• Sara (10/5): Perfection - Fantastic property , felt like luxury and staff were amazing Nothing
• Trefiloff (10/5): - Живут в реке дикие крокодилы. Большой бассейн. Теплое море, чистый пляж. Завтрак норм. Море мутное было.

• gilberto (10/5): Bel resort, bel posto - Accoglienza e disponibilità del personale. Piacevole sorpresa: la possibilità di vedere i coccodrilli Unica imperfezione l'acqua della piscina poteva essere più pulita, ma a me non interessa il bagno in piscina

• Ruqaiya (8/5): -
• Garima (10/5): -
• Miruna (8/5): - Great breakfast. Very attentive and friendly staff. There are huts by the beach to enjoy beverages. Nothing
• Thilakshi (10/5): - Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. We had a truly memorable stay. The main reason we chose this hotel was because it allows pets. For us, a pet is part of the family. Unfortunately, the majority of Sri Lankans do not understand this and often treat pets poorly. Only a very small number of people treat pets the way they are treated in the Western world. Amethyst Resort allowed us to keep our lovely dog in our room, and he had some of the best days of his life. He walked with us on the beach and played freely on the sand. It was a joy to see. I kindly request the hotel management to please continue as a pet-friendly hotel. We heard that this policy may change due to certain religious beliefs in the area and because other star-class hotels do not allow pets. I sincerely hope Amethyst Resort will continue to stand out by welcoming pets. Once again, thank you. Every staff member was extremely kind and friendly, and we truly appreciate the warmth and care we received during our stay. I think it's good to hang a board in the pool. That pool is not to wash leg. We saw a group of people washed their dirty legs on the way to the room. Might some people don't know that the pool is for swimming only. Thanks
• Dinal (10/5): Perfect hotel to stay in passikudah - Excellent location, staff service was 5 stars. Decent breakfast buffet.
• Ayshani (8/5): -
• Anakan (7/5): -
• Ahmed (8/5): A place worth it's price - Very spacious room. We liked the pool...it would be nice if it was a little more deep. Place is generally quite clean, the breakfast was good decent variety. The lake here is not very clean....not properly lit up. Also room amenities were poor. There were no toiletries. Also the TV was a very old low quality TV.
• Gayan (7/5): -
• Raghavan (10/5): Excellent stay!!! We loved it and we will come back!!!! - Very hospitable staff Whole property very clean Location is amazing!!! 2 min walk to the beach from any room Food was nice but it could be better, chef is pretty limited in ability to cook different cuisines and could do more

• Stéphanie (8/5): -
• Krishnananthan (10/5): -
• Sergi (8/5): - El trato del personal Las instalaciones están muy bien pero hay pequeños detalles a mejorar, como alguna capa de pintura o algún elemento más dejado pero en general muy bien.
• Alexander (9/5): -
• Amith (10/5): -
• Willi (5/5): Not recommend ! - The restaurant staff seemed annoyed by the guests, while they themselves stood around looking bored. Not a recommendable resort.
• Jayasinghe (9/5): -
• John (8/5): prima - swimming pool and also beach where good. We have enjoy the time there when we where walking by the beach there was to much plastic, this was NOT by the hotel!
• John (9/5): we hebben genoten - het zwembad was goed. maaar ook de zee is op loopafstand. geen opmerkingen
• Waduge (9/5): -
• Mohammed Rauf (10/5): - Wonderful Location Very Clean
• Priyangani - English Teacher (5/5): -
• Ralph (9/5): - Sehr nettes personal
• Reisetante63 (9/5): Kurzurlaub mit Freunden - Das Hotel liegt direkt am Strand. Das Zimmer war geräumig und sauber. Ein schöner Pool lud zum Baden ein, im durchgehenden Fluss tummeln sich Krokodile, diese waren aber gut durch einen Zaun gesichert. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und nett. Das Essen war gut, aber am 1.Abend das Ala Card Gericht haette etwas mehr sein können. Das Buffet am nächsten Tag war gut und reichlich. Das Frühstück war perfekt, einmal serviert, einmal Buffet.
