Front de mer, personnel adorable !
Pros:

Hôtel en front de mer ! Nous avons pu aller à notre cours de surf à pied en longeant l’océan (15min). Avoir son propre bungalow est chouette, ils sont plutôt spacieux.
Le petit déjeuné est super !! Le meilleur de notre séjour !
La piscine est bien entretenue !
Le personnel est extrêmement gentil ! J’avais oublié ma gourde filtrante en partant et ils m’ont envoyé un message pour me prévenir et me l’ont apporté en scooter, adorable !!

Cons:

Il n’y avait pas de moustiquaire, heureusement qu’on avait la nôtre.

Pros:

pool, breakfast, hammock
The staff is incredibly pleasant, courteous, service-oriented, and nice; in fact, the successful stay is thanks to them.

Cons:

The room lacks essential furniture, such as nightstands and a wardrobe, and the lighting is unpleasant. With a little thoughtful effort, the rooms could be made very comfortable and pleasant to stay in. The beach area is cluttered with a hodgepodge of dilapidated chairs and lacks proper sun loungers or comfortable seating; it is merely a remnant of what used to be.

Pros:

Beautiful, calm and very comfortable. The staff are so lovely and wow the food!!!! A great place to relax away from the hustle of Arugam bay, spot elephants along the road and go for surf lessons.

Pros:

Die Lage war toll, das Personal unglaublich freundlich und nett. Das Essen hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt und wir haben die Zurückgezogenheit genossen.

Cons:

רחוק מאוד מארוגום ביי. מתאים רק למי שרוצה להתבודד.
Pros:

ארוחת הבוקר היה נחמדה וטוב שכך כי אין מסעדות אחרות באזור. אך גם זה לא פיצה על הקושי העיקרי שהיה המיקום והחוף הנטוש והרוחות החזקות שלא אפשרו להנות ממנו.

Cons:

הזמנו מלון בארוגום ביי וקיבלנו מלון מבודד חצי שעה נסיעה מארוגום ביי ולעיתים אפילו היינו צריכים להמתין יותר מחצי שעה רק שנהג מונית/טוקטוק יגיע מארוגום ביי אל המלון ואז עוד חצי שעה נסיעה - סה"כ שעה נסיעה כדי להגיע למסעדה הקרובה או לחוף בו הילדים לקחו שיעורי גלישה. הרוח החזקה רוב שעות היום (סוף אוגוסט) גרמה לכך שגם טיול לאורך החוף היה לא אפשרי, בטח ובטח גם לא כניסה למים הסוערים. למרות שראינו עוד מבקרים, האווירה במלון ובסביבתו היה של מקום נטוש ולא מתוחזק. הזמנו לארבעה לילות והצלחנו להשאר רק יומיים ואז עזבנו ולקחנו מלון אחר שבאמת נמצא בארוגום ביי.

Wir haben uns mit dem Gesamtpaket sehr wohlgefühlt.
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist absolut ruhig gelegen. Bestens geeignet für Gäste, die Ruhe und Privatheit abseits vom trubeligen Arugam Bay suchen. Sie liegt direkt am Strand mit einem herrlichen Pool. Das Personal war superfreundlich und hilfsbereit und hat uns jeden Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen. Das Essen im zugehörigen Restaurant ist fantastisch, das Frühstück frisch, reichhaltig und abwechslungsreich. Der Surfspot direkt vor der Anlage existiert leider nicht mehr, aber zum nahegelegenen Sport Potuvil sind es nur 2 Minuten mit dem TukTuk oder 10 Minuten zu Fuss.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind sehr einfach und qualifizieren sich jetzt nicht für einen Style-Award. Aber alles ist sehr sauber.

Pros:

Second séjour dans cet hôtel, et toujours le même enchantement. Le personnel est hyper gentil, merci à vous tous. L'emplacement est génial. Cette année le spot de surf de pottuvil fonctionnait très bien. Les repas proposés sont très bons. Bref j'espère pouvoir revenir une 3eme fois.

