Jazz and his family were incredible hosts. Jazz is incredibly welcoming and a great conversationalist. His wife even made us a delicious dinner one night! The rooms were perfect. The bed and pillows are comfortable, the wifi was fast and reliable, the shower was hot and had great water pressure, and the desk, kettle, and mini fridge were incredibly convenient for a long stay. We had such a lovely time here that we extended our stay twice! I cannot recommend Tropicana enough. We definitely will be back next time we're in Arugum Bay!

The location to main break and town is awesome, you can walk around to main point surf break (5mins) and also an easy 5 min walk along the beach the other way and can cut onto main road of Arugum really easily. Very accessible to what Arugum has to offer. Nisha and Kani (siblings) who run the property are absolute gems and are what made me enjoy Aragum, more than the crowded surfing! They’re are warm, friendly, love to chat and include you in family meals for everyone who works on site (we also made eggplant curry together and did a seafood bbq) and really gave a true sense of Sri Lankan culture to my trip. Thank you Nisha and Kani. They have tuk tuk’s on site to run you around for a nominal fee compared to tuk tuk’s in town, they’ll run you to surf spots early, into town to change out boards, nothing is a worry for them and they are super accomodating. Aircon works great, super good fans in room, if on high it would blow you off the bed - which was needed as when I was there the bay was super hot in the season beginning. The rooms are neat and clean and good value for money, especially given the location. Mosiquito nets around bed for peace of mind also! Drinking water provided near kitchen :):) Will stay again when I return! Thanks Nisha and Kani

Had a lovely stay at Yoga Shack for a week, it's a chilled surf, yoga community vibe. Location is great, right in the centre of town. Mike is an awesome host, attentive, accommodating, and great to hangout with. 3 yoga classes per day, and other cool activities like breathwork and ecstatic dance 🕺 Good wifi. Shared kitchen is always a win.

    Amazing place, near the beach. The rooms have AC and are spatious. It’s located on the ´main road’ nearby all restaurants and shops, yet it’s calm and not noisy. The owner is so friendly. He arranged our taxi to the next stop and he and his wife cooked for us, after that we played a card game. We had the best time in Tropicana Homestay. I would also recommend the surfing lessons, we had the best time with our teacher Rizy, who teached us properly and cared about our safety.