• Gaibriel (8/5): A nice place for a short visit. - The rooms were lovely and clean and the ac worked really well. The buffet selection for breakfast was very good and the staff were friendly and polite. Very interesting to see crocodiles in the (fenced) canal. It’s looking a little dated and could do with some modernisation of the pool area. Also the half dozen deck chairs on the beach were mostly broken.
• Hasitha (7/5): - Nice and clean
• Sara (10/5): -
• Damitu (8/5): -
• Sachini (9/5): -
• Natalia (9/5): - Номер большой, чистый, есть все необходимое, как и полагается в отеле подобного уровня. Вкусные завтраки, утром дважды видели крокодила в реке! Бассейн классный, отдыхали в октябре в отеле никого почти не было, очень понравилось. Вокруг отеля нет никакой инфраструктуры, через дорогу один ресторанчик и все. Будьте к этому готовы.
• Julie (7/5): Basic no frills.But it's got everything u need..Rooms are Spacious.Large bathroom. Good location. - Buffet breakfast was good.Pool area was good to..But the resort needs more sunning lounges and Umbrellas
• Dilshan (8/5): -
• Nazath (8/5): - Location, view and the facilities. Pool had a bad smell coming around.
• Grzegorz (4/5): - Bardzo miły personel który stara się i pomaga na każdym kroku. Duży basen. Blisko ładna plaża. Wszechobecne robaki. W pierwszym pokoju gniazdo mrówek, muchy,karaluchy i jaszczurki które wchodzą przez szparę pod drzwiami. Pierwszej nocy przez owady nie spaliśmy pół nocy a rano na ubraniach znaleźliśmy odchody jaszczurek. Po zmianie pokoju trochę się polepszyło aczkolwiek mrówki nie zniknęły. Były w toalecie a momentami nawet w łóżku.
• Kumarasinghe (9/5): -
• renuka sandaya kumari (10/5): Vorrai Ritornare tt bellissimo non manca Nulla - Semplicemente tt perfetto Vista Mare Nulla
• Kicki Susanne (10/5): - Fantastisk beliggenhed. Bestillt strand hus. Fantastisk Ikke noget.
• Joselyn (7/5): - Die Lage und der Strand sind sehr schön. Der Sandstrand ermöglicht problemloses Baden im Meer am eigenen Strandabschnitt (sauber). Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. Es gibt viel ungenutztes Potenzial in der Anlage. Besonders gestört hat uns, dass es zu wenige Liegen und Sonnenschirme gab. Auch die Preise im Restaurant und an der Poolbar waren zu hoch. Hier stimmt insgesamt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht ganz.
• Armin (10/5): - Rundum tolles Hotel. Nettes Personal und die Lage am Teich mit den Krokodilen war der Wahnsinn. Haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Frühstück war auch sehr lecker und der Strandabschnitt sowie der Pool sind top. Mittagessen a la carte hat uns nicht umgehauen
• Tessa (8/5): Rustige en comfortabele plek aan het strand om te onstpannen voor een tussenstop. - De kamers zijn ruim, schoon en erg comfortabel. Zwembad dat direct gelegen is aan het strand. Erg vriendelijk personeel. Je kunt er krokodillen zien in de lagoon. Heerlijk om te ontspannen op doorreis. Het is een beetje out-dated. De strandbedjes zijn oud en toen wij er waren was de beach bar gesloten. Het eten was prima maar de kwaliteit van het eten is niet helemaal naar de prijs.
• Samuel (10/5): Superbe - Nous avons passé un séjour exceptionnel à l’Amethyst Resort ! Le cadre est magnifique, tout était parfaitement propre et confortable. Le personnel a été absolument adorable et aux petits soins, et le restaurant propose une cuisine délicieuse. Mention spéciale à William pour sa gentillesse et son accueil chaleureux, qui ont rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !
