Our villa, Sun Goddess was absolutely amazing. My son had the upstairs all to himself with an enormous double bed and we had downstairs. The gardens are the best thing about this place and the staff are so helpful and friendly and even organised a lagoon boat ride and bbq in the dark - very rustic and a great adventure and probably one of my favourite days. Can't recommend this place enough.
Add a pool and it's perfect!

Amazing cabanas set in beautiful tropical gardens, a little oasis just off Arugam Bay high street. We had a meal in the garden and it was the most authentic food we’d had in Sri Lanka! Staff were very friendly and helpful.
It gets very hot, so go for a room with air conditioning if you prefer! Can be a little noisy due to the central location but still lovely.

Location is pretty nice if you want to stay in the center of Arugam, enjoying surf and also the night life.
The staff is really kind and helpful.
We paid 150 € for two « challenging » nights in a cabana’s room. Really expensive for what is it !!!
The room is really old and not really clean. The bed sheets smelled really bad. No sun light in the room and it was really hot even with fan !!!

The hotel gardens are beautiful and well looked after. The room itself was also very nice. However this is all ruined by the owners attitude.
We had a few issues during our stay here. When we arrived we were told that we had to wait to check in to accommodate a late check out (even after telling them we would be arriving at 3pm), we weren't offered anything whilst we waited. After check in, we did not see another staff member for 2 days, there was never anyone at reception. On the 3rd day there was no power all day, when we reported this to staff it seemed to aggravate them. I understand there are often power cuts and this is beyond their control, however all other hotels and bars in the area did have power either through generator or solar. This was our most expensive hotel in Sri Lanka and found it frustrating that we could not have a shower, charge our phones, have a fan in the room, use WiFi etc for a whole day. When I tried to speak to the owner about this he became very angry and aggressive and at one point stormed off whilst I was talking, not given me an opportunity to speak. He also complained about the fact that I was on a discounted rate for the room (they set the prices so how is this my fault?). This situation was really unfortunate as it ruined our stay here and it was completely unnecessary, he could have just apologised for the lack of power or informed us in advance of the power cut.

really unreasonably priced, don’t clean your room, rubbish value for money and empty shower gel/shampoo, don’t offer water on arrival

The cafe shop and traditional Sri Lankan meals.
The cabin was also nice…
And the stuff and people are extremely nice :)
Not enough light in the rooms, and value for money - a little pricey in my opinion
5.0
The location is definitely AMAZING. It's directly across where the beach starts, all nice restaurants and bars are around and it takes 5 min walk to jump with a board to the water. Also if the waves are not great, it cost us around 4000 rupees to get to the Peanut Farm.
The place was obviously being cleaned multiple times a day, the whole complex is stylish (although very wet and dark since it's a jungle) and if you have higher budget for booking the more expensive villas, maybe the experience will be different for you.
They let us keep our luggages there on the last day till like 3 before we moved to another location.
We booked the cheapest accommodation type - the little huts with private bathroom. The bathroom is amazing, partially open, modern and clean. But the room was unfortunatelly very bad. Please change the bedsheets!!! for WHITE ones! Washed-off brown I would expect in a hostel dorm room and it is really the last color i wanna lay in in an accommodation. I really had a problem to lay in there. There were old stains on it and same on the walls and the front roof was so low, that it kept it dark and dump also during the day. The mosquito net was not in the middle but on the wall so it didn't properly reach the far end of the bed, so we havent used it and had a fen on the whole time.
Although the staff tried to be nice, they didn't really know what they are doing. The "restaurant/breakfast place" was very fancy and extremely expensive. We had the "genius" breakfast which they didnt know about and the second day when they realized we dont pay for it, they offered us just a very plain eggs and a black coffee. Definitely better than nothing, but had much better food for lower price that was included in the price while on sri lanka.
The wifi was only in the entrance area, in the huts was a zero signal. And we also asked about laundry which was in the hotels offer too but we've been told they don't do it.

One of the best place in Sri Lanka i’ve been! If you want to escape the tourists and the hectic main road this is the place to be. I came in and already felt in another world. Just a lovely place full of creativity, good energy and nature. After 2 weeks i still discovered new animals and plants. The garden is just WOW. And of course i don’t forget the stuff. Everybody so helpfully and friendly all the time.
