“Bungalow super sympa et atypique. La cuisine est très bonne et fraîche : tout est fait maison sur place. Seul petit manque, il n'y a pas de cocktails.
La plage est juste devant les bungalows et pratiquement déserte, hormis quelques cours de surf. De jolies vagues pour s'amuser, avec des planches mises à disposition par l'hôtel.
Le bémol : c'est un peu à distance des commerces, il faut prendre un tuk-tuk pour s'y rendre. Un conseil, utilisez l'application PickMe, sinon c'est plus cher — le……
“Rustic hotel accommodation right on beach, 10 minute drive out of Arugam Bay. Tuk Tuk accessible. Basic accommodation with wifi only in verandah of our unit (11), and in dining area. Lovely atmosphere and staff are very accommodating and friendly. Loved their Sri Lankan meals. It’s not 5 star hotel but the staff make up for it. ”

“I got to Rocco’s early August 2026 and it was so hot during the day. The rooms had really good air conditioning and there is a nice pool near by. The staff are very hospitable and super friendly.”
“Great place to stay. 2 excellent safaris where we saw a lot of wildlife including leopards and there was also a pilgrimage so we saw that too. Room was fine. Excellent food and drink reasonably priced. Loved it.”
“Sehr bemüht und freundlich. Leider vieles sehr renovierungsbedürftig. Das Frühstück ist super solange man nicht in die Küche schaut. Das Meer ist perfekt für Wellen begeisterte.”
“Friendly welcome on arrival. Perfect location right on Arugam Beach, walkable to all the beachfront restaurants, and about 5-10 minutes to the high street with plenty more restaurants, bars and shops.
Our room was quite basic and small, but perfectly sufficient for 2 people staying a week. Clean, with linen and towels changed every 3 days. Nisha and her brothers are on site at all times and were always helpful with questions or requests, and served delicious breakfasts every morning. They also……
“This property had its pros and its cons.
Pros

Cons
🫠Restaurant, bar and coffee not operating as I think it is now low season and everyone is getting ready to shut down for the end of the season so we didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the advertised amenities
🫠It’s a hostel pulling in young……
