Arazo villa

Arazo Villa has a beautiful garden and sea view - what a great mix! Manoj is super friendly and supportive always there when help is needed. Also his mum is super sweet, cooks great dinner and helped me book a massage that even came to the place. I’m very happy that I stayed the first days after arrival there!

We really enjoyed our stay here. As the reviews say, it is up a steep hill, there are like 3 stages of it it’s quite long and gains in steepness but it didn’t bother us. The views from the balcony are beautiful. The AC worked well. I cannot comment on the hot water as we were always so sweaty we had freezing cold showers anyway. The hosts are lovely and the breakfast plentiful lots of eggs, bread, fruit, tea and coffee. They make it for you fresh it’s not like buffet style. I saw a comment saying the dogs were aggressive but they are NOT. one is very barky but runs away when you come near. It’s a pleasant enough stay.

I would give this hotel 10 if it weren’t for a couple of things regarding the room. There were ants all over our walls. I didn’t mention this to the host because I know in 3 nights there’s not much they could do, I live in Thailand I know ants get in. I wouldn’t have minded as much but by the last night they were IN THE BED. I really didn’t like that. They could try sealing the windows better and the doors as things can just crawl under the doors. The shower didn’t drain well we had to brush the water into the drain every time we showered. I stayed here with my partner and we were provided with two very thin, very small sheets to sleep with. For a double room, a double comforter is ideal. I woke up very cold each night. I think with a few tweaks this could be a 10* stay, and I would stay again but these couple of things were a bit of a deterrent.

The room was spacious and clean. The balcony had good views of Unawatuna Beach. The family that run the place are extremely kind and helpful and the breakfast was good and changed daily.

The dog barked a lot every time a guest came to there rooms.

Nice view and kind staff

Poor interent signal in the room and no mosquito net. Tuk tuk cant come all the way up. There were ants in the room, but probably because the vegetation nearby is lush.
