Stay Golden

Las cabañas están genial, la piscina, el ambiente, el restaurante y la playa enfrente!

Het zwembad, lieve personeel, heerlijk ontbijt en lunch. Fijne kamer en bedden. Surfles en safari kun je allemaal boeken via hotel.

Staff, the restaurant, pool the menagerie

I spend hours researching where to stay in Arugam Bay before coming - reading all reviews, checking pics etc etc. So let me save you the time!

My family stayed for 3 nights and returned for another night a few days later. Can’t recommend this place more;
- a short tuk tuk ride for small price to down means it js always quiet and perfect for families to chill in the evening away from parties (unlike place in town which was SO loud all night with music, fireworks nearby etc.
- pool is epic and kids played for hrs there
- food was great (chicken was really good quality also) and i recommend the guacamole with papadams for a yummy snack!
- staff and owners were so lovely and friendly, arranged transport, gave recommendations and welcomed us back the second time
- rooms had all the toiletries you need and were clean and cool with A/C. Kids particularly liked the family room with the double bunks the second stay so there were no fights for who got the top bunk! 🤣

Overall really think this is great! Thanks guys for having us (twice!)

Kind staff. Yummy food. Clean rooms. Pool. Sound healing and yoga classes onsite.

Hele fijne en schone cabanas, precies groot genoeg voor ons gezin (twee volwassenen en twee kinderen). Locatie is perfect: aan het strand en net buiten het (te) drukke gedeelte van Arugam Bay (met een Tuktuk ben je overal binnen 5-10 minuten). Kleinschalig en daardoor persoonlijk opgezet, wat wij erg fijn vinden. In het gemeenschappelijke (horeca) gedeelte hangt een hele fijne en ontspannen sfeer. De menukaart is uitstekend, we hebben daardoor meerdere keren gegeten en geluncht bij het hotel zelf. En last but not least: heel mooi en vooral groot zwembad! Onze kinderen vonden dit fantastisch.

Rustig, maar toch dichtbij het centrum. Ruime keuze op menukaart, lekker eten en sapjes. Wij vonden het zwembad een meerwaarde om af te koelen. Er is gedacht aan details, zoals een strandtas met handdoeken, een extra vergrootspiegel in de badkamer, een kom water aan de ingang van de kamer om het zand van je voeten af te wassen en stopcontacten met Europese stekker. Wij hebben de safari in Kumana gedaan, boottocht in mangrove (vonden we minder interessant) en surfen via accomodatie.

Stay Golden was excellent!! The rooms are spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. We were in a bungalow which felt very private, and we enjoyed the use of our own hammock and swing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant had an extensive menu and everything was yum. An easy walk into town, or the staff could organise a TukTuk and the property is right on the beach (although not a swimming beach). A laundry service was available for a small fee. Pool and beach towels were provided and changed daily. We loved our stay here and would definitely choose Stay Golden again.

The POOL the fact that it was away from the crowd and noise and amazing atmosphere where you get to meet other guests and the owner.

This is a beautiful place to stay in a quiet part of town.
Everything you need is here and the staff are very accommodating. By far the cleanest place I’d stayed and best facilities in Sri Lanka.
Not far to get to the main part of town and they have bikes, surfboards and onsite yoga classes.

This property is absolutely amazing! The rooms are clean, big, and I love that there are hammocks with the rooms. The food on site was delicious. We ate there every morning and lunch time. It’s reasonably priced and the staff was so attentive and took very good care of us. The pool was huge and the kids played it in everyday after surfing. It’s about 15 min walk to downtown and a short tuktuk ride if you don’t want to walk. Just so you know you can NOT swim in the ocean. The waves are huge and the current very strong. We surfed at other locations and came back to swim in pool so it wasn’t a big deal for us but for others it might be. Thank you for an amazing stay and I wish to return one day.