• Jean Noel (4/5): Nicht überzeugend & nicht zum Empfehlen - Die Anlage hat auf den ersten Blick einiges zu bieten: ein schöner Pool und der direkte Zugang zum Strand sind definitiv Pluspunkte. Leider konnten wir unseren Aufenthalt trotzdem nicht so richtig genießen. Das Essen sowie der Service des Personals waren eher durchschnittlich und die Poolbar war die meiste Zeit leer, was schade war. Auch die Lage hat uns nicht überzeugt, da es in der Umgebung kaum etwas zu unternehmen gibt. Weniger angenehm fanden wir außerdem, dass das Zimmer Insekten hatte und die Strandtücher nicht wirklich sauber waren. Insgesamt hat für uns das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis leider nicht gestimmt.
• birgit (7/5): - - Sehr nette Mitarbeiter - Zimmer tiptop - Ala carte Curry war super ( Grosses Lob an die Köchin) - Hotel ist etwas in die Jahr gekommen, bräuchte ein Makeover ( z.B. Liegen, Strandbar ) - Speisesaal sehr ungemütlich, man fühlt sich wie in einer Bahnhofshalle - Preis- Leistung ist nicht gegeben (teuerstes Hotel unserer Reise aber am wenigsten Charm)
• birgit (8/5): - - Saubere Zimmer - ansprechendes Buffet zum Frühstück und zum Abendessen - Hotel ist etwas in die Jahr gekommen, könnte hier und da etwas "aufgehübscht" und das Inventar erneuert/repariert werden - ungemütlicher Speisesaal - Preis- Leistung passt nicht im Vergleich zu anderen Hotels während unserer Reise
• Priscilla (10/5): - muy tranquillo, bonito y personal muy amable. la habitation me encanto Podia ser por la noche una terazza/restaurate/bar en la playa. Hay no pero cierre muy pronto
• emmanuel (9/5): -
• cristina (1/5): Pessim. Per no tornar-hi ni recomanar-ho - La platja de Passikudah. Es preciosa. Es un preu exagerat. L’hotel necessita urgentment una renovació. Habitacions brutes. Formigues i bitxos a l’habitació. Dutxa amb fongs. Cortines esquinçades. Ni un endoll a les tauletes de nit. Menjador tancat allunyat de la platja. Menú poc variat. Tot el que se surt del menú, caríssim. Personal poc atent i poc empàtic. Vam tenir un ensurt amb els impostos que et cobren, que han representat un sobre cost del 25% sobre le preu de la reserva. I a sobre, la pèssima qualitat de les Instalaciones, una gran decepció.
• ALFREDO (10/5): - Struttura stupenda affacciata su una bella spiaggia di sabbia. Spiaggia attrezzata per gli ospiti. Ottima colazione. .
• roberta (8/5): - Pur essendo la struttura meno elegante della spiaggia, abbiamo trovato comunque un resort accogliente e con tutto il necessario per trascorrere 4 giorni di relax. La nostra camera aveva una stupenda vista mare ed era complessivamente pulita. Colazione buona ed abbondante a buffet. La posizione è stata per noi un punto di forza in quanto ci permetteva di uscire a cena raggiungendo facilmente a piedi i ristoranti vicini, rimanendo in contatto con la meravigliosa popolazione locale che aveva accesso alla vicinissima spiaggia pubblica. Andrebbero rimodernati i lettini per la spiaggia e la piscina. Non abbiamo apprezzato che la pulizia della camera avvenisse nel primo pomeriggio e non la mattina. Non abbiamo provato il ristorante né per cena né per pranzo quindi non abbiamo un giudizio in merito.
• Klaus (8/5): Schöner Strand mit Korallenstücken. - Schöner Strand mit Korallenstücken, ist aber wesentlich besser als bei den angrenzenden Hotels. Im Fluß innerhalb des Hotels Bit es auch Krokodile die man mit etwas Glück sehen kann (wir haben gleich 3 am letzten Tag gesehen). Das Personal an der Poolbar und in der Bar am Abend ist nicht immer vorhanden. Allerdings Samanta beim Frühstück und William als Kofferträger sind sehr herzlich und stets bemüht einsam eine gute Zeit zu bereiten. Frühstücksbuffet ist ausgezeichnet. Gutes Essen gibt es auch außerhalb der Hotels in wenigen Fußweg Minuten. Genervt hat allerdings die Musik eines Snackschop in der Umgebung. Immer die selbe Melodie den ganzen Tag bis in die Nacht.
