Paddyway Resort

There is ongoing work to improve the hotel. The pool is round the back but didn't use it. Breakfast was good. It was quiet season so think we were the only ones staying so unfair to judge too harshly. There was a wasp nest a few metres from the room but didn't worry us as it is Sri Lanka after all. Staff were very friendly.

My stay at Paddyway Hotel in Arugam Bay was exceptional. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the hotel had a relaxing vibe. A big thanks to Ali for his excellent service—always helpful, kind, and attentive. He made sure everything was perfect and truly enhanced my experience. I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful staff and very accommodating. Rooms are clean and the pool was well maintained. Great for families with kids since it is a brief walk from the Main Street in Arugambay.

My partner and I had an amazing stay at Paddyway. We did a six day surf camp and our instructor Jemsen was incredibly helpful. I feel like we both saw a lot of progression in the 6 days. We had breakfast at Paddyway every morning and it was always delicious. The staff was very helpful. Even when we did an early surf, they would give us fruit to go and breakfast whenever we came back. We attended two yoga classes as part of our surf camp and they were very helpful to our muscular recovery. Our room was gorgeous. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and when we first came into the room, it was already cool from the AC and it smelled absolutely amazing. They really did a great job of providing a luxurious experience. We also loved having our own WiFi in our room. The connection was always working unlike other places in town. We had a memorable stay and are very grateful to the incredible staff and instructors!

A nice, clean, spacious rooms in a lovely garden setting. Just a short 5 minute walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make our stay pleasant and memorable! I highly recommend.

Amazing stay, Ariff is very helpful with everything! Has a really nice pool and very clean. Thank you Ariff!! I would recommend to everyone!
