    Surf Bay Resort is perfectly located in the heart of Arugam Bay, making it convenient to explore all the nearby amenities. The hotel is right on the main street, ensuring that everything you need is easily accessible. The staff at this hotel are extremely friendly and provide excellent service, ensuring that your needs are met. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay. I especially appreciated the option of rooms with air conditioning, which made a significant difference during my stay.

    All was top-notch, nothing to improve!

    This place was a great find! The rooms were clean, modern and spacious. I loved the fact that there was a nice big shower with a powerful showerhead. The location was amazing, we could walk to all the local restaurants and shops easily. Plus, the staff were so friendly and helpful, they gave us great advice for what to do in the area, and even arranged a driver for us at a reasonable price.

    Honestly, there weren't any major downsides to this place. The only thing I would mention is that the WiFi wasn't always the strongest, but we were so busy enjoying ourselves that we didn't really need it that much anyway.

    This hotel is great value for money, with affordable prices and attention to detail. The location is unbeatable, situated on the main street in the center of Arugam Bay, just a minute away from the beach and all the amenities. The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean and well-maintained, with the added bonus of air conditioning. The breakfast options are varied and offer more than what you pay for.

    All aspects of this hotel were satisfactory.

    We loved our stay here! The hotel is clean and has great facilities. It's situated right on the Main street, so everything was close by - restaurants, shops, and the beach is just opposite! The staff was super friendly and helpful with everything we needed.

    Didn’t dislike anything about the hotel or our experience in this city.

The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. The rooms are clean and come with air conditioning, providing a comfortable experience.

    We had an amazing stay in a modern hotel on the center of the main street. the location was perfect, within walking distance to the best restaurants, and just a short walk from the beach. the staff were incredibly attentive and helpful, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We especially appreciated the powerful AC and comfortable beds. Breakfast was good and offered a choice of options. We also enjoyed the mosquito nets, which kept pesky insects at bay.

    The price was a bit higher than we expected.

    The hotel is in a good location with comfortable beds and a powerful AC. the atmosphere is great and the team is really nice and helpful when we had a medical issue.

    This hotel is far from being a resort. We faced an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom drains during our 3-night stay.
