Gorgeous Property!

What a beautiful hotel! We stayed in an exquisite villa with the beach at right outside our doors. The enjoy the sunsets from our bed was truly spectacular. A lovely and welcoming staff who catered to our every need. The food was good - but I prefer the menu at their sister property, Kayaam House. But Ahu Bay has THE BEST coconut toffee! Thank you to wonderful staff who were so kind and helpful, especially Nilanga and Kasum.

Great staff, terrific food, only negative is that there are tour operators on the grounds that try to undercut the resort by offering cheaper tours. Fairly relentless and a bit nasty if you turn them down

Nice hotel, but feels a little unfinished. The food was great, as well as service. The bay is pretty but the beach is small and waves are too strong for swimming most of the time. The suite with a pool doesn't feel as private as I imagined looking at the pictures. The pool is visible from the public beach and the rooms upstairs.

Perfect stay in Paradise

Our stay was more than amazing. The hotel is located wonderfully, directly at the beach with amazing views. The food and cocktails were delicious and the prices for the food and drinks were fair. What made our stay really memorable is the amazing staff of the hotel. Every single employee was so friendly and attentive, i have never experienced service like that. Thanks to everyone for making our stay so wonderful.

We had the best experience at Ahu Bay. We felt very welcome from the first minute we entered the hotel area. This exclusive resort is really heaven on earth! From the service over the culinary experience, this is a resort a lot of hotels in the works could learn a lot from! The service & exclusivity are from another planet and the culinary experience was one of the best I ever had!
