Arana Weligama

We loved the location of this property, it was directly opposite the beach, close to train and bus and surrounded by many good restaurants but still relaxing and not too touristy. Perfect central hub for our south coast adventures. The breakfast was exceptional, beautiful to eat on the rooftop overlooking the beach. Staff were so friendly and helpful. They also recommended a driver to Yala, Sameera, who was our best driver of the trip and we hired an extra 2 times for other sections.

There is some road noise for rooms on the front but they provide earplugs and the view was worth it.

The food was always great, especially the breakfast and a lovely beach view. I loved the variety of games they had. The room was clean, spacious and had a nice relaxing setting.

No wall next to shower

Decoracion simple pero elegante y acogedora. Habitacion bonita con grandes ventanales por donde ver el mar. Comida realmente muy buena tanto desayuno como cena.

Ruidosa ya que esta frente a la carretera y no hay insonorizacion. Soportable por ser temporada baja. Entra luz a pesar de las cortinas(te dan tapones y antifaz) Insistieron en fotografiar mi pasaporte a pesar de que le pedi que no lo hiciera. En otros sitios te registran los datos y no creo que tengamos que permitirlo (daekweb). Llamame loca !!!

Directly opposite the beach and n e centre of Weligama bay, surrounded by cafes etc Rooftop restaurant was very good, well priced and tasty food and drinks Delicious breakfast - local omelette with green chilli was great Cold air conditioning Hot shower, clean bathroom Friendly staff

Lots of traffic noise being right on the main road (as most Weligama hotels are) Lots of loud music from within or adjacent businesses until 11pm or later Loud music from across the road from 6am every morning (tuk tuks or surfing schools?) Poor quality construction - condensation formed on windows, poor finishing around bathroom tiling, floors and walls are just painted concrete etc Curtains were thin, poor quality and did not fully cover windows so sunrise around 6am streamed in every morning Bed linen was inadequate, top sheet with just a thin bedspread that was too small for the bed, wrestled it all night OK for the price but I’d pay more and stay beachside down the east end of the beach if we visit again
