For me, the best food and banana lassies in arugam bay
When booking we thought it wont be clean and comfy. But for a surprise this was great hotel with great view and service.
We were honestly Surprised by How great Etnico was. The rooms were cleaned and air conditioned. Bathrooms was quite clean as well. The Manager/Owner Ratnayake was extremely pleasant and helpful, as were the staff. Etnico is right on the beach and now door is a great bar for drinks and chill music. I would most certainly book at Etnico again.
Very nice place. The owner is nice and helping. There are AC and hot water.
The beach view is amazing
Very nice owner. AC did not work. Room is Okish
Can't comment on the hotel, but the food is good, authentic Italian pizzas and pastas, could be a bit more imaginative with the toppings though.
A small and somewhat Italian inspired little guesthouse. End May 2017 researched by a leading German travel book author. And he was impressed it seems with the price to value ratio.
Clean rooms, nice staff, good beach (during season)
A superb small hotel in arugamby. Hotel is located at the middle of the bay. Good view for both side of the bay. Reasonable price. Very friendly staff.
Decent location and not bad price for what you get. WiFi is decent I have made good Skype calls. AC is decent. I've not eaten at the restaurant.
Beds and pillows are comfortable.
Rooms are clean,though have flies (nature of location)
Bar drinks (soft) are reasonable.
Three dogs all friendly especially the girl (mut) that sleeps next to you on the beach. Lovely nature and gentile.
Birds in the roof
Rooms are a little tired
Bathrooms need updating
Staff are quiet and relaxed.
All in all a good experience.

The place was really good. Accommodation was excellent, so was their service. Not expensive also.
