Guest Reviews

• Thong (10/5): -
• Samaru (10/5): - Exact place for a holiday. Very quite and very friendly staff. Really enjoyed my holiday there.
• Shakeek (8/5): - Good place Good location Silent place
• Dilshan (9/5): - Privacy in beach area. Peaceful. Safe parking confy rooms. Friendly staff delicious food. Excellenr tea. U must try. Typical lbeach vibe. U find peace here. No rush. My second visit to the property Nothing much say
• Sathya (9/5): -
• Lucas (10/5): - Very friendly staff, very nice and calm location, excellent food. We recommend! Wifi is extremly slow. At the beach in front of the hotel you cannot swim, waves are dangerous and the beach falls off 2 meters. You can walk 10 minutes and swim there. The surfspot Whiskey point does not exist anymore, surfteachers told us that the sand eroded. So dont go there if you want to surf, but to relax. But Arugam bay is close by tuktuk, you can surf there.
• Aruna Kithsirii (7/5): -
• Supun (10/5): - Good brake fast Room is nice Nice place Friendly staff
• Lasith Priyakelum (9/5): - මනරම් වූ ස්ථානයක පිහිටා තිබීම, කාර්ය මණ්ඩලය විසින් සපයන සේවය, ඔවුන්ගේ සුහදශීලී බව

• Thivina (9/5): It's great, we might go again - Staff was great and the place was calm, perfect for digital nomads. And the views were insane. A little dangerous to swim in front of the hotel
• Felix (10/5): We had an incredible time here. Super friendly and helpful people. 🤩 - Location was just amazing 🤩 Breakfast and Dinner were super good 😋
• Amza (6/5): -
• Fernanda (6/5): la pieza estaba cómoda, el personal muy simpático y siempre dispuesto a ayudar, pero falta que inviertan en un mejor int - que estuviera lejos de las calles ruidosas de arugam. el personal muy simpático aunque el señor que estaba a cargo ponía caras de enojado, siempre quiso ayudarme, creo que solo era mañoso.. el menú de la cocina, el wifi muy malo, que vaya gente a tomar alcohol y dejan la playa siempre sucia y también no me dio seguridad que estuvieran ahí emborrachándose.
• Athem Yaser Ahamed (7/5): -
• Dumindu (6/5): - Rooms are very clean and comfortable.. foods are very tasty and healthy. They havent room service.you have to come to dining area for bed tea even. And the pool was not enough clean.. they took some time to clean it up.. we chose this because of swimming pool.. 🥹
• Yara (8/5): - Die Unterkunft ist direkt am Meer (allerdings kann man an der Stelle nicht baden, da die Wellen sehr stark sind). Neben dem Pool gibt es eine Überdachung unter der man sitzen und aufs Meer schauen kann. Das Frühstück war gut und das Personal freundlich. Wir konnten unser Tuktuk in der Anlage parken. Insgesamt hatten wir eine schöne Zeit, man kann in der Nähe Surfen und Lagoon Safaris machen.
• Marina (10/5): Un lugar mágico que ya sentimos como hogar - Este lugar ha sido, sin duda, lo mejor de nuestro viaje por Sri Lanka. Un espacio con todas las comodidades, pero a la vez auténtico, conectado con la naturaleza y con la cultura local. Nos ha permitido vivir una experiencia real, cercana y muy especial. Queremos hacer una mención especial a Kimi y Raja, que nos han cuidado con una atención y calidez increíbles. Siempre con una sonrisa, pendientes de todo, nos han hecho sentir en casa desde el primer día. La comida es buenísima, casera, sabrosa y a muy buen precio. Además, organizan actividades como el lagoon safari que fue una experiencia inolvidable. Vinimos para quedarnos solo unos días y acabamos alargando la estancia porque no queríamos irnos. Nos ha dado mucha pena marcharnos… pero sabemos que volveremos. Gracias por hacer de este lugar un rincón tan especial.
