    Our stay at this beachside hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean, spacious, and had comfortable beds. The bathrooms were also spacious and had good showers. The location of the hotel was amazing, right on the beach and close to bars, shops, and restaurants. It was the perfect base for exploring the town and enjoying the beautiful beach.

    The food at the hotel was decent, but slightly overpriced. It would have been nice to have more affordable options.

    I keep coming back to this place because it has everything I need: free Wi-Fi, free parking, 24-hour reception, restaurant, snack bar. The staff even helped me with my elderly parents. Can't wait to return for Easter!

    I absolutely loved the cozy and welcoming atmosphere of the hotel's decoration. The warm color scheme and comfortable furniture made me feel right at home. The general areas of the hotel, including the garden and terrace, were beautifully maintained and provided a peaceful setting for relaxation. As a senior person, I appreciated how accessible the hotel was. The staff were always available to assist with any needs and ensure a comfortable stay for guests like me.

    My only suggestion for a better vacation for senior people would be to provide more handrails and grab bars in the bathrooms and staircases. This would greatly improve safety and mobility for us.

    I absolutely loved my stay at Sandy Beach in Arugam Bay. The location was perfect, right on the beautiful sandy beach. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a view of the beach from the balcony. The host, Hussan, was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious and the open-air restaurant had a stunning view of the ocean. The staff were friendly and always available to assist.

    Can't think of anything.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, right on the beach, and the view from the open-air restaurant was breathtaking. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. The rooms were super clean and comfortable, providing a relaxing environment after a long day. The breakfast served was delicious, and I appreciated that they accommodated special requests. I couldn't have asked for a better beachfront experience.

    The only downside was that there were no tea and coffee facilities in the rooms.

    The staff, especially Hassan, were super cool and always had our backs. The beach right in front of the hotel was lit for windsurfing and diving - we had the sickest time trying out these activities! Plus, the location was perfect, just a short walk to the happening spots in Arugam Bay. Can't wait to go back for more epic adventures!

    The only thing we wished for was a banging party scene at the hotel. It would have been awesome to have some sick parties with all the young peeps staying there.
