The host is very helpful, give good recommendations and suggestions. Our room was on maintenance so they gave an even bigger room to us.

The property itself is probably one of the most impressive places to stay in Arugam Bay. It is a private building with exceptionally high ceilings, four open sides that allow a constant, pleasant breeze, and a unique character in every room. The rooms are especially spacious, with beautiful views of the lagoon. Every afternoon, the sunset light comes into the room and creates an incredibly peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I've stayed in quite a few different places around Arugam Bay, and I honestly haven't experienced anything quite like this.
The breakfasts were wonderful. Everything is prepared fresh from products bought every morning, and the food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared according to each guest's preferences. I also had dinner at the property every evening. For me, it was actually better value than eating out, while also being healthier, filling and absolutely delicious. It was a great way to enjoy fresh, local food without having to leave the property.
But what really made my stay special was the people. Everyone on the staff was incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful, and each person made me feel genuinely at home. They were always happy to help with anything I needed, and over my stay, I personally felt a connection with every one of them.
A special mention to Kamal, the manager, who helped with absolutely everything and always did so with patience and a great sense of humor. We also had some really deep and memorable conversations, and I discovered that he's a very good chess player! The whole team gave me a genuine feeling of warmth, hospitality and home.
Honestly, there wasn't much I didn't like. The property is a little away from the busiest part of Arugam Bay, but for me that was actually one of its biggest advantages. It made the stay much quieter, more peaceful and relaxing.
