    Really nice place to stay in Arugam Bay. The hotel has a nice ambient, beautiful garden. The owner and the staff are lovely and very helpful. We had good chats and they help us in any way we needed. The room was clean and nice, just like the bathroom. It has a very good value for the price. AC works fine and there is a ceiling fan as well. The beach is just the end of the street, 50 meters. There are many good places to eat nearby.

    Had a great stay at Beach Cap Resort! The room was clean, comfortable, and came with strong air conditioning – perfect after a hot day at the beach. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, and the host was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend for a chill, hassle-free stay in Arugam Bay.

    Everything was perfect

    The bed is really huge and comfortable with a mosquito net, the AC in the room is working good and the bathroom was nice. Everything was clean and it was all decorated with a lot of love. In front of the entrance there’s also a place to sit outside or lie in a hammock. Nayeem the manager loves gardening and has a lot of different plants outside. We felt really welcomed from the beginning. Nayeem’s kindness and generosity is overwhelming! Also Ashib is very very kind! You can use the kitchen as well! The place is situated very good, you’re near the beach so you hear the waves breaking from the room and you’re near the Main Street (restaurants, markets, shops) but no too near so you don’t hear all the noise. We would definitely come again!

    Perfect location right by the beach and in town (far enough away from the noise but still extremely close to restaurants etc). The hosts are lovely and so laid back, helping with anything and organise things as needed. Comfy beds and good AC.

    The property is located right by the beach. Very welcoming host and very helpful. We arranged a Safari through Beach Cab resort as well. The room we had was super clean and the bed sooo comfortable. Even if Breakfast is not included we got offered a coffee every morning. I really recommend Beach Cab Resort for your stay in Arugam.

    An overhead fan on the personal patio space - either the ground level or balcony - would make sitting there more comfortable.

    Hidden down an alley up the northern side of Arugam Bay is Beach Cab Resort, a cosy little place right next to a good section of beach. The staff here are very friendly and let us check in the early hours of the morning. The garden around the cabins is well kept and you can see butterflies and native birds around. The AC is also very good and will chill the room very quick.

    My stay at Beach Cap was fantastic the staff really make this small hotel amazing. The friendly staff provided an excellent laundry service and will make the best coffee in the morning they have become close friends because of the way they are and their hospitality. Nayeem the manager runs the accommodation very well and will even take you excursions to see elements and crocodiles. The local Tuk Tuk driver Mauna would go out of his way to take you anywhere you want at a very reasonable price even for a morning surf at 4:30 am The room was excellent with a large very comfortable double bed, good air conditioning and its own private en-suite shower room that was very clean. There is also a private courtyard attached to each room with a hammock coffee table and a few chairs I can put my hand on my heart and say that this is the very best place that I have stayed ❤️

    The garden space was bit smaller than we had though based on the images, and other quests had their patios very close to ours, not much privacy. Even the other quests just discussed on normal voice level, all could be heard in the room. But not a big deal.

    Good location, nice small garden, own hammock patio. Great breakfast. The room had hooks for hanging clothes, good fan and decent ac. Host was helpful, and very nice guy.
