Basheer is super vriendelijk en helpt je graag, de kamers hebben goede bedden, donkere gordijnen en een grote badkamer met douche die snel warm wordt. Ontbijt is erg lekker met verschillende opties. Het strand is op 2 minuten loop afstand.

Basheer is a top notch host. No matter what you need, he will get it done at any time with a smile. He quickly organised some activities to ensure that my stay in Arugam Bay was the most complete experience, and also arranged the transportation to wherever I wanted to go. Breakfast is delicious, it shows that it is prepared with much care.

The location does not bring breathtaking views from the room, but it's ok, as we are supposed to explore and enjoy the surroundings, not stay inside :)

"A piece of home in Arugam bay"

10.0

Everything! We felt so at home here, we didn’t want to leave. The room was spotless and just as pictured. Basheer was an incredible host, could not have been more welcoming and friendly. The laundry service was also a huge help. The breakfast choice was unreal, the shakshuka and Sri Lankan breakfast were so so good. I will miss that very much! My only comment would be it would be great to have a television in the restaurant for the World Cup!

We had a great stay at Aqua Blue ! It's very close to the beach and all the restaurants. The room is comfortable and the breakfasts are so delicious and very big. The owner Bhasheer went above and beyond for us and really made the stay great.

"Overall We enjoyed the our stay and recommended the place"

9.0

The owner is so nice and helpful! We got into a little accident with the bike we rented from him and he helped us recover easily and offered to pay for charges. Anything else we needed he provided with a smile!

The only minus is the construction in the building right near the hotel. The owner said it’s illegal and that they’re supposed to stop by the end of the month. Aside from that, it’s not so close to the center of town, and we found some cheaper hotels closer to the center, so have that in mind.

La chambre est très spacieuse. La literie est superbe : c’est le lit et l’oreiller les plus confortables de tout notre voyage au Sri Lanka ! Le drap est très grand et très confortable aussi. Les petits déjeuner sont variés et tous délicieux. Basheer qui dirige cet établissement est juste incroyablement gentil et prévoyant. Il veut que tout se passe bien et ça se ressent complètement. Nous avons prolongé notre séjour de 3 nuits tellement nous nous y sommes bien sentis. Il est excrément arrangeant concernant l’heure du petit déjeuner et a vraiment envie de nous rendre notre séjour exceptionnel. Grâce à lui nous avons fait un safari exceptionnel au parc de Kumana (et avons vu 2 léopards alors que nous n’en avions pas vu à Willpatu). Nous avons également pu prendre des cours de surf grâce à lui. La terrasse est très agréable, avec jolis fauteuils et hamac. Avec même un ventilateur au plafond. La climatisation fonctionne super bien et il y a également un ventilateur mural dans la chambre. Les 2 ne font pas de bruit. La salle de bain est super, et le début de l’eau était nickel et l’eau chaude fonctionne parfaitement ! L’hôtel est situé au bout de la rue d’Arugam bay, ce qui permet d’être loin de l’agitation (0 bruit dans la chambre juste les oiseaux) mais tout est accessible à pied. C’est à dire à 2 minutes de la plage (même pas) et à 10 minutes de l’agitation de la ville avec tous les restaurants, bars. Donc un excellent compromis. Il est situé proche des différents spots de surf : le main point se trouve au bout de la plage donc accessible à pied (il y a des locations de planches sur place). Sinon les autres spots sont accessibles en tuktuk facilement. Bref on a vraiment adoré loger dans l’hôtel de Basheer, on s’y sent tout de suite bien.

Franchement nous ne voyons pas de point négatif
