Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Arugambay Roccos for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The highlight of my experience was the incredible hospitality of the staff, who were always caring, attentive, and genuinely concerned about ensuring that we comfortable and happy throughout our stay. Their warmth and friendliness made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing the perfect place to relax after a day out in Arugam Bay. We also loved spending time by the pool, which was well-kept and offered a great space to unwind and enjoy the resort’s peaceful atmosphere. Thank you to the entire Roccos team for making my visit such a memorable and enjoyable one. Highly recommended

An unforgettable stay with breathtaking views and outstanding service.

We had a wonderful stay at Rocco's in Arugam Bay. The views are absolutely stunning, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The pool was refreshing and beautifully maintained, making it a great place to unwind after a day in the sun.

What truly made our stay special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Their genuine hospitality made us feel right at home.

Warm, hospitable and memorable.
Pros:

My stay at Arugambay Roccos Resort was truly memorable, thanks to its excellent location and the exceptional hospitality of the staff. Every team member was warm, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to make guests feel comfortable. The resort’s relaxed atmosphere and easy beach access made it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy everything Arugam Bay has to offer. One of the highlights of my trip was spending time at the famous Arugam Bay Main Point, where I enjoyed the waves and even managed to catch a ride with what felt like the perfect surf posture, a moment that made the experience especially rewarding. Although I stayed for only three nights, the experience was so enjoyable that I genuinely wished I could have stayed longer. Combining great service, a vibrant coastal setting, Arugambay Roccos is a place I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Arugam Bay. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The perfect mix of beach town energy and resort comfort
Pros:

Right in the heart of Arugam Bay with everything walking distance, Roccos somehow still feels like a proper resort once you're inside. The pool facing the beach was the highlight, we went from beach dips straight back to the pool and never got tired of it. Staff were great, gave us solid tips on where to visit and we ended up having a brilliant morning surf session at Peanut Farm!!

Arugam Bay without the Arugam Bay price tag!
Pros:

Check in was seamless and they welcomed us with fresh pineapple juice which was a great touch after the drive. The beach beds were a highlight, spent most of the afternoon just lying there watching the waves. AC was working perfectly which matters a lot in Arugam Bay heat. Compared to other places in the area, the value for money here is genuinely hard to beat, especially with breakfast included.
