Every one at this resort was very helpful. The beach was perfect for a non swimmer. We had a great time here. Thank you.

We loved our stay here, it was a luxurious four days. The rooms with a sea view are the best.

The only thing that needs improving is areas around the pool or beach with shade. There were umbrellas at the beach, but most were broken.

Serenity and relaxing

The reception checkin went very smoothly, the staff are friendly and helpful. The resort is just ideal for me to rest before continuing on my travel. As you can see my bookings I’ve been here in Sri Lanka since May. I would like yo stay a few more days at reception they told me to notify you about extending my stay 27Jun single, a friend will join me for 1 day 28th Jun is double occupancy with breakfast, 29-30 Jun single occupancy with breakfast. Please let me know if the original rates would apply and the total amount. Thank you very much, appreciate the help ! Yvonne Tung

This place is for those who want to have a relaxing, wind down kind of holiday. There is water sports as entertainment at an extra cost. The Resident Manager and all the staff are friendly and helpful. I need to make a special mention about staff member Samanthe in the dining room Taprobane, who was very attentive and helpful not only to us but the rest of the holiday makers. We had a seaview room and loved it. Very spaceous and walk onto the beach. Calm waters and weather perfect every day for the 8 days we stayed there.

Good value. Spacious room. But It’s a bit odd that tables for dinner and breakfast are already assigned by the room. They put us on the table right next to garage box and seat change was refused regardless restaurant was very empty. Dinner buffet is limited and the quality is mediocre at the best. Some waiters at the restaurant are not very attractive.

Very friendly, helpful, quick responsive staff ready to help all the time. Welcoming front staff are awesome specially Ranchan very knowledgeable and guided us where & when to visit near by attractions. Delicious food all the time and variety at the breakfast buffet makes it better. Well organized 2023 Christmas Eve gatherings were memorable. Thanks for making our vacation one of a kind experience.

About food and stay.

The place is nice. Better to relax. I booked by hotels. Com. There is no option for full board. Only bread and breakfast. And also we can't book triple room from hotels. Com

We expected buffet. But we got only set menu because of less people. Dinner set menu is not that good.

Evening I ordered some chicken sandwiches. Pricess are way high. I paid 1900 rupees for one sandwich. Local people not able to afford that much money. It's OK for forigners. Don't buy any snacks without checking their menu with prices. For my order they don't bring menu and just tell me what they have at the end they surprise me from snack bill.

Good value with nice pool

Good value hotel in nice beachfront location. Very clean with a nice pool. We had the buffet 1 night and it was fine but ate out the other 2 nights. Did a day tour of Batticaloa which is about 20km away which was fun.

Lovely stay at Amethyst Resort

We had a great trip and the hotel was fantastic. However, the trips that you could do from the hotel were all very overpriced and weren’t particularly well organised, we booked to go snorkelling one day and waited for half an hour, only to go to reception where they told us it hadn’t been booked. They were very apologetic about this though and it didn’t impact our enjoyment of our trip too much.

Relaxing stay until...

Nice relaxing stay in this resort dominated by hotels with very little else in the local area but for the beautiful sandy beach. Hotel was great value, especially compared to the other options in the area. Large pool, clean rooms and friendly staff. Perhaps neglects it's beachfront position a little, and more could be made of the beach bar and pool area to pull other customers in and give some life to the hotel. We ended up eating in other hotels as a result of the lack of atmosphere. Had no problems with the hotel until a small amount (£30) went missing from our hotel room. The management did what they could, but without cctv there was little responsibility taken and we certainly did see our money returned. Left a bit of a sour note after an otherwise uneventful few days

Perfect hotel in paradise.

Everything about this hotel is superb. The rooms are enormous, comfortable and spotless. The hotel is situated on the best part of the beach which is clean and safe for swimming in. The staff are exceptionally kind and helpful and go out of there way to make your stay as perfect as possible. The food is simply delicious and there is a wide variety to suit all preferences. It is impossible to fault anything!

Overpriced for 3.5 star hotel.

Management was responsive to complaints. There are a dozen little things this hotel could do to make the experience so much better. Breakfast tables dirty on a daily basis. Coffee sachets at the breakfast buffet. The staff try hard but don't have a lot to work with or the right training to lift this place from 3 stars to 4. Charges even at last minute prices are way over what they should be for the standard of hotel.

\"Sea view\" heisst hier direkt am unverbauten Strand sein Zimmer zu bekommen (mit aufmerksamer Bewachung) - wunderbar. Der Pool ist sehr gross und für Streckenschwimmen geeignet. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und professionell. Der Manager ist überall sichtbar und führt sein Resort ausgezeichnet. Habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt!
