Where do I start? One of the best experiences of our lives throughout. So, me and 2 of my friends were travelling for a long weekend getaway and you won't believe the hospitality and the perfection of this property. Truly something to be rewarded and justified!
Me and my friends had quite a dilemma when we were booking the place for our trip. But, man oh man did it turn out well!
So, our booking was from Saturday to Monday which means Saturday check in, Saturday night, Sunday night - Monday check out.
Now, this weekend was a long weekend and everyone was travelling.
We are locals travelling from Colombo to Arugam Bay and we didn't have transportation sorted out for us. Our vehicles were being used over the weekend and we had to use the public transport. There is no train to Arugam Bay from Colombo as far as we researched but there are buses. The buses were booked too. We somehow managed to get seats. The buses operate at night which means you board in Colombo around 7 PM and you land in Arugam Bay at around 4 - 4:30 AM. This is the daily route for the bus. So, if we want to get there Saturday - we must get there Saturday early morning at 4.
We just booked that bus and we were on our way to Arugam Bay Friday night
So, it all starts with the host.
Since, I booked and my number is on the booking. I got a call from a random number. I didn't answer cause I was travelling and my phone was on silent. It seems like I had missed calls from the same number. I just ignored it and kept travelling.
After a while of listening to music, I just got an instinct to call this number (a good gut feeling).
I called and it was a nice gentleman named 'Roshan' from the hostel and he was asking me what time I will arrive. I told him around 4. He asked me if I am coming by bus or train (seems like trains operate) haha. I said bus and he said, "
'NO PROBLEM. ONCE YOU ARRIVE, JUST COME IN TO THE HOSTEL AND SLEEP ON YOUR BEDS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️

The property is non-smoking and is located 500 metres from Arugam Bay Beach. It had only just opened its doors and we were met with the warmest welcome from the manager who couldn’t do enough for us. Always went out of his way to accommodate us - sharing extra phone data with us, allowing late check - out due to work commitments, updating us to the air-con room because the fan room was under renovations but with no extra charge. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you so so much

Cute resort hidden amongst a beautiful garden. The rooms are spacious and have AC which is important in the hot conditions in Aragum Bay. The pool was big enough but could have been a little colder. Great location amongst all the main restaurants but also had its own cafe which served barista made coffee. The staff were very attentive and kind. The manager (whose name I forget but he wore glasses) was very welcoming, helpful and spoke fluent English. Tried the new spa massage which was very relaxing and relatively cheap.
My stay here was super smooth, the room is exactly as described. It is a slightly more budget option, so it was exactly what I expected it would be. I found everything to be super clean. The owner is really friendly and seems to really care about his guests, I was super comfortable staying there. The breakfast is really nice and much cheaper than other options in the area, I had the impression the owner cares about being fair to his guests and I appreciated it. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet.
