We had a lovely 3 week stay at Forcus. The facilities are modern and well maintained, with a comfortable bed, nice bathroom with open shower, and a beautiful outdoor area with the garden to enjoy. The staff is amazing! Kevin and the rest of the crew work tireless to make sure we have everything we need. They do roomcleaning whenever we want, and help us with several services like laundry, bike rental, tuktuk, and taxi transport. When theyre not helping us, they attend to the garden to keep it beautiful. We loved the breakfast! They offer a variation of different food. Banana pancakes was our favourite. Locations is great, if you want to be close to everything. Some noise from close bars is expected, but it didnt bother us.

Location: The location is ideal.It's situated just a few hundred meters away from the main road (Potuvil - Panama) and the beach, giving you the best of both worlds. You get easy access to all the main surf points and town amenities, but you're far enough away to enjoy complete peace and quiet. It's the perfect tranquil escape after a day in the sun. The Room & Amenities: The room was fantastic—very spacious,spotlessly clean, and designed with comfort in mind. It was equipped with all the required amenities, and everything was in great working order. It truly felt like a home away from home. Overall Experience: I can't fault this place.For the comfort, space, and serene atmosphere, it offers incredible value. I would gladly give it a perfect 10 out of 10 for the room and overall experience. It’s a gem that provides a quiet, convenient, and comfortable base for your Arugam Bay adventures. I will definitely be returning on my next trip!

The host is the best guy, very accommodating, happy, lovely, genuine and nothing is ever too much to ask. He helped organise surf boards for us and provided us with many excellent local recommendations. The location is incredible, very close to the beach (where you can also surf) and all the restaurants and shops. The homestay is peaceful and homely with a lovely outdoor area. Breakfast is amazing and different every morning which is really appreciated. He offers food for lunch and dinner which we had and it was delicious and a great opportunity to try genuine local food. He also provides a tuktuk for hire and excellent laundry service for great value. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a large fan. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, it has been the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka and we cannot wait to return to stay here in the future.

Really nice spacious place. It’s right on the beach and you can hear the waves while you lay in bed. The staff can help you with everything you want to do in Arugam Bay. We booked surf lessons, a safari, an rented a tuktuk through them. We took the tuktuk on a trip to the north they let us store our luggage at their place. It’s a little far away from the main street but within walking distance. Also, they are happy to arrange a tuktuk for you. I had a great stay and would stay here again for sure! Thanks for the great time!
