📍 Kimbula Thona Kalkudah Beach, KIRAN, Batticaloa

"I think it’s the best hotel on the island. Amazing hospitality, the general manager is Italian, that is why the food was truly outstanding. I can’t more recommend this hotel. The atmosphere is gorgeous, you feel the untouchable nature with the fishermen on the beach, really unique experience."

Amethyst Resort

Amethyst Resort ★★★★

📍 Coconut Board Road, Passekudah

"We arrived at Amethyst Resort, Pasikuda, earlier than the check-in time, but the front desk staff warmly welcomed us and arranged for us to enjoy the pool and beach until our room was ready – such a thoughtful start to our stay. A special mention goes to Samantha Weerasooriya, who looks after the restaurant. He made us feel right at home, showed the crocodiles to our kids (a big highlight for them!), and, when I had a bad headache one evening, went the extra mile to help me. Thank you to the entire team for the warm hospitality and to Samantha for his exceptional care. Highly recommended!"

Riviera Resort

Riviera Resort ★★

📍 New Dutch Bar Road, Kallady

"I went for lunch at this hotel and found the food to be quite good. The restaurant staff were very friendly and accommodating. After lunch, I took a walk around the hotel grounds, but I was disappointed by the behavior of the garden worker- called Sivakumar towards guests. Their approach seemed disrespectful and unprofessional. This experience makes me hesitant to revisit this place in the future.""

Sunrise Pasikuda
9.6 (47 reviews)

Sunrise Pasikuda ★★★★★

📍 Coconut Development Board, Road, Passekudah

"Excellent hotel. Stylish, clean, and well-equipped room. Everything you need is included: a refrigerator, tea, coffee, a kettle, and a hairdryer. Daily cleaning service, regular change of towels and bed linen. Special thanks to the guys who cleaned our room, Jerom and Kajanthiran, for their excellent service. The hotel has beautiful grounds with a gorgeous pool. There's a gym, a games area, and a bar. The beach is excellent and clean. It's cleaned daily. Comfortable sun loungers with soft mattresses and beach towels are always available. The staff on the beach and at the beach bar are friendly. Breakfast is extensive, offering a variety of dishes for every taste. National and European cuisine is available. A huge selection of pastries, including waffles made to order. Fresh seasonal fruit is always available. Dinner is also varied, with both basic dishes and daily specials. These include grilled seafood, pork, and deep-fried squid. Various national dishes, such as rotti or kottu, are also available. Special thanks to the waiters Sudesh and Kalum; they were very attentive and friendly. At dinner, water is included, with other drinks available from the menu (as in all other hotels). The hotel strives to add variety to each dinner by inviting different entertainers to create a cozy atmosphere. I definitely recommend this hotel for a relaxing stay. We'll definitely choose it again!"

Kay Jay Beach House - Pasikudha Hotels in Batticaloa

Kay Jay Beach House - Pasikudha

"We met up with our friends for a couple of nights at KayJay beach house. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They provided a great collection of meals from locally sourced seafood, some of it from the fisherman directly in front of the house! We had delicious crab curry, a seafood BBQ and fabulous prawns. The house is designed around a central living area with a view of the fishing boats and beach beyond. There were two pairs of double rooms set either side with a further double room. The rooms are air-conditioned, mosquito nets are provided. The ensuite bathrooms are clean with refreshing cold water showers. The small pool was most welcome after a stroll to the nearby Pasikudha beach. This is a lovely place to stay, ideal for a small group or couple of families who can have exclusive use of the venue."

Breeze Pasikudah Hotels in Batticaloa

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."

Marina Beach Passikudah Hotels in Batticaloa

"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."

Amaya Beach Passikudah ★★★★★
"Very nice hotel, perfect for truly unwinding. Unfortunately, the beach isn't suitable for swimming as it's full of stones and coral. The food is very good and the rooms are huge. The service is pretty mediocre, though. Even though we were asked via WhatsApp the day before about our arrival time and bed preference, neither was taken into account. We had to wait an hour even though check-in was officially from 2 PM. Instead of a shared bed, we got two single beds. They really could have saved themselves the trouble of asking. Otherwise, everything else was great."

"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 staff, the facilities, cleanliness, food, kids club and spa were incredible. I would like to thank everyone at the hotel and sorry I didn’t catch all the staff name. Special thanks to: The front desk, Chamara and his team for their warm welcoming and for ensuring our stay was perfect everyday. The restaurant, the food was incredible, I liked the buffet but also the à la carte food and options. The half board is really a great deal considering the quality of the food. And thanks to all the waiters as well. The pool boy Rukman and his colleague who helped us actively during the day around the pool and ensuring we had the spot we wanted and with a clean towel to start the day. The Spa, Nishanta who did really good massages. Note that the spa is really good and not pricey at all for a hotel of this category. The kids club, run by Ruchita who is always proposing to play and do activities with the kids. I have chosen this hotel for its kids club and I am definitely convinced it was the right choice. The housekeeping team who carried the luggage’s to and from the room, and ensured the rooms were clean multiple times a day, and that we didn’t miss anything. It was really a memorable stay at this hotel. Probably the best I had among all the 4/5* hotels I did so far."
