Good hotel for the area but isn’t in town and doesn’t quite have the vibe you think it does in the pics
Pros:

The set up and the lay out of the report and amazing staff including Jahan on the front desk who will do anything to help

Cons:

It’s called a surf hotel but no one knows anything about the surf!

Wunderbarer Platz für ruhesuchende Genießer.
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, sind immer auf unsere Extrawünsche eingegangen ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne Cabana mit herrlichem Ausblick. Trotz off-season wurden alle Leistungen angeboten. Die Eco Bauweise des gesamten Komplexes ist phänomenal.

Fantastisch plek met heerlijk zwembad!
Pros:

Fantastische plek! Helemaal in de watten gelegd. Bij aankomst wordt alles uit handen genomen. De ronde slaaphuisjes zijn super. We reizen met 2 meiden en die hadden allebei hun eigen bed. Het zwembad is heerlijk en eten lekker! Personeel onwijs hulpvaardig en sportief. Een groot ontspannen vakantie feest!

Cons:

Locatie was wat afgelegen. Je hoeft ook niet echt weg. Maar omdat wij in off season zaten (zee is dan niet begaanbaar en wat regen dagen) wilde wij wel wat doen. Maar met tuk tuk ben je zo in Arugam Bay!

Relaxing break but a bit disappointing
Pros:

A lovely view from the terrace and from the beautiful clean pool.
Staff were super helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Actual cabanas are looking a bit tired and weather beaten. Could see daylight from under the closed entrance door.
Cigarette ends & bottle tops noted on grass immediately infront of our cabana terrace. Guessing from previous occupants of our cabana as we used an ashtray!
Location, although lovely beach & sea views, it is isolated having to drive thro a maze of back alleyways to get anywhere. Not somewhere you can go exploring from.
Seems little communication on information provided- Although hotel asked about food intolerances, it being noted on check-in and mentioned at mealtimes that my husband cannot eat fresh tomatoes there was grilled tomato on his breakfast both morning (even spoke to chef after 1st time).

Perfekt zum Relaxen,....
Pros:

Das Jetwing ist perfekt um sich nach der Rundreise zu erholen. Die Lage ist wie beschrieben etwas abseits, es steht aber ein kostenloser Shuttle nach Arugam Bay zur Verfügung. Die Cabanas sind liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr geräumig, wenn auch schon etwas abgewohnt. Das Badezimmer ist schön und groß. Der Poolbereich ist klein, aber fein, dort kann es schon mal eng werden. Das Essen ist unserer Meinung nach ausgezeichnet, der Service im Restaurant manchmal etwas träge.
Sicher eines der schönsten Hotels an der Ostküste, Preis unserer Ansicht nach etwas zu hoch (hängt aber von der Saison ab). Wer Ruhe sucht, ist dort richtig,.....