• Prince (4/5): Extremely disappointed - The environment and view were very calm and pleasant, and we did not experience any disturbances. The pool was nice, though a bit small. However, I was quite disappointed with the breakfast, as the so-called English breakfast only consisted of four slices of bread with jam, butter, and an omelet, which felt very limited. I have stayed in many hotels across Sri Lanka, and I personally feel that the price here is far too high compared to the facilities provided. I paid $100 for two nights (around Rs. 31,000), which is not reasonable for what was offered. The room had no room service, the toilets were not properly cleaned, and even basic amenities such as shampoo, soap, fresh towels, mosquito repellent, and a hairdryer were missing. I also feel disappointed with Booking.com. It seems the prices were boosted to gain more income, as on the same day I checked again, the rate had dropped to Rs. 6,000 per night, which was shocking. Furthermore, the photos shown online did not match the reality—the property looked poorly maintained and very different from what was advertised. Overall, the only positive point was the staff, who were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, due to this experience, I have decided not to trust Booking.com in the future.
• Raquel (9/5): Relaxing place to stay close to the beach - It's a very quiet place where you can relax and it's very close to the beach were you can have a nice walk. If you like to surf is a very great place, not crowded at all. The swimming pool is great! Everything is clean and the room we had was spaciuos with big bathroom. The breakfast was really nice, with fresh juice, some toast and eggs at your choice (scrambled, omelette, fried) It was very kind to have free bottled water and coffee available at any moment.
• Jovanovichs (10/5): Our fav stay in Sri Lanka - We had a blast! Mr Raja and his team made our experience amazing. From the comfy beds to the warmth of the beach, we loved our stay. The staff prepares homey food and we loved the juices too. The beach is so so close and the location is so peaceful but also just a tuk tuk away from the active city center. This was our fav stay in city Lanka. Everything was amazing, just advice to take the rooms with the pool/restaurant if you want to be closer to the beach.
• Anna (10/5): -
• Dan the Man ! (9/5): A great place to reset and relax away from the busy touristy Arugam Bay Would definitely stay again - Right on the beach, lovely clean pool, and a very relaxed atmosphere. Happy friendly staff, great food. A little further out of Arugam Bay than we expected but it didn't really matter
• Lauren (10/5): Peaceful can only hear the sound of the ocean waves crashing and a few crows squawking - Beautiful location right on the beach. NA
• Brent (10/5): Wonderful - Treated like family
• Aleksandra (8/5): - The staff were very nice and friendly. The swimming pool was open all day and night. A quiet, almost deserted beach.
• Margarida (1/5): Horrible ! - Nothing ! This was the worst and most disgraceful hotel experience of my life. What is advertised as a “resort” is pure deception – we were placed in crumbling, filthy rooms outside the hotel grounds, across a public road infested with stray dogs. The conditions were beyond unacceptable: cockroaches, ant nests, geckos, and gecko droppings on the bedsheets every single day. The sheets were ripped and filthy, the furniture broken, and there was thick dirt and dust under the beds. It was impossible to feel safe or clean in such an environment. The swimming pool was dangerous – three children cut their feet on broken tiles. Out of the two rooms we paid for, one was so horrific we could not use it, leaving it empty. We are a family of four with two children, and all of us ended up sleeping together in one room because the kids were terrified by the state of the other. I contacted the manager directly, offering a fair solution: pay only for one night and refund the rest, or at least return 50% so we could move elsewhere. He never replied. Even Booking.com tried to contact the hotel to reach an agreement, but the hotel refused. This place is not just bad – it is a scam, a health hazard, and a humiliation for anyone booking in good faith. Avoid this disgraceful property at all costs.
• Aymeric (10/5): - Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Paper Moon. L’endroit est magnifique, très calme et parfaitement situé, loin de l’agitation touristique. L’accueil du patron et de ses fils a été exceptionnel : ils sont attentionnés, disponibles et savent mettre une touche d’humour qui rend l’expérience encore plus agréable. Si vous recherchez la tranquillité et de superbes plages, c’est l’adresse idéale. En revanche, si vous préférez un lieu animé avec de nombreux restaurants et magasins à proximité, ce n’est pas l’endroit qui vous conviendra.
