Batticaloa Hotels with Bars

I went to karpaha sands with my wife and two toddlers. The road to the resort is a little rough but after that everything was perfect. The staff greeted us and I must say the staff service in our entire 4 day stay was excellent The staff were particularly accomodating and excellent with our kids We stayed in one of the kolaya villas which is really nice, it was your own space , large villa w large deck and your own private sand lawn , made for full relaxation, reflection and chill vibes The outdoor waterfall shower was amazing and the villa itself has everything we needed The only potential difficulty we had was there were a lot of stray dogs and with toddlers we had to keep a close eye on them The facilities were great We enjoyed amazing breakfasts and meals at dinner The food was on point and I particularly found the Sri Lankan cuisines excellent (being Sri Lankan myself I feel im a fair judge) The pool and amentities were great , we enjoyed a movie on the beach, the shanti spa and my daughter had some henna done not to mention a daily visit to the pool Overall it’s a place for full relaxation We did venture out to batticaloa each day but really you could spend the entire time at the resort and just chill We really couldn’t fault the stay and there were lots of little touches and nuances in the service that I haven’t listed but were excellent Karpaha sands is a great destination A little out of the way But well worth it Ty for a great time Easily the best hotel / resort we’ve stayed at

Nice hotel with nice rooms. Food could be better and tastier. Swimming pool is too shallow and very warm. Sandbags on the beach were not a pretty sight.

Magnificent sandy beach. There is a reef nearby where you can swim with a snorkel (it is better to negotiate with a separate service on the shore to the right. Good buffet dinners, I do not recommend a la carte. If you want more seafood - 10 minutes on foot cafe Captain. Of the minuses: 1. most important: urgently need to go to the beach more sun loungers. Well, not enough!!! You have to borrow, well, what a nonsense. A huge beach, a lot of places, a lot of palm trees, under which you can lie down, but not on anything. 2. Breakfast is rather weak, but you won’t leave hungry. In my opinion, not corresponds to the price 3. Far from everything, well, there is nothing at all, knock-knock to help 4. The staff sometimes, let's say, slow down, but they try.

We stayed at Anantaya from 22nd - 23rd Dec as a part of our honeymoon tour in Passikudah. It’s an insta worthy place, specially the pool area. Pool was amazing.. we really enjoyed the large pool and our ocean and pool view room was just perfect. We loved the bedding.. it was so cozy.. we enjoyed a cup of tea in the evening at the. balcony with that amazing view. Room service and housekeeping staff were very helpful to us during the stay with all of our requests. The front office team was very welcoming and friendly. Everyone was adhering to the health and safety standards. The food was alright but some improvements wouldn’t hurt. It would have been better if the breakfast buffet had a better choice.. However, upon request the chef made us a delicious omelet for breakfast and we enjoyed a lot.. special thank you to the Chef! Since we were on half board we wanted to have lunch on the 23rd Dec from the hotel itself. When we went to check that with the restaurant staff, there were two staff members and one was on the mobile (probably the restaurant manager based on the conversation he was having on the phone) and the other was assisting him with the call. So we waited a little assuming someone would attend to us. Since it was taking longer than we thought, we tried signalling them that we wanted to speak to one of them but even after seeing us they ignored. We gave up on the idea of having lunch at the hotel and proceeded to checkout. When we were leaving that person who was on the phone came to speak with us but by that time we’ve decided elsewhere for lunch. Apart from this minute incident, overall our experience with Anantaya Passikudah was good!

It is easy to go anywhere for sightseeing and you can play until late at night. The service of the hotel staff was good. The room was not a problem.

One of the well known hotels in Kalkudah, managed by the Uga chain, provided us with a comfortable two night stay in the Base Suite. The suite was well equipped with all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay and even included a lovely private pool. The staff were exceptional super friendly, supportive and attentive, ensuring that our stay was enjoyable. The service was top notch and we truly appreciated their efforts. However, we did encounter an uncomfortable situation with one rude front desk officer during the checkout process. Thankfully, this could be overlooked as the rest of the staff were outstanding. Breakfast and dinner were served buffet style while lunch was from an à la carte menu. The food was decent but honestly we expected more variety from the Uga chain, especially since we’ve had better buffet experiences at hotels in the same range. We also booked an early morning snorkeling session but unfortunately we had to cut it short as the sea water was murky and unclear due to sandy conditions. For future guests we recommend checking with the front desk beforehand to confirm the sea conditions with the boat crew to avoid such disappointments. Overall our stay was excellent. The bar service was fantastic and special credit goes to the housekeeping team for their impeccable room cleaning and arrangements. The beach was another highlight safe, serene and perfect for a worry free swim.
