Geweldig!
Pros:

Uiterst vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Prachtige kamer en het uitzicht is adembenemend midden op het strand tussen de palmbomen. We hebben lekker gegeten en konden zelfs al onze kleren wassen.

Exceptional stay
Pros:

What can I say about this place other than WOW. We loved our stay here so much, everything was perfect. We were greeted warmly with a refreshing welcome drink and explained everything about how the resort works and what activities are on offer. The room was simple but rustic and beautiful. Although there is no AC they provide enough fans for it to be comfortable and there is a lovely sea breeze also. There are so many lovely little places to hang out and chill, from cabanas to bean bags, deck chairs and hammocks, all amongst the sand and palm trees with the sound of the ocean. The service was beyond 5 star, you simply WhatsApp anything you would like, ordering drinks to wherever you are around the resort. Breakfast was delicious and they have a variety of Italian dishes for lunch and dinner. They even offer a free laundry service and carry your bags on arrival and departure. The staff are absolutely brilliant always keeping the site clean and greeting you with such friendliness. I can’t believe how little we paid for such a beautiful resort with incredible service!

Cons:

There was not one thing I disliked about this place- don’t hesitate to book!

We enjoyed our stay- nice location. Sourced our own surf lessons easily from closeby. Great views of beach and sea
Pros:

Not many rooms so felt spacious. Covered couches overlooking beach Great views particularly from upper level of cabanas. Great service from staff
Close to good surfing area- within 15min walk to surf schools and rentals

Cons:

Shame you can’t swim in the sea as too rough. Could do with having a swimming pool to compensate.
Charges for activities you would normally expect to be included in a high end resort- eg use of outdoor gym floor with weights
Nice to hear sea with windows open at night but spoiled by loud music from bar next door until early hours.

Paradise
Pros:

Imagine: you wake up hearing the waves and birds; you open the 'window' of your cabin and see palm trees, the sun and the beach. Then you enjoy a fresh fruit salad and an iced latte, while petting the cute dogs of the owner. During the day you take a surf lesson, yoga class, go to the gym or simply chill on the beach. Whenever you need anything, the staff are ready to help you out. Then you go out for dinner/drinks in the lively town of Arugam Bay, which is +-15 minutes away. And when you come back, regardless of the time, the security guard welcomes you back with a bottle of ice cold water for the night.

This is the best place I have ever been to. If we could have, we would have stayed much longer.

Cons:

Nothing.

Tolle Anlage mit sehr freundlichem Personal!!
Pros:

Eine super großzügige und gepflegte Anlage fern vom Trubel. Die Cabanas waren einfach eingerichtet, aber hatten einen besonderen Flair.

Cons:

Klimatisierung nur mit Deckenventilator (geht natürlich auch nicht anders)

Jederzeit wieder in einem unglaublich schönen Resort
Pros:

Die Lage des Resorts ist einmalig! Man fühlt sich rundum sehr wohl und ist komplett abgeschottet von Touristen. Die Kabinen sind super sauber, das Essen wirklich auch vorzüglich. Das Personal organisiert alles für dich, wenn du möchtest. Wir würden es jedem ans Herz legen, hier Stop zu machen!

Cons:

Es kann nachts zu Schüssen kommen, weil Elefanten in der Nähe sein könnten.

Paraíso de relax
Pros:

Es precioso, está bien cuidado, es muy cómodo y el servicio es muy bueno. Detalles como tener servicio de restaurante en cualquier zona donde te encuentres del resort es muy conveniente. También tener un grifo en la entrada de las cabanas ayuda a mantener los pies limpios de arena.

Que visualmente todo encaje (estilo, colores etc) a mi personalmente me genera paz y placer a la vista

Del desayuno, lo que más nos gustó fue los vegetales asados con huevos y pan (muy rico). También pedimos pizzas en dos ocasiones y están buenas, además salen muy rápido. Tener agua ilimitada y fría es otro punto a favor.

La zona de entrenar es conveniente si quieres hacer un poco de ejercicio. Tienen varias mancuernas, kettlebells, elásticos , cajon, esterillas etc

En general nos encantó y estuvimos súper a gusto. Es el mejor alojamiento del viaje.

