    I truly enjoyed this friendly hotel during my one-night stay. the staff was super outstandingly accommodating and motivated. the room I booked was kept clean, had air conditioning, and offered nice views. the location was favorable, approximately a 10-15 minutes' walk from an expansive public park. the venue had a great restaurant with delicious food. the hotel offered amazing prices.

    The room at East Beach Surf Resort was cozy and inviting, with a comfortable seating area and a private bathroom. It felt like my own little home away from home. As a laid-back traveler, I really appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and the cozy vibes of the room.

    Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the air conditioning in the triple room. Others might enjoy it, but I found it a bit too cold for my liking.

    I had initially planned to stay for just a day, but I ended up extending my stay for a week at this amazing place. The rooms were incredibly clean and comfortable. The staff were like friends, always helpful and sweet. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and comfortable. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from the beach and close to everything. I will definitely stay here again in the future. highly recommended!

    Great location and helpful staff

    The hotel was located in a prime location near the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the ocean view. the staff were very accommodating and went above and beyond to help us. They even organized amazing tours for us that allowed us to see the city's greatest attractions. The price for our stay was also reasonable and we received good value for what we paid.

    The quality of the room was quite poor. " The lack of hot water and limited WIFI added to our disappointment.

    The room at East Beach Surf Resort was perfect for our family. It had a cozy seating area where we could unwind after a long day of exploring Arugam Bay. We loved that the guestrooms had free WiFi, so we could easily stay connected with our friends and family back home. Each room was beautifully decorated, making us feel right at home during our stay. The availability of free WiFi and a washing machine in the rooms was a huge bonus for us. It was convenient to have a kettle in the room, so we could enjoy a hot cup of tea whenever we wanted. The bathroom in our room was spacious and had a refreshing shower. The triple room we stayed in had air conditioning, which made our nights comfortable. The private entrance in the triple room added an extra level of privacy for our family.

    Personally, we didn't need the free washing machine in the room as we prefer to travel light. However, we understand that others may find it useful.

    The guys at this hotel are incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They arranged surf lessons and transportation for us, making it a hassle-free vacation. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with hot showers and spacious layouts. Plus, the location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach. We also loved the breakfast options, which were delicious and satisfying. this hotel provided great value for money and attention to detail, ensuring a memorable stay.

    No improvements needed - everything was perfect!

    I recently stayed at a wonderful hotel in Arugam Bay called East Beach Surf Resort. I was there for a short stay and the location was perfect. It was just a stones throw from the beach and a short Tuk Tuk ride from major restaurants, nightlife, and the main surfing area. The staff were great, always ready to help and create a positive atmosphere. The facility was well maintained with new and comfortable furniture. The food was good, especially the fresh juices for breakfast. it catered to all our needs with a reasonable menu, great WiFi, and a fab laundry service.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.