• Christelle (8/5): - Belle grande chambre avec une spacieuse salle de bains. Superbe complexe avec une piscine offrant une vue magnifique sur la mer. Les buffets du dîner et du petit-déjeuner sont très variés et excellents. La literie est confortable. Malgré la climatisation, la chambre restait assez chaude. En arrivant un dimanche, la plage située près de l’hôtel était bondée et très bruyante, mais cela fait aussi partie de ce beau pays
• Julien (8/5): Bien mais personnel désagréable et hôtel vieillissant mais - Chambre confortable, belle plage mais très bruyante avec les locaux à côté. Petit déjeuner correct mais pas varié. Personnel désagréable, tous autant qu’ils sont. Ni un merci ni un au revoir au moment du départ. Plage : beaucoup de transats cassés mais les matelas sont confortables. Tarifs du restaurant excessif. Nous avons pris tous nos repas à l’hôtel Amalya à côté. C’est super bon et moins cher, et le cadre beaucoup plus sympa sur la plage. Le soir, leur buffet est exceptionnel pour quelques roupies de plus et le service bien plus agréable, à refaire nous aurions préféré séjourner dans cet hôtel.
• Anna (9/5): Beautiful location and nice facilities, very comfortable and relaxing - The location is great, right by the beach, which is great for swimming. We also did a bit of snorkeling off the beach closeby. The pool was very nice. We saw quite some beautiful birds around the hotel, and even a baby crocodile (in a fenced off river so not dangerous). We liked the food too.
• James (6/5): -
• Fazmin (6/5): Decent - Dinner and pool are good. Beachfront is ok. Staff was very friendly. Property doesn’t match the price I paid. Property was very expensive and it didn’t match expectations.
• Antonino (8/5): Basta una notte - Struttura ottima, sulla spiaggia, molto rilassante. Cena a buffet non buona e nulla da fare per il post cena.
• Silvio (9/5): -
• Nathalie (6/5): A good location for snorkelling trip to Kayankerni, but accommodation and facilities disappointing - It had a decent sized pool and had easy access to the beach. It had some interesting water-sports provided along the beachfront and we were able to book a good snorkelling trip to Kayankerni which has great coral and a lot of varied, amazing fish. No reef sharks there, but do have turtles sometimes but we didn't see any. We did see some BIG crocs in the lake/moat by the bridge from Reception. That was pretty cool. The apartment blocks looked like a concentration camp! Clean inside, but not massive. The buffet dinner and breakfast was pretty poor. We turned up about 30 minutes into service and there was hardly anything left! and we had to wait ages for them to restock. Even then, there was very limited choice and it wasn't that great compared to the other places we'd stayed, even though they were in the same price range. The beach bar attached to the hotel was shut and the options along the beach front were very limited and quite poor. We ended up ordering some drinks at the hotel and commandeering the beach bar for ourselves! Luckily, there are a few restaurants along the road before you turn into the hotel, where we had dinner 2 nights.
• Katja (8/5): Ok - Der Pool; die Lage am Strand. Das Personal ist freundlich und aufmerksam. Der Hotelmanager hat uns persönlich zu einem Arzt gefahren, den wir dringend besuchen mussten. Er hat sogar einen Übersetzer für uns organisiert. Nochmals vielen Dank dafür!! Direkt nebenan kann man in der Strandbad des Nachbarhotels gut essen. Das Hotel hat irgendwie wenig Charme, der Fluss unter der Brücke müffelt; die Pool/Strand-Liegen sind eine Katastrophe, gebrochenes Plastik. Der Frühstücksraum eher lieblos, der Strandbereich irgendwie ungemütlich. Obwohl alle sehr nett waren, würden wir das nächste Mal ein benachbartes Hotel buchen; weil es uns von den Bepflanzungen und des Strandbereichs einladender erschien.
