I stayed here for around a week and a few more days...It was off season, I don't surf anyways, but was hoping to do some Windsurfing...well that isn't done in this part of the country either...So I didn't do any Windsurfing on my five month trip to Asia at all except the one day in Mui Ne Vietnam!!! But Arugam Bay is one of the nicest places I have ever been to period, I never did any Safaris because I didnt want to wake up at 4:30 AM. I did ride around a bit on my Scooter and the food at this hotel was pretty good!!! I actually never ate anywhere else!!! Anyways, the staff was pretty good, the owners very nice and I even ended up getting a free ride to Kandi on my last day from the owner...He even paid for our breakfast later!!! I tried to pay for a meal for his construction crew a few days earlier and they all kind of just flaked off...It was wierd, they could have had a buffet lunch, none of them showed up, at dinner time, I told them to come to the restaurant and just eat whatever, three of them came in and sat down for ten minutes and then wandered off!!! Anyways, I paid around 25 a night off season for a whole cottage to myself with AC and fans too!!! I was a little bored from the total lack of night life in the area and complete absence of any other tourists except for the dozen or so scattered throughout the little fishing village...But over all this hotel was my favorite in my whole month in the country. Yogaresh I think is the owner and a pretty good dude!!!
