Hotels near Kallady Pillaiyar Kovil, Batticaloa

Karpaha Sands is an absolutely wonderful boutique hotel that delivers on so many levels. The safari-style tents with outdoor shower create a very stylish and romantic ambience, the restaurant and bar offer lots of choice and consistently high quality food and drink. The location, off the beaten track, is stunning and relaxing. The public spaces are beautifully designed with attention to detail, I could go on and on. Umberto, the general manager strives to deliver a very personalised service and talks to guests on a daily basis. He even offered our 9-year-old to accompany him into the kitchen and help cook his pasta! Both the Sri Lankan and Italian dishes offered in the restaurant were delicious and fairly prices, as were the drinks. We booked half-board and were very pleased that we weren't limited to a small separate menu but could choose freely off the normal menu, which had lots of options and huge portion sizes. Ash, our butler looked after us extremely well. When he saw us up for sunrise on the beach he offered to bring us a cappuccino. He surprised us with a wedding anniversary cake and when after our meal, we returned to our room we find our bed decorated with towel art and flowers. He arranged our beach bbq dinner and acted as our personal server during the evening, even taking photos and videos for us! He also organised our cinema under the stars and brought us popcorn, it was a wonderful way to while away the evening. Karpaha Sands is the kind of place that truly relaxes you and lets you forget all your stresses and strains. Sadly I didn't get round to trying the ayurvedic spa treatments, which looks very inviting and again were very fairly prices. All in all we were very sad to leave and would have happily stayed longer. We would throughougly recommend staying here if you're visiting this part of Sri Lanka.

A fabulous experience. Our 4 day stay was outstanding. The ambience and aesthetics of this beautiful hotel are just the place to calm the mind and feed the body & soul. The Seaview room was so comfortable. The spa experience was bliss. The food so delicious and of such good quality with a mix of excellent Sri Lankan and Western cuisine. The cocktails weren’t bad either. The safe bath water temperature of the sea was magical. The service was exceptional. Special shout out to Tharindu and Shakila whose friendly and caring service made our experience even more enjoyable. We will be back. ❤️🍸❤️

What an amazing hotel with excellent facilities and fantastic pool! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The highlight was enjoying sundown drinks at the bar. ———————————————————————

Magnificent sandy beach. There is a reef nearby where you can swim with a snorkel (it is better to negotiate with a separate service on the shore to the right. Good buffet dinners, I do not recommend a la carte. If you want more seafood - 10 minutes on foot cafe Captain. Of the minuses: 1. most important: urgently need to go to the beach more sun loungers. Well, not enough!!! You have to borrow, well, what a nonsense. A huge beach, a lot of places, a lot of palm trees, under which you can lie down, but not on anything. 2. Breakfast is rather weak, but you won’t leave hungry. In my opinion, not corresponds to the price 3. Far from everything, well, there is nothing at all, knock-knock to help 4. The staff sometimes, let's say, slow down, but they try.

We stayed at Anantaya from 22nd - 23rd Dec as a part of our honeymoon tour in Passikudah. It’s an insta worthy place, specially the pool area. Pool was amazing.. we really enjoyed the large pool and our ocean and pool view room was just perfect. We loved the bedding.. it was so cozy.. we enjoyed a cup of tea in the evening at the. balcony with that amazing view. Room service and housekeeping staff were very helpful to us during the stay with all of our requests. The front office team was very welcoming and friendly. Everyone was adhering to the health and safety standards. The food was alright but some improvements wouldn’t hurt. It would have been better if the breakfast buffet had a better choice.. However, upon request the chef made us a delicious omelet for breakfast and we enjoyed a lot.. special thank you to the Chef! Since we were on half board we wanted to have lunch on the 23rd Dec from the hotel itself. When we went to check that with the restaurant staff, there were two staff members and one was on the mobile (probably the restaurant manager based on the conversation he was having on the phone) and the other was assisting him with the call. So we waited a little assuming someone would attend to us. Since it was taking longer than we thought, we tried signalling them that we wanted to speak to one of them but even after seeing us they ignored. We gave up on the idea of having lunch at the hotel and proceeded to checkout. When we were leaving that person who was on the phone came to speak with us but by that time we’ve decided elsewhere for lunch. Apart from this minute incident, overall our experience with Anantaya Passikudah was good!
