Guest Reviews

• Axel (10/5): Amazing stay in Arugam Bay ! - Rooms are great ! Location is amazing and the staff is so nice and helpful !
• Fabrizio (10/5): - "Abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno davvero tranquillo e rilassante al Tropicana. Il posto era pulito, confortevole e immerso in una natura meravigliosa. Il proprietario, Jazz, è stata gentilissimo e ci ha fatto sentire come a casa. Lo consiglio vivamente a chiunque cerchi una vacanza all'insegna della tranquillità." Niente
• Valérie (10/5): -
• Diény (3/5): -
• Arabella (10/5): Very helpful staff and a lovely location - - Lovely staff who were really helpful - Nice sized room
• Вартазарова (10/5): Великолепное место, всем советую! - Великолепное место, всем советую! Останавливались на несколько дней, очень удобной локация, в 2 минутах от океана, замечательно провели время. Очень доброжелательный хозяин, помогал нам со всеми вопросами, вкусная и сытная еда, очень большие порции. Также в отеле можно запросить уроки по серфу, отдельный балл за инструктора, который все доходчиво объяснял и помогал
• Oscar (10/5): Great place to stay - Clean and lovely room Nothing
• Diederik (9/5): - AC works properly. Large room. Very close to the beach. Owner is super nice and attentive. The curtains don’t block much light. We also had an issue with a group of guests throwing late-night parties while we had early mornings for safari and surfing. They didn’t respond to requests from either the owner or myself for the first two nights, but by the third night the owner resolved it and the rest of the stay was peaceful. Worth noting this kind of thing can happen at any guesthouse in Arugam Bay.
• Alex (10/5): Amazing stay 😍 - Literally everything! The kindness of Jesath and Miska and their entire family is beyond compare. They go out their way to make you feel good and meet your needs. The rooms are spotless clean, near the beach and very quiet. Bathroom is large and comfortable. Breakfast freshly cooked is to die for ❤️ Every time I come to Arugam Bay I stay at Tropicana. Can’t recommend this place more 😁
• Dror (10/5): - אחלה בעלים ,מאוד נחמדים ואוהבים ישראלים והמלון במיקום מדויק . ממליץ מאוד
• Marleen (10/5): Geweldig! - De hosts waren heel vriendelijk. We waren de eerste van het seizoen na een mooie renovatie en werden uitgenodigd voor een heerlijk diner! Dat was geweldig, ondanks het verliezen van de kaartspelletjes achteraf :). Het ontbijt was top en ze hadden goede tips voor activiteiten in de buurt. De kamer was ruim en schoon. -
• Juliette (10/5): Fijne ruime kamer. Schoon en met goede faciliteiten. Goede locatie, dichtbij het strand en het centrum maar wel een rust -
• Jeffrey (9/5): - Ruime kamer met fijn bed. Badkamer is ook ruim en heeft een prima douche met warmwater. De host ontvangt je vriendelijk en wil ervoor zorgen dat je het helemaal naar je zin hebt. De kamers zitten rondom het ontbijtgedeelte en vanaf heel vroeg ‘s ochtends hoor je de familie al. Als je een uitslaper bent kan dit je storen. Wij hadden een kakkerlak op de kamer.
• Sophie (9/5): - Fijne kamer met een goed bed! En hele lieve mensen.
• Tamir (9/5): -
• Stan (8/5): Perfecte plek in surfwahalla - Perfecte ligging dichtbij het strand en de leuke restaurantjes. Prima, ruime kamers Geen hele krachtige douche
• Vera (10/5): -
• Cathy (9/5): - We really enjoyed our stay! The host was super nice. He cooked us a very nice dinner and we played some games with other guests as well. Really liked this social part (but was also okay to not participate if you do not like that). Location was great, super close to the beach and close to all kinds of nice restaurants. Would definitely recommend!
• Rein Jacob (8/5): - Great location and Jazz was very friendly. Good price-quality. The room is big and has a good (and quiet) AC. Warm shower too. We had a comfortable stay and even played games with other guests and homestay owner Jazz. The welcoming can be a bit more personal in my taste (e.g. an explanation of the room, facilities and breakfast arrangements). An extra towel in the bathroom for hands drying would be nice. There is not much natural light in the rooms as the room faces an inside garden.
