The Spice Trail Hotel - Arugam Bay

A cozy stay with friendly staff

The warm welcome from the staff. Our spacious Garden Suite had a charming sit-out area, perfect for enjoying the lush surroundings. The pool area was good, with a tranquil escape, and the freshly prepared breakfasts filled with local flavors were a highlight of each morning. We also took advantage of the local food options just a short stroll away.

Had very relaxing stay for 10 nights and the weather was wonderful. The staff was hospitable, attentive, and responded promptly to requests. The location of the hotel was fantastic - at a moderate distance from A-Bay Surf Shop. It took us 10 minutes on foot to get to the downtown. They recommended a very convenient restaurant for all meals-food. No complaint, the venue met expectations...

Can’t fault anything about it!

Well-run and rare hotel, I stayed here with my family. The restaurant had outstanding meals. The setting of property was perfect, in the centre of town. The service was good, I had a very tasty breakfast:)))

No.

a Spacious equipped room, beautiful gardens, perfect pool area

a Noise from nearby bar, limited restaurant options, breakfast variety needs improvement

spacious rooms, beautiful garden, large pool

Water pressure in showers needs attention!!! Inconsistent breakfast timing can be frustrating!!! A smoother check-out process would prevent unnecessary stress!!!

Chilled vibes in Arugam Bay 🌊

Enormous comfy bed in the garden suite was like sleeping on a cloud! The pool was always super clean and the staff were tops, helping out whenever. The fresh brekkie, especially the curry, was a lekker way to start the day!

WiFi was a bit kak at times, but what can you expect in the bush?

Had a great stay at The Spice Trail! The pool was super clean, and I loved the spacious Garden Suite. Staff were kind Just wish the breakfast options changed up a bit more regularly.

Chur, the pool was choice and the rooms were heaps spacious, but the breakfast could've been better-really lacking in fresh options. Would stay again if I could!

would use them next time.

Rooms are spacious with air conditioning. Garden Suite had a seating area, refrigerator, and soundproofing. The pool was refreshing with sun loungers. Spa facilities included kids' pool and outdoor swimming pool. The manager was helpful and spoke fluent English. Staff provided attentive service and barista-made coffee.

Gorgeous gardens and amazing staff

The gardens were a total chill zone. The staff were super friendly, especially Prabodha-he was like our personal guide, showing us the best local spots! Breakfast was delicious, but the choices were a bit limited some days. The pool area was awesome for unwinding after the beach.

They were always eager to assist. The pool was refreshing, and the quiet courtyard provided a lovely space to relax.

Limited dining options nearby.

Stayed at The Spice Trail for 5 nights and it was a great experience. The spacious garden suite with a big bed exceeded my expectations, and the eco-friendly focus was excellent. Especially with their adorable pets around!

breakfast timing was inconsistent.

Serene retreat to bask in the private garden and unwind by the beautiful pool.

The gardens are super lovely and the pool is always clean. Our garden suite was spacious and comfy, perfect for chillin after a day out. The staff were sooo friendly and. Breakfast was def a highlight with local flavors that kept us comin back for more.

the noise from the nearby bar was a little annoying at night and internet connection was spotty occasionally.

Clean outdoor pool, friendly staff with 24-hour reception. Coffee was disappointing.
