Amaya Beach Passikudah

Excellent hotel very spacious rooms toilets very clean loved our stay comfortable beds , only issue was staff should be trained to give a better service , check in took so long more than half hr no one knew how to process kept asking and passing our documents person to another , food was good beautiful hotel highly recommend this to anyone

The staff were really friendly including the manager, we got a free upgrade which we were really greatful for, beautiful location right by the beach. It was really quiet when we were here which we liked but I’m not sure what it would be like in main season.

For a pocket of luxury, Amaya Beach was a serene dream. The breakfast buffet was vast, catering to different nationalities. We particularly liked the hopper station and egg station all cooked to order, with kotta and other sambals to add. The pool was relaxed but a little hot like a bath. This cooled after a storm and was much more refreshing (yet still really warm!). The Honey Beach Bar provided more affordable meals if you're on B&B. The evening buffet wasn't worth it - costly and lacked any standout dish or ingredient. Note there aren't restaurants to choose from in the area - just those of the big hotels in the bay. We found the all inclusive guests a little rowdy and disrespectful of the space, staff and other guests.

From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home — so much so that we were genuinely sad to leave. The staff were incredibly warm, respectful, and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere right from the entrance. The check-in process was seamless, and our room was ready immediately. My wife and I were there to celebrate our anniversary, and upon entering our room, we were delighted to find a beautifully decorated bed and a delicious chocolate cake waiting for us. It was such a thoughtful and touching gesture. We were given a spacious balcony room with a stunning sea view. They had fast Wi-Fi everywhere. The location itself is absolutely breathtaking. The resort has its own private beach, which is calm, well-maintained, and exceptionally clean — a perfect place to relax and unwind. When it comes to food and drinks, I’m honestly speechless. The buffet offered a wide variety of delicious options, and everything we tried was full of flavor. Their cocktails and other beverages are also a must-try — expertly made and refreshing. One standout moment was during tea time when my wife had a craving for ros pan and dhal curry. We casually asked if it might be possible, and to our surprise, within 15 minutes, freshly baked ros pan and a warm dish of dhal curry were brought to our room. As a Sri Lankan, I can say without exaggeration that it was the best ros pan and dhal curry I have ever tasted. Another remarkable experience happened during the dinner buffet. I was at the grill section and noticed they only had pork sausages. Since I don’t eat pork, I asked if they had any chicken sausages. At the time, they didn’t — so I simply moved on. But to my amazement, a little while later, the chef personally came over with a dish full of freshly prepared chicken sausages just for me. That level of attention and care is truly rare. The hospitality at Amaya Beach is beyond commendable. Thanks everyone at Amaya beach.

Loved everything about this stay. It was very relaxing. The hotel has used the land and the private beach area in the most efficient manner. Very picturesque with the blue colour waters, we took a lot of photos! You can either swim in the private beach of the hotel and see corals, or walk over to the public beach without corals. The pool was good, lounge beds spreaded over the area provided a nice place to experience the wind and the sunsets. There was a lot of guests at the hotel but it did not feel overcrowded. Staff are very polite. Buffets were nice. They also had a place to play board games. Also jet ski, paddle boats etc were offered for additional charges. Staying for more than 1 night was a good choice. Will definitely go again.
