We got welcomed with smiles by the friendly staff as soon as we got there. The owner was very helpful in giving us recommendations for surfboards rentals, prices, buses etc. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Curtains at the dorm beds for privacy + individual towels, lights and plugs. AC is on in the rooms. Nice little chilling area above the reception and kitchen. Nice and clean kitchen with everything you need if you want to cook your own food. Available coffee tea and filtered water for free and at any time. Very good location in Arugam Bay. I recommend!

This is PARADISE! exactly like I have seen it described in books. Everything is just created to make you not want to ever leave ❤️ me and my fiancé had such a great experience here. When we have arrived, we had a bad cold, and everyone has mobilized to make us feel better: pills, teas, all kinds of ayurvedic medicines were given to us to make us feel better. I felt like we were at our parents homes, and they're going above and beyond to make us feel better. Rooms: we got an upgrade to a room with bathroom and, even though we paid for the lower one, we were offered for free the upper one - very nice gesture 👍 we never slept better - ocean sound and breeze, there is a balcony for each cabana. Super clean, great design, bathrooms are big. Lovely :) The food: Italian base, I had the best pizza ever. Also, we love soup, so their chicken soup is perfect. Staff: amazing. Also, the owners are very fun and welcoming, it was a pleasure to meet them. Activities: the complex is at the ocean front. So we bathed and sun bathed, the weather was amazing. Also, you can learn how to surf, get a massage, play board games, go to safari, go into the lagoon on the beach or by boat, tuktuk to PottuVill, which is much better than Arugam Bay, being more local. I don't have enough good words for this accomodation. I am now looking at options to come back in Jan-Feb and stay for longer than 3 days 😄

Beautiful cabana’s in a quiet and well maintained garden at almost a private bay. Great airco, ice cold private fridge in the room and even a fan on the terrace. Incredible friendly staff. Great food - breakfast jaffles and banana pancakes, curries and noodles for dinner and the delicious milkshakes

Stay Golden has been one of our favourite stays of our entire time in Sri Lanka. Beautiful bungalows/apartments, the sweetest staff (our kids still miss them) and delicous and healthy food available from 8 AM until 9 PM. What we really liked was that there were always several families staying here and that the owners was also pretty much always around with their family, it created a nice and homely vibe in which we felt very welcome. Big thanks to Rihan and Angie and we hope to visit again some day!

The room was very spacious and cosy. There was quite a large fridge, good for cooling water (even 5L bottles). The hotel is close to a nice beach and within walking distance of the tourist centre. There is a shop and very good restaurants nearby.

Beautiful sea views in a peaceful setting. The place feels private and is run by a lovely family who are so welcoming, kind, and accommodating - they really made us feel at home. The location is ideal if you want to be slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Arugam Bay, while still being just an easy walk into the main area. Would highly recommend!

Perfect for a family of four. Easy and short walk to the beach and the main street with all the restaurants. Lovely host! We were in luck that it was available, because people book longer stays once they seen the place. It's a great variety to have the vibrant arugam bay and the sereen stay with this place. We highly recommend! And we stay in touch with Haleem, because we're coming back.

    We, a family of four, had a Great stay in a family unit. Nice staff and facilities, but The Star of The show is The location. You practically live at The beach, but also in The city center. The beach is very clean, and swimming in The waves is fun.

    Location location location - hotel bar is in a beautiful spot right on the beach. Staff are friendly. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Food was good. Note - waves are big here - fantastic for teenagers but small children would need to be further south on the beach for safer swimming.

    the breakfast was just so amazing. I went to bed everynight dreaming of the pancakes. Nalaka is so lovely and funny and made my stay so pleasant, as well as being so helpful with advice and recommendations for amazing restaurants and onward transport. the second half of my stay in Arugam bay Agra was booked out but i found myself coming back everyday to say hi and hang out. the rooms are so gorgeous and clean and the hostel has such a family feel. 100% stay here

    Super clean and excellent location, nice and peaceful at night but a two minute walk onto the Main Street. We got two rooms side by side as a family of four which was perfect. Kids loved the breakfast and we appreciated the good coffee.

    We were so lucky to stumble across Riva del Sole. Bhagya and the staff were amazing in accommodating our last minute booking for a family of four. Our room was spacious, clean and super peaceful amongst the gardens. The staff helped us organise scooters, lagoon safaris and a tuk tuk to go and see elephants. We loved it so much here we booked an extra night. Would highly recommend for families!

    Fowzi made us feel so welcome. He is funny, has a great personality and knew how to talk to teenagers. The 3 of us did surfing lessons with him and "his brother". I am scared of waves and they both made me feel so safe and I was able to stand on my surf board after 3 waves. Very talented teachers! I would highly recommend it. The food was yummy, the location is exceptional, just on the beach and right in the centre of the town. And the views are incredible.

    Lovely small hotel with air conditioned rooms with fridges. Bashir and team made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, in addition to helping with Tuktuks and various questions. Breakfast was excellent and went until 11. We were located at the end of the strip which was perfect for us as we were happy to walk in and wanted to be out of the party scene. Arugam was a fun location with plenty of buzz for our teenagers along with getting in some good surfing.

    Clean and spacious family room incl. AC. Lot of space, everything important was available. Probably one of the best room in that area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food and kitchen was very delicious. Sam was a great surfteacher who helped organizing wonderful trips and surf experience. He cared very much about our family, played with the kids and gave us very cool tips and advice organized cool safari trip and driver to our next destination. Highly recommended!
