#32 Tri Star Hotel (http://tristar3hotels.com/) areA?fact of two Hotels:
The old, original Tri Star with its large landscaped gardens has been around a long time.
It was managed by the family of the #16 Midbay Hotel for many years, on behalf of the Tamil owner, a doctor from Colombo.
Around 2002/3 the arrangement was terminated, the hotel refurbished and a small, oblong swimming pool placed in the garden. This was -and still is – the only pool in the Bay. A Jaccuzzi was place in a tiny room, under some stairs – a position in the open air would have been more popular maybe.
The first floor seen an a/c restaurant, a conference/cinema room and all the cabanas received a full face lift and furniture, imported from Indonesia.
The position of the old TriStar, however, remained land side, away from the popular beach.
Entrance into #32 Tri Star Beach Hotel
It seems that the original owners entered into a partnership with a Muslim business man, Mr. Razak in 2004 or 2005 and a brand newA?A? “New” Tristar was constructed after the Tsunami. Opposite, on the beach front, in the (then) 50- 200 meter exclusion zone.
The new building has around 20 air con rooms, which many feel are somewhat too small in size. The hot air is blown into the hotel itself – which is a little unfortunate, maybe.
There is a good satellite TV system, a large flat roof top and a very small front, ocean facing garden.
Due to Muslim ownership it appears that there is no alcohol permitted inside the premises. This part of the Tristar is popular with NGO’s, government officials and other visiting dignitaries
Foreign visitors and tourists from abroad often feel that their preferences have not been fully addressed, but local visitors from Colombo and Kandy are said to be happy in the Himalaya tulasi price New Tristar Hotel.

The openeing ‘party’ went well; they were very generous and invited half the village.
Mainly, Farhath Guest House is a little road side, colorful restaurant, land side, about opposite to #25 Lucky Leprechaun. They seem to specialize in local food only.
In addition, there are one or two small cabanas for rent at very reasonable rates.

#24 Way of the Bay Hotel
This is a new hotel development in Arugam Bay.
Way of the Bay did not feature in last year’s walk or listing.
It now appears in place of “Nina Hotel”, for which we no longer found a sign board, in mid 2010.
Background:
Mr. Sahabdeen is a native of Arugam Bay.
His father – we think his name was Nagorthambi? – once had an old tractor ‘David Brown’ plying up and down the old dirt road of AbaY.
In the 1980’s and maybe early 90’s Sahabdeen was a waiter cum manager of popular #o1 Stardust Hotel.
He learned his excellent skills there, under the direction of Danish perfectionist Per Goodman.
For reasons unknown to this reseacher, Sahabdeen decided to move on, and abroad.
We believe he made good income in kuwait, where he formed a family and saved some money to set up this new Hotel.
Now he is back agin in the middle east, completing his contract.
The hotel itself is run by relatives, but we are informed that it can be rented or given on a long lease for anyone interested.
End 2011 update:
We believe that this estblishment has now been leased / rented out A?and is run by others.
They have renamed the place “FantasyA?Way of the Bay Hotel” .
We are not at all sure what that implies:
It’s up to you to come, find out and let us know in YOUR feed – back!
Please contact Sahabdeen on his personal e-mail as below:

#23 Food Garden
#23 Food Garden is fairly new in its present location, but the fast talking owner Hanifa and previous locations have been a land mark at Arugam Bay for a long time.
Hanifa learned to speak good English and acquired his brilliant cooking skills somewhere in the Middle East. On his return to Sri Lanka he opened a very small hut on the sandy beach front, in the middle of the Bay.
Thereafter, in 2003 or so the old Food Garden shifted to a more permanent location just in front of what is now #22 Rocco’s Hotel. Here business was brisk. A good name was established and many guests from Purchase trazodone hydrochloride Order lozolla #20 Aloha came to dine, as the Swiss owned cabana park had no kitchen facilities in those days.
Indeed, Hanifa even branched out into the small guest house business and build some some small rooms, right on the beach front. This was a brilliant location, but bad timing: On 26th December the Food Garden ceased to exist.
However,as far as the writer is informed nobody died or was seriously injured.
Although immediate assistance and new building materials were supplied to Haniffa,A?A? he decided to shift again,away from the unpredictable sea front to a location on the land side of the road, opposite #22 Rocco‘s.
Clever Hannifa sold the property to Roccos (who incorporated the sea front cabanas into their establishment) and business went down.
Not because of the quality of his food and service – but because of the war andA?A? few proper visitors in the Bay (NGO’s used to dine at other places).
Not contented, in 2008 the legendary Food Garden moved again!
Now, in Mid 2008 a new Food GardenA?A? is located somewhere near #32 Tristar and #37 Hidaway Hotel, on the land side of the main road.
Again, the reputation speaks for itself and Hannifa is one of the very few Dine-out Restaurants which manages to attract enough business away from all the hotels, which normally like their guests to eat in at all times. Competition is sharp, but good old Hannifa always seems to manage to get on top of them all, with an ever changing menu and innovative, good food.
#22 Rocco’s Hotel is a relatively new development formerly known as Tourettes’ Hotel.
Situated in the middle of the Bay, with main road as well as open beach access it has a perfect position. Well away from smelly, but colourful fishing operations.
The actual hotel has a strange, but appealing architecture sporting multiple roofs and terraces. The original seaside bar, ‘Rocco’s was washed away in December 2004 and subsequently replaced by a similar, but not quite as nice structure made entirely of natural materials. The main building was near undamaged and reopened early 2005.
#22 Rocco’s is a partnership of local, successful businessman Naleen, UK’s red Steve and New Zealander Ralph. Fellow Kiwi David, who in 2002 designed and constructed Roccos appears to have lost interest and has not been seen since 2004.
Whenever Steve is in residence and control of Rocco’s it is a well run, popular place with about 10 nice bedrooms.
The development occupies also includes a very fine position. A clear view towards surf point is truly memorable from a few additional rooms situated next to the bar. This little piece of prime land was purchased in 2005 from Mr. Haniff and added to the Rocco’s complex. Popular fast talking cook Haniff used to run his busy little restaurant named Food Garden from this very location before he moved to #23 Food Garden position on the main road, opposite.
Update, December, 2008:
The #22 Rocco Beach Bar has been re-designed. Yes again.
Now we have building No.:A?A? Mk3 in place.
The new building is in the same-same location. But a much lower construction.
The effect is said to be more cool – due to cross wind effects we presume.
The roof is made of clay tiles and not “Cajan” (Coconut leaves) as before.
In addition, the earlier land mark ‘landing strip’ lights have been replaced with better garden light features.

#21 Danish Villa. Your holiday home from home
How much topamax to take for weight loss #21 Danish Villa has a refreshing and totally different concept than all other ‘hotels’ in Arugam Bay.
This colonial style, but modern bungalow is set well back in a huge tropical garden. Although individual rooms can be rented, ideally the entire house can be yours for the duration of your vacation.
There are a number of well equipped bedrooms, a large modern lounge with Satellite TV and HiFi systems and a great terrace where you can’t see, but hear the ocean in the distance whilst having your dinner.
Essentially, it is a self catering operation, but a cook is on hand should you not wish to spend your time in the well appointed kitchen.
Road Sign
Purchase risperdal children #21 Danish Villa is owned by a young couple from …. surprise!: Denmark. Camila & Per came to AbaY and through contacts at Danish run #01 Stardust purchased the land and constructed the building in a highly professional way.
Per, specially, gained wide local respect in the aftermath of Dec/04 with his endless well cleaning, water supply and his support for the Community.
An own web site exists and as soon as we have learned how to embed special and easy contact buttons all relevant links will be added here.