• annabelle (9/5): Super !!! Merci !!!! - Emplacement en bord de plage. Plage idéale pour se baigner à 500 mètres de l'hotel car la plage juste devant peut etre un peu dangereuse. Toutes les personnes sont adorables, une mention spéciale à RAJA qui a été très gentil. L'hotel se compose de 2 séries de bungalow, nous étions vers la piscine et je pense que c'est beaucoup plus agréable que les bungalows plus excentrés. Pour information, les bungalows de 11 à 20 sont dans partie où se situe le restaurant et la piscine. Les bungalows 11 à 14 sont hypers bien situés. Le spot de surf devant l'hotel ne fonctionne plus depuis 2021, il faut aller à 500 mètres environ ou à Arugam Bay en tuk tuk. Nous préférons le calme de cet hotel aux complexes de Arugam Bay. Pour les personnes qui souhaitent être au calme, emplacement idéal. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, et nous nous sentions comme à la maison. Merci encore pour votre accueil. Ne pas apprécié est exagéré, mais la carte des repas mériterait d'être un peu plus variée. Néanmoins cuisine très bonne.
• Agnieszka (10/5): -
• Asanka (9/5): -
• Justyna (10/5): Idealny odpoczynek w prześlicznym spokojnym miejscu - Idealne miejsce na odpoczynek , cisza i spokój . Pyszne śniadania , przemiła obsługa , czysty basen i domki . Polecam
• Marianna (2/5): -
• Michel (8/5): - Zwembad, strand, vriendelijk personeel Jankende honden in nacht
• Eliot (10/5): -
• Israel (4/5): No hay duros a cuatro pesetas - La ubicacion por estar en Whisky Point y estar cerca de la playa Sensacion se dejadez y poca organizacion
• Helena (8/5): - Leuke plek op een heerl rustige locatie. Als dat is wat je zoekt, zeker een aanrader! Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We hebben bij aankomst onze verwachtingen wel een beetje moeten bijstellen. Je merkt dat de foto's al enkele jaren geleden zijn genomen. Maar zeker prijs kwaliteit de moeite waard! We hadden zelf niet goed door dat de "garden view" kamers wat verder liggen. Hiervoor moesten we een stukje over straat, dit lieten we onze dochters van 7 en 8 jaar natuurlijk niet alleen doen. Wat maakt dat je wel wat vaker over en weer loopt.
• Tanja (8/5): Die Menschen machen diesen Ort wunderschön - Das Personal ist sehr liebenswert, speziell Raja ist ein Herzensmensch! Das Essen ist lecker und preislich unschlagbar. Frühstück, Wasser, Kaffee und Tee sind komplett gratis. Die Lage ist für alle Ruhe Suchenden perfekt. Generell ist alles in die Jahre gekommen und brauch dringend eine Renovierung aber für diesen Preis kann man auch kein Luxus Resort erwarten.
• Stefaan (1/5): Diefstal. - Absoluut ondermaatse prijs kwaliteit. Vuil, faciliteiten in verval en gedateerd. Voor dit geld mag je echt wel veel meer verwachten. Een van de weinige hotels die met volledige voorafbetaling werkt en nu is ook duidelijk waarom. Ondanks drie nachten betaald zijn we na 1 nacht vertrokken. Nog nooit eerder meegemaakt in 30 jaar wereldwijd reizen. Als je het wil aankaarten kan dit enkel via messaging op booking en daar krijg je enkel een standaard koude reactie verwijzend naar cancellation policy. Ik stond nochtans open voor een wederzijds compromis maar daar reageerden ze zelfs niet meer op. Zeer zeer onprofessioneel en onpersoonlijke koude aanpak. Alles behalve vriendelijk personeel.
• Francesco Gorlani (2/5): Fuorviante - Sono state assegnate camere che non erano nello stesso posto del ristorante/piscina ma a circa 3 min a piedi fuori dal resort. Questo andrebbe specificato al momento della prenotazione. Le camere sono piccole e spesso sporche di insetti o sabbia, un attimo di attenzione in più fa la differenza.
