Arugam Bay Vacations from AED2,170

This is a beautiful property nestled inside the jungle on a mountain slope and we had stunning views of the ocean from our plunge pool suite. However, the food was atrociously bad. They had limited menu, which is alright but the quality was horrible. The included breakfast was made to order, when my wife ordered pancakes, they brought us cold pancakes prepared much earlier. Same with the fresh cut fruits. Next day we went outside for breakfast as we had our own vehicle. We wanted to utilize the Spa service and asked them the day before. They don't have any inhouse staff for spa. But they couldn't arrange anyone from outside. Imagine, they have "Spa" in their name! The wifi was a bit patchy. We didn't utilize the pool(it is a small pool) as it was raining most of the time during our stay.

Friendly service and great souvenir

Staff is amazing and Upul ( restaurant) and Tamara ( lifeguard) were exceptional

Stunning views from this mountainside property but is a long and winding drive to get there although this only takes around 15 mins from Kandy town. The rooms are in small blocks of 4 and set apart. Lovely buffet restaurant.
