The room is by the sea, which is great, and the view is great, but the service is a bit behind. I waited a long time to check in, and then there was someone in the hotel who asked for a tip.
My friend and I stayed here for two days. The service was very good. I bought beef and crab sea shrimp to the kitchen for processing. The staff was still helping. It was very convenient to walk out for less than 3 minutes. It was super beautiful to watch the sunrise and sunset. The hotel environment is also better, clean and hygienic. If you go again, you must choose this one.
There were so many things, but overall, all the staff were very hardworking, kind and good people!
First of all, it seems that the reservation for 4 nights that I had made on Trip.com was not made at the time of check-in. There are many staff members, but there are only about two staff members who can communicate in English without any problems, and it was difficult to find them every time lol.
I was hurriedly guided to my room, but I couldn't find the air conditioner remote control, and a staff member just brought me a towel (probably the room was hastily provided, so it was not fully prepared?) When I asked for the remote control at that time, they brought it to me relatively quickly. The wi-fi password was handwritten on the phone, but it was faded and I couldn't read it, so I looked for a staff member again and asked lol.
I thought there would be hot water, but it was room temperature (it was a little cold at first, but if you try hard to take a shower, it feels like it's getting warmer for some reason, but it was exactly the same temperature lol) and the water pressure was quite weak. I asked the staff, but it seems that the temperature probably can't be changed. I asked them for at least the water pressure, and it improved a little. However, the water pressure was weak again the next night, so I asked them to adjust the water pressure every day for four days before taking a shower. When the staff came to check the water pressure, they stood on the bath mat with their shoes on, and the bath mat turned black because the shoes were wet with water... This happened two days in a row, so we told them that the water pressure had improved and it was okay to check it. It may be a cultural difference, but I guess they don't care about guests' bath mats turning black.
The laundry service, free bicycle rental, and currency exchange that were listed on Trip.com (same as ***********) were not available lol
The location is nice, right in front of the sea. It's a 10-20 minute walk to the town, but I was so scared of the stray dogs at night (they sleep and relax during the day, but are super active at night...) that I had to use a tuk-tuk every time.
The hotel itself is not bad, but the shower was the only thing that bothered me. There were also frequent power outages every day. (It wasn't particularly difficult, but it sometimes took several hours lol)
The staff were all really trying to solve the problem and listen to our requests. They were very calm and friendly, and always had a shy smile lol
However, their English was quite weak, so it was necessary to be patient and communicate.
Amazing stay, apart from squirrels, bats and lizards entering the room from the cracks in the ceiling.
Crows will wake you up at 5-6 AM.
Lovely sea view, but is far from town

The location is very convenient on the beach, the hotel directly watches the sunrise is beautiful! Service attitude is full 💯, the facilities are not perfect, new hotel. Suitable for vacation 🏖️
Price-quality is consistent. Cleaning only on request, with no change of clothing. Shampoo and air conditioners are not available, put a small soap. Staff polite and welcoming. There is a parking, in the room air conditioner, wi-fi is weak. In a generally simple and budget hotel, your money is worth. Waiting for super-ordinary, of course, isn't worth.
The hotel consists of two two-storey houses. The location is excellent, next to only another small hotel. Very quiet and quiet place. To the main road 5 minutes. To the beach 15 minutes. Welcome guard. If something is missing-all arrange! Breakfast is brought to the room, kitchen and dining room not. There are problems with ants, but they only appear if you leave open food for a long time. A chic balcony on the second floor with ocean view and mountains. Panoramic windows are cool.
Хороший отель, ни чуть не пожалели, что остановились здесь. Вкусные завтраки, вкусные ужины, хороший чистый бассейн и очень приветливый персонал. В комнате пахнет очень вкусно - лемонграсом. Минус комнаты - сильная слышимость. Мы пытались уснуть пораньше, так как предстоял ранний подъем но до 10 вечера слышали, как соседи звенели вилками и болтали, ужиная.
