"A luxurious hotel. Walking around it, you get the feeling you're staying in a 5-star Turkish hotel. The building's spacious areas—the lobby, hallways, and lounges—are large and airy. The spa center enhances this feeling. There's a large green area with plenty of sun loungers. The room is very large, practically a gym))) well-equipped and very comfortable. There's a large loggia with furniture for relaxing. The rooms are very well-cleaned, with frequent bed linen changes and daily towel changes. Staying in the room is truly a pleasant experience. The restaurant deserves special mention. The breakfast is excellent with a huge selection, even offering cheese and sausage. I also had dinner there for an additional fee, and the price was very reasonable. Plenty of fruit and desserts. A wide selection of meat and fish. I dropped off my laundry, and they returned it well-washed and ironed for next to nothing!!!))) Overall, the hotel would have left a completely positive impression, BUT there were a few things that were a bit disappointing: - The sea and the entrance to the sea. Even though the hotel is on the beachfront, the entry into the sea right on the shore is terrible. There's no entry!!! It's all riffles and small corals. If you want to swim, you have to go left along the shore. That's where the public beach begins, and it's packed with locals. Especially in the evening, it feels like they all come there to wash. I have nothing against locals, but there are just too many of them!!! You have to walk even further from the hotel, where the hotel grounds begin again. - Pool. The poor entry into the sea forces guests to swim in the pool. The pool is small and shallow. After using it the first time, I didn't feel like swimming there again. - Crows. There are plenty of them on all the beaches on the island, but here there were too many. (( Excellent, beautiful, spacious, and modern hotel right on the beach, but NO swimming. Excellent staff, simply wonderful))) So, decide for yourself."

"The hotel is beyond praise. The staff are trying. Very clean. The food is delicious, we had a set menu for dinner, the quality of good Moscow restaurants, presentation and taste, well done guys. The breakfast is simple, but we were never hungry, everything is high quality. The beach is soft sand, the ocean, small waves, warm, we left wanting to cry. We got there longer than usual, the driver made a wrong turn and we ended up at the hotel 9 hours after landing. 9 hours on the road, it seems like nothing will help heal this wound)) but yeah Bay did it. This is a paradise with great guys, let's tip them, they deserve it!"

"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!"

"We live in sri Lanka so are well travelled and have stayed in a lot of places - we booked as soon as it opened, and this might be the best beach place we have stayed out. Beautiful boutique hotel, teardrop staff are always so friendly and helpful and food absolutely delicious.Kilometres of empty beach (apart from some fishing boats) with no other hotels around - a completely different world to all the overcrowded places on the south and east coast.always love the happy hour with free drinks and delicious tea and cake."

Hotel East Lagoon

"This hotel has lagoon-front on two sides. A small side road leads to the hotel where it ends. Therefore there is no traffic, making it very quiet – which is nice for Batticola. If you get a room on the top floor you will have a nice view. There are tables/chairs in the garden along the lagoon to hang out with friends. They also seem to have conference facilities. We ate dinner at the restaurant which was very tasty. The rooms were spacious, well furnished and clean. Wifi, quiet AC and kettle to make tea/coffee are available. The bathroom was large with a separate shower (not a given in Sri Lanka). We stayed two nights and felt very comfortable."

The Calm Resort & Spa ★★★★★
"Excellent hotel! We compared all the hotels along the coast, but ultimately chose and didn't regret picking Calm. Firstly, it has a fantastic beach with shaded areas and sun loungers. Secondly, after all our travels around Sri Lanka and staying in smaller hotels, we really wanted something more 'Turkey-esque,' and this hotel delivered – it's quite impressive and large. Thirdly, after battling big waves elsewhere in Sri Lanka, we were longing for a calm swim! We got all of this, although the water isn't perfectly clear because the very fine sand doesn't settle even with small waves. Everything else was super! Large rooms, great service, and attentive staff! We even got a complimentary room upgrade with direct ocean access. Overall, we experienced pure bliss and relaxation at this hotel. It's worth noting that Passikudah itself is a very small village, so it's best to eat at the hotel or nearby establishments. Buying groceries or alcohol is difficult, so if that's important to you, it's best to stock up in advance."

"Exceptional Service - Thiwanka is a Star! We had an incredible stay at Amethyst Resort Passikudah, made truly unforgettable by Thiwanka. From the moment we arrived, he was an exceptional host and a phenomenal ambassador for the resort. His attention to detail, warmth, and dedication to guest satisfaction are unmatched. He went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was perfect. We cannot recommend both Thiwanka and the resort highly enough. Also, I'd like to say a huge thank you to Ranchan. He arranged taxis, trips and took care of everything we asked for. Nothing was too much trouble. To be honest, every single member of staff provided an incredible service. If you’re visiting Passikudah, this is the place to be."

"Had a wonderful stay at Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa. The staff were incredibly friendly and the hospitality was exceptional. We really appreciated how well both foreigners and locals were cared for, making everyone feel equally welcome and comfortable. The location was beautiful, the resort was very clean, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. A special thank you to Chamara, Ruchira, and Kanthi for their kind gestures and excellent service throughout our stay. The yoga session was calming and enjoyable, and the Ayurvedic facial treatment was incredibly relaxing as well. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Sri Lanka."

Sunrise Pasikuda ★★★★★
"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."
