Pros:

Le staff était GÉNIAL, attentionné et toujours là pour aider.
La nourriture était délicieuse avec des plats sri lankais à la carte.

Cons:

Il y avait des travaux la journée et des 8h du matin donc pas de grasse matinée mais c’était temporaire tant que c’est pour améliorer le comfort des clients.
Dommage que la plage soit aussi pollué mais ce n’est pas de leur fait…

We had two reservations there as we were a large group and my detailed review is on the other one. I’ll reiterate - what a perfect spot and what wonderful service.

We’d definitely go again , we recommend this to everyone !
Pros:

If you are visiting Arugam Bay and want a quiet paradise almost all to yourselves , this is your spot. We loved that it was away from the crowded part of town, spacious , and we had many parts of the beach and waters to explore. Right by the best surf areas. The beach is right there , a few steps away from the rooms. The staff an exceedingly helpful and hard working. They cooked delicious meals and very very flexible about our requests , and prices were very reasonable. We got to have meals served by the beach made just for us , at the prices of what a low- priced restaurant in town would have cost use.

Cons:

There is one feature in some of the doubles rooms you should be aware of : the bathroom is a half walled area. Not a huge problem and others note in the reviews. And also note the area outside the property is near some religious buildings, so modest clothing is best for walking to town from the property ( if you are not travel long by vehicle ).

Baden und Ruhe nahe Arugam Bay
Pros:

Liegt abgelegen in Pottuvil, fußläufig nichts in der Nähe. "Eigene" Bucht, in der die heftige Brandung sich ausläuft, d.h. man kann problemlos baden. Wir waren dort in der Off- season im Februar und hatten dort Tage herrlicher Ruhe. Gutes Essen, sehr gute Bungalows. Korrekte Buchführung und Rechnung. Moskitonetz. Freundlicher und fähiger Chef.

Cons:

Jede Nacht Gebetsrufe einer oder mehrerer Moscheen ca. 5 Uhr morgens. Eine Nacht laute Partymusik von weit entferntem Hotel.

Delightful place to stay. Great food and service.
Pros:

Really enjoyed our stay here. Relaxing and very pleasant. Food excellent. Cabins are comfortable and have everything you need. All the staff, especially Rinos, are so accommodating and helpful. Highly recommend.

Cons:

The sea was a bit daunting to swim in, wavy and forceful currents…fine if you keep to shallow waters.

Pros:

Die Hütten liegen an einem kilometerlangen einsamen Sandstrand, an dem leider recht viel Müll angespühlt wird. Die Unterkünfte liegen im Schatten unter Bäumen und haben alle Meerblick. Die Essenspreise sind moderat und das Personal sehr aufmerksam.

Cons:

Der Müll am Strand, dafür können die Betreiber der Unterkunft aber nichts.

Lovely property
Pros:

We went there for my birthday. They decorated the room, which was a sweet gesture. They had arranged a cake (we paid for it). Very thoughtful! :)

The location is stunning, almost as though it is a private beach. Very clean.

Cons:

The bathroom should have a door; it would make it better.

Relaxing stay, right on the beach. A perfect break
Pros:

We loved our stay at Blue Waters. It's lovely and quiet, right on the sandy beach which feels like you have it to yourselves, away from the busyness of Arugam Bay, but easy to get everywhere by tuk tuk. Rinos and his staff team were so friendly and welcoming and helped us with transport, tours, as well as providing simple, delicious food and great service. The cabanas are very cute, have AC, are basic but clean and comfortable. Very happy with everything and would come again.

Cons:

We liked everything.

Perfect
Pros:

Hidden gem! Blue waters made our stay in Arugam Bay! Pottuvil is a perfect location so tranquil and peaceful. We even extended an extra day than planned.

The staff are so friendly, they can’t do enough for you. We had a couple of issues that they literally went above and beyond to assist us with - we were so grateful.

If we are ever in Arugam Bay again this is where we would stay without hesitation - Istuti