• Bhedi (8/5): Wonderful place to stay, friendly and delicious food - Nice location and right by the beach. Uncle and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. That made us feel at home. Food was fresh and very tasty. I would recommend having the milkshake. It’s sooooo good
• Fernando Barranco (4/5): - Lugar tranquilo y alejado del ruido Precio excesivo para lo que ofrecen, instalaciones muy deterioradas, personal mayor muy mal humorado
• Caryn-Lee (7/5): We really enjoyed our stay! - We stayed at Paper Moon Kudils for 10 nights and really enjoyed our time here. The accommodation is simple and comfortable — the bungalows are a bit dated but perfectly fine for sleeping, especially since we spent most of our time outdoors soaking in the stunning natural surroundings. The location has beautiful views of the beach and has a swimming pool. It’s a great spot to relax, swim, and explore the area. Getting around was super easy with tuk tuks always on hand to take us into Arugam Bay within minutes. What really stood out was the staff — incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. They went out of their way to accommodate any request and made our stay feel relaxed and easy. If you're looking for a laid back beach stay with great service and a beautiful setting this is a great choice. N/ A

• Stefan (7/5): -
• karp (9/5): -
• රුවන්දික (7/5): -
• Krishani (8/5): Friendly staff and great location - On the beach A bit far from Arugambay main area
• pierpaolo (9/5): - Il posto è bello ma soprattutto lontano dal caos di arugam bay Dove si dorme è molto spartano e poco curato
• perera (1/5): - I booked a triple room at Paper Moon Kudils Hotel and was extremely disappointed with the quality and service. The room had only one small bottle of water for three people, which is unacceptable. The air conditioner didn’t work properly, making it very uncomfortable. The bathroom only had a small bar of soap – no shampoo, no other essentials. The bed was broken, and there were dirty clothes left in the room, which shows a serious lack of cleanliness. I even saw a cockroach, which was disgusting and unacceptable in any hotel. The breakfast was very poor – just two slices of bread and an omelet, with no juice, tea, or coffee. Overall, the experience was terrible. The hotel does not offer the basic standards expected for the price. I would not recommend staying here unless major improvements are made
• Juan (3/5): Needs TLC - The staff is very helpful. The location is great. The place doesn't look like the pictures anymore. It needs TLC.
• T.V.C (1/5): -
• Celine (1/5): - Cette resort est très mal entretenue. Le personnel ne nettoie pas les transats de la piscine recouverts d'excrements de Corbeaux, les tables du restaurant ne sont pas nettoyées, et la chambre est également très sale. Tous les jours, il y avait des cafards dans la chambre, les étagères étaient poussiéreuses, le sol également. Les chambres ont vu sur un mur en parpin ou des barbelés. Il n'y a pas de spot de surf comme indiqué dans la description. Whisky point ne fonctionne plus depuis 3 ans, en raison d'un banc de sable qui a été déplacé. Il faut marcher 2,5km pour accéder a Pottuvil surf point. Nous devions rester 20 jours, nous sommes partis au bout de 3 jours. Nous avons demandé un remboursement ou un geste commercial. Nous n'avons jamais obtenu de réponse de la part du propriétaire. Nous deconseillons vivement cette resort.
• PETER (7/5): -
• pierpaolo (10/5): -
• Johan (6/5): Nice people but They need to do some thorough clean up of the place. - Very friendly people. Very helpful. Nice beach. They need to do some thorough clean up. Inside the cabins as well as outside the grounds. This was the most expensive stay we have had so far during our Sri Lanka road trip. But the service was the lowest quality.
