Arne's Place

Great location and staff were friendly. Beds were comfortable and aircon was appreciated. Close proximity to grocery shop for water and food.

Rooms would benefit from fresh air ventilation and shower often became blocked.

It s a great place to stay at Arugam Bay, the owners are super nice and very helpful to arrange all activities, including surf lessons. It kind of feels like home.

We LOVED our stay at Arnes place. The atmosphere was so chilled and laid back with such a welcoming vibe. All the bros and hosts were super nice and chatty and arranged surfing lessons for us and always smiling asking how our day was. We were here for 4 nights and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a welcoming stay with warm and friendly hospitality. Brekfast isn’t included but you can arrange at the property. It is also only 50m to the beach where you can swim but be aware there are strong waves and current but if you’re used to swimming in big waves you’ll be fine! You can walk to main point along the beach in 15min

Good location

Holes in mosquito nets. Bathroom door wouldn’t not lock properly. Only one electrical socket . Water went off and we had only salty water for one night. We weren’t informed or updated about this . Staff were totally dis- interested in talking to us. I asked about surf lessons but they seemed vague and didn’t follow up. I asked for laundry service and they charged 900 rupee per kilo. Up the road we paid 350 per kilo.
