"Bungalow super sympa et atypique. La cuisine est très bonne et fraîche : tout est fait maison sur place. Seul petit manque, il n'y a pas de cocktails. La plage est juste devant les bungalows et pratiquement déserte, hormis quelques cours de surf. De jolies vagues pour s'amuser, avec des planches mises à disposition par l'hôtel. Le bémol : c'est un peu à distance des commerces, il faut prendre un tuk-tuk pour s'y rendre. Un conseil, utilisez l'application PickMe, sinon c'est plus cher — le...

"This property had its pros and its cons.

"There was a problem with our reservation as apparently hotels.com bookings do not transfer over to the hotels system and therefore they had no record of our booking. This meant that they did not have the rooms that we had booked available. The hotel owner/manager was very helpful in finding us different rooms but these were not what had been reserved and meant that we had to separate family members which was not ideal for a week. Other than that the breakfast was good, the rooms were clean and...

Top Mahakalugolla Hotel Reviews

Hotel Alaskabay Arugambay

8/10 Good

"Good hotel overall: good location, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. Areas for improvement: the sink and toilet could be cleaner, and the towels could smell fresher."

Kudah Bay Surf Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly welcome on arrival. Perfect location right on Arugam Beach, walkable to all the beachfront restaurants, and about 5-10 minutes to the high street with plenty more restaurants, bars and shops. Our room was quite basic and small, but perfectly sufficient for 2 people staying a week. Clean, with linen and towels changed every 3 days. Nisha and her brothers are on site at all times and were always helpful with questions or requests, and served delicious breakfasts every morning. They also helped us with laundry. Having the surf school right outside our accommodation was extremely handy. There are a few late night parties at the restaurants next door on Saturdays and Sundays, we got a heads up about this in advance. It didn't bother us much, we enjoyed the music and used earplugs later at night if needed. We shall visit again if we are back in Arugam Bay."

White Pearl Resort
