A real gem in Arugam Bay (which is a bit run down). Staff were excellent, the villa was great and the pool very good. Food is a stand out.

We enjoyed our stay a 100% at The Spice Trail. A beautiful hotel with rooms like little villas with its own garden. The pool is great as well and is nice for a little swim after a day at the beach. Be aware that some rooms are close to the noisy pool bar (music) of the neighbouring hotel.

as soon as we arrived at the resort, the staff were very helpful and the service was great. the room was enormous and the bed was really comfortable. we had our own little courtyard/grassy area which was nice. the pool area was so nice and relaxing. we got sunburnt one day at the beach and when the staff found out they went and brought us aloe vera leaves every few days. we ended up getting to know a few of the staff members over our 5 night stay and they were incredibly helpful and inviting. on the last day, the taxi booking fell through so the manager of the resort drove us himself, all the way to Passikudah. He use to be a tour guide so he stopped off and showed us a few places on the way to break up our long trip and showed us some of the street food on the side of the road which I never would have tried but was so happy I did because it was delicious!

Lovely spot across the street from the beach. Restaurant is lovely. Staff are kind and helpful. Only negative feedback to the hotel I have is that it needs shelving or bench space in the bathroom. Overall, top rating.

After 3 weeks travelling through Sri Lanka and staying in lots of different hotels when arriving at the Spice Trail we realised we were in for a treat. I can not praise this hotel enough. Everything was perfect. Congratulations to everybody involved with the hotel. The actual hotel is pure luxury everything is perfect. Gorgeous chalets amazing pool excellent restaurant serving amazing food but most of all we were impressed with all of the staff. They are all so friendly, professional and helpful. Arosh on reception is excellent his English is exceptional and he makes everyone feel so welcome. The manager is also brilliant and was so happy to share the cultural history of the area. Please don't think Arguam Bay is just for surfing because its not there are so many things to see here, we organised a safari to the nearby wildlife park through the hotel which was the highlight of our trip. Thank you to everybody at The Spice Trail and I hope to visit you again. Ps Also well done also for your eco friendly efforts within the hotel.

This hotel was the best on the strip by far, we lucked in! The rooms are massive, the bathroom is massive, the shower is hot, each bungalow has its own private garden area. There is a strong ecofriendly philosophy, which also wishes to support local industry through training and employment. All staff clearly love their job, taking excellent care of the place - extremely well maintained grounds, gardens, and pool. The property manager is super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate about the hotel. The menu is exceptional - being super healthy and different from every other place we went to in Sri Lanka. The perfect place to stay for a beach holiday.

This is a great minimalist style, luxury, eco-friendly facility for the location. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. I couldn't be happier with the location. The Spice Trail is right on the main strip next to everything. The pool is excellent and I enjoyed the food. I think what made this place home for over a week was the welcoming staff. Truly the only downfall was no tv. But that might be common for the area and it forces you to get out and explore. I loved it
