“I had a wonderful time and would definitely return, and recommend the place to others.”
First, the location of the hotel was perfect, so conveniently placed in relation to every place I wanted to go to in Arugam Bay. The hotel is charming, a wide-open space that affords a beautiful view of, and great access to the beach 1 minute walk. My room was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities I required. The staff were beyond wonderful, so helpful and accomodating, which made a short trip with complicated travel times so much easier to bear. Last, this place was a steal for the nightly rate . i Highly Recommended this surf camp because surf lessons was amazing !!

“Nice but not perfect.”
very quietly located but still close enough to the main restaurants and bars and beaches. nice and helpful stuff. they help to organize surf lessons. if you go surfing early in the morning they offer a small light snack (coffee and banana) before surfing and wait for you with a big nice breakfast when you come back! this is a great plus. there is a nice cafe right next door with great hoppers and juices!
