Amaya Beach Passikudah

Great views, amazing rooms, friendly staff.

There was also a bit of a lack of choice for dinner foods (given there is not much in the town either). It was buffet every night - it would have been nice to have had a sit down restaurant too. Although, the buffet food was good. Some things were slightly lacking which you wouldn’t expect from a hotel of the rating/price. For example (a minor thing), there was a games room but all the ping pong balls we’re cracked and unusable. There is a service charge added on every item. No problem whatsoever with tipping, however it was often difficult to get served by waiting staff around the bar so you would go to the bar yourself more often than not and still pay the charge.

A pleasant hotel with lovely rooms, excellent facilities, beautiful grounds and attentive staff. The breakfasts were exceptional.

Our two-night stay coincided with loud events on both evenings: a local festival adjacent to the resort and a private party taking place directly in front of our room. We received only a few hours’ notice each afternoon that the music would continue late into the night, significantly disrupting our stay. Guests should be informed well in advance about events that may affect their comfort, particularly when paying full rates. Aside from this issue, the staff provided exceptional hospitality overall, and management compensated us with complimentary drinks.

Clean and very open plan Shakila in the main restaurant gave us an excellent service went out of the way arranging some food for us

There is no good beach in front of the hotel It is all coral and can’t go to the water Next to the hotel is public beach and was full with local people playing games there We had to go far from the hotel to access the beach and the ocean which was a real disappointment When we booked the hotel if we knew about the coral beach we would have chosen some other hotel

Staff are nice Location is acceptable Prices of spa is very reasonable Rooms are acceptable

Small pool with limited seating around pool Buffet is horrible and not worth paying for No room service after 11:30 Limited staff Service not up to expected standard