• Stephanie (10/5): A perfect family getaway - We recently enjoyed a lovely stay at Paper Moon in Arugam Bay, and it was the perfect place for our family to rest and relax. Nestled just outside of town, this charming spot offered us the tranquility we were looking for, away from the hustle and bustle. Our two young children had a fantastic time exploring the beautiful grounds and spent countless hours swimming in the pool, which we also thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere was inviting, and it felt like a home away from home. The staff at Paper Moon were truly wonderful—warm, friendly, and attentive to our needs. Every morning, we were greeted with smiles and treated to a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast that set the tone for a great day ahead. While this isn’t a luxury escape, the facilities were clean and tidy, with excellent air conditioning that was a lifesaver on hot days. We appreciated the lovely open social areas, allowing us to spend quality time together as a family without disturbing other guests. Overall, we loved our stay at Paper Moon and would definitely come back again! Highly recommended for families looking for a relaxing getaway. We would pay and book the pool rooms next time as they’re bigger and more spacious for a family
• Thomas (9/5): - Wir haben drei Nächte im Paper Moon Kudils verbracht. Die ruhige Lage sorgt für eine perfekte Auszeit und der direkte Blick aufs Meer ist fantastisch. Der Strand ist sehr weitläufig und wir hatten diesen gefühlt für uns alleine. Das Essen war sehr lecker, und die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet, inklusive Klimaanlage. Raja und die Mitarbeiter insgesamt waren unglaublich aufmerksam und haben sich große Mühe gegeben, uns einen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt zu bereiten. Wir können das Hotel eindeutig weiterempfehlen und kommen gerne wieder! We spent three nights at Paper Moon Kudils. The quiet location makes for a perfect break and the direct view of the sea is fantastic. The beach is very spacious and we felt we had it to ourselves. The food was delicious and the rooms are well equipped, including air conditioning. Raja and the staff in general were incredibly attentive and went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. We can definitely recommend the hotel and would love to come back!
• Marieke (7/5): Mooi plekje! Als het schoon was geweest had ik er zeker langer willen blijven. - Prachtige lokatie. Heerlijk rustig. Ik de omgeving nog andere hotels en eet mogelijkheden. De badkamer was echt vies en er hing soms een aparte sfeer door 1 van de personeelsleden.
• Kåre (7/5): -
• Adi (6/5): -
• Matthias (4/5): - Wir hatten zwei Bungalows mit Gartenblick gebucht und wurden im hintersten Teil der zweiteiligen Anlage untergebracht. Der Weg zum Restaurant, Pool und Meer war entsprechend weit, was insbesondere mit Kindern oder eingeschränkter Mobilität unpraktisch ist. Die veröffentlichten Fotos auf Booking.com spiegeln nicht die Realität wider: Die Umgebung des Pools und des Restaurants sah deutlich anders und weniger gepflegt aus. Auch die Bungalows selbst waren kleiner und deutlich einfacher als auf den Bildern dargestellt. Die Mitarbeitenden waren stets freundlich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Beim Manager hatte ich leider einen anderen Eindruck.
• Femke (4/5): -
• Cindy (8/5): We came as guests and left as family - Great staff. Really great. They treated us like family and introduced is to local food, tradition and games. Somewhat out of Arugam Bay but if you want to wind down this is a great place. Great pool. Good restaurant and right at the beach. Special Thanks to Rada and his team NA
• Leonard (10/5): Amazing place to stay - We spent two weeks at Paper Moon and would like to share the following: LOCATION & ACCOMODATION Located directly next to Whisky Point Beach, this beautiful resort offers a very comfortable accomodation for travelers, who don’t want to stay in the center of Arugam Bay with all its bars, restaurants and busy tourist areas. Yes, there are not as many restaurant options in the area as in Arugam Bay and you may have to take a TukTuk to town if you wish to have that. The rooms are reasonably sized, comfortable, airconditioned and offer a very large bathroom. The surrounding area is peaceful and quiet. WIFI is fast and works in most areas. The pool area lies next to the beach, with enough shady spots under the palm trees to relax on one of the sunbeds. The closest surf spot is Pottuvil point, about a 15 minute walk on the beach. STAFF & SERVICE The whole staff of the resort is kind, very attentive, always friedly and available at any time. The resort team make sure that you feel well and cared for 24 hours a day. We never received a “no“ to any of our requests. Whether you need your laundry done, any extras for your room or a TukTuk-ride to Arugam Bay - Raja and his team will take care of it. HYGIENE & CLEANING The rooms were clean and well prepared upon arrival. Towels and bedsheets are changed every 5 days or upon request. Room cleaning also takes place every 5 days or upon request. Yes, you will find the occational bug or gecko in your room - you are staying in a very natural area of Sri Lanka (you may even see elephants in the area). Yes, you will encounter some crows or stray dogs in the restaurant & pool area - it is simply part of living in such an area. If you‘re looking for a luxurious 5-Star experience with daily room service and without having to lift a finger - you may want to book somewhere else. FOOD The restaurant offers good local food as well as some „western“ options.
