Highly recommend staying here
Pros:

I highly recommend staying here. I stayed at 4 different lodgings in Arugam Bay, and this was by far the best. This is one of those places where you can tell the hosts will do anything to make their guests comfortable, including an outdoor fan to make the patio an enjoyable experience. My room (but not all rooms) had a kitchen stocked with everything I needed, including a blender, kettle, pots/pans, etc. The location is perfect because you have quick access to both the main drag and the beach, yet are tucked away enough that you don't get all the noise.

Cons:

Wifi was spotty. Also, I wish they had cold water for purchase on site.

Ruhiger Aufenthalt in Arugam Bay
Pros:

Die Lage war super, innerhalb von 5min hat man den Strand erreicht. Das Tiny House war toll eingerichtet, das Bad modern und die Unterkunft an sich sauber. Wir haben gut geschlafen, der kleine Wald verbreitet eine angenehme Stimmung.

Cons:

Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hat für uns nicht ganz gepasst, da ein Frühstück nicht inklusive war. Auch hatten wir einige Käfer im Zimmer. Das Personal war nett, aber weniger kommunikativ, offen und hilfsbereit, wie in den anderen bisherigen Unterkünften hier in Sri Lanka.

Pros:

Die Lage war super schön und ruhig. Man brauchte nur ein paar Minuten zum Strand und zu den tollen Restaurants und Cafés in der Gegend. Die Unterkunft war sehr gemütlich und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Cons:

Die Beleuchtung war etwas dunkel. Vielleicht sollte man bessere Glühbirnen oder extra Lampen aufstellen.

Perfect stay!
Pros:

Beautiful room, our favourite room in all of our Sri Lanka trip
Bathroom was so aesthetically pleasing and the bed was do comfortable too.
We saw a monkey outside our room and could hear them playing in the room, very fun!
Quiet location but close enough to the main road that everything is a short few minutes walk away.
Nice gym about 5 mins walk away
Beach within a few minutes walk
Hosts were so kind and friendly

Cons:

Nothing :)

Comfortable modern place in the heart of Arugam Bay
Pros:

Very nice modern, well appointed room in a quiet garden setting with occasional monkey visitors. The property was an easy walk to the beach and Main Street.

Cons:

There was no hot water but it wasn’t really a problem.