• Stefaan (7/5): Voor deze prijs mag je toch meer verwachten. - Gelegen aan rustig strand. Stilaan wat gedateerd aan het geraken. Vrij sfeerloos. Weinig ligbedjes aan zwembad.
• Federico (7/5): Ottima posizione per relax totale, struttura e servizi da migliorare. - Posizione straordinaria sulla spiaggia, bella piacina e camera ampia con veranda comoda e nel nostro caso vista mare. Lo staff gentilissimo e a disposizione. Spiaggia non attrezzata é é un gran peccato. Abbiamo occupato l’unico ombrellone a disposizione. In generale la struttura comincia ad essere un po datata.
• Giada (7/5): - La camera era molto spaziosa e davvero pulita con una bella vista sul mare (i ragazzi delle pulizie tra l'altro davvero carini e disponibili). Il letto era comodo quindi sulla camera nulla da dire. Il prezzo è un pò alto secondo me per la zona e per i servizi che offre. In reception ci hanno messo un'ora per fare il check in, noi venivamo da un viaggio lungo ed eravamo stanchi. Dopo un'ora ci hanno dato la camera e hanno voluto che lasciassimo li le valigie per portarcele loro. Dopo 40 minuti ancora non le avevano portare in camera così son tornata in reception per chiedere. Erano lì in 5 persone a chiacchierare con le valigie ancora lì per terra. Così decido di prendere io da sola le valigie (2 zaini da 80 litri più un altra borsa) e di portarle in camera e nessuno mi ha dato una mano. Stavano li a guardarmi impassibili e a farsi i fatti loro. Menefreghismo puro. Servizi insomma, la piscina era sporca e c'erano 5 lettini anche mezzi rotti. Ci vorrebbe un pò più di attenzione al cliente visto il prezzo che paghi.
• Steffen (9/5): - Tolle Lage. Wir hatten den Strand komplett für uns alleine und das Meer war super ruhig und angenehm zum schwimmen. Außerdem können im Fluss Krokodile beobachtet werden (vor allem in der Abenddämmerung). Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und das Essen lecker.
• Alexander (8/5): A perfect spot for a beach getaway, though the food and certain amenities could be improve - Great location, stunning beach, beautiful grounds, and very attentive staff. Perfect for a holiday. Some facilities could use an update, especially the sun loungers. Food is rather repetitive.
• Anton (8/5): -
• Johanna (6/5): - Mycket bra läge precis vid stranden. Fin pool. Ok standard på rummen, men inte mer. Trevlig och tillmötesgående personal. Lite ödsligt framför hotellet, mot stranden. Man borde kunna göra mer med den ytan. Lite mer inbjudande strandbar hade varit trevligt.
• Marcin (10/5): Spędziliśmy tam cudowne trzy dni relaksu. - Wszystko było ok, pokoje przestronne bardzo czyste. Super lokalizacja przy samej plaży. Basen duży i czysty. Personel bardzo miły i pomocny.
• Adrian (8/5): - Amethyst was a great, well priced stay. The location on the beach was very nice and lower than some of the other, more modern hotels up the beach. Breakfast buffet was extensive. During our stay, it could be very hard to find a staff member once you are out near the pool area. There was always staff at reception or the buffet, but you would often be around the pool or at the back bars and there wouldn’t be be anyone taking orders from guests.
• Tereza (10/5): Great place to be - Very special place, we were amazed how neat, clean and cozy the resort is. Staff were very attentive and kind (esp., the desk manager, Sanjeewa). Food was delicious. Resort is conveniently located, so you can enjoy many walks and activities nearby. Fully recommended!
• Manav (9/5): Great location!! - Location - awesome private access beach, river which is at foul smelling at times but it has a good ecosystem with fishes, birds, crocodiles etc. At times, with the sand ants come on the bed. And we end up getting bitten by them.
