Amaya Beach Passikudah
9.2 (70 reviews)

Amaya Beach Passikudah ★★★★★

📍 Amaya Beach, Passekudah

"We stayed in May '26. We absolutely loved the hotel, the rooms were gorgeous. We had an ocean view. The food was delicious, and the dessert spread was varied. The beds were comfortable. The staff were very polite. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back."

Karpaha Sands
9.8 (45 reviews)

Karpaha Sands ★★★★★

📍 Kimbula Thona Kalkudah Beach, KIRAN, Batticaloa

"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."

"Very tasty lunches and dinners"

Amethyst Resort
8.2 (59 reviews)

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
7.7 (34 reviews)

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

"I liked the hotel. The balcony is very comfortable and welcoming – a table, chairs, and a sofa. The sea is stunning! The beach is clean, the water is turquoise. Everything works in the room. It's clean! I'm a little tired, but so far so good. The food was à la carte. Delicious! I liked that the chef interacts with each guest. The menu is more European (onion soup (good!), pumpkin soup, pork with sweet potato puree), but Sri Lankan cuisine is always present in the main course! Shrimp was always on the menu. For Sri Lanka, the hotel is good. It has its own atmosphere and ambiance, which is what we come to this country for. This isn't a European 5-star hotel. Sri Lankan – yes! The restaurant staff is sometimes overly attentive. Since the hotel wasn't very busy, there was too much attention."

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 structure is devastated and cannot be considered a five-star hotel, as it is rated by Booking. We found cockroaches in the bathroom and there was a nauseating smell, terrible breakfast even though the staff was very kind. It's a shame because it would have enormous potential but it would have to be done from scratch"

Marina Beach Passikudah Hotels in Batticaloa

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."

Amaya Beach Passikudah ★★★★★
"Excellent hotel with well-maintained grounds and delicious food. Everything looks beautifully designed. There's a warm, large swimming pool with varying depths. It's not usually crowded here, but on weekends, locals from Colombo come to celebrate weddings and have fun, so it can get noisy. The beach is close by. On the property, you can find small creatures like lizards and chipmunks, and there are wild monkeys near the border with the neighboring hotel. There are also koi carp swimming in the courtyard. I've written more extensively about the food in another review; I'm writing this one because I extended my reservation. You definitely won't go hungry, and it's a great place to relax. A big thank you to Andrew and Yimukshi from the front desk – they upgraded our room a bit and exchanged money for us! Everything was superb, I would definitely come back again."

Karpaha Sands ★★★★★
"We had an amazing stay at Karpaha Sands. Everything about this place is designed to relax you, and everything is made remarkably easy for you. The rooms are very comfortable, and the outdoor shower was incredible to use. Food throughout was sublime, and the experiences such as the cinema under the stars and henna were very well organised. The beach similarly is clean, and the sea calm and empty. Staff are incredibly friendly and very efficient. This was an wonderful place to stay and we would love to be back."

Riviera Resort ★★
"When we arrived, we were immediately taken by the setting, by the lagoon, sorrounded by coconut trees and banana trees, birds chirping, pretty colonial style reception and bar area. There is also a brand new restaurant and function room building behond the bar. However, upon being shown to our chalet we were immediatly disappointed. It was old and tired, in need of some serious refurbishment. Doors and windows wouldn't shut properly, locks were stiff of not lined up so they couldn't be locked at all. Light switches 6ft up on the bathroom wall useless for my wife and children, no drinks making facility in the room. The beds were comfortable enough but thee not enough pillows, the ones we had were as flat as pancakes. The tired failities extended to the swimming pool, one end of it closed off and the rest had cracked and missing tiles, which my youngest cut her foot on. When i told the staff they didn't really seem to be bothered that she had injured herself. Unless they spend some time and effort renovating this place i would not visit again, shame, because the setting is perfect."
