Amazing spot, we went to ask to three different places for a room of four. This was the best value for quality- room with small balcony overlooking ocean which is 50m far away and between the beach and room is restaurant/ bar with amazing food and the most humorous people in Sri Lanka!! They make th best jokes out of you when waiting for food and you just laugh and chill!!!

The owner Rachim try and over charge me a couple of times over the price listed in the Internet. After staying there for a week I had to bring police to checkout with original price. The owner said we agreed on a price he invented, probably thought I'm reach and naïve,Wach out! When police came everything was clear to the owner suddenly! Lucky for me. In arugam bay it is always better not pay in advance!

We booked a Lagoon Safari from the owner Rahim. When we got to the boat place they told us the ticket is invalid and that we should pay again...
We went back to the Surf Resort to ask for a refund. but Rahim refused to give it to us.
We had to call the police!!!
We do not recommend booking there anything and be very careful about paying in advance for whatever you reserve...

We had a simple family room for our famly of five. The room was located directly at the beach with incredible sea view. Staff is nice and friendly. Food is only average. Hang out area is nice and layed back. They offer surfing classes and surfboards for rent. Only negative thing was the booking over Tripadvisor. We booked the Arugam Bay Surf Resort but got confirmation for Pacific Hotel Arugambay with a much higher rate (90 USD) than offered directly, We had to stay there one night before we could check in to the right resort. No refunds yet...

Room tip: Family room is located directly at the water edge

We stayed here for 2 weeks and it was really nice here! The staff is very friendly and help whenever you need them. The Hotel ist central and the restaurant is good!
It ws also clean when we arrived.
They have also a good laundry service.
If you want to do a tour or you need the transfer shuttle to the airport, the dtsff will manage it.
Thank you arugam bay surf resort!
