    We loved our stay at this beachfront hotel. The location was perfect, with sunbeds right on the beach. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our needs were met. The accommodation had a nice swimming pool and the hotel had a great surf-vibe.

    We felt at home and had nothing to complain about.

    The rooms at The Bay are absolutely amazing! They are super cozy and comfortable, with everything you need for a perfect beach vacation. The air conditioning keeps you cool, while the flat-screen TV and free WiFi provide entertainment. The minibar and kettle are great for enjoying your favorite drinks, and the private bathroom is clean and spacious. Plus, the balcony offers a great view of the beach. as someone who loves being near the ocean, I couldn't have asked for a better room!

    Although the rooms were fantastic, I personally found the bidet a bit unnecessary. But hey, that's just my opinion and I'm sure others might appreciate it.

    Location: the hotel was next to the center of Arugam bay and the restaurant and the sea. The room was cozy and brand-new, complete with great shower as well as all facilities.

    Wi-Fi was very poor, made me a little nervous.

    The hotel is ideally located right on the beach, providing breathtaking views of the ocean. Guests have praised the friendly and helpful staff, who go above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and orthopaedic pillows for a good night's sleep. Guests also appreciate the amenities at the hotel, including the saltwater pool sourced from an underground spring. The food is top-notch, with fresh ingredients and unique flavors, making dining a truly enjoyable experience.

    While the pool could be a great asset, some guests have mentioned that it was not properly cleaned upon arrival.

    Stayed at a super hotel in Arugam Bay, with a perfect location at the beach. Loved the sunbeds at the front, giving us a great spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. The hotel had a lovely surf-vibe and was nicely decorated. Being in the middle of the area with shops and restaurants was convenient. The room was very clean and the service was excellent. Special thanks to Mohammed in the kitchen, who provided attentive service. The food was tasty and delicious. Our room on the 3rd floor had a fantastic balcony with a super view of the ocean and the beach. a very good hotel stay in a reasonable price range. The management of the hotel was also great and we really enjoyed the open restaurant close to the beach. Would highly recommend this beautiful hotel to both locals and foreigners. Thank you to everyone!

    Nothing, it was perfect! 🌟

    Clean and Comfortable Rooms: The rooms at The Bay were spotless, making for a truly pleasant stay. It felt like walking into a pristine oasis after a long day of exploring.

    Limited Beverage Options: The only minor issue I encountered was the lack of coffee and tea in the rooms. A small inconvenience, but a simple addition that would have made a big difference.
