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.

We love to stay at this hotel! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We (2 young women traveling alone) felt so safe and everyone was looking out for us. The food was also very good and the location was just stunning. Would definitely come back an recommend this to everyone.

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

Stay elsewhere
Well overpriced. Only a small sheet to sleep under, no bathroom products, air conditioning hardly worked, they didn’t make up the room unless asked, pool was heavily chlorinated, there was no fridge or safe and the property had a terrible smell. Not worth the value at all

Great location
Lovely from the outside and grounds good
Nice beach area
Raja (older staff member is great!)
Rooms tiny and dull
No safe, fridge or tv
Beds only consisted of 2 sheets and you had to make your own
Rooms not serviced in 5 day stay
Bathrooms smelly
Not worth the money

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.
