“One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! The owner and his team are so thoughtful. The breakfast is incredible with several options (oats, pancakes, string hoppers, coconut roti). The location is great, it’s central and located on a quiet side street across from the beach. I also like the type of guests this hostel has attracts, most of which being young professionals who are considerate of the peaceful atmosphere. I will be staying here again next time I come to Arugam Bay!”
“The best hosts in all Sri lanka!!! Chana and his father was super helpfull and it deffintly made my trip, They became a family to me. The location is just on the beach and every evening is a different adventure - party / bar / fire /relax on beds by the beach.
Would deffinatly recommend❣️”
“I loved my stay at The Point Bay! The room and bathroom were clean and there’s plenty of space. I work remotely and the room was perfect - there’s a desk and good internet. All of the staff are so kind and helpful, make you feel at home. The breakfast is delicious and very generous, perfect after a surf! The accommodation is in a perfect spot to wander down to the beach/surf, with the supermarket, cafes and restaurants all super close.”
“Perfect location, perfect service, perfect room. I couldn't ask for anything more! Highly recommend a tour with Dilan, the owner of the property to Crocodile Rock as well as Kumana Safari.
Only 100m from the main beach and all the best bars/restaurants.
Will definitely be back!”
