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.

extraordinary staffs
pros: refilled glass water instead of plastic, lovely staffs that went beyond in every way, good location, nice pool, happy hour (only beer) cons: food can be improved as there are plenty of alternatives nearby, room needs more lights (can’t even notice pouring shampoo or shower gel)
4.0/5 good

Gardens were beautiful - rooms were spacious and clean - pool was also very clean and a welcome reprieve from the heat. We had breakfast here three days and lunch two - food was delicious! We enjoyed our time in Arugam Bay, at the Spice Trail. The only room for improvement was our initial arrival at the hotel: The manager warned us about safety in the area the evening we arrived. I understood his want to be cautious and have his guests stay safe, but it made us unnecessarily uneasy the first 24 hours. Being told to not really leave the property is not what you want to here when you first arrive somewhere new. Maybe finding a different way to say it? Also - my partner and I did not feel unsafe at anytime during our visit, despite the area being very quiet.

Enjoyable stay, beautiful rooms
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.

highly recommend
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!