• 拓馬 (2/5): おすすめ出来ない - アルガムベイビーチへ徒歩で行けてWi-Fi、クーラー完備、朝食付きのホテルを探して予約しました。 もちろん全て条件は満たしてはいましたが、スタッフの対応も悪くドライバーのお部屋の準備がありませんでした。安いホテルが近くにあるから探してあげるとの事でしたがなかなか見つからず、かなり時間がかかりました。ホテルも写真とは全く違うく、ガッカリしました。シャワーとトイレも虫だらけ。Wi-Fiを繋いでも電波がかなり悪くネットが繋がらない状態だった為スタッフに相談しましたが、それにもかなり時間を要しました。朝食もメニューから選んでもいいとの事でしたが選ぶものほぼ無く余ったものを適当に出された感じでお腹も満たされず、、、。キャンセルしてもお金は戻らないのは承知で1週間ステイするつもりのホテルを2日で別なホテルに移動しました。 現地に着いてホテルを探すのが不安だったので行く前に予約しましたがアルガンベイにはホテルがたくさんあるので現地で見てから予約してもいいのかと思います。 良い勉強になりました！ ありがとうございました 接客態度
• Giovanna (10/5): Paradise - If you’re looking for relaxation and disconnecting from everything, this is your place. The room was comfortable, spotless, and had everything we needed. The restaurant served delicious food at very reasonable prices. The pool area was amazing and just steps away from the beach! 🏝️ But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to meet our needs, especially Mr. Raja, who took care of us like a father. We’ll definitely be coming back! ❤️ Nothing
• 拓馬 (1/5): 人におすすめできない。二度といかない - 何もない トイレ、シャワー、宿泊施設、接客、全てダメ 食事のメニューがほとんどない
• Kate (8/5): Relaxing beach stay - This is a real “get away from it all” place, where you switch down a gear and properly relax. Peaceful location, beautiful beach and lovely warm hospitality
• shane (10/5): -
• Chiara (8/5): - Il posto è lontano dal trambusto di Arugam bay. La sera si sentivano le onde del mare dalla stanza Non c'erano le zanzariere e la capanna vista giardino è a 5 minuti a piedi dalla struttura principale. La pulizia del bagno è da rivedere
• Bhagya Fernando (5/5): Don’t book this hotel with “paid breakfast” option - Very inflexible staff. Don’t book this hotel with “paid breakfast” option. It’s not worth it and not hygienic and the staff won’t allow you to change the booking to “without breakfast” option at the check in.
• simon (10/5): -
• Chamara (9/5): -
• judit (8/5): relaxed place 20 mins away from arugam bay - the room had AC, it was clean and matress very comfortable the location is very good if you’re looking for a quiet and relaxed place there was no wifi on the room, the signal was also quite bad it’s around 20’ by bike from arugam bay and there’s nothing much to do in that area
• dayan aravinda (7/5): -
• Janne (6/5): -
• Hannah (10/5): - the hotel is right on the beach and has amazing views. The food and drink is very reasonably priced and tasty. The staff were helpful and attentive.
• Clémence (7/5): Potentiel mais déception - L’extérieur avec la piscine est vraiment sympa avec plusieurs endroit pour se poser au calme. Le spot de surf est une fraude, il ne marche plus depuis plusieurs années. Les chambres ne donnent pas envie d’y dormir, le ventilateur était rempli de moisissures, le reste de la chambre n’est vraiment pas propre. Le débit de douche est ridicule c’est à peine si ça nous mouille un peu.
