I recently stayed in this hotel in Pasikuda, Sri Lanka, which is beautifully located on a clean beach with gentle waves during this season. (September 2024) The hotel rooms were modern and spacious, providing a comfortable stay. They also have a dedicated water sports section that offered exciting Jet Ski rides and a snorkeling trip to the nearby "Kayankerni" Coral Reef for a reasonable additional cost. Snorkeling was an amazing first-time experience for both my wife and me, and it was impressive that even some 5-star hotels do not have a water sports center like this one. The hotel features a large swimming pool with a depth of 9 feet at one end, perfect for a refreshing swim. The location is ideal, with no stones or corals that could hurt your feet while enjoying the beach. Although the hotel manager was not present during our visit, we were warmly greeted by the manager from their sister hotel, who made us feel welcome.

Due to the trees near the pool, fallen leaves frequently make the pool dirty. It would be great if the management could consider installing a net cover to prevent this.

The beach and Room Service and Staff very fabulous, and food and beverages are not recommended. no varieties and options.

Staff service, room service and cleanliness are great. location arrangements are good.

The beach and their water sport activities are excellent.. they took us snorkeling at Kaayankerni reef and it was an amazing experience.. They took great care of us.. Thank you team..

The beach is right behind the hotel and you can use the sunbeds for free and also get fresh towels for these. The rooms look like on the photos.

1. The breakfast is buffet style but not even close to what is advertised in the photos. If you book half-board, you can choose between 3 options (no buffet). The options consist of a vegetarian meal (which was plaon pasta with ketchup) and a chicken or searood option (which comes with mashed or unseasoned roast potatoes and some plain vegetables in our case carrot and green beans or cabbage - see the pictures). It is a 5-course meal on paper though. 2. The service is quite bad. We usually had to ask them to be served at the meals. The communication in English was also quite difficult. 3. The sheets on the bed where dirty when we arrived with dark patches and hair. Also there was visible dust on the floor. The bathroom does not have a proper window. Maybe that is the readon why we saw cockroaches on every night or the cleanliness overall. 4. speaking of animals: It appeared that tjey only sold the rooms in the top floor. But under the roof birds are living and breeding which was really noisy during the day. Maybe it was also the birds that kept us up at night or even other animals but we can‘t be sure of that. The ceiling has definetely no noise insulation. In conclusion: From our personal point of view this hotel should not deserve 4 stars. It was our most expensive accomodation in Sri Lanka with the worst overall performance.
