צוות נחמד, נתנו לנו ארוחת בוקר בחינם כי באנו להרבה לילות
המזרונים והכריות קשים מאוד כמו כן אין שמיכה מתכסים בסדין
צוות ידידותי, נחמד, עושה כמיטב יכולתו כדי לסייע, הסכימו מיד להאריך לנו את שעת הצ׳ק אאוט, למרות שהיה עומס במלון. ממוקם במרכז העניינים, צמוד לבתי קפה ומסעדות. מרחב הליכה של שתי דקות מחוף הים.
Schöner Pool. Gutes Frühstück. Zimmer.
Liegt leider nicht am Strand.
עברנו כמה מלונות וזה אחד המלונות היותר טובים בארוגם, השירות היה מעולה , כל הצוות עוזר בכל מה שצריך .
קצת יקר.
Vriendelijk personeel
De kamer, het ontbijt, het zwembad. Niets is gezellig, niet proper.
Nice pool, good rooms and quiet location with easy off street parking.
Room rate was a bit high compared to other properties in Sri Lanka.
Very good hotel and good staff . We will recommend this hotel
Room is good ,big pool

yes best place arugambay
Locatie was top
Harde bedden, zwembad niet schoon
מקום מעולה, צוות מעולה, אווירה טובה וצעירה המקום הכי טוב בארוגם ביי!
Personeel was enorm vriendelijk.
Het bed had geen dekbed, alleen een dekbedovertrek. Ook was er maar 1 kussen per persoon. Verder werkte de airconditioning niet, we werden naar een andere kamer geplaatst maar ook daar werkte de airconditioning niet.
Sehr nettes und bemühtes Personal, sehr gute Lage, sauberes großes Zimmer mit Terrasse.
Das einzige ist der Pool. Dieser ist zwar sehr groß jedoch kann man ihn nicht nutzen. Das Wasser ist sichtlich schmutzig inklusive toten Fliegen.
Personeel erg vriendelijk, airco was 2e dag kapot en hebben zonder problemen een nieuwe kamer gekregen. Daarnaast erg goed ontbijt! Ook alles in de buurt, dus op loopafstand te doen
Absolutely nothing
Nothing to like about the property
The staff is very friendly and helpful. Some of the food is really tasty, however others were bland.
The rooms lack many facilities for the price. I think the place is extremely overpriced.
מקום מרכזי עובדים מקסימים וטובי לב
מלון מאוד פשוט נוסח אכסנייה בחדרים
This is a good hotel! The bed was hard, but we were comfortable enough and had everything we needed.
Perhaps slightly dated, but still totally fine!
Vlotte regeling bij technische problemen zoals defecte of slecht afgestelde airco. Heel vriendelijke medewerkers, zelfs de manager. Waren geïnteresseerd in ons. Zeer rustig in het hotel
Zou toch op onze kamer een opfrisbeurt mogen hebben. Bediening in restaurant kon wat vlugger. Niet alle medewerkers begrijpen Engels maar met Google Translate is het haalbaar
Bed was comfy. Decent breakfast. The guy in the pool bar/breakfast area was very attentive. A short walk to the beach. Enjoyed the BBQ fish at the Wave restaurant with a 10% discount. Air con and fan in the room.
Hotel in general is a little run down but adequate for the price and our requirements
Everything

I recently stayed at The Blue Wave Hotel in Arugam Bay and had a fantastic experience. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful and always ready with a smile. I really enjoyed the swimming pool area—it was clean and a great place to relax after exploring the beach. Overall, it’s a great place for comfort, service, and value. Highly recommended!”
Such a refreshing place.The team treats you like family, the rooms feel cozy and modern, and everything just flows smoothly. A stay that genuinely lifts your mood. Loved it.❤️
Loved my time at Blue Wave Arugambay. The team was super friendly and always ready to assist. The room was tidy and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was very relaxing. Highly recommended
Our stay at The Blue Wave Hotel was fantastic. It’s a wonderful place for families, with a peaceful environment and excellent facilities. The staff were kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The room was spacious and spotless, and everything was perfectly arranged for a comfortable stay. We will definitely return and recommend it to friends and family.
