"Great experience here with a group of 17 family members. Staff were super and did everything we asked of them. The lift was a little noisy as it stopped at each floor which was a bit irritating and when I reported it to management, they had the very next day a team of technicans call to the Hotel and sort it all, brilliant service. Thanks to Yuri and Haroon in particular for looking after us so diligently, a great team of people working in this Hotel!"

"Location is ideal - right on the main put tucked away in the foliage of the jungle so you don’t hear it. Very pretty yoga deck & clean rooms. Pool is a bit too shaded for my liking from all the trees & quite buggy. But other than that, the hospitality was great & restaurant is very good as well!"

"The owner is a huge bluff and a liar. we stayed there for 3 days via booking. We did not receive a bill when paying and he canceled the booking when we were gone to put the booking money in his pocket. We also had to pay 25 euros in tax for 3 days. When we called him later, he kept disconnecting. Definitely not recommended!!!! Plenty of choice in the area"

"yoga eat surf amazing sleep "Fantastic" I loved my stay at star Rest Surf Camp Arugambay , the team or should I say family are so welcoming, just waiting in anyway they can to help! Flexible schedules allow you to enjoy each day how you want to, and did I mention the food...... it is amazing! - healthy and so delicious, we were spoilt for choice at breakfast. Afternoons an excellent coffee (and homemade cake:-) at Loose Keys coffee shop at the entrance was another highlight. Surfing and yoga was great fun to learn with very proficient and patient instructors. If you want to go out in the evening, the team will gladly help to find the right venue. All in all I loved every aspect of my stay!! Can hardly wait to go back! I highly recommend this place to stay in the world 🏡🤝👍🌴"

Paddyway Resort Hotels in Arugam

Paddyway Resort

"My partner and I had an amazing stay at Paddyway. We did a six day surf camp and our instructor Jemsen was incredibly helpful. I feel like we both saw a lot of progression in the 6 days. We had breakfast at Paddyway every morning and it was always delicious. The staff was very helpful. Even when we did an early surf, they would give us fruit to go and breakfast whenever we came back. We attended two yoga classes as part of our surf camp and they were very helpful to our muscular recovery. Our room was gorgeous. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and when we first came into the room, it was already cool from the AC and it smelled absolutely amazing. They really did a great job of providing a luxurious experience. We also loved having our own WiFi in our room. The connection was always working unlike other places in town. We had a memorable stay and are very grateful to the incredible staff and instructors!"

Guitar Bay Arugambay

"Do not waste your money. Good luck finding the same rude staff member twice. Rarely anyone at reception except tuk tuk drivers. The bathroom is the dirtiest I have ever seen in a hotel. It was way over priced for this area in this condition. If you book in person as we did , and I advise you don't, get a written receipt because it's unlikely there will be a record of your booking at reception. The water in the swimming pool looked like soup. For a fairly new place everything was in disrepair. Broken path tiles, wires sticking out where lights should be, generally a disaster zone. Only positive the air con was cold."

"Terrible and dirty... Driven by the reviews we booked this hotel for 7 nights as the location is excellent in the center of Arugambay and with a swimming pool... But as we saw the rooms we left without even unloading our luggage... Rooms that look like niches due to how small they are, dirty, pillows of indescribable shape and colour, disgusting yellow... I honestly wonder if whoever reviewed this hotel has actually stayed in those rooms..."

Surf Gangs Arugambay ★★★
"We’ve stayed twice at Surf Gangs. It’s a great place. Location is perfect. Rooms are very simple with a kind of industrial minimalist vibe. Pool & garden are fabulous. I just wish the room had a mini fridge & tea/coffee making. We will definitely return, look forward to the renovations."

Ocean Bliss Arugambay ★★★
"Our stay here was lovely! The hotel is in a good location being a very short 2 min walk to the beach with many restaurants and shops around to go too! The rooms were a good size, clean and the beds were comfy. The mosquito net around the bed is one of the best we have seen and does in fact cover the whole bed. You can choose between AC/non AC when you get there which are different prices. The staff are super friendly, helpful and make sure your stay in the hotel is perfect! I would 100% recommend here to stay!"

Safasurf Camp - Hostel ★★
"Fawas runs an awesome surf camp at a beautiful part of Arugam Bay, right on the beach, next to the lagoon so you can watch the sunset and sunrise in the same day, also away from all the parties but close enough to walk to all the amenities. The Surf Instruction itself is the best in the area. You feel safe here, the food is awesome, rooms clean, cold and comfortable. If you're looking for a surf camp in Arugam Bay go to these guys."

Hotel Alaskabay Arugambay ★★★
"We checked into this hotel for a few nights as a stopover. The reception wasn't particularly welcoming. There were also problems with payment and proof of payment. The toilet didn't work initially, nor did the shower. The shower water also sputtered when we turned it on. During our four-night stay, neither the towels nor the bed linens were changed, nor was the bed made. The water wasn't refilled either. All the rooms faced an open corridor, so the noise from the tourist area continued until very late at night. All in all, we wouldn't book here again."

"We enjoyed our stay at the beach bungalows here. We came during off season and they cleaned the pool for us and we had the beachfront bungalow. The breakfast was really good! However, this hotel also operates a liquor store that runs 24/7 right in the middle of the guest rooms so at all hours of the day there were people walking through to buy alcohol (during breakfast time even) and then would sit down on the premises to consume their purchases. As two young travellers it was not a huge deal but if you are a family it might not be the space for you!"

"We stayed at Hideaway for one week with our one year old. This is simply the most beautiful place in Arugambay, it’s so peaceful, all the details, the aesthetic, the food and most importantly the staff is so friendly. A special mention to Sangeetha and Nethmi from the front desk who have been there for us during the whole week. Thank you Sharon and the whole staff at Hideaway, for having us and taking care of us with so much love. We will come back soon."
