    The room (king) was very spacious and comfortable with a verandah and sofa outside. The location was very close to the main beach (2 min walk) but also secluded enough that it was not noisy plus the small number of rooms (4) made it even more serene. The staff were excellent. Even though the breakfasts offered were western (the muesli/fruit and yoghurt was delicious), when we requested a Sri Lankan Breakfast for one morning, Gamini (staff) obliged by catering some home cooked breakfast.

    Beautiful and comfortable stay in a central area, near to the beach. The owner and his family made our stay very nice and easy. Very comfortable beds, clean rooms, beautiful garden, tasty breakfast and a quite place to relax. We will come back soon. Thank you Forcus and family.

    It can be a bit noisy because the hotel is centrally located, but also because the rooms are not well isolated. The breakfast was ok but not great.

    We really enjoyed our stay, the rooms are nice and the beds very comfortable. The hotel is surrounded by a nice garden and located close to the beach and restaurants, so very convenient. The staff is friendly. Overall a good place to stay in Arugam Bay.

    Owner of property completely disinterested in his guests, was there every day and didn’t say anything over the duration. Not at all welcoming. Accomodation over priced for the service, the location is the saving grace.

    Good location, a little noisy at times.

    The rooms are comfortable and there are seating areas outside of each caban so you can enjoy the garden area which is gorgeous! Peace and quiet and luscious surroundings, who could ask for more? Kevin and his wife are excellent hosts, offering suggestions and full of good advice. He even arranged a cooking class for us. So kind!

    The should consider to put a shower door which, instead, is open and the bathroom get wet everytime.

    The hotel is very small, few rooms, in the center of the village. Very clean and the staff is the best staff we met in our tour!

    The only thing that could be improved is the shower

    The cabanas are located in the very center of Arugam Bay, making everything accessible by foot. At the same time the place is quite and private, allowing you to quit the beach in the hot hours to chill on the sofa just outside your room. Breakfast is wonderful and flexible in terms of timing, so that you can surf or yoga and then come back.

    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.
