В таком состоянии и при таком управлении отель сильно переоценён.
Pros:

Пожалуй единственный плюс этого отеля в его месторасположении.

Cons:

Отель требует капитального ремонта.
Перила на этажах с торчащими гвоздями и выпадающими рейками ограждения.
Номера старые, дверь в ванную закрывается с трудом, матрасы отвратительные, пружины уже не выполняют свою функцию, постельное белье местами стёрто до дыр, свет в номере и на этаже тусклый, светильники забиты мошками (скорее всего с момента установки светильники не открывались и не протирались). За 4 дня уборки не было. При заселении в ванную положили один кусочек мыла и по одному тюбику геля для душа и шампуня и больше не пополняли. При выезде спросили про уборку - оказывается ее нужно было просить. Табличек на дверь об уборке или не беспокоить не было.
Персонал кроме охранников на въезде и на пляже безразличный.
Мы бронировали два номера - в одном не было сейфа, в другом внутреннего телефона.
Бассейн большой, глубокий, но очень хлорированный. Ребёнок два раза умудрялся порезаться об отколовшуюся плитку на бортике бассейна.
В высокий сезон лежаков на пляже всем может не хватить. Видели как гости, подошедшие на пляж немного позже были вынуждены уходить с пляжа и размещаться возле бассейна. Около бассейна лежаки без зонтов, до обеда от солнца не спрятаться.
Пляж хороший, но из-за расположенного при отеле центра водных видов спорта приходилось немного отходить влево, чтобы плавать спокойно. Эта часть океана мелкая - до буйков можно дойти пешком.
Питание брали завтраки. Был шведский стол. Ну это одно название! Завтраки плохие, не вкусные. В один из дней фрукты были порезаны ножом, которым резали что-то типа лука. Есть было не возможно. Много выпечки, но даже и она была не вкусная. Чай и кофе из пакетиков - завариваешь сам, чайник с кипятком грязный от накипи. Бар при отеле закрыт. Ресторан на ужин работает только для шведского стола. Если захочется перекусить днём или поужинать по меню, такую возможность отель не предоставляет.

Fuyez cet établissement si vous ne voulez pas gâcher votre séjour à Passikudah
Pros:

- Les transats mis à disposition sur la manifique plage de Passikudah
C'est vraiment peu car tout le reste ne va pas !

Cons:

- Le personnel malgré sa bonne volonté n'est pas du tout formé
- Enorme CAFARD dans la sdb à notre arrivée, rien ne marche dans les chambres.
- L'hôtel semble complètement laissé à l'abandon, rien ne marche normalement
- La restauration est catastrophique ( petit déjeuner pas frais )

Favolosa, attenzione al pagamento notti.
Pros:

Tutto molto curato. Ottima colazione e vista oceano. Silenzio e pace

Cons:

Mi hanno addebitato 1 notte in più e sto aspettando che mi rendano i soldi pagati in più.
Spero arrivino. Anche booking ha fatto troppe storie e procedure assurde con tasti per allegare documenti che poi non si riesce ad allegare.

relaxing family holiday with the sandy beach with beach sports
Pros:

Recently visited this hotel , basically I booked the Passivilla however the GM has graciously transferred us to Marina beach hotel due to the sandy beach facilities . The room sizes were big and the toilets are vey clean .All the staffs are very friendly .we had some lovely time at the beach with beach sports . I have to give a huge thanks to GM Janaka for his warm welcoming and hospitality . Lovely pool and the view was stunning . The food was average may be its a off season . I'll definitely recommend this hotel for a relaxing stay

Way overpriced for what you get
Pros:

The beach is right behind the hotel and you can use the sunbeds for free and also get fresh towels for these.
The rooms look like on the photos.

Cons:

1. The breakfast is buffet style but not even close to what is advertised in the photos. If you book half-board, you can choose between 3 options (no buffet). The options consist of a vegetarian meal (which was plaon pasta with ketchup) and a chicken or searood option (which comes with mashed or unseasoned roast potatoes and some plain vegetables in our case carrot and green beans or cabbage - see the pictures). It is a 5-course meal on paper though.

2. The service is quite bad. We usually had to ask them to be served at the meals. The communication in English was also quite difficult.

3. The sheets on the bed where dirty when we arrived with dark patches and hair. Also there was visible dust on the floor. The bathroom does not have a proper window. Maybe that is the readon why we saw cockroaches on every night or the cleanliness overall.

4. speaking of animals: It appeared that tjey only sold the rooms in the top floor. But under the roof birds are living and breeding which was really noisy during the day. Maybe it was also the birds that kept us up at night or even other animals but we can‘t be sure of that. The ceiling has definetely no noise insulation.

In conclusion:
From our personal point of view this hotel should not deserve 4 stars. It was our most expensive accomodation in Sri Lanka with the worst overall performance.

Good place
Pros:

We had a lovely stay at Marina Beach Passikudah. The staff were incredibly kind and always ready to help — they even spent time playing with the children, which made the experience extra special for our family.

The breakfasts were tasty, though a bit repetitive — still, we enjoyed them every morning. The beach is just steps away from the hotel and perfect for swimming and relaxing.

Our room was comfortable and clean — nothing too fancy, but it had everything we needed for a pleasant stay.

Overall, a great place for a relaxing vacation, especially if you're traveling with kids. We'd be happy to come back!

Very good Sujan
😍thank you so much

A fantastic beachfront hotel in Pasikuda with spacious rooms, exciting water sports, and a huge pool
Pros:

I recently stayed in this hotel in Pasikuda, Sri Lanka, which is beautifully located on a clean beach with gentle waves during this season. (September 2024) The hotel rooms were modern and spacious, providing a comfortable stay. They also have a dedicated water sports section that offered exciting Jet Ski rides and a snorkeling trip to the nearby "Kayankerni" Coral Reef for a reasonable additional cost. Snorkeling was an amazing first-time experience for both my wife and me, and it was impressive that even some 5-star hotels do not have a water sports center like this one.

The hotel features a large swimming pool with a depth of 9 feet at one end, perfect for a refreshing swim. The location is ideal, with no stones or corals that could hurt your feet while enjoying the beach.

Although the hotel manager was not present during our visit, we were warmly greeted by the manager from their sister hotel, who made us feel welcome.

Cons:

Due to the trees near the pool, fallen leaves frequently make the pool dirty. It would be great if the management could consider installing a net cover to prevent this.
