We loved our stay at Rams Resort. Honestly, it's a super unique place in terms of the community created around - starting from the staff and the manager but also all the guests seem to get along so well and it doesn't feel like your typical hotel. You always feel supported with anything you might need and there's always someone around with the solution or a helpful tip. They'll help you organize with everything you need and you'll feel very welcome. All is super comfy too and the location is great. Fully recommend!

The manager found us another room in order for us to feel really like home and comfortable as much as possible. Would recommend their breakfast bowls ! Delicious!

    Cute resort hidden amongst a beautiful garden. The rooms are spacious and have AC which is important in the hot conditions in Aragum Bay. The pool was big enough but could have been a little colder. Great location amongst all the main restaurants but also had its own cafe which served barista made coffee. The staff were very attentive and kind. The manager (whose name I forget but he wore glasses) was very welcoming, helpful and spoke fluent English. Tried the new spa massage which was very relaxing and relatively cheap.

    We stayed in 2 cabanas as a family of 4. They were breezy and super clean, with a sweet hammock and trunk set up underneath. The food was excellent and the staff were exceptional. They were kind, helpful, and genuine. They helped us organize Tuk Tuks, rides, and activities, taking no commissions to do so. The resort itself looked like a postcard, beautiful!

    I liked pretty much everything about it. Spacious rooms, large beds with comfy mattresses, good clean spacious bathrooms with good water pressure. The resort is also beautiful. I would like to highlight the sympathy of Jamas, the owner, who will always come to you with a big smile. He is extremely helpful and will go his way out to help you and make you feel like at home. He and his team are also excellent cooks and will delight you with delicious and very well presented dishes at affordable prices.

    All of the guys made you feel at home and were super chill about everything. The breakfasts were delicious, and the pool was perfect. I spent more time in the pool than my room. Was super clean and the whole resort space was ample.

    Definitely best place we've stayed in in Sri Lanka 👌🏻 Great owner, who's also a level 2 surf instructor and fluent in English 🏄🏽‍♂️ It's right on the beach, so you can listen to the waves breaking from your bed, sunbed, hammock or while doing yoga 🙏🏻 If you want a yoga class, surf lesson, transport, food..anything, they'll arrange for you :) Easy yet cosy rooms, as is the resort. It's not a luxury one, but clean and well kept and cosily arranged with light chains, hammocks, sitting groups etc.

    We slept in Popoye beach resort, because of construction works close to Chimaca Bay. It's the same friendly owner who offered us the other hotel when we arrived. We had a really good stay in Popoye. It was clean, everybody was friendly and we enjoyed the breakfast. Especially the owner was so helpful. I forgot my ring and he organised somebody who brought it to my next hotel within a day. Thank you so much!
