Amaya Beach Passikudah

Beautiful beach, great staff and very comfortable hotel

There was a flock of crows that occasionally gather close to the pool area trying to get left over food. They were quite intrusive when they went after the food.

The hotel is nice, the grounds are large and pleasant, the staff is polite, and the receptionists are always helpful. The room is spacious, clean, comfortable, and modern (there are a few minor niggles, like the closet light, which is clearly designed to turn off when the door is closed, but the buttons are installed in such a way that the doors cannot physically press them, thus light is always on). The beach is good, but swimming is not possible there, firstly because of the coral (there are a lot of them there), and secondly because the water is so shallow (you can wade out for a long time, expecting the bottom to drop, but the water remains waist-deep). If it weren't for the coral, you could swim even at that depth, but you can bump your knees into the coral, which is unpleasant. This isn't a problem, though, because if you go left along the beach, as soon as the hotel grounds end, the coral reef ends as well, and you can swim there. The only issue is that in the evenings, a lot of people come to swim in this particular spot, so if you don't want to be surrounded by crowd, you'll have to walk further. The beach itself is huge, with plenty of room for everyone.

What I didn't like was the service at the bar. We decided to have dinner there and also get a few cocktails. Half of our order wasn't written down and, as a result, wasn't brought. The cocktails are marked up by about 30% compared to the menu. I think this should be written in large font. They are inexpensive, but I prefer to know in advance how much I have to pay. Again, we paid upfront, but for some reason they wanted to charge us for some of our orders when checking out. This problem was solved very quickly, but it left a bad taste in the mouth. However, these are minor drawbacks and overall we enjoyed our stay there.

Lovely stuff and beautiful view

Not much to do in the area so you just have to stay at the resort

Luna de miel de ensueño. La atención espectacular por parte de todo el personal del hotel. Nos hicieron un pastel especial de bienvenida. Las habitaciones son muy grandes y cómodas, la nuestra tenía una vistas al mar inmejorables. La comida y desayunos de buffet nos gustó mucho. Todo genial. GRACIAS!!!

Quizá la televisión un poco antigua y el wifi iba un poco lento.
