If you want cheap and close to the beaches then go for it.
It’s close to the beaches and the life of arugam bay. The staff were super friendly and really accommodating to our needs.
It is a little rough and ready but value for money.

Clean, basic room with ac, fan and a seating area outside. The hosts are amazing at Crystal Bay and couldn't do enough to make our stay memorable. The owner organised great surf lessons and a fabulous safari where we saw…
