Rundum Perfekt
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist perfekt in jeder Hinsicht. Das beste Curry was wir in Sri Lanka hatten. Man kann viel unternehmen, auf Wunsch wird auch alles organisiert. Er hat uns am Abend mit seinem TukTuk Krokodile gezeigt und sonst haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß, auch bei dem Surfkurs. Ein gute Spot für Anfänger. Das Kartenspiel, dass er uns gelernt hat hat wirklich Spaß gemacht!

Cons:

Alle war super

It was a beautiful, peaceful stay. Looked after by wondeful people.
Pros:

Coming to De Perla felt like coming home. Faruk who manages the property is very accommodating and sweet! Plus he will make you fantastic meals. All fresh ingredients and you can request anything you want. As a solo traveller, I felt very safe and cared for. They can arrange everything for you including taxis into town, surfing and other sight seeing opportunities. You are a two minute walk from the beach and the town is quiet and peaceful. This is truly a hidden gem.

Cons:

Nothing

Small, peaceful and friendly, family run resort
Pros:

We were a family of 5 and rented 2 air conditioned chalets. The rooms were spacious and clean. We had everything we needed and it’s a very quiet location. Breakfast and dinner were excellent and the friendly family running the accommodation helped us arrange transport and surfboards. It’s only a few minutes walk to the beach. Surfing is at Potuvil Point so we got a lift to the end if the road and it’s a short walk to the break.

Cons:

Nothing, we had a great time and would happily go back. It was a pleasant escape form the hustle and bustle of A-Bay.

Great location and amazing people
Pros:

The owner, the dad and the son are amazing and very accommodating. The food cooked by the dad is really good and these guys are always smiling. Go there, it’s pretty simple but that’s all you need to enjoy the area.

Pros:

Dałabym ocenę 11, gdyby można było. Pobyt był cudowny. W domku jest wszystko, co potrzebne. Jedzenie, które przygotowuje Farook, jest wyśmienite. Właściciele wspaniali, zarówno syn Siyat, jak i ojciec Farook. Byli bardzo pomocni, spełniali nasze prośby. Farook jest cudownym człowiekiem, za którym tęsknimy i dziękujemy mu za niesamowity tydzień.

Cons:

Woda w prysznicu była chłodna.

Pros:

Very Calm and Quiet as this is located from about 8 km away from the busy Arugambay Tourist area. Air-condition worked really well. Breakfast is tasty and good-size portions. Caretaker / Owner, Farook uncle is a really nice and helpful person.

Compared to Arugambay main point, the Whisky Point is less crowded and cleaner surrounding. Whisky Point is about 10-15 minutes' walk along the beach from this place.

Cons:

Nothing such. But, I would have preferred a table and a cupboard in the room to keep the bags and arrange clothes especially if staying for bit longer.

Other thing is water pressure in the shower. It would have been great, if the water pressure was more.

If above two things were there, I would have given 10/10 score for my stay.

Pros:

Posto molto semplice ma a due passi da una bellissima spiaggia con poche ma belle strutture. Molto pulito e i padroni di casa ci tengono molto. Infine la cucina è molto buona e davvero fatta al momento.

Если вы любители деревни и хотите побывать в детстве, то вам сюда
Pros:

Классный дедушка Фарук- владелец домиков, он был действительно для нас как свой дедушка: заботился, всегда предлагал помощь, отвозил на тук-туке куда было нужно и приезжал за нами по звонку… Спасибо, уважаемый дедушка Фарук, вы чудесный человек с большим добрым сердцем! И расположение домиков тоже классное возле безлюдного пляжа Виски Поинт в деревне, где так прекрасно и уютно можно провести время вдали от шумного Аругамбея…

И еще на заметку, дедушка Фарук очень вкусно готовит; очень вкусный нудельс с креветками или с туной 🥰
