Amaya Beach Passikudah ★★★★★
"Great hotel amazing view."
Karpaha Sands ★★★★★
"Complete delight) Starting from the staff who greeted us at the entrance to the hotel. I didn’t want to leave at all, but we were able to book only for one day; there were no villas available for other dates. The general manager met us and we had a personal assistant. Everything is so beautiful, rooms with a private courtyard are more private than those with access to the sea. The interior is very stylish, a cool area for tea and a shower outside, and the most important thing is the presence of a bathroom) In the main building there is an area for working on a computer and a children's area - an incredibly beautiful room. There are many photo zones on the beach, there is a bar near the pool, and waiters serve drinks. The breakfast is perfect, the presentation and the dishes themselves are top class. We liked the dinner, we ordered a dish from the chef, it depends on the catch that day. We had lobsters. Everywhere they give compliments - coconuts upon arrival, shrimp by the pool, detox drinks for breakfast, etc. We travel a lot, but this particular hotel has sunk into our hearts. Probably, it’s also a matter of emotional attitude towards each guest. The general manager, Umberto, an Italian, accompanied us along with the rest of the staff. We'll definitely come back again."
The Calm Resort & Spa ★★★★★
"Very tasty lunches and dinners"
Amethyst Resort ★★★★
"We came here today to enjoy a beautiful vacation in celebration of our 3rd wedding anniversary. We had an even more beautiful vacation than we had imagined. I would especially like to thank Niraj for looking into everything for us and arranging everything even better than we expected. And Sanjeewa, thank you to you as well. I must also mention one more special thing. We sincerely thank Chef Keerthi for baking a beautiful cake for us, preparing a very lovely and delicious dinner, waiting for us until we came for breakfast, and giving us an unforgettable meal without any shortage in food and drinks. Thank you also to everyone who beautifully decorated our room. If I say that this is the most beautiful tourist accommodation with the best staff in Passikuda Tourist Resort, I am correct. Thank you once again to everyone."
Riviera Resort ★★
"Very pleasant stay in Batticaloa! Very friendly staff and super tasty food at a good price! This is the perfect place to discover Batticaloa and relax by the pool. The staff also always asks if you want the food spicy or not and this is very unique"

Marina Beach Passikudah
"Do not do this to yourself. I repeat, DO NOT do this to yourself! This is not a hotel you want to stay at for anything more than $20 per night. Understaffed, haven’t had a working bar in weeks (if not months). The pool is a gangrenous mess, almost guaranteed to cripple the rest of your holiday with Montezuma’s Revenge (photo included). I’d imagine the food would be similar, if they bothered to cook any (evening restaurant picture included). No protection from insects in the shower windows. Some guests were using towels to block the swarms of wasps entering to terrorise them in a vulnerable state (photo included…of the towels…). Sacrificing one of the two bathmats provided as ‘towels’ (photo included) highlights just how terrifying the wasp situation must have been for some. If you like a few cold sundowners, don’t go looking here for any joy. There is no bar. The hotel claim they have been waiting for a ‘liquor order’ for 15 days, but it’s clearly a practised line they’ve been spouting for sometime longer than this. Photo of the empty ‘bar’, and the available stock attached. The beach is nice. Not enough umbrellas or beds (actually there probably are thinking about it, to accommodate the three desperate souls rattling around here). Looking at past reviews, this was once a passable hotel. It’s clearly fallen on hard times, and don’t appear to have enough funds left to actually, you know, run anything resembling a working hotel. $140 per night is truly criminal for this place. We ran away as soon as possible (a few hours), and luckily found refuge at the Sunrise Hotel next door for around the same rate. The Sunrise is absolutely wonderful. Only stay at this hotel if you are a masochist who likes burning money, and you have no interest in enjoying literally anything about being here."
Kay Jay Beach House - Pasikudha
"The hotel staff was very friendly. They helped us whenever we needed them (even at 6:30 in the morning) and were always very courteous. The pool was nice, but the water was very warm. As for the rest of the facilities, the room was fine, and the bathroom was small but adequate. The living room was also nice."
The Bay an Uga Experience -Pasikuda
"We have visited Uga Bay by Uga Escapes three times now, and it continues to be a place very close to our hearts. It’s truly one of the most beautiful destinations in Pasikuda, with breathtaking sea views and an incredibly peaceful atmosphere that helps you completely relax. This visit was especially meaningful as we came to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it also holds memories from our honeymoon. The team did a lovely job arranging the room upon arrival, and the overall ambiance, beach, and scenery were just as magical as we remembered. Traveling 6–7 hours to reach here is always worth it for the experience. However, this time we were quite disappointed with a few aspects of the service, which felt very different compared to our previous visits. We requested a late checkout extension from 11:00 AM to around 1:30 PM so we could enjoy a bit more time, especially since we had a long journey ahead and were on a full-board package with lunch included. Unfortunately, the response was simply “no,” with no real attempt to accommodate or offer alternatives—only a small extension until 11:30 AM. While we understand that the hotel may have bookings, what was disappointing was the lack of flexibility or effort to provide any alternative solution. As returning guests celebrating a special occasion, we expected a bit more consideration or at least a willingness to explore options. Additionally, during our previous visits, we were able to enjoy shisha by the beach, which added to the overall experience. This time, that request was declined without much explanation, which again felt inconsistent with the level of service we had experienced before. Uga Bay remains a stunning and special place, and we still love the property deeply. However, the service this time did not match the standards we had come to expect over the years. We hope the management takes this feedback seriously and brings back the level of hospitality that made us fall in love with this place in the first place."
Breeze Pasikudah
"The hotel is in very poor condition, resembling an old, nearly broken building that doesn't feel safe. The staff is okay, but not exceptional. The management is extremely poor; no one from management spoke with us. When we asked at reception, they said the manager was busy and unavailable. We felt ignored as guests. The reception constantly provided false information. Don't book here and don't waste your money—they don't know how to communicate with guests. We suggest closing the hotel, as it already looks abandoned. It's better to shut it down."
