Warmly greeted with a cold drink by the genial host Iqbal. Invited to treat the place like home including using the kitchen to make tea and coffee. Large, well furnished (amazingly with pegs and shelves!) and very comfortable room with an enormous bathroom and hot water. Fabulous variety of breakfasts throughout our 5 night stay and wide variety of restaurants nearby for lunches and dinner. Good local rates for scooter hire.

This property was located close to town and all the restaurants as well as the most wonderful little swim beach! Kevin was an incredible host and the rooms were large and clean! As we traveled out of season breakfast wasn’t provided, but we were able to use the kitchen to make ourselves meals. Highly recommend this property!

We love this place so much. This was our second time staying here. We had stayed last year and we were delighted there was availability for our dates this year. The room is great. Clean and spacious, and cool (much needed in Arugam Bay). The place is a short walking distance from the main street but is just far enough away from the bustle and noise, and remains quiet and peaceful (rare in Arugam Bay!). The caretaker Musa is a true gem. I love the communal kitchen area. We really feel at home here and will always choose Gypcey when visiting Arugam Bay. Thanks again to the Gypcey team! Book as far as you can in advance here because there are only a few rooms and it gets booked up quickly - as it should.

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.