• Kasia (10/5): - We stayed there almost one week . Really nice place if you are looking for calm place. We loved the food and morning coffees - served by all staff you can see on the picture . This place has a soul . Thank you for looking after us . We wish to come back one day :)
• Cloe (4/5): Bel endroit manquant d’attention dans les détails - Concernant la piscine et la plage, ceux là sont très appréciables. Piscine en bord de mer, et plage très facilement accessible. Personnel à l’écoute et réactif. Nous avons été très déçu lors de notre passage. Lors de notre arrivée, nous avons été moyennement accueillis. Arrivée à notre chambre, nous avons constaté pas mal de défauts.. c’est à dire, une pomme de douche qui ne fait pas son travail, des évacuations de douche à même le mur, qui laissent donc la porte ouverte aux grenouilles et insectes, la salle de bain n’est pas totalement fermée, nous pouvons retrouver pas mal d’insectes dans notre chambre et même dans notre lit par faute d’isolation. Il n’y a pas de wi-fi dans les chambres, uniquement au sein de l’accueil/restaurant. Nous avons déposés nos vêtements auprès du staff pour le laundry service, après 24h nous les avons récupérer encore mouillés et en boule. Il y a certaines choses à revoir dans les logements, certaines choses qui pourraient se faire rapidement et à moindre coûts. Tout n’est pas mauvais mais nous avons été peu satisfait puisqu’il s’agit du même prix que nous avons payés dans nos autres hôtels au Sri Lanka pour une bien meilleure qualité.
• Christine (10/5): Amazing paradise but be aware of some misunderstandings - The value for money was excellent and the pools settings was spectacular. I'd like to thank the staff for their patience with me and serving me well during my time there. Travelling solo the other guests were very welcoming and it felt like a little family home. The meals were very well priced, huge portions and super cheap which made a massive difference to the other local places and saved me a ton on money. The beds were not so comfortable and I think there could have been a better system in place to avoid mosquitoes, but that's nature for you! One thing i will comment on which made some misunderstandings were that when you book "pool view" you do not get a view of the pool. Instead the property has two places to stay "garden side" and "pool side" So actually even if you're on the pool side you may not get a view of the pool. The location is also not in Arugambay, it's in Whiskey Point about 15 min drive outside of Arugambay. This was fine for me as I had my bike, but for anyone else it might get expensive to get tuk tuk back and to for the local attractions of Arugambay.

• Roberta (8/5): - Tutto lo staff molto carino. Ci tengono che tu ti senta accolto. Tutti molto disponibili Piscina davanti all'oceano. Un paradiso terrestre. Posto carino e ben isolato
• Philippa (10/5): - The location is beautiful, right by the beach. The staff will help organise any transport needs. Raja was really accomodating and kind to us throughout our stay.
• Nino (9/5): Tres tres bien -
• Alrick (7/5): - L’équipe a été vraiment géniale tout au long du séjour : toujours souriante, disponible, et prête à trouver des solutions à tout. Mention spéciale aux cuisiniers pour les plats délicieux et au gâteau surprise pour l’anniversaire. Nous avons choisi cet hôtel en pensant pouvoir surfer juste devant, comme le laissaient penser certaines photos sur le site. Malheureusement, le spot ne fonctionnait pas du tout, ce qui nous a obligés à nous déplacer en tuktuk tous les jours pour aller surfer ailleurs. Si vous venez spécifiquement pour le surf, sachez que l’emplacement peut ne pas être aussi idéal qu’il y paraît.
• Patricia (10/5): - Clean and spacious room with great AC, great staff! The property is beautiful and there’s an onsite cafe for drinks and delicious food. Before checking in, I was at a different location in Whiskey Point and they helped with pick up so I wasn’t walking in the evening - so kind! I’ll book here again.

• Hayere (8/5): - La localisation, le staff, la flexibilité, la gentillesse, la tranquillité du lieu, on fait de notre séjour un moment inoubliable. L’intérieur des cabanes (chambre) était très dégradée, mais l’ extérieur le faisait vite oublier !
• Dushan (10/5): -
• Charlotte (7/5): Bel endroit mais ambiance bizarre avec le personnel - Chambre confortable climatisée propre. Assez bel emplacement, nourriture pas trop cher et bonne Gestion de l’établissement, personnel bête
