I had an incredible stay at Bay Dreams Place and can't recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the warm and welcoming Iqbal (owner) and Ghan (cooker), who went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction throughout my stay. Their kindness and attention to detail truly made a difference. The accommodation itself is top-notch. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. Every detail is thought of to provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience. After a long day of exploring, coming back to such a cozy and well-maintained room was a treat. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. Every morning, I was delighted by the variety and quality of the food. You can eat to your heart's content, and the best part is that the breakfast menu changes daily, so you’re in for a pleasant surprise each morning. And don’t miss the Ghan’s grilled fish at dinner—it's an absolute must! The fish is incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I can’t forget to mention that Iqbal and Ghan took great care of me and my brother by taking us on a motorcycle ride to see the elephants over two days because we couldn't get very close on the first day. They are both very attentive and have very good hearts. On my birthday, they thoughtfully prepared a birthday cake so we could celebrate in the morning. Whatever you need, Iqbal can help you with everything, like: scooter, safaris, surfboard rental, transport and so on. Overall, Bay Dreams Place exceeded all my expectations. With its wonderful staff, excellent accommodation, and outstanding food, it's the perfect getaway. I'll definitely be returning next year!!!

Location: The location is ideal.It's situated just a few hundred meters away from the main road (Potuvil - Panama) and the beach, giving you the best of both worlds. You get easy access to all the main surf points and town amenities, but you're far enough away to enjoy complete peace and quiet. It's the perfect tranquil escape after a day in the sun. The Room & Amenities: The room was fantastic—very spacious,spotlessly clean, and designed with comfort in mind. It was equipped with all the required amenities, and everything was in great working order. It truly felt like a home away from home. Overall Experience: I can't fault this place.For the comfort, space, and serene atmosphere, it offers incredible value. I would gladly give it a perfect 10 out of 10 for the room and overall experience. It’s a gem that provides a quiet, convenient, and comfortable base for your Arugam Bay adventures. I will definitely be returning on my next trip!

We had the most amazing 11 nights at Upali and wish we didn’t have to leave! The wonderful staff are so kind, welcoming and helpful with everything - they definitely make the place what it is. A big thank you to Nilu and Anujen!! The location is incredible and we think the best you can get in Arugum, right in front of the main surf break and a 10 min walk into town. We loved being a little away from the busy town! We stayed in two different bungalows and both were beautiful. One was a little larger which was nice and the other looked directly out to the surf which was also amazing!! All of the bungalows are steps away to the ocean and surrounded by palm trees. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back!!
