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.

The location is perfect, in the centre of Arugam Bay, with many restaurants, spas and beach enterings nearby. The staff was the best - the owner is truly an amazing and helpful person. It's also great that you can rent a board, buy a lesson with a surfing instructor or organise safari trips with the staff in the hotel and the service is always on point. In the room there is everything you may need, there is also a shared kitchen, a clothes dryer and a shower outside which is convenient after surfing or if you want to cool your drinks in the fridge. The room is comfy and very clean (they also do the cleaning every 2 days), and the AC works well, the bed is also big. Would totally recommend :)

Restaurant is excellent and very good value for money. Very good wifi. Staff are very generous and helpful. Much cheaper than a lot of other Arugum bay options.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Whisky Point Resort, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!! A special shoutout to Mufaris and Murthala for their outstanding and precise service—they went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The highlight of our stay was the incredible food and drinks. The iced tea was the best we’ve ever tasted, and the pizza was absolutely divine! Every bite and sip transported us to a place of pure bliss. Whisky Point Resort truly feels like a little paradise nestled within an already paradise-like island. The serene ambiance, combined with the warmth and hospitality of the staff, makes this a must-visit destination. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience. We’ll be back for sure!

It was a lovely break from the hustle and bustle of Arugam Bay. It is quiet and secluded, with surfers in the bay in the afternoons. Long beach walks and relaxing is what you do here. The food is fresh and tasty and reasonably priced too. The staff are friendly and quiet, always tending to the gardens. My room had a lovely 4 poster bed, and a nice patio area for relaxing. I loved my stay here.

Great place to stay in Arugam bay. The rooms are comfortable and clean, they have everything you need A/C, fan, small fridge, internet, hot water, hammock. The location is at the beggining of Arugam, but conveniently near the beach as well as the best local place to eat in A -bay. But the best of all are the hostess Nisha and her brother who really make you feel welcome and at ease, ready to chat as well as help with everything-from surf classes, scooter rental, mini safari, transport. Always with smile on their faces despite the hard work they do. Thanks for making our stay so memorable! The new owner is also nice.
