Home away from home, beach at your doorstep.
Loved this place! Owners are so friendly, made us feel at home right away. Great staff, great food, nice pool and facilities. Comfy bed, lovely room. Away from all the noise, it’s a proper hidden gem.

Décevant et - au vu du montant - très cher pour le Sri Lanka
Très compliqué pour moi d’évaluer notre séjour de deux nuits au Stay Golden. Cet hôtel m’avait été recommandé pour rester à Arugam bay qui est très animée en étant au calme et à l’écart de l’agitation. Malheureusement…

Heerlijke plek voor paar dagen strand en surfen
Het zwembad, lieve personeel, heerlijk ontbijt en lunch. Fijne kamer en bedden. Surfles en safari kun je allemaal boeken via hotel.
Soms wat winderig, wat vaak minder was bij het strand in het centrum. Lokatie iets…

A great stay!
I spend hours researching where to stay in Arugam Bay before coming - reading all reviews, checking pics etc etc. So let me save you the time!
My family stayed for 3 nights and returned for another night a few days…
