1. KAY JAY PALMS

Kalkudah

"We enjoyed our stay at Kay Jay Palms. The rooms were spacious and very clean. A/C and fan combo kept the rooms cool in the day and night. We had breakfast and dinners there. The portion sizes were much more than we could finish. It is 5 min drive from Pasikuda beach which was very convenient for beach days in the morning and the ability to change before other activities in the afternoon. Overall a great experience. "

"This property has all it takes to be a beach paradise and doesn't cost a fortune (thus you should forgive some minor faults). All the rooms have a sea view, the pool is almost straight out on the beach, and the beach itself is spectacular. It also doesn't feel like a chain resort, which in my opinion is a big plus. Only two hotels on this side of peninsula mean that for most of the time you're completely on your own on the sand. And you can walk for miles without meeting anyone! However, when...

Amaya Beach Pasikudah

Pasikuda

10/10 Excellent

This was the nicest place we stayed at, with beautiful views, comfortable and spacious rooms and a great pool. Staff were also very friendly and also up for a chat (good at English also). Breakfast buffet was great, with the option of Sri Lankan food and a chef on-hand to make waffles or omelettes. Reasonable price - the breakfast buffet was well worth it. We only stayed one night but could easily have done another. With not much else going on in Kalkudah, more than a couple of days here...

We loved Passi Villas- it’s very quiet, pool was great and food was great. We had half board with fresh pastries fruit and eggs for breakfast and for dinner a 3-4 course meal- I had the fish every night which was different daily The management leave you alone and you have the manager’s phone number if you need anything urgently. In the morning I would talk to the chef about what we would like for dinner- so very personal service. If you don’t like peace and quiet then you won’t like this place-...

We booked this hotel specifically for the ocean view, paid extra for the privilege but were given a room with no view. We asked for the room to be changed as we had paid for "Ocean View". We were told they were fully booked and were unable to change rooms until the following day. We were then shown the room that we were to have. The following day we were moved, but to another room with a partial "Ocean view". None of the rooms had "Ocean views and their website has since been changed to reflect...
