Friendly owners and staff, clean and super yummy food!!

10.0

Kind staff. Yummy food. Clean rooms. Pool. Sound healing and yoga classes onsite.

The only small recommendation would be for the length of bed to be bigger as I am 6 ft. Comfortable bed but just a little too short. Not a big thing though.

Hele fijne en schone cabanas, precies groot genoeg voor ons gezin (twee volwassenen en twee kinderen). Locatie is perfect: aan het strand en net buiten het (te) drukke gedeelte van Arugam Bay (met een Tuktuk ben je overal binnen 5-10 minuten). Kleinschalig en daardoor persoonlijk opgezet, wat wij erg fijn vinden. In het gemeenschappelijke (horeca) gedeelte hangt een hele fijne en ontspannen sfeer. De menukaart is uitstekend, we hebben daardoor meerdere keren gegeten en geluncht bij het hotel zelf. En last but not least: heel mooi en vooral groot zwembad! Onze kinderen vonden dit fantastisch.

Rustig, maar toch dichtbij het centrum. Ruime keuze op menukaart, lekker eten en sapjes. Wij vonden het zwembad een meerwaarde om af te koelen. Er is gedacht aan details, zoals een strandtas met handdoeken, een extra vergrootspiegel in de badkamer, een kom water aan de ingang van de kamer om het zand van je voeten af te wassen en stopcontacten met Europese stekker. Wij hebben de safari in Kumana gedaan, boottocht in mangrove (vonden we minder interessant) en surfen via accomodatie.

Op zich was alles goed. Airco (in cabana) had moeite om te kamer te koelen, maar was voldoende als je deze heel de dag liet draaien. Basic inrichting van (bad)kamer. Zee aan de accomodatie was erg wild, maar 15min verder (te voet) kon je surfen. Surfspot was erg druk.

Stay Golden was excellent!! The rooms are spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. We were in a bungalow which felt very private, and we enjoyed the use of our own hammock and swing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant had an extensive menu and everything was yum. An easy walk into town, or the staff could organise a TukTuk and the property is right on the beach (although not a swimming beach). A laundry service was available for a small fee. Pool and beach towels were provided and changed daily. We loved our stay here and would definitely choose Stay Golden again.

In the bungalow the bathroom is separated by a curtain and not a door. Not a negative but something to be aware of.

המיקום מעולה. רחוק במידה סבירה מכל העמולה של ארוגם. המקום נקי מאוד בכל יום מסדרים את החדר ומנקים את הכל. הצוות מאוד נחמד ואדיב

הזרם מיים במקלחת ובכיור מאוד חלש אבל זה בהחלט נסבל ביחס למקום.
