    Overall, it was a nice place to stay! It was in a perfect location and meant we could park our tuktuk and just walk everywhere in Arugam Bay. The staff were super lovely also. You have access to a kitchen which is basic but helpful if you are...

    Super friendly owner and relaxed atmosphere. Location is ideal just off the main street and metres from the beach, shops and cafes. Private room was big for 3 of us with a mosquito net on the double, but not on the single bed for our daughter...

    Sam and his staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The property was just off the main road so it was quiet but still very central. 10 minute walk from Baby Point. Highly recommend staying here if you are...
