We stayed before the main season and everything was lush and green and all the animals pass by to nibble on the grass. The service was exceptional and I cannot say often enough how friendly and helpful all the staff are. We had a lovely time, the staff went out of their way to fulfill our kids wishes, from printing out colouring sheets at reception to letting them bake a cake with the chef or mix a drink behind the bar. We were given a surprise present at the end of our stay and would definitely come back here. Thanks for everything jetwing surf!

    Five stars for Arugam Bay Moxy Bay ! My experience was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was incredibly attentive, the facilities were top-notch, and the location was central in Arugambay. Also as a female solo traveler I felt safe!

    This is the best 3 star property we have stayed at, better rooms than some of the 5 star places. Clean spacious rooms, with all of the amenities you would need. It exceeded our expectations, highly recommend.

    The front of house staff were excellent. I especially have to mention Thilana who went the extra mile in looking after me and my constant requests for assistance with all kinds of different needs. Great patience and professionalism. To the Management - this guy is invaluable to your business ! Also a mention for Kumara the chef who cooked me the most excellent chicken curry and side dishes. One of the best I have had (and I have had a great many !). Plus the swimming pool is top notch.
