Beachside hotel with beautiful pool

We were 2 couples that stayed at Roccos for 2 1/2 weeks. Beautiful pool area, excellent service and really good food! We had breakfast included and tested all the tasty Sri Lanka dishes. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay at Roccos if/when we return to Arugam Bay <3

Not worth the cost

The hotel doesn’t look like the photos that were advertised. Lots of distributions including very loud music until the early hours of the morning. No change of facilities or cleaning of the rooms. Very overpriced for what it was.

The staff were friendly and lovely. Unfortunately, the place was not great. We had no WiFi and the rooms were not that clean. Lots of dust under the bed and old sheets. They had dogs all over the property and there were two dogs that would chase people walking along the beach. No curfew at the pool and all the rooms face the pool. I was up past 10:30 listening to people in the pool. No kettle, tea or coffee in the rooms, but the staff did make tea for us and we did not get charged for it. If the rating was just on the staff I would give it a 5.

At first glance on Booking and Expedia, the photos suggest a luxurious boutique stay, but the reality did not match. For the price, the standard felt closer to a budget hostel. The bathroom was grubby, with only one towel each, no hand towels, and a floor towel that needed replacing. Fixtures were old, with rusty shower heads and taps, and there were cracks in the walls. Rooms were sparsely furnished and the kitchen/restaurant area looked unclean, with staff often sleeping in view of guests. Housekeeping was poor. The cups from our welcome tea stayed on our balcony for the entire stay, and the doors were shabby, some not closing or locking properly. The pool umbrellas were worn, stained with bird droppings and full of holes, not a pleasant view from the balcony. There were positives. The location is ideal, right on the beachfront, and the staff were friendly, offering free breakfast each morning. However, with so many inviting cafés nearby we chose to eat elsewhere. What disappointed most was the gap between the photos and the reality. If it had been advertised as a hostel I would not have minded as much, but the presentation and price raised expectations it could not meet. With a deep clean, basic maintenance, fresh paint, and small touches like new linens and working locks, the property could quickly improve. For now, the location is its strongest feature, but the care and detail expected for the price are lacking.

Our experience of the Rocco’s was excellent! We’ve stayed there for 2 weeks on half board and everything was just great. The room are simple but comfortable, we had a cube on the upper floor allowing to store all our surfing equipment on the side in the shade and dry everything the same way. All the people working there are extremely kind and professional and always here to help in any ways they just took all this experience to the next level. Amazing place with amazing people

Nice hotel with pool at the beach

One or maybe the best hotel with pool at the beach in Arumgambay. The rooms are rather small and basic but OK compared to other places. A fridge would be a nice addition though. The bathroom is also small and basic, and we had a lot of ants the first days (but that is kinda everywhere). The WIFI was "so-so" but that was kinda everywhere in Sri Lanka (better off buying a SIM-card). The service and staff was excellent and everyone was helpfull and service-minded. Big thanks to the older yoga teacher serving breakfast in the morning, he is real adorable and funny! :) The surroundings are perfect, restaurants and shop within walking distance so couldn´t be better.

Pros- Staff was very friendly and the property was beautiful. Located by the side of the beach and not too far away from the activities and partys in the area. Good property to relax and enjoy. Cons - No TV in the rooms and breakfast must improve. I wish they changed their breakfast menu every other day cause if you stay for more than 3 days, it’s difficult to eat the same thing. Could be more organized during check-in.

Loved this hotel except for the service was a tad slow and there def needs to be fridges in the room as they don't serve alcohol. However there is a cool beach bar next door. Great position on a lovely beach.
