best meal of our trip. I would recommend GateTrees to anyone traveling to Jaffna, and many thanks to the owner, manager, and staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

“I will recommend anyone to stay at this resort”

We had a wonderful and memorable stay at Green Cross Resort. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable. A special thank you to Suganthi, the manager, who was absolutely wonderful—warm, caring, professional, and always ready to help with any request. The food was delicious, the staff friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere simply beautiful. It was a peaceful and relaxing place, and we enjoyed every moment. We’re leaving with great memories and would definitely recommend Green Trees Resort to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing stay. Thank you to Suganthi and the entire team for making our stay enjoyable. We’d love to return. The room price was a little higher than expected.

“Enjoy our stay”

Breakfast was fantastic

“Spectacular”

The spot is amazing, close to town and very peaceful. The staff are always helpful, and the manager lady was exceptional, explaining everything in detail and giving contacts to enjoy the area. I highly recommend it, and the restaurant food is always delicious.

“Incredible Service”

We spent a week at Gate Trees Resort and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating, and the hospitality really stood out as one of the best parts of our stay. The General Manager deserves a special mention – she is kind, polite, genuinely helpful, and she made our whole stay feel smooth and comfortable. She recommended great shopping spots, helped us find a reliable laundry service, and even took my partner on her scooter to a nearby pharmacy after noticing her hand was red and swollen. That level of care was remarkable. We would definitely recommend staying here for the hospitality and service alone. The food is on another level too. The aunties and kitchen staff are absolutely adorable, always greeting you with friendly smiles and waves. They serve proper, authentic Jaffna home‑style food – the kind you don’t easily find elsewhere. We had crab curry, mutton curry and puttu, and it genuinely felt like eating a home‑cooked meal. The rooms were homely, comfortable and relaxing, and the outdoor gardens were beautifully kept and such a nice place to sit and unwind. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and really appreciate all the kindness, help and care shown by the whole team. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!