Cons:

Il est vrai que l'extérieur nécessiterait une remise en état.

Non vale i soldi pagati
Pros:

Posizione tranquilla sul mare e la colazione.

Cons:

La pulizia delle camere è terribile: ci sono insetti ovunque e pulci nel materasso. Le lenzuola erano sporche e ho trovato delle macchie di sangue. Il pavimento della camera è rotto, il bagno ha il wc sporco e tutto è molto vecchio. Ho dovuto pulire personalmente le due stanze che avevo prenotato per trascorrere quattro notti. Nonostante avessi richiesto di poter lasciare l'hotel e ottenere un rimborso.

La struttura è trascurata e molti servizi non funzionano. Si vede che manca una persona di riferimento che si occupi degli ospiti e della manutenzione dell'hotel, nelle aree comuni ci sono molte cose rotte e oggetti abbondanti. Il prezzo che si paga non è assolutamente adeguato e le foto pubblicate non corrispondono alla realtà.

Se volete trascorrere un soggiorno in un posto con un livello di pulizia insufficiente, non optate per questo hotel! State attenti perché, se prenotate e pagate, non verrete rimborsati.

Pros:

Le proximité de l’océan et spot de surf ainsi que le calme de l’emplacement !
Le bruit des vagues tout au long de la journée
Le personnel aux petits soins ! Kimi et son équipe sont supers !! Nous avons passé 12 nuits et pas de regret sur l’humanité de l’équipe !! Merci

Cons:

Bungalow et hôtel sommaire. Les photos Booking sont améliorées par l IA, c’est dommage.
Manque de rangement dans les chambres.
Je trouve vraiment dommage que cet hôtel ne soit pas entretenu par le propriétaire. Salle extérieure non exploitée, coussins de transat non remplacés, manque d entretien dans les lieux communs.
Pas de brise vue autour de l hôtel (contrairement aux photos).

Lovely location for Whiskey Point beach surfing
Pros:

The pool was lovely and it was right next to Whiskey Point beach which was beautiful with massive waves. The staff were really friendly and good with the kids and went over and above to help us. The air con in the rooms was great.

Cons:

It was quite far away from Arugam Bay which was not a problem for us as we had a driver, there weren’t any other options for places to eat in walking distance but the restaurant food was good. A fridge in the room would have been nice so we could cool water and drinks etc. The whole resort is quite run down and could be tidied up, it does not look the the photos anymore.

Oké hotel voor rustzoekers
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel

Cons:

Een relatief duur hotel voor Sri Lanka. Je mag hier wat luxe voor verwachten, maar totaal geen luxe! De houten ligbedden vielen bijna uit elkaar er lagen geen matrassen op.

Paradisiaque. On recommande +++
Pros:

Hôtel sur la plage. Un decor de paradis, un personnel extraordinairement sympa et aux petits soins, des repas faits maison succulents. On a adoré cet endroit. A 3 mn de marche sur la plage de Whisky Point et 15 mn de marche sur la plage pour super spot de surf.

Amazing!
Pros:

My most rewarding experience here was the absolutely amazing sunrise. It was just a one minute walk from our room. The beach and pool were both clean. The food was great, they were able to deliver to utmost satisfaction. The rooms were cooled well when we arrived and it was rewarding after a long drive to get there. they communicated on our way on the changed check-in times. It was my first time in Arugambay, and if I visit again, I would stay here again.

Cons:

The access to the location from the main road was a bit difficult. So its better to get instructions from them.

Pros:

De personeelsleden waren fantastisch, ze hebben er echt voor gezorgd dat wij ontzettend genoten hebben. Elke dag serveerden zij een fantastisch, divers ontbijt. Elke avond hebben wij bij het resort gegeten, grote porties en heerlijk eten. Ga zo door mannen!
