Tranquil and serene. There are peacocks in the morning that frolic in the field of baby mango trees. The cabanas are set back very far from the street, so I slept very deeply. The entire property is shaded with enormous old trees and positioned for a wonderful breeze to flow through so the heat is minimized. The A/C and hot water worked well, and the room was clean and comfortable. Mattresses seemed fairly new which is always a bonus! The staff was friendly and had all the information I needed about where to eat, how to arrange for excursions, and was always available to answer my questions. I didn’t stay in the dorm-style rooms but I popped into the washrooms to rinse my hands and they were super clean! As a former backpacker this is always a big one for me. Oh! I also used their yoga area, there are so many places to enjoy some space outside. Def recommend if you want somewhere private and calm, Arugam bay is very loud and bustling with people so this was a lovely respite from the cacophony of the tourist season.

Very clean, comfortable accommodation in quiet peaceful surroundings. We slept so well here! The food is great, the hosts are amazingly kind and helpful with anything you may need. Close enough to everything via 15 minute walk or short tuk tuk ride but far enough that you enjoy serene evenings and mornings before and after activities. Highly recommend staying here!

Really enjoyed my stay here, the room was basic but had everything I needed. Mosquito net worked very well and the bathroom/shower was spacious. I was greeted with a smile every time and Murshith was super friendly and really enjoyed getting to know you. He also helped arrange a surf lesson for me last minute and it was one of my favorite activities I did in Arugam Bay. Extremely close to the beach, just 1-2 minute walk and very close to restaurants and all the action at night.

Whisky point is such a special place and I am so glad that I stayed here. The resort itself is beautiful and the perfect place to escape and disconnect. The staff are all amazing and very welcoming. As a solo female traveller I felt very at home and could have stayed much longer. The food is also delicious, from pasta to pizza and homemade banana bread! The first couple of days I was working remotely and I found it very comfortable with good wifi. After that I spent most of my time relaxing on the beach and enjoying the peaceful tranquility and good vibes. I 100% recommend.

The best part about this place is Mohammed, he made sure we were always comfortable, he always had delicious snacks for us. The room was really comfortable, with AC and a fan. Just next to the beach, and a really good surf school. Would recommend.

If you are visiting Arugam Bay and want a quiet paradise almost all to yourselves , this is your spot. We loved that it was away from the crowded part of town, spacious , and we had many parts of the beach and waters to explore. Right by the best surf areas. The beach is right there , a few steps away from the rooms. The staff an exceedingly helpful and hard working. They cooked delicious meals and very very flexible about our requests , and prices were very reasonable. We got to have meals served by the beach made just for us , at the prices of what a low- priced restaurant in town would have cost use.

It was great stay at star rest beach hotel .the hos (Owner) Abdullah was a superb guy .he is professional surfing trainer. He took me to peanut parm and crocodile rock. When I lost my way he quickly came and pick me up from the beach. The hotel location was great because very quiet place and helpful staff. The hotel itself had a place to eat and make your own food. The room was very clean and WiFi was excellent.

**Rating: 5/5** I recently stayed at Sand Dune Beach Resort & Surf Camp for 2 nights in Arugam Bay, and it was the best experience! Haroon is the most helpful and kind person I've ever met. He went above and beyond to help me sort out my bus to Colombo so I could catch my flight back to London. Haroon and his colleagues are truly dedicated to helping their guests and the local community. I highly recommend staying here if you want a fantastic and memorable experience.
