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.

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!

We spent a great week at Apple's place. He's is very kind and helpful, full of good advice. The breakfast is delicious. The place is convenient, super close to the beach and all the restaurants but still in a calm village road. We would definitely come back!

Was a bit sceptical about the place because of a very few reviews, but they are newly open and it's a really good place to stay in Arugambay. Booked 1 night, but stayed for 2 more. The place is near main street, but not too close so it's not too noisy. The room I had is basic, but with everything you need for a short or longer stay. They even allow you to use their kitchen to keep and cook food if you like to. Breakfast is common Sri Lankan dishes, but is tasty and plentiful. Guys working here are cool and will help you with anything you need. Enjoyed my stay!

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!
