Sunrise Pasikuda

The staff were absolutely amazing and accommodating. My dad has Dementia and the staff made sure both he and my mum were well looked after and attended to. The beach and pool were both clean and not crowded. The food was good - particularly the local Sri Lankan dishes. And the drinks were good.

Warm, friendly staff - this hotel had a beautifully designed main building where we enjoyed al fresco eating from the varied and superbly cooked/arranged buffet. After dinner we enjoyed the ping pong and pool table which helped entertain our family. The swimming pool was sublime. The gardens, pathways and trees leading down to the beach were well kept and helped support a relaxing atmosphere. The bedrooms had everything we needed as well as incredibly comfortable beds - quiet, with the added bonus of a balcony. We loved our family holiday! The only thing we thought needed improving was the bar. It was not a relaxing place to sit and had uncomfortable chairs. If there had been a place to chill out comfortably with ambient music where we could purchase drinks and icecream - that would have been ideal. Hopefully, this could be incorporated into the rebuild of the beach bar.

Excellent beach

We had an extended stay at this property from late December through January. We were happy with every aspect of our visit. The food was exceptional and the staff always had a smile. Everybody from the General Manager, to Executive Chef to the house keeping staff regularly checked in to be sure we were satisfied and see if they could do anything for us to make our stay pleasant. They went above and beyond by doing things like play board games with our daughter when on a given day there werent any other children to play with. Most days there were one or two other kids for her to play with, but there were a few days when were grateful the staff would help to keep her interested. The pool and condition of the beach was superb. By far the best up and down the beach and we checked them all out during our visit.It is remote, so there are not a lot of things to do outside the resort. Thats OK as the hotel offers a fair amount of things to do and we like to be away from the hustle and bustle. Across the street there is a coconut farm that offers a very interesting tour. There is also an option to take a tuk tuk into town to get produce or poke around and see how the locals live.Some people warned us about the weather at this time of year, but during our entire stay it only rained a few times for about 5 minutes and one day for most of the morning. Very good considering we had an extended stay. We will definitely visit again next time we go to Sri Lanka!
