The hotel is absolutely new. Our room was spacious, fresh, and very clean, with a nice and well-maintained bathroom. If I ever visit Arugam Bay again, I would definitely stay here again — out of all the hotels in this price range, this one is the best! The hotel is run by a very polite and kind family who made us feel welcome. The location was excellent — on the main road, within walking distance to cafes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and just a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride to the beach, but you can also walk to it (20 minutes) It was quiet at night, and we had a very peaceful stay. There’s also a lake next to the hotel, where elephants sometimes come to drink — a beautiful sight to witness. All guest rooms are located on the second floor. They also plan to open a restaurant soon on the ground floor.

Owner and the staff are very kind people, full of joy and thoughtful. We spent the evening chatting together. They offer us the dinner and gave the best room since we were the only guests. Very good price, close to beach and authentic with hammock and coconut. Perfect for relaxing in the nature. Super recommended.

Would you like to experience paradise? We did! Eco Aloevera Garden is a place where you may see see the beautiful empty beaches, wonderful sea landscape and such a unique atmospere! Great place to visit out of the tourist season - which we did, March was great choice. The owner and stuff soooo friendly, meeting all the needs. Local meals provided based on our preferences, so delicious! Great clean, cosy little houses in shady garden filled with beautiful palm trees. We just live it all :)

This place is a "pearl in the rough" ! It was like being in Bali twenty years ago with all it's rustic charm and eating the best Italian food out of Italy ! The owners could not do enough....the staff were friendly yet efficient. I celebrated a birthday there with a cake and beach bonfire....sublime ! And, a rarity, saw a beautiful Leopard on safari. Best birthday in 65 years !

Location at the lonely beach near Pottuvil Point was beautiful and also way less crowded with the surrounding farmlands. Chilled hide-out compared to party-tourism at Arugam Bay main beach. We’ve even seen an elephant at Pottuvil Point. Staff and manager were super friendly, extremely helpful and took care that the place felt like home - and hands-down: best hotel food in our entire Sri Lanka round travel - looking forward to receiving your Dhal receipe :)

When we arrived we were greeted by Mr. Iqbal, who is a very friendly person. He explained to us that they were overbooked and we were upgraded to a better room, free of charge. The location is perfect, just a few meters from the beach. In the same alley on the main road there is a small local restaurant with delicious food and the best prices in town (on google maps - Bite for break, otherwise restaurant's name is Manha Restaurant). Mr. Iqbal was very helpful, and he also explained to us the bus connections to our next destination. If you have any problem, you just call him. Also arranges scooter rental for a good price. Breakfast was delicious and varied every day. You can't go wrong booking with them!

Awesome place directly at the beach and away from the main road. Angi and her husband Rihan created an amazing place to relax. They offer a lot of tips to do around the area and are always open for a talk.

    Amazing location next to a beach. Loved resting in a hammock with an ocean view. Everything is clean and nice. Murali cooks really good. His food was very tasty. Uncle Sella and Murali were very helpful and great hosts. In two months we are coming back!

    Since it was far from the city and you were next to the beach, we walked to Whiskey Point to surf. The place is to go to rest for two days away from the noise of Arugam Bay. I love the place and the gay work there.

    A nice cabin right at the beach. There was a strong current. For surfing we had to walk on the beach for half an hour, it was wonderful there. The staff was great. We had great conversations with Raj, he helped us with everything we needed. Even when we had to withdraw money, we were driven back and forth by tuktuk.Morelli cooked delicious breakfasts and dinners for us every day. A very talented chef.Raj provided live music in the evening. All in all, 4 wonderfully relaxing days

    I really loved the location and the beautiful peaceful garden. The bungalows are big and clean. Very peaceful and relaxing place. Whiskey point is 2mn away and the surfing beach Pottuvil point is 15 mn walk away on the beach. The owner organised homecooked dinner by his mother which was delicious.
