Trinco Blu by Cinnamon 

Chilled-out sea-breezy days

A laidback beach retreat with great food, friendly service and seasonal whale-watching opportunities.

Originally designed to resemble a ship, Trinco Blu by Cinnamon has since had a redesign but maintains its retro-chic appeal with stylish décor and furnishings. The east coast is seasonally frequented by both whales and dolphins and during this time the resort offers daily sightseeing trips out onto the water. Combine with this its excellent beach and smiling service and you can’t go wrong.

Why we love Trinco Blu by Cinnamon

  • It’s set on a peaceful stretch of white sand that’s perfect for relaxing evening strolls or tranquil morning jogs

  • Guests of all ages will appreciate the appealingly casual and relaxed atmosphere

  • It’s great for wildlife watching, with boat trips to see whales in season and the possibility of spotting dolphins from the beach

  • At the resort’s seafood eatery, you can enjoy a meal featuring whatever you helped a local fisherman catch the day before
