We enjoyed our stay at the beach bungalows here. We came during off season and they cleaned the pool for us and we had the beachfront bungalow. The breakfast was really good! However, this hotel also operates a liquor store that runs 24/7 right in the middle of the guest rooms so at all hours of the day there were people walking through to buy alcohol (during breakfast time even) and then would sit down on the premises to consume their purchases. As two young travellers it was not a huge deal but if you are a family it might not be the space for you!

We wanted to stay one night and on the end stayed 5 nights. What a little gem. We had a bungalow with seaview. The bungalow was very clean and spacious. Kovi the manager, was looking after his guests second to none, always checking that everything is to our satisfaction. The hotel is very well situated with direct access to the beach and close to the village. We highly can recommend this place.

Clean and comfortable room. Friendly staff and excellent location. Restaurant and bar gets so busy at peak hours but staff were attending the clients promptly. Ideal place for a traveller looking for a relaxing hotel to stay overnight and enjoy the area.

The location of the hotel is really good, it has good air condition on the rooms, a nice big pool with a view but really bad and instable wifi at the rooms, no breakfast included, a nasty shower and a nasty carpet floor. The matress was hard but okay. All in all not worth its price but a better option compared to the other hotels when going to arugambay.