The Blue Wave Hotel is one of the best places I’ve stayed in the area. The rooms are well-maintained, the food is tasty, and the housekeeping team does an outstanding job. The hotel offers great value for the price, and the staff go above and beyond to make sure guests have a pleasant experience. Highly recommended!
Swimming pool ,room,meals,location,service,staff
Nothing
Not worth the money
Basic hotel and very expensive
It’s not a Hotel. It’s a Hostel. Doesn’t worth the rate. There are much better places
מקום פשוט מתחת לכל ביקורת, מלון יקר ותמורה נמוכה מאד. מים במקלחת בקושי היו. לא ממליצה בכלל
הכל! חדרים קטנים, מקלחת מגעילה, הפסקות חשמל, מים בקושי יוצאים
Functional and good location - good restaurant.
Die Lage und der Billardraum.
Das Zimmer war zu vereinbarten Zeit nicht fertig zum Beziehen. Einige Ameise und Käfer im Zimmer
excellent stay at the Blue wave, staff were friendly, attentive and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Breakfast was delicious and the pool was a nice way to get away from the heat. Def recommend staying here.
L’emplacement
Le rapport qualité prix. Les prestations ne sont pas à la hauteur du prix et les nuits sont bien trop chères. La piscine est impraticable car elle est sale et trouble. De plus, le lit était vraiment confortable à cause d’un matelas quasi inexistant et très fin. Cela ne vaut pas le prix.
Fantastic location and great staff.
The property was a bit run down and needed some maintenance.
Greeted with a cool cloth and a drink as we arrived. Kind and attentive staff. Kumar was very informative and welcoming. The accommodation is beautiful, huge and really clean. Private pool is excellent too. Had a lovely dinner too after the safari. Would stay here again.
Nothing
Goed hotel met groot zwembad dichtbij strand. Niet zo heel sfeervol gelegen. Eten was ok. Vriendelijk personeel..
Erg duur
Staff were great, pool was clean. Good location close to restaurants and shops. Quick tuk tuk to the beach
Location, and size of the room - served ice when asked..
Breakfast - no instructions Cleaning - didn't happen in 4 days, ran out of toilet paper No hair drier / Iron Cleaning was super expensive Someone opened an adjourning room to look at us awkwardly (minimal security)
Blue Wave 10/10 Our expectations of Arugam Bay were pretty flat. As we took the turn off of the main road up to the hotel, we gave each other a nervous glance as the area between the main road and the hotel is pretty rundown, however as the driver turned into the hotel reception area, ww felt immediately at ease. The hotel is large with a decent size swimming pool and restaurant area (although the restaurant area was mainly used for breakfast only). The room was clean, spacious and functional with everything you need. There are viewing balconies at L2 as well as a rooftop terrace area where you can watch the sunrise. but what really made this hotel such a special experience was the staff. Chamara and the team really went the extra to make sure that everything was done perfectly. Whenever we had a question or a request the team were there to assist (Chamara very knowledgeable about Sri Lankan history and great for travel Tips). The location is also superb. You are literally a 1min walk away from the main strip and a 2min walk from the beach. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay at the hotel longer as we had to move on due to full occupancy. Overall, highly recommended.
El hotel esta en muy buen estado; limpio,acogedor y con todo lo que necesitas.El buffet del desayuno muy bueno. Muy recomendable.
Hicimos uso del gimnasio y este se encuentra con falta de matenimiento.
This hotel located close to the beach. Beach is few minutes away on foot. Rooms were clean, spacious and had all amenities needed. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had string hoppers for breakfast and it was delicious. Parking avaliable in front of the hotel. Overall stay was good and can be recommended.
Maintance is low. AC and safety deposit box had issues.
I had an amazing experience at Blue Wave Arugambay! The room was spacious, super clean, and had everything I needed—AC, mini fridge, TV, and a comfortable bed. The pool was a real highlight—clean and perfect to relax after a day at the beach. What really made my stay special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially at the front desk. They helped arrange tuk-tuks, gave great local tips, and always greeted with a smile. The location is also ideal—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants and surf spots. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Arugambay. Great value for money. Would 100% stay again!
