    spacious garden suite

    A cozy stay with friendly staff

    From the moment we arrived at The Spice Trail, the warm welcome from the staff made us feel right at home. Our spacious Garden Suite had a charming sit-out area, perfect for enjoying the lush surroundings. The pool area was delightful, offering a tranquil escape, and the freshly prepared breakfasts filled with local flavors were a highlight of each morning. We also took advantage of the local food options just a short stroll away.

    spacious rooms, beautiful garden, large pool

    Water pressure in showers needs attention!!! Inconsistent breakfast timing can be frustrating!!! A smoother check-out process would prevent unnecessary stress!!!

    slow wifi

    Chilled vibes in Arugam Bay 🌊

    Enormous comfy bed in the garden suite felt like sleeping on a cloud! The pool was always super clean and the staff were tops, helping out whenever. The fresh brekkie, especially the curry, was a lekker way to start the day!

    WiFi was a bit kak at times, but what can you expect in the bush?

    Chur, the pool was choice and the rooms were heaps spacious, but the breakfast could've been better—really lacking in fresh options. Would stay again if I could!

    would use them next time.

    Rooms are spacious with air conditioning. Garden Suite had a seating area, refrigerator, and soundproofing. The pool was refreshing with sun loungers. Spa facilities included kids' pool and outdoor swimming pool. The manager was helpful and spoke fluent English. Staff provided attentive service and barista-made coffee.

    great pool
    limited breakfast choices

    Gorgeous gardens and amazing staff

    The gardens were a total chill zone, perfect for relaxing with a drink. The staff were super friendly, especially Prabodha—he was like our personal guide, showing us the best local spots! Breakfast was delicious, but the choices were a bit limited some days. The pool area was awesome for unwinding after the beach.
