“Wonderful guesthouse with lovely staff”
Very clean room with good AC, very nice and attentive staff and - very important - the owner Rauff fulfills every wish (transfers, trips, money exchange, etc). You can choose breakfast from menue, very good. Attached restaurant is also highly reommendable. Almost directly at the beautiful beach. Thanks a lot for a beautiful stay, we regret not being able to stay longer.

“A excellent place to stay in Aragum Bay.”
Excellent beach side location, very clean rooms, very helpful staff. We ate breakfast and dinner in the hotel and the food came out looking exactly like the menu pictures and was great. There was both space to sit outside the room and downstairs in the restaurant area. We had a couple of rainy days due to the time of year and it was a nice place to just hang out without feeling like you needed to buy something just to be in the restaurant area. They keep to their eco credentials by having a paperless login and being on top of electric usage. Really great place, would definitely stay here again. Parking was out the front on the street, no problem for us with a tuktuk but might be busier when in full tourist season.

“Chill stay by Arugam Bay”
The breakfast options were great and portions were generous, especially the Shakshuka. The location was also very central and everything across the main part of Arugam Bay was accessible on foot. The in-house cafe was a great place to chill and get some work done.
