Sunrise Pasikuda

The food selection was good, but could have been better. This was due to the fact that there were very few guests staying when we were there.

Espacious room, friendly staff and proximity to beach.

We had a very relaxing stay at sunrise. The facilities are amazing, the rooms, the pool / table tennis table and of course the massive pool! Incredible location being slightly set back from the beach which was a very nice and calm sea. The staff were all so friendly and attentive, we felt very well looked after. The food was pretty good and reasonably priced too.

The Sunrise Pasikuda Hotel is a good hotel with a magnificent private beach. The water is wonderfully warm, which makes swimming very enjoyable. The food is very good, and the buffet concept is excellent. The rooms and bathrooms are clean, comfortable, and well maintained.

Unfortunately, the staff experience needs improvement. Communication in English was often difficult, and the overall atmosphere felt quite strange at times—almost unfriendly—which made us feel less welcome than expected. There is also a beach bar that remains empty and unused, which is a real shame. In addition, the cocktails served at the bar were disappointing and lacked quality, especially considering the standard the hotel aims to offer.

This hotel has the potential to be excellent thanks to its location and facilities, but more effort is needed to create a warmer, more welcoming atmosphere and improve some aspects of the guest experience.

Gutes Hotel mit Zugang zu sehr schönem Strand. Guter Service und leckeres Frühstück.

It was amazing!
We had a wonderful stay. It is located on a very beautiful and quiet beach where you can easily enter the sea. The staff was fantastic; they are very friendly and help with everything you can think of. The restaurant also had a very good and varied menu. Breakfast was excellent and had very generous portions. The room was very clean and the beds were wonderful. Truly a huge recommendation if you are going to Pasikuda!

We had such a great stay at Hotel Sunrise Pasikuda in May 2026 and ended up spending six nights there.

The rooms were really lovely—spacious, nicely set up, and always very clean. It was easy to feel comfortable right away.

What stood out most, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely friendly and helpful, and you could tell they really cared about making guests feel welcome.

The food was another big plus. We tried quite a few dishes during our stay and everything was fresh and full of flavor. Definitely something to look forward to each day.

We also loved the little touches from room service. Every day they surprised us by folding the towels into a different animal on the bed, which was such a fun and thoughtful detail.

And then there’s the pool—it’s huge. Perfect whether you want to swim a few laps or just relax by the water.

All in all, we had a really relaxing and enjoyable time and would happily come back again.

Sehr sauber, nettes Personal. Schöne Anlage

Der Pool war sehr gepflegt und sehr gross.Der Strand war sauber,leider gab es viele Sandflöhe und laute Musik von einem nahegelegenen öffentlichem Strand.Das Zimmer war sehr sauber ,vielen dank an Jérom der jeden Tag eine neue Bettdekoration gestaltet hat

We stayed here in 2017 and it made such a positive happy impression that on this return visit we were determined to fit Sunrise hotel into our itinerary and it didn't disappoint!

The best egg hoppers I've had this time in Sri Lanka and we lived and worked in Sri Lanka 2005-2010 so I've had alot of egg hoppers in my time. We were in need of some rest and relaxation after a lot of visits to former students and former colleagues and Sunrise was perfect. We had a lovely time.Thank you for letting us have a late check out. Much appreciated. If we ever return to SL we'll come back to you.

Good sized room and comfy bed. Swimming pool was massive and very clean. Food was delicious. The best thing was the staff who took care of us throughout our stay making our room immaculate as well as always being attentive to our requests at meals and by the pool.

Just an absolute tropical dream. The hotel is very beautiful and feels very relaxed to be in. The spaces are thoughtful and there are lots of places to lounge and relax so you feel like you are on a private retreat even with other guests.

Our favourite part was the loungers under big beautiful native trees on the beach. They are tucked under trees but right on the water so you can swim in the ocean and then lay in the shade and drink mango juice 👌 their spot on the beach is also more peaceful and secluded than some of the other resorts.

The staff were very generous and kind! We are vegan and their chef catered easily for us. They also just made the most heavenly dishes - their buffets (breakfast and dinner) are 10/10 the food was so good.

We can't rate it high enough - it was a surprise favourite stop for us on our trip! Very peaceful and just what we needed.

Schöne Unterkunft direkt am Strand.
