    The hotel was a perfect base for enjoying a perfect area, close to the airport, Arugam Bay and other beaches for surfing. I liked impeccably clean and budget room with sea views. Having a bidet, a walk-in shower, and fresh towels was a bonus. The location was beautiful, within a close distance from Cliffe High Street.

    The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the cook was very accommodating. I loved how they had a variety of options to choose from and everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. The location of the hotel was ideal, with easy access to a safe swimming area and close proximity to the town center. It was also great to have historical attractions nearby, like the Vihara Maha Devi landing and the statues on the beach. The atmosphere at the hotel was really friendly and the host made us feel so welcomed with his warmth and personality.

    That there was no hot water shower available. Although it wasn't a major issue, it would have been nice to have a hot shower, especially after a long day at the beach.

    Clean rooms and well-equipped. Great location right on the beach - easy access to the best part of the beach. Friendly staff and owner - who goes above and beyond to make your stay amazing. Breakfast was delicious and the cook was accommodating. Private beach - so no need to worry about crowds.

    Totally recommend.

    The rooms at Feel The Waves are really cozy and comfortable. I loved the way the rooms were decorated with a simple yet elegant style. The desk in every room was really handy for me as I had some work to do during my stay. The views from the balcony and patio were absolutely stunning!

    Personally, I didn't enjoy the fireplace in the double room. I felt like it was unnecessary and took up too much space.

    We felt right at home from the moment we arrived at Feel The Waves. The brand new rooms were immaculate and located right on the beach. Starting each morning with a fresh breakfast with our toes in the sand was an absolute delight. The beach in front of FW Steakhouse was perfect for swimming. It truly was the best accommodation and experience we had during our trip in Sri Lanka. If you're hesitating to book, do yourself a favor and go for it! You won't regret it.

    Despite the negative experience mentioned in one of the reviews, we had a pleasant stay at Feel The Waves. The wifi worked well, allowing us to stay connected throughout our trip.

    The value for money at Feel The Waves was excellent, and the room was clean and well-equipped with a comfortable bed. The hotel's location right on the beach and close to restaurants on the main road was perfect. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always going above and beyond to fulfill every request.

    The breakfast offerings could be improved with a wider variety of options.

    I recently stayed at a fantastic hotel in Arugam Bay for a few nights. The location was unbeatable, right on the beach with stunning views. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel like part of their family. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, and the breakfast was delicious. The owner went above and beyond to make sure my stay was perfect, organizing surfing lessons and even a safari for me. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning.

    Totally recommend this hotel.
