Warmly greeted with a cold drink by the genial host Iqbal. Invited to treat the place like home including using the kitchen to make tea and coffee. Large, well furnished (amazingly with pegs and shelves!) and very comfortable room with an enormous bathroom and hot water. Fabulous variety of breakfasts throughout our 5 night stay and wide variety of restaurants nearby for lunches and dinner. Good local rates for scooter hire.

We really loved our stay at Aqua Blue! The hostess and her brother make your stay at Arugum-bay the best!! They do everything to give you a pleasant stay and the brother shows you around in the wildlife. He has the best eyes and made us see so much elephants and crocodiles. The sweetest people we met so far in Sri Lanka.

We spent a great week at Apple's place. He's is very kind and helpful, full of good advice. The breakfast is delicious. The place is convenient, super close to the beach and all the restaurants but still in a calm village road. We would definitely come back!

Having been around all of Arugam Bay, i can only believe that this has to be the place, affordability, friendliness and hospitality from the staff was top tier, also love rolling out of bed to straight in the waves, and also feels good to stay at a place where people come wandering from here and there because of the location
