Amaya Beach Passikudah

We had a great experience at this hotel. Nice service, location and cleanness. A little boring breakfast, but the a la carte was good.

Overall good stay

Mooie hotel met mooie kamers. Eten kan beter en smaakvoller. Zwembad is te ondiep en erg warm. Zandzakken aan het strand was geen mooi gezicht.

Immer wieder gern, für uns der perfekte Ort die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Nichts für Partygäste.

The location of the hotel was a piece of paradise! Situated on the white sandy beach, it is the perfect location to relax, swim and enjoy the views. The rooms were beautiful, spacious and very clean but the most memorable part of our stay was the amazing staff. We were welcomed by Sheronicka who made us feel comfortable immediately. Then day after day for breakfast and dinner, the restaurant staff were incredible. Always smiling, asking us about our days and really helpful and polite. All the staff were fantastic but Shalika really went above and beyond to make our stay great. The food on offer each day was 10/10. A huge array of different types of food and all executed to the highest level. I would come back just for the food! Thank you for the most amazing few days, it’s a place we won’t forget and will hope to return to in the future.

Very spacious resort with a good pool, beautiful beach and an amazing spa. We stayed there for two days and had a very relaxing time. The beach is pretty, but beware that it's not ideal for swimming as there are rocks in the water. We tried to go into the water twice but multiple people in our group got scratches, so we opted for the pool afterwards. Apparently, it's better to walk a few meters to the side, but unfortunately we were not aware of this until we left (maybe share that info at check-in??) The spa was excellent. We got an aromatherapy and balinese massage and were happy with both. Service was great, polite and relaxing. Prices are cheap for European standards, but high for Asia (42 Euros for 90 min in March 2025). Drinks and food were good. There is an open buffet for dinner and breakfast with the typical Sri Lankan and western food options. The desserts weren't my favorite, but everyone's taste is different. Hotel staff were attentive and our room boy even made a towel "mommy" for the plush elephant we had with us ;)