Cons:

Lo único que fue un poco molesto es el hecho de escuchar los pasos de los vecinos de arriba cuando estás en la cabaña de abajo. Es algo que no pensamos, pero ahí teníamos vecinos que se despertaban a las 6 para surfear y durante 10 o 15 min te despiertan con sus pasos desde arriba. También por la noche si queríamos dormir temprano y los vecinos no, escuchábamos todos sus movimientos arriba (pasos, el móvil cayendo al suelo , haciendo la maleta …) No fue un grandísimo problema porque no escuchábamos algo constante, solo puntual, pero es algo molesto si vas a descansar. Si tienes el sueño ligero mejor quedarte en la cabana de arriba.

Pros:

Lo bonitas que son las casas para alojarse, nuevas y limpias. La amabilidad de los trabajadores

Cons:

La playa donde está tiene olas demasiado fuertes para bañarse y está muy alejado de todo. Los precios son más caros que otro sitio de la zona, tanto como de surf como de comida

A peaceful and beautiful escape!
Pros:

If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful place to stay away from busy Arugam Bay, this is the place for you!

The cabins were lovely, cozy and thoughtfully designed. You can really tell that they’ve paid attention to all the little details. The whole property is beautifully maintained, with plenty of comfortable spots to sit, relax and just chill.

The restaurant serves amazing Italian food 😍 and the yoga center is wonderful, well equipped and has a beautiful view of the ocean.

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every single moment. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. And even after we checked out, they went out of their way to help us with our onward journey, which we really appreciated.

Highly recommended!

Cons:

Nothing

Le paradis tout proche d’Arugam Bay !
Pros:

Le lieu est vraiment magique : les pagodes sont faces à la mer, on se réveille les pieds dans le sable. La salle de bain commune est vraiment aux pieds des pagodes et ne sont partagées qu’entre 4 chambres, donc ce n’est vraiment pas dérangeant.
L’accueil était parfait, le manager (celui qui nous a accueilli le premier jour) et les propriétaires étaient vraiment aux petits soins !
Véritable service digne du standing du lieu, avec un room service toute la journée.
Il y a un spot de surf à seulement quelques minutes à pieds, même si cette plage est bien moins animée qu’Arugam.
Allez-y les yeux fermés !

Cons:

Malheureusement, la nourriture (sauf les pizzas) ne sont vraiment pas à la hauteur, surtout vu le prix très très élevé. C’est dommage, car vu la beauté du lieu, on a envie de rester manger là!
Nous avons également eu une expérience mitigée avec un membre du personnel qui nous livrait la nourriture et qui n’était pas très aimable (nous avions l’impression de le déranger quand nous lui demandions quelque chose ou que nous lui faisons remarquer que ce qu’il nous avait apporté n’était pas ce qu’on avait commandé!)

Soggiorno da sogno
Pros:

Il soggiorno al whiskey point resort ha coronato in maniera eccellente il nostro viaggio in Sri lanka. Abbiamo sperimentato la formula 'glamping' e l' esperienza si é rivelata strepitosa (oltre che comfortevole). Il resort é distante dal caos di Arugam bay ma calato in un paradiso terrestre vicinissimo ad uno dei punti piu quotati per surfare e perfetto per chi é in cerca di pace e relax. Il calore dei proprietari Nicola ed Anna rendono l'ambiente accogliente e familiare, e l intera struttura gode di ottima pulizia e servizi grazie anche al lavoro dello staff sempre pronto a soddisfare ogni richiesta.
Ottima cucina italiana e la pizza più buona dell'isola.
Sicuramente un posto in cui torneremmo volentieri.

Exceptionnel et magnifique !!!
Pros:

Les pagodes situées au milieu des palmiers et en bord de mer offre un cadre idyllique. Peu de chambres et une plage pour nous seuls. Magnifique vue. Le personnel, professionnel et chaleureux. La cuisine italienne et les pizzas napolitaine dans un four à bois sont excellentes ! Être réveillé par les bruits de la nature et le soleil donne à cet endroit toute sa particularité. Sans compter les éléphants qui passent à proximité.

Cons:

Rien

À Faire absolument
Pros:

Établissement très bien tenu et propre, le personnel nettoie vos chambres tous les jours, un vrai luxe.
Le cadre, les logements soignés, élégant, la vue sur la mer est un spectacle, la restauration en service continue de 8 à 22h est excellente, le personnel est très agréable, il y a des équipements pour s’amuser. C’est un lieu de détente, au calme. Il y a une petite plage de surfeurs à 10 minutes à pied par la mer qu’il faut aller voir, l’ambiance est très sympa et vous pouvez prendre des leçons de surf sans l’agitation d’arugam bay.

Cons:

Le wifi pas efficace mais comme la majorité des hôtels au Sri Lanka
