Jazz and his family are great hosts, their hospitality is unmatched. One evening, Jazz invited all guests to a free dinner at the homestay with typical Sri Lankan food, deliciously cooked by his wife. Afterwards, we played cards and had a good time together. Whatever we asked for- he could help: He arranged surf lessons, a safari through Kumana national park, laundry service, taxi, and even had great recommendations for restaurants close by. We can highly recommend the Tropicana homestay to everyone who wants to have a good time in Arugambay and connect with local and international people. Rooms were also clean and comfortable.

Very clean, quiet & comfortable with easy access to the shops and beach. Our host, Nisha, was very sweet & even invited us to dinner on our first night where she cooked up a delicious feast! She assisted with a lagoon tour and laundry.

Apple is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet in Sri Lanka—if not in the entire world. I’ve never been so sad to leave an accommodation before; it truly felt like leaving a friend behind. Hopefully, I’ll be back soon. Not to mention great breakfast and good quiet location but still very close to the town and the beach.

    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.
