Guest review

The accommodation runs very smoothly overall. The bathrooms and showers are consistently clean and well maintained, and the rooms are always tidy and comfortable. The air conditioning works perfectly. There’s also a cozy outdoor area with plenty of space to relax or hang your things. The staff truly stands out – incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with check-in, check-out, or any request. All in all, it’s a fantastic place to stay and offers excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

I came in the off season and had the whole place to myself. The staff was super helpful and accommodating. The AC is blasting cool air all day. This was the best experience in Arugam Bay.

Nothing that I know of.
