Pros:

Las cabañas estaban muy bien y muy limpias, la atención estupenda, solo que el bar no estaba abierto todo el rato para tomar algo, llamaban al cocinero si querías comer algo, pero por lo demás todo estupendo.

Beautiful Arugam bay, but for how long?
Pros:

Right on the beach ⛱️ No pool, but the owner is building one, so watch this space.
The ocean right on our door step It can be rough at times, but it was refreshing.
The villas are 3 star rating. The location 5 star rating The staff are lovely and can not do enough for you.
Restaraunt onboard at the Accomodation, and we had our first meal there, and it was good, but be aware when ordering cold drinks and make sure that the ice is bottled water ice .
Also, some salads we ordered were washed with local water, and this will cause stomach upset. we all ended up getting a 24-hour bug
This also happens with some restaurants in Arugam Bay, so ask before you order .
We did go out dining on the beach and also in the main street of Arugam Bay Town, and all the food was fantastic!

Cons:

Saddened to see rubbish left by tourists and locals on the beach after their gatherings and parties .
Would be great to see rubbish bins along the beaches .
Oh, on Sunday afternoons when locals come to visit Arugam bay in many buses down these tiny lane ways to swim at Arugam bay
So, if you want a quiet walk along the beach I suggest you go really early in the morning and avoid Sunday afternoons.

Helaas teleurgesteld
Pros:

De locatie is uiteraard prachtig. Je loopt je kamer uit naar de zee. De huisjes zien er van buiten erg mooi uit en zijn gezellig ingericht.

Cons:

De hygiëne was echt ondermaats. De koelkast lekte en stonk. De badkamer zat vol met enorme kalk aanslag en er kwam standaard een vieze geur uit de afvoer. Daarnaast was het afvoer putje niet schoongemaakt en lagen er heel veel haren en andere viezigheden. De handdoeken die voor het strand werden gegeven zagen eruit alsof ze 20 jaar oud waren. De badkamer handdoeken hadden ook een vreemde geur. Erg jammer voor een wat prijzigere accommodatie. Ook was het buiten wat vergane glorie vergeleken met de foto’s. Het heeft veel potentie maar helaas zijn wij niet helemaal tevreden met ons verblijf. Wij hadden zonder ontbijt geboekt en kregen aangeboden dit te doen wat erg duur was voor een schaars ontbijt. Ook de kussens voor de ligbedden waren buitensporig vies.

בקתות נהדרות למשפחות
Pros:

בקתות נחמדות ממש על חוף הים באיזור היותר רגוע של ארוגם ביי אבל עדיין במרחק הליכה מהכל.
מארחים נחמדים מאוד עזרו בכל מה שצריך. מזגן מעולה, מים חמים עם זרם טוב. אווירה טובה ובטוחה. סנאים וערסלים בחוץ
יש המון מסעדות וחנויות באזור

Cons:

יש מקום לשיפור בניקיון ובנראות של המקלחת.

Pros:

Adorei a localização junto à praia.

Cons:

Não é claramente um hotel de 5 estrelas e o booking deveria modificar isso. Preço um bocado elevado para a qualidade que apresentam. Quarto com bichos. O meu quarto não tinha frigorífico e não havia água de oferta (só depois de pedir é que deram e se não tivesse falado com o dono/rececionista ainda as pagava).

Au bord de l’eau
Pros:

Le logement est insolite (dans le bon sens du terme), il est bien équipé et propre. Il se situe littéralement aux pieds de la plage, vous êtes bercés par le bruit des vagues.

Cons:

Un membre du personnel en particulier. Un peu trop intrusif et tendancieux.

Décevant
Pros:

L’emplacement est incroyable, à l’écart des bars et restos bruyants,
les cabanes très joliment décorées
La mer est délicieuse et les vagues permettent de se baigner et s’amuser

Cons:

L’accueil pas aimable, sauf 1 personne qui essaie de racheter l’accueil froid
Le petit dej non compris
Absence de carte au resto: pas un seul repas pris sur place, prix approximativement donnés et chers. Petit dej à 2500lkr.
L’incompréhension d’une chambre familiale très chère, 2,5 x le prix d´1 double sans aucun intérêt supplémentaire
Le ménage très succinct
Douche devant les toilettes et absence de raclette donc on salit toute la cabane des qu’on prend une douche
