We spent a week at Rocco’s in Arugam Bay and genuinely didn’t want to leave. Most of the staff and management were absolutely exceptional – so friendly, helpful, and always up for a chat. They made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived and went above and beyond every single day. The breakfast was fresh, tasty, and the perfect start to each morning. The beautiful gardens and pool area were maintained daily, and the whole place had such a calm and relaxing vibe. We had both air conditioning and a ceiling fan in our room, plus pool towels supplied and daily water – all the little touches that make a stay extra comfy. They even helped us exchange money and organised our transport to Wellawaya when it was time to move on – so efficient and easy. It honestly felt like we were staying with friends. The only downfall is the music from the beach clubs/parties can be heard - but that would be heard from any accommodation along that stretch. And the beers could be colder. We’ll definitely be back.