I recently stayed at Blue Wave Arugambay Hotel, and I had an amazing experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Their warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The service throughout my stay was top-notch – very professional and efficient. Every request was handled with a smile, and the team truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable. The food at the hotel was delicious and fresh every day. There were a variety of options to choose from, and everything was prepared with care. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I was always impressed by the quality and taste. The pool was another highlight of my stay. It was very clean, well-maintained, and quite large, making it perfect for swimming or just relaxing by the water. It added so much to the peaceful and enjoyable atmosphere of the hotel. The rooms were also comfortable, clean, and beautifully designed with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Overall, Blue Wave Arugambay is the perfect place to stay if you’re visiting Arugam Bay. Whether you’re traveling for surfing, relaxing, or exploring the area, this hotel offers excellent value, great service, and a truly memorable experience. I will definitely come back again!
The pool needs to be cleaned
The ONLY thing we liked about the property were the beds, they were comfortable and clean.
Everything, apart from the above! The place was just dirty, the table at breakfast, the pool chairs, the pool itself was murky which was worrying! The breakfast, arrived at the table told no SL breakfast available only western. When it came apart from the fruit & pancakes the rest was inedible. The so called western breakfast was odd, mash potato? Stir fry? And what was expected on the breakfast, chicken sausage and beans were both fridge cold and the eggs were raw!!! We obviously didn’t eat it! The tea & coffee were also disgusting, undrinkable! At check out we complained and asked to not be charged for the breakfast, at first they said we must pay for the whole breakfast, we refused, they then just insisted on us paying for the juice, fruit & pancakes, which we did, just to leave this experience behind! Literally no idea of customer satisfaction/service! We have travelled all over Sri Lanka and never experienced anything like this, by far the worst experience we’ve had at a hotel anywhere in the world!
Seems it’s one and only hotel in Arugam Bay between hostels and guesthouses. Not a brand new, but stiin good condition and good maintained. Special thanks to Thilina for his help and support
Staff aome were lovely, bug clean pool, big room
Air con failed at night, 3men walking through the room chatting while trying to sleep (i get it they were trying to fix it) stayed the night elsewhere, we were not given anything for the inconvenience, we did not eat breakfast there as restaurant staff were non existent, again still haf to pay, inconvenience leaving my bag there 1.5hrs after checkout. Do not have half the facilities they promise (sauna, spa service, gym, no pool table Very overated and over priced. Much better places with an easy vibe and better facilities around Non existent hot water, scarce warm water
Big room, big clean pool, door locked well, friendly staff
Hardly ever hot/warm water, pillows thick lumpy, bed hard, sheet isnt enough, no shade at the pool, gym didnt work, no pool table/spa/sauna like stated, drinks or food would take min 30min, foot rinse did t work, didnt have warm chill vibe
Pool is very good. Breakfast is not up to value. Room is ok but need to be more clean there was a cockroach.
Variety of breakfast
The staff was amazing - always very friendly and helpful. For my birthday they were so kind to offer a cake and when returning to our room after breakfast I found a happy birthday writing with flowers. Thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness!
The gym is very old and not working
We came to Blue Wave, for its location, close to the main area, with restaurants within walking distance. The hotel itself is very welcoming. Lovely grand entrance, beautiful gardens. The staff were very helpful. The rooms were super clean and very spacious. Breakfast was ok and had all of what we needed to start our day.
The beds were very hard and the pillows very uncomfortable.
Everything was perfect from check-in to check-out
The pool is massive and kept very clean and a lovely temperature.

The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the balcony offered a relaxing spot to unwind after a day of exploring. One of the highlights was the stunning swimming pool – it’s large, clean, and perfect for a refreshing dip. The hotel’s location is also excellent, just a short distance from the beach and nearby attractions. The food at the restaurant was delicious, offering a variety of local and international dishes. Breakfast was especially great, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. Overall, The Blue Wave Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you're visiting Arugam Bay for surfing, relaxation, or adventure, this hotel is the perfect place to stay. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to return.
