“All about the location and vibes”
+Location. Location. Location. Just loved getting out of the hustle of Arugam Bay and to a beautiful, peaceful little surf spot. Stunning views. Remote, nothing else around, very few people, really great to connect and meet other guests and relax in nature. A very cool jungle vibe, beautiful natural environment, all spread out and some privacy for each room. Also great local restaurant to chill and eat and socialise. Very well priced food.
−It’s a stunning place and my favourite location, I loved being here but just a couple of little things that made it a little bit less enjoyable. Maybe I had too high expectations from reviews about the friendly staff, but when I arrived I was barely acknowledged and had to wait a long time before I was shown to my room and I was given no other information about the property, where the toilets and showers were, how the restaurant worked etc. then often when I asked about something I felt quite patronised that I needed to know more. Just a bit of a funny attitude. In the dorm there was no sheet or anything on my bed, and the toilet paper would run out and not be replaced. Nothing major or awful, it was manageable and I don’t expect luxury, but nice to at least have the basics covered. Also note it’s very open to the elements, so lots of bugs and creatures around (cockroaches, snakes etc.), if this is something that will be bother you, be aware.

“Best place to find rest in Sri Lanka”
+It was amazing. The location, the beach, the food, the owners, other guests…it was all fantastic. We had a very good time there and definitely recommend going there. We miss this place already.

“Remote Sri Lanka - no fuss and no bother”
+Everything except maybe the bathroom I. The dormatory! 😂 For this experience who cares about a broken toilet seat and a lack of paper! It was a highlight of my trip to stay and surf here. I am sure I'll be back!
−Nothing really... Even the coffee was good and strong. 👍

“Good”
+Nice location & view.
−One staff member made me feel quite uncomfortable as a solo female traveller. He made comments about the shirt I was wearing and would often stand by my table when there wasn't much to do, which felt intrusive. I also witnessed him giving another female guest a massage while another staff member filmed it. Although she appeared to be trying to be polite and accepting, I personally found the interaction inappropriate in that setting. As a solo traveller, it left me feeling self conscious and less at ease spending time there.
