The Cove Pasikuda - Eco Resort

“Eco-friendly really does mean Eco-freiend but the included adventure MORE than makes up for it”

We booked this place as a stop on our way north from Arugam Bay; an eco village with a big hut for two families seemed ideal. The description didn’t make clear that all beds were in the same room and there were no fans or A/C. The host was easy to work with and let us move into a hut with separate bedrooms and A/C. The real highlight was a post‑breakfast eco adventure: a tractor‑pulled cart to the beach, swimming in the Bay of Bengal, picking pippies in the sand, and helping local fishermen haul in their nets. That made the basic accommodation worthwhile. I’d probably stay again, mainly for the adventure. A more upfront description of the room would help: no fans, no A/C in the main hut, all beds in one room. Showers were cold, and the Wi‑Fi was at best intermittent (just a 4G repeater).

They provided several free activities, which was very generous, and the food was delicious.

Breakfast was good, and the location was convenient.

“Da evitare a tutti i costi”

The photos and description were completely misleading. The place feels utterly desolate and bleak, far from the beach that you can only reach by tuk‑tuk, which is hard to arrange because there’s nothing nearby to call for one. Reception was poorly welcoming, and the staff struggled to give us clear information about the property. The “pool” was indescribable: a dirty basin that we never dared to try. The room matched the pictures, but it was saturated with insecticide odor to the point that staying inside felt almost impossible. When we arrived, we were told the chef was ill, so only a couple of dinner options were available. Wi‑Fi was nonexistent; only after request did they hand us a router that never worked. After barely managing one of the three nights we booked, we left, and the staff promised us a refund for the two unused nights. That refund never arrived.

“Perfecto”

They were incredibly friendly. We were greeted with a welcome juice. We requested an early breakfast and dinner, and the service was excellent. The room was very clean, spacious, and lovely. Our stay was perfect; if we could, we would have stayed longer.
