    For the price we paid, our stay at Arugambay Podbay was definitely worth it. The room was nice and the air conditioning worked great. The location right on the beach was fantastic, and the staff treated us well.

    The breakfast selection could have been better, maybe with more variety in the dishes offered.

    We absolutely loved our recent stay at Arugambay Podbay. The pool was fantastic and the location was perfect, just a short walk to the beautiful beach. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensured all our needs were taken care of. The room was clean and comfortable, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel.

    Despite the positive aspects, we did encounter a slight issue with the Wi-Fi connection, but it didn't hinder our overall experience at Arugambay Podbay. The staff quickly addressed the problem and did their best to resolve it.

    Located on the beach with great access to bars and restaurants. Breakfast included a choice of Sri Lankan or continental options and was tasty. The pool was a nice asset and staff were friendly.

    Rooms were worn and furniture was outdated. The AC wasn't functioning properly and there was an infestation of ants.

    Great location at the beach, many good restaurants nearby, clean facilities and friendly staff. The hotel is very close to the beautiful stretch of sand at Arugam Bay. The breakfast was good and the staff went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable.

    Nothing, no complaints at all.

    Located right on the beach, this hotel boasts a great spot for soaking up the sun and enjoying a swim in the pool. Our room had a fantastic ocean view and the staff were very helpful in arranging activities nearby. the breakfast was well-prepared and offered both local and continental options.

    The cleanliness of the room left something to be desired, with mold in the bathroom and outdated linens.
