This was such an amazing place to stay. Location was perfect , very close to the beach & restaurants. The room was spacious , the bed very comfortable and with a mosquito net. Plus a large bathroom with hot water. The highlight of the stay was the delicious breakfast. It changed daily and over the 3 days we were there we had banana pancakes , hoppers and a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast of Dhal curry and coconut Sambal ( the best we had in Sri Lanka ) This was served with a fresh juice and coffee. Great value for money . I highly recommend bay dreams we hope to return one day soon !

The room was very spacious and cosy. There was quite a large fridge, good for cooling water (even 5L bottles). The hotel is close to a nice beach and within walking distance of the tourist centre. There is a shop and very good restaurants nearby.

Beautiful sea views in a peaceful setting. The place feels private and is run by a lovely family who are so welcoming, kind, and accommodating - they really made us feel at home. The location is ideal if you want to be slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Arugam Bay, while still being just an easy walk into the main area. Would highly recommend!

Apple is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet in Sri Lanka—if not in the entire world. I’ve never been so sad to leave an accommodation before; it truly felt like leaving a friend behind. Hopefully, I’ll be back soon. Not to mention great breakfast and good quiet location but still very close to the town and the beach.

Awesome. My partner and I stayed here for over a week and we absolutely loved it. We didn’t want to leave. It’s in the perfect location of Arugam bay (which can be noisy at night) about a 10 minute walk to main point for the surf, it’s directly on the beach that has beach beds and it’s only a small stroll into the heart of the town. The individual cabanas are fantastic they have all you need with plenty of fans and space and are bright and colourful. They staff are very friendly and helpful and always up for having a chat and breakfast is delicious. Loved the whole experience would definitely tell everyone to come stay here and can’t wait to go back.
