Nice room with comfortable bed. Quiet location. Very good instant water heater for the shower. They cooked a special chicken biryani for lunch which was delicious. We also had their very good Sri Lankan breakfast. Good value overall.

Beautiful property, people and views. We had such an amazing time staying at Whisky Point Resort and will definitely be back soon. Anna and Nicola are super warm and welcoming and will go over and beyond to give each and every one of their guests their time and attention to personalise their stay and make sure they are comfortable and enjoying every minute of their stay. The property is perfect for those who want to get away and enjoy the peace and quiet with amazing ocean views, clean beaches and Sri Lanka’s most stunning nature and wild life, whilst sleeping to the sound of the ocean waves and waking up to stunning sunrises. The food was super delicious and the authentic Italian restaurant even has a pizza oven! Thank you to all the chefs and kitchen staff! Kolvin is super friendly and will make sure you get the drinks and dishes that will leave you more than satisfied. The property is just 25 min away from the best surfing spots. Through Anna’s recommendation we were able to get a great surfing coach, Jaso took care of us and made sure that our beginnings in surfing are smooth and safe and most importantly FUN! Thank you to Anna, Nicola and all the staff for making our stay so special! Hoping to be back soon!

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.

Highly recommended! A family of five. We had the most wonderful time at Stay Golden. Angie and Rihan, the charming couple who owns the place, have created a small microcosmos with everything we needed. Other than going out to surf, we barely left the complex. Rihan gave the kids surfing lessons and pointed the more experienced surfers of our bunch to the right surfing spots. Thank you!

I stayed at Arugam Bay Resort recently and had a really pleasant experience. The hotel is perfectly located right by the beach, which creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The room and overall property were clean, comfortable, and well looked after. The facilities were great, and it truly felt like good value for money. The fast and reliable Wi-Fi was also very helpful during our stay. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. Having breakfast with a direct view of the ocean while listening to the waves made it even more enjoyable and peaceful. Although we stayed only for one night, everything was smooth and enjoyable. The team was very helpful and also arranged a taxi for us from Arugam Bay to Ella at a very reasonable price. The driver was friendly, professional, and the journey was comfortable. The service was provided through Arugam Bay Taxi, and we were very satisfied with it. Overall, a great place to stay if you’re visiting Arugam Bay. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beachside stay with helpful service.

**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.

Great stay for us. The team that run the hotel were really good. Swimming on the Panama beach every morning before breakfast was magic, the food was great. The room facilities were great as well. This is the nearest hotel resort to the Kumana National Park entrance. Few mins drive to the Arugam Bay Surfing beach. We will be back!

Just amazing would summarize it best! Anna and the Whisky Point Team warmly welcomed us and made our stay relaxed, joyful and absolutly worth it. We stayed a few days in a lovely upper cabana, which has been furnished with an eye for an detail and enjoyed good sleep with the sound of the sea. The team was just stunning! They recommended and helped with trips, offered awesome Italien Food (Special for Sri Lanka) and helped even when sunburn was an issue :) Just book your stay and enjoy the resort!

We loved our stay at Rams Resort. Honestly, it's a super unique place in terms of the community created around - starting from the staff and the manager but also all the guests seem to get along so well and it doesn't feel like your typical hotel. You always feel supported with anything you might need and there's always someone around with the solution or a helpful tip. They'll help you organize with everything you need and you'll feel very welcome. All is super comfy too and the location is great. Fully recommend!

The property is in perfect location for everything in Arugam Bay but away from hustle and bustle. The staff are lovely and welcoming. Rooms are comfortable and beds were great. The pool is a nice addition to have as not many places have them in A Bay. There is a small cafe across the road that sells the nicest little snacks which the kids loved using. Best donuts in the world !!! We had surf lessons that were organised by the resort with their own instructor who was fantastic. Highly recommended.
