Nice hotel with pool next to the beach

It's great hotel to stay, but some small hick-ups. Rooms were not ready when we arrived even we called them in advanced, but hotel staff made it quickly. A/C not working properly I was the host for the bookings had to move few times until it was become acceptable condition.

It is fairly good. However the WiFi was utterly poor and no signal. TV entertainment was poor too.

Amazing staff, OK hotel.

Very attentive and friendly staff and a good breakfast but the hotel itself needs a bit of an update. Amongst other things our room wasn't ready when we checked in (after check in time), there was never any pool towels and the WiFi kept dropping out. None of these are huge issues individually but together they were somewhat annoying. Can't fault the staff though, they couldn't have been better.

wowed by their service

3 star hotel that felt more like 4 stars. was immediately offered a cold towel and drinks upon entering the hotel premises and that was really pleasant after a long bus ride from ella.

premises have a chill vibe and room was comfortable. staff were always warm and friendly. there was a gym with a treadmill which partner used and also a swimming pool. hotel is near main street and close to surf shops and good eats

would definitely recommend staying here if looking for a relaxing, comfortable stay in arugam bay.

You get what you pay for - travelodge style

Rooms comfy - AC working. Good position just over road from beach.
Welcome was good from reception
Unfortunately we were placed in an interlocking room with a door into another room (that wasn't occupied by our family) which we felt invaded our privacy, especially as our 'neighbours' were turning the handle. I asked for our room to be changed but the staff were unable to support the request as they were full.
On Sunday afternoon when we fancied a break from the sea we returned to find a full pool party in swing - very noisy music, and attracting mostly non-residents. Apparently the hotel has a nightclub currently under construction as well. When I asked reception about this I just got a \"shrug\"
On our final night my young son came down with a \"bug\" and vomited all over the bedding, floors, wall etc. It was 3 am and I was unable to access clean sheets / cleaning products, and the security guard told me there was no one available. My visit to reception showed it was closed for the night. When i complained to the manager the next day about no overnight cover - he said i should have called the reception on the phone who would have put me through to housekeeping - although there wasn't anyone there when I walked down.

This hotel was exactly as it was shown and we thought it would be. All staff from management to the cleaning staff were helpful and friendly. We would strongly recommend this as a place to stay in Arugam Bay. Although not on the beach, it is within easy walking distance and the pool is ideal for families with young children.

Hotel with all facilities and great staff

Rooms spacious and clean, breakfast really good. Staff over attentive. Short walk to the beach (not beach side) but makes up for it with nice swimming pool and air conditioned rooms. Comfy beds. Good value and close to all restaurants. Recommended.
