Amazing, friendly & perfect location for all types of activity
Pros:

One of the best and luxurious places to stay in arugam bay. Very friendly owner and always fast with response. Close to the beach and also to the city. Lots of restuarant sa and food stalls around. Feels like living in the jungle at the beach. Would highly recommend staying here. Also perfect for couples. Or friends of pairs.

Cons:

There very little not to like about Rivinu place. The payday could maybe be a little stronger but worked perfect haha.

מומלץ מאוד
Pros:

אהבנו הכל במקום! החדרים מאוד נוחים, מיטות טובות, מזגן מקפיא, מיקום אחלה ובעיקר מאוד מטופח ויפה.

Cons:

לא ידענו שיש מטבח משותף! היה לנו חסר מקרר למים ורק ביום האחרון גילינו אז התבאסנו אבל אם היינו יודעים המקום היה מקבל 10

Cosy room, perfect location
Pros:

Location is perfect, it’s just 5min walk from the Baby Surf spot, Main point is 7min walk from the hotel.

Room was clean and air-conditioned. We really enjoyed the terrasse from which we could enjoy the garden.

We also stayed extra two nights and the host arranged it with no issue.

Cons:

There’s no breakfast served at the hotel but there’s a small kitchen outside. It is quite well equipped but unfortunately some guests do not clean after themselves
