Хороший отель и красивая территория

Понравилось всё. Красивая территория, вкусные завтраки. Дружелюбные сотрудники. Чистый бассейн. Высокие потолки в номере и большая ванная комната.

Можно было бы повесить шторку для душа, это пожелание :)

The best resort in Arugam Bay

Everything about this hotel was amazing. We managed to get a very spacious and clean room for a very affordable price, the staff were very considerate, the bathroom was really good . There is a very friendly staff here. They served us delicious food. Nice places in there. Overall, this is an outstanding hotel for a surprisingly affordable price.

Out of order

Nice with omelet and fresh fruit for breakfast

The pool was “out of order” and so was the aircondition in two og our three rooms.

Pleasant

During our stay at the hotel, we encountered a mix of positives and negatives. Unfortunately, the initial room had mold on the walls, and the second room had dampness issues. Additionally, there was no hot water in the rooms, and the Wi-Fi was non-existent, which was a significant inconvenience for us. On a brighter note, the person in charge went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable despite these challenges. Their friendliness, professionalism, and dedication to addressing the issues impressed us. We also found the swimming pool to be a highlight of the hotel, with its design and amenities providing a refreshing experience. However, it's worth noting that the hotel hosts a pool party once a month, which might impact the overall tranquility for guests seeking a quieter stay. Additionally, the hotel's location is not on the main strip, requiring about a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute journey in a tuk-tuk or a motorbike, which the hotel can help organize. The staff's efforts to ensure a positive experience and their openness to feedback demonstrated their commitment to improving the hotel's quality.

The property has lots of potential. I booked my room for the furst 2 nights to have some time to sleep and rest. Also chose it because of the swimming pool which was not clean in my oppinion. So if the pool was well prepared and/or taken care of propperly I think a lot of people would come stay there for the price theyy offer. Room was bug with its own bathroom, so that was actually pretty nice for 20€. It was ok.

Breakfast consists of fresh fruit, omelette, toast tea/coffee. Spacious room with fridge. Air conditioning effective (however loud)

Had to pay cash on arrival (only place in Sri Lanka, always pay at checkout) Wi-fi doesn't work in the bedroom only communal areas. No warm water for shower. No towel (I had to ask for one) one small bar of soap, no other toiletries. No kettle. No other drink offered at breakfast so a problem if you don't drink tea/coffee. I asked for juice & it seemed a problem. Swimming pool water dirty & surrounding areas.

You get what you pay for

Shell Resort was in an okay location, a small walk from town - The beds were super comfortable and the rooms were spacious

The property weren’t aware of our booking, and the rooms needed a bit of a facelift / weren’t the cleanest

The best value for money in Arugam Bay!

This was the best choice of place that we could have made, we are so happy that we chose it, it is just out of the crazy busy strip of hotels and yet close enough to easily get to the beach. the staff are super friendly and helpful! we have extended our stay and will do so again, it was hands down the best choice we made for Arugam Bay, specially with our Toddler who also really enjoyed it

Okay

Caretaker who was at the reception (If I remember correct Sanjeewa) was so helpful. But not the other two persons. Sanjeewa tried his best to keep us happy and was punctual. Breakfast was ready by 5.15am before the Kumana Safari.

On arrival , When asked for late lunch - Due to off-season , Cook was not available and restaurant was closed. Two beer bottles served were so old and contaminated. Sanjeewa had to bring food and beer from outside.

Exceptional

One of the best hotel we have been in Sri Lanka. The personal is welcoming and available. Both western and local breakfast are delicious. You definitely should try the Shell Resort.

It was nice that it was a bit out of town, Arugam Bay is busy and can get noisy at night so this was nice. The bed was super comfy, which is nice after travelling for weeks.

We chose this place because it had a pool but didn't swim at all. First we thought it was just murky (which I really don't mind) but then we saw it had lots of little mosquito looking bugs swimming in it. It was low season and there wasn't many people staying but they should keep it clean.