Еще один минус - расположение кондиционера. Он дует прямо на кровать, а одеял в отеле нет, только простыни. С кондиционером холодно, без него - жарко 😁
Но в целом, эти два минуса не перекрыли позитивный настрой, так как отель показался нам очень классным. Отдельный плюс я хочу отметить за книжку с заданиями, которую дали моему сыну. Очень много интересных заданий, которые он выполнял, пока ожидал ужин, или в течение дня.
По прохождении книжки есть подарок - мороженое.
Очень мило.
Кстати, в пяти минутах от отеля чудесный пляж! 🥰 и там почти нет людей.
Very Good

MMuhammad Irsyad Bin ZainiPrepare to be captivated by the sheer beauty and serenity that awaits you at the Amethyst Resort Passikudah. My recent stay at this slice of paradise was nothing short of awe-inspiring, leaving me with memories that will undoubtedly linger for a lifetime.
From the moment I set foot in the resort, I was greeted by a warm and genuine hospitality that set the tone for the entire stay. The staff's attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a flawless guest experience was truly commendable. Their passion for service was evident in every interaction, making me feel not just like a guest but a cherished member of an extended family.
Nestled along the pristine shores of Passikudah, Amethyst Resort boasts breathtaking views that redefine the meaning of a picturesque escape. The crystal-clear waters, powdery white sands, and swaying palm trees create a postcard-perfect backdrop, providing an ideal setting for relaxation and rejuvenation.
The accommodations at Amethyst Resort are a testament to luxury and sophistication. My room exuded a perfect blend of contemporary design and traditional charm, offering a spacious haven that instantly felt like home. The attention to detail in the decor, coupled with modern amenities, ensured a stay of unparalleled comfort.
One of the highlights of my visit was the culinary journey offered by the resort's restaurants. Each dining experience was a gastronomic delight, showcasing a diverse array of local and international flavors. The talented chefs at Amethyst Resort have truly mastered the art of tantalizing the taste buds, leaving me eager to explore the menu each day.
The resort's spa, a sanctuary of tranquility, provided an oasis for relaxation and self-indulgence. The skilled therapists and a thoughtfully curated menu of treatments allowed me to unwind and rejuvenate, making my stay a holistic experience for mind, body, and soul.
Amethyst Resort also excels in providing a range of activities for the adventurous soul. Whether it's water sports, cultural excursions, or simply basking in the sun by the infinity pool, the resort caters to every whim and fancy.
In conclusion, my stay at Amethyst Resort Passikudah was nothing short of magical. The seamless fusion of luxury, natural beauty, and warm hospitality creates an experience that transcends the ordinary. If you are seeking a haven of tranquility, where each moment is a celebration of life's beauty, Amethyst Resort Passikudah is undoubtedly the destination of choice. This hidden gem on the eastern coast of Sri Lanka has etched a special place in my heart, and I eagerly await the opportunity to return to its embrace.
MMr Adam PorterThe rooms are incredible and the beach is lovely but this is NOT a 4* hotel. The rest of the place seems run down and not looked after, the gardens are a mess, volleyball court isn’t usable and I’ve not seen a children’s play area. Staff are scarce, there is no pool bar and you have to go in search of beach towels or drinks. The restaurant is extremely poor, long wait for service and we were the only ones in the restaurant. Food options weren’t available and beer was only put in the fridge when I asked for it, so I then had to wait for it to cool down before it was served, when food arrived it wasn’t great, felt like a quick microwave meal. Room initially had no hot water, which we had to wait to be fixed, there is nothing in the mini bar as advertised, you just get an empty fridge, hairdryer had to be requested and room was missing towels and robes etc on arrival. Rooms took a long time to be made up each day and again some towels and robes were not replenished and had to be requested again. Parts of the hotel were closed and lots of lights at night flickered. They also advertise that the hotel has a night club and a billiards room, we haven’t seen any sign of a nightclub and the billiards room is two pool tables, one completely out of use with tape over it and the other is extremity rundown, dusty and wonky that you can’t play a game on it properly. No staff ever gave us a briefing on arrival or told us about the hotel, we have had to explore, guess and ask questions. Staff have been somewhat helpful, they speak English but don’t seem to understand it when they’re asked questions. Hotel has a what’s app service but responses are very slow and even then not fully understood. It’s like it used to be a 4* hotel but it’s run by pirates 🏴☠️

GGuest UserI recently stayed at the Giman Free Hotel and had a unique experience. This hotel is truly isolated, far away from civilization, making it a perfect spot for introverts or those looking for solitude.
