The Calm Resort & Spa
9.0 (54 reviews)

The Calm Resort & Spa ★★★★★

📍 WHH6+H2M Coconut Cultivation Board, Road, Passekudah

"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."

Riviera Resort ★★

📍 New Dutch Bar Road, Kallady

"A great resort with small cabanas and huts placed on a big area. Nice and friendly staff. The resort need some upgrade and refurbishment, and the service in the restaurant can be rather slow. The swimmingpool has a great location, but lack of maintenance."

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!"

Amaya Beach Passikudah ★★★★★

📍 Amaya Beach, Passekudah

"The hotel is located next to a coral reef. It has a beautiful beach and a swimming pool. The only drawback was the noise at night due to the on-site restaurant."

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."

Passi Villa
7.7 (15 reviews)

Passi Villa ★★★★

📍 No. 12, Beach Road, Passekudah

"Due to the low season, the hotel owner laid off the entire staff. Only a couple of people remained. The rooms weren't cleaned, much less changed the bed linens and towels. Water was brought once and only once, and even then, it was poured into glass bottles, so its quality is unknown. The room itself was filthy. For breakfast and dinner, we were taken to a neighboring 3-star hotel (run by the same owner). This was despite the fact that we had paid for 4-star accommodation. The food, to put it mildly, was disgusting. While there was anything left for dinner, the breakfasts were simply awful: burnt pancakes, the same waffles. Paltry fruit plates. The beach: the hotel simply doesn't have one. There are corals in the water, and the beach is littered with them, and no one cleans it. There are no sun loungers. The hotel is simply dead. The tour was an exorbitant price. In the evening, COWS were wandering around the hotel grounds! And no one bothered to clean up after them."

Kalkudah Beach House
10 (18 reviews)

Kalkudah Beach House ★★★★★

📍 Kalkudah Beach House, Kalkudah, Batticaloa

"We visited Kalkudah Beach House last weekend and it turned out to be one of the best vacations we’ve had in a while. We had the most wonderful time during our 3 days. The weather was perfect. Service was stellar, food was incredible coupled with the most beautiful surroundings. It is the perfect place to simply unwind and relax. Can’t recommend enough! 🫶🏻✨"

Hotel East Lagoon Hotels in Batticaloa

Hotel East Lagoon

" In Batticaloa, it appears that hotel choices are somewhat limited. I found that The East Lagoon Hotel to be adequate for a few days’ stay. While the room and washroom were clean, the balcony area was a mess. The view from the room was quite nice but the balcony was too narrow and the walls too high to sit and enjoy it. Regardless, sitting down on the balcony was out of the question. I could overlook the cheap plastic chairs, but the fact that they were dirty was disappointing. On a positive note, the staff, particularly the manager, were friendly and helpful. However, we often had to track down a server whenever we visited the bar. The breakfast served was a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast, though it lacked a Western option. I must mention that I was under the impression that the checkout time was 12 pm, as indicated on ***********, and I'm unsure why we had to rush out at 11 am. "

Laya Waves Hotels in Batticaloa

Laya Waves

"Delightful, 8-room hotel on the best strech of golden, sandy beach in Passikudah and arguably the whole island. Yes, the large, comfortable rooms could benefit from a little love here and there but the pool, the empty glowing beach, the wonderful staff and the amazing food more than makes up for a lose tap and some missing paint. This is probably the best value for money you can get when beaching in Sri Lanka, especially if you are not a hard core fan of vast luxury resorts, jetskis, tiktok swings and crowds. The beach, the calm, the kindness, the nature, the beach again...and by the way, did l mention the beach? Perfect!!!"

"The hotel is excellent. The hotel infrastructure is decent, which can't be said about the area outside the hotel. The hotel complex is essentially located in a village. The staff is very friendly. The breakfasts are decent. The beach is guarded."
