The Bavarian Resort

Perfect

Reviewed By MT091986

We have stayed at 3 places in A Bay and this was the best! Clean, comfortable rooms with instant hot water and new AC units. Hammocks to relax in. Faizel the owner is extraordinarily helpful and friendly. He makes a good breakfast and an incredible dinner of hummus, falafel and salad. Ask him about it! A few minutes walk to the Main Street and Main Point. Highly recommended.

Alaia Resort

Superb location, spacious, lovely rooms with either lagoon or sea views, high standards throughout

Reviewed By gdp12obr

The hotel is located a few minutes walk from the main surf beach - you just have to cross the road and walk through a field adjoining the lagoon. Safety cannot be better since there is a Security forces detachment across the road. The owner, a retired senior Air Force Officer, lives in the hotel, maintains very high standards and knows the area and the whole of Sri Lanka intimately. Great rooftop entertainment space which overlooks both sea and lagoon, ideal for sundowners while listening to the surf pounding the beach. Highlight of my visit was a camping trip organised very professionally by the hotel to Kumana National Park. In addition to all the usual wildlife I saw 3 leopards during the evening and morning game drive. Camping by a river in the middle of the jungle, with a campfire cooking delicious BBQ'd food and a brilliant star filled night sky overhead is to be very highly recommended.

Clean room and outside area. Friendly owner. 30 metres of the ocean. 10 metres of the main road with cafes. I recommend this hotel and east side of the island. Better then south coast, I think. GottaGoHome

We enjoyed very much and nice staff and food. Room rates are attractive, close to the beach. Easy access to sight seeing such as Elephant Rovk which is amazing and close to Muhudu Maha Viharaya too. Owners of the hotel are very kind and helpful.

The Surf Access Beach Resort

Wonderful stay!

Reviewed By sagacolling

This place is amazing! I stayed at the surf access guest house for four nights with my three friends, and we really enjoyed it. I couldn’t imagine a better location, right at the beach and close to everything. The room we stayed in also offered a beautiful balcony with a view over the sea. They offered very tasty breakfast for a good price, as well as lunch and dinner. The restaurant also had a beautiful location on the beach. The staff is so helpful and very service minded. If you go to Arugam Bay I truly recommend this place to everyone.

Please read carefully

Reviewed By Sunny F

Arrived at 23:30. Watch it on booking. Written on booking 24 hour reception but the place was closed. We woke up the person. I asked for a room that I saw on line. Although no one staying in the rooms due to covid 19 , he took me driving 5 min from that place . There he told me no internet and no AC when on line all the rooms are with this servis. Now the price. The person asked for more then 5 times the price on booking and slowly got to double price. On top of this with a wery bad attitude sent me to find another place . When I told him that this is not good and not what is written on booking, after some time I saw that those rooms were not available anymore. So I can not write review on booking.. be careful choose your place wisely