While the hotel itself is clean, it is clear that some renovations are needed to update the facilities. However, the staff more than makes up for any shortcomings with their friendliness and willingness to accommodate guests.
The restaurant at the hotel surprised me with its delicious food, which I found to be better than what I have experienced at some five-star hotels in Sri Lanka. The beach near the hotel is clean.
However, the downside of the beach which is very wild and long is the amount of garbage and plastic that washes up on the shore. Since the beach is deserted it was disheartening to see all the pollution scattered along the shoreline.
Overall, if you are seeking a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the Giman Free Hotel is a great option. Just be prepared for a bit of roughness around the edges of the beach.
GGuest UserWe enjoyed our stay at the beach bungalows here. We came during off season and they cleaned the pool for us and we had the beachfront bungalow. The breakfast was really good! However, this hotel also operates a liquor store that runs 24/7 right in the middle of the guest rooms so at all hours of the day there were people walking through to buy alcohol (during breakfast time even) and then would sit down on the premises to consume their purchases. As two young travellers it was not a huge deal but if you are a family it might not be the space for you!
JJMartinhoThe hotel looks very primising in the pictures, beautiful setting and facilities. Unfortunately we were a bit disqppointed on the way it is managed. It looks like the place is abandoned relying on its own structure and pictures.
Pros:
- beautiful setting and location, in front of a beautiful beach.
- rooms are well done, big bathrooms, nice outdoor area.
- faclities have a beautiful decoration, the bar, the restaurant.
Cons:
- cleaning! The resort has a cleaning issue. To the point that we wrote ”clean me” with our fingers on the restaurant toilet mirror, and it was there during our entire stay. Nothing has regular cleaning, spots everywhere, toilets are terrible specialy the poil toilet (see pictures).
- bar drinks are not good. We tried many drinks and juices in all the hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka, and this one we had to give up, drink after drink, juice after juice, were not good at all. Also the drink glasse come very very dirty.
- bar is beautiful but never had any music during our stay. Its a silent empty place, no one uses it... and the bartender usualy is not there which makes it a ghost place.
- service is welcoming but not prepared. For example before you reach the breakfast area upstairs they ask you: ”what do you want for breakfast? So i dont have to go upstairs to ask”, overall staff is tired, not motivated and have no training, they are as abandoned as the hotel.
- spa was closed during our entire stay, because the lady had days off. So we booked a hotel with a Spa that did not exist...you have to be lucky not to book on her days off.
- when at check-out i tried to tell them the place have lots of potential but they need to pay attention to this details they just replied: thank you for your stay, please make us a review on tripadvisor! So they just don't pay attention... which is sad to see. I wish they could change the management and have someone motivated and energic to transform the place into the best hotel in Sri Lanka, because they could be.

GGuest UserMaldives in Sri Lanka.
The sea absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed so much the walking on the endless beach. The staff is amazing , made my solo trip so rich of memories and extra care, done multiple activities and I recommend the dinner in the cellar as they have the best cellar in Sri Lanka , and also a must the dinner on the platform in the middle of the sea! A big thanks for the unforgettable memories , they made me live a dream
MMr Adam PorterGreat location just a short walk from the beach. Dennis was our host when we were there and he was absolutely fantastic, recommended good restaurants, helped organise transport, looked after us at breakfast and made you feel extremely welcome. Rooms are certainly ok for the price you’re paying but refurbishment is needed. Showers didn’t seem to have hot water, air conditioning was great though.
GGuest UserMy friend and I stayed here for two days. The service was very good. I bought beef and crab sea shrimp to the kitchen for processing. The staff was still helping.
