This is one of the best options to stay in Jaffna. It’s not in the city centre, more on the outskirts of the city , there’s nothing around, so you basically plan your time in the resort. The hotel itself is nice , the rooms look a bit old but clean , there was no hot water in our room. The territory of the hotel is beautiful with the pool , restaurant, little museums to visit (ex bunkers). The food in the restaurant is yummy , the staff is friendly and polite, especially Scotty , he was very helpful and nice to us during our stay. Good experience at this hotel, just the water situation in the rooms should be improved.

We had some problems with the booking date. We arrived too early and therefore they had no room left at this date. It was not easy to find a room in another hotel at this date. But they did not give up asking around and they organised us a room in another hotel and also the transfer to the hotel. They arranged that the day after we could stay in a beautiful room back in the Fox. Everything was perfect. The food was excellent and the dinner was served in the romantic garden. After the hustle and bustle of the city, you immerse yourself in an oasis. You wouldn't expect such a great big well-kept garden in this hectic city. The pool was nicely warm and inviting for swimming. We were there at the weekend and we saw prefotoshootings for several marriages. For us as foreigners this was very interesting and entertaining. The whole team, including the chef in the kitchen, the serving staff, the manager, the people at the reception, was very kind and helpful. They were always present, attentive and hospitable. We can highly recommend this excellently run hotel and we would like to thank you once again, especially Mr. Shane.

There is little to see from the road but once inside there are lovely gardens and a pool. Service is really good and they were very helpful in ensuring that our vegetarian diet was fully catered for. Rooms are well equipped with sufficient space and a good bathroom. They have a good display of Sri Lankan artists in one of the bunkers. Well located for central attractions.

The Fox Resort in Jaffna is a beautiful place to stay with some of the most beautiful gardens on the premises. The staff are polite and the restaurant has great ambiance. I'd like to acknowledge the great service of Amith, the restaurant's manager. Amith is extremely accommodating. We were on the breakfast and dinner meal plan and Amith was willing to substitute certain food items so that we ate what we really wanted to eat. Accolades to Fox Resorts for finding Amith. He is a great asset to trhe team.

What a wonderful oasis, the team here is exceptional. From the minute we came in to the minute we left it was sensational. Special mention of the pool, pristine and perfect temperature. Food was an excellent representation of Jaffna cuisine and Chef Pushpe and his team are fantastic, the variety and quality perfect. My suggestion is to eat the local food, but omelettes and pastries are available. Highlight was the Kottu corner which is excellent. Service!! Wow the waiters are so helpful speak excellent English. Scotty our waiter for most of the time told me he learnt how to speak English from you tube and speaking to himself in the mirror AK or Kumar was also brilliant. This team is led by a dedicated management team who work with the team and drive the vision of the company. Must see is the bunker, war time bunker turned into an art gallery, the theme of the hotel is Sri Lanka’s famous artists and each block is named in honour of one of them. Rooms are clean modern and fresh and each has a balcony, there are also 4 rooms in the original house. You will have to go there to learn about the history. House was built in 1908 and house a Maharaja.

The food was excellent. The staff was friendly and very obliging. Special mention to Scotty who went out of his way to engage with us and make sure we were taken care of. If you want to taste some authentic Jaffna food this place offers a great variety. Especially loved the crab curry! As a heads up, the Ayurvedic massage uses lot of oil so is very different from a conventional western massage.

Excellent accommodation, beautiful garden and great food from the buffet and from the chefs menu. Great hospitality of the staff. For visiting Jaffna the spot is perfect; a clean and serene lagoon of rest in a busy city. Rooms are spacious and utilities are great.
