MONSOON Eco Resort

The green ambience, it is a little oasis, off the touristic mainstream. Fantastic staff and food.

The mosquitos. The bed in the tree house could be a bit taller and the mosquito nett fixed at the bed frame.

A truley magical place to slow down and relax. Listening to birds while looking at the rice fields, watching butterflies flying around when sipping on your cappucino. Everyone is open-hearted and very friendly, helping you out with every request. The owners are exeptionally kind, talented and very inspirational. This place has everything you need for calming yourself down. Food and the coffee is very tasty. There is even a little art gallery. The surf spot Pottuvil is in walking distance and so is the place to rent boards.

Make sure to bring enough mosquito repellent. Otherwise you are going to be eaten ;) also, renting a TukTuk might be a great choice to be flexible in moving around.

Really nice accomodation in a beautiful garden setting.The staff is friendly and the food is good.The beach nearby is also nice and with no crowds.We are really happy that we stayed here and not directly at arugam bay.Highly recommended!

The garden and entire property was so beautiful and gave a very zen feeling. The trees provided some shade during the hot days and Vishy was so lovely to chat to and gave some helpful advice on the area. Great a quiet location for a nice break for the party in Arugam Bay and was a 10 min walk / 1 min tuk tuk to the surf.

Just make sure to bring some bug spray for your feet at night!

The setting

They Did not visit the room for two days. The room was very rustic and very tired. The food over priced and small portions

The rooms are spacious

For us it was a bit too far away from everything and getting to Arugam Bay was at least 2000rs by tuk tuk each way. We rented a scooter to be able to go back and forward. There wasn’t anywhere we could buy water, a soda, or similar. The breakfast variation was very limited to curry and one option of Western breakfast, toast and egg, and the same for dinner. The internet did not work properly most of our stay, but We don’t know if that was a property problem or a problem in the area. The hostess seemed to be on her phone most of our time there, or managing staff. However the working staff was always very kind and helpful. Finally, the place could not take payment cards and even though all payments was cash the host could not give us any change back. This place was too rural for our liking. There isn’t much to do in the area. However, others might find this appealing.

Beautiful garden, nice hosts, calm place

Wifi not working everywhere, breakfast very small

Wonderful place, Vichy is an amazing host!!!

Beautiful natural setting that they've worked hard to create with natural materials and plants. It gets raked/swept/watered everyday to keep it looking great. They allowed an early check-in for us.. Lots of design touches in every area, including a spiral wooden staircase down to our bathroom with sink carved from a solid piece of stone. Lots of nature such as butterfly's, birds, geckos around ... And some even get in your room for a real close up (praying mantis, gecko, insects) 10.min walk to the surfing beach ... And as with all beaches along this coast, strong currents so not good for swimming or small kids. For note: No mosquito net on single bed in the room (this seems normal in Sri Lanka but not sure why) Booking.com taxes for this accomm were significantly higher than every other accomm and I don't know why (eg 40usd on 160usd costs).