• Giulio (10/5): - Sulla strada principale di arugam bay, ma in zona tranquilla. A 50mt dalla spiaggia. L’host gentilissimo, sempre disponibile. Ci ha anche aiutati a prenotare varie cose. La camera è spaziosa, sempre pulita, con AC. La connessione Internet buona. consigliato
• Thyme (10/5): Must stay in Arugam Bay!! - Jaz en zijn familie zij fantastische hosts! Behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Locatie is top en kamer netjes en schoon! Ook genoten van het heerlijke eten.
• Sarah (8/5): -
• Lucas (10/5): Great would go again - Service Bed was old so when you turn it squeekes
• Fabrizio (10/5): My second house - The location is perfect, in the centre of Arugam Bay, with many restaurants, spas and beach enterings nearby. The staff was the best - the owner is truly an amazing and helpful person. Organizing surf lesson & safari trips with the staff in the hotel and the service is always on point. In the room there is everything you may need, a clothes dryer and a shower outside which is convenient after surfing or if you want to cool your drinks in the fridge. The room is comfy and very clean and the AC works well, the bed is also big. Would totally recommend :) Nothing :)
• ANDREI (10/5): - — локация прямо в центре — у владельца рядом отличный магазин со всем необходимым — мало света в бюджетных комнатах — кухню пора обновлять — шум от главной улицы — цена чуть выше, но вы платите за удобную локацию
• Virginie (10/5): - Une guesthouse au top. Jaz et Miska sont adorables. Le petit déjeuner est très bien. Miska est très attentionné pour la satisfaction de ses clients. Une très belle rencontre. L’emplacement est très bien dans la rue principale mais en extérieur ce qui fait qu’il n’y a pas trop de bruit, Pour nous il manquait un petit réfrigérateur mais nous avions une chambre économique. Dans les nouvelles chambres il y en a. Sinon RAS
• Julia (7/5): Ogólnie jesteśmy zadowoleni z pobytu w tym miejscu, ale jest trochę rzeczy do poprawy, gdyż byliśmy w tańszych miejscac - - Miły właściciel, przyjemna atmosfera - Pokój ładny, ale bardzo podstawowy - Dużo roślinności na terenie obiektu - Dobra lokalizacja, bardzo blisko do plaży - Obecność sklepiku prowadzonego w obiekcie to dodatkowy atut - Dużo robaków, przez co musieliśmy trochę się natrudzić, żeby nic nas nie pogryzło (nieszczelne drzwi), w pokoju czekał na nas na przywitanie dosyć spory pająk. - Brakowało wieszaków, jakiegos fotela albo nawet dodatkowego krzesła, plecaki mieliśmy cały czas na podłodze - Pokój i łazienka nie były wystarczająco czyste - Dosyć wysoka cena jak na brak powyższych standardów
• Alba Del Rocio (6/5): Bien - La ubicación y el trato del personal. La cama era cómoda y las sabanas estaban bien limpias. La limpieza en el baño no era suficiente. Relación calidad-precio, consideramos que es un precio elevado en comparación con otros hospedajes de la zona.
• Jordi (7/5): Prima - Ruime kamers, groot en fijn bed. Prima badkamer. Handig dat er ook een koelkast aanwezig is en de supermarkt zit aan het verblijf vast. De locatie is top. We verbleven hier 4 nachten. Het is een echte homestay, maar we misten het persoonlijke contact met de hosts. Het enige contact dat er vanuit hen was ging om een betaling. Verder hebben we een paar ochtenden op een vroeg tijdstip last gehad van het geluid van de kinderen. Er was geen parkeerplaats beschikbaar op het terrein, hoewel alle kamers uitkijken op een soort garagestalling.
• Lola (10/5): -
• Van Rompaye (9/5): - Heel mooie accommodatie op een paar minuutjes stappen van het strand. Heel vriendelijke eigenaren die je met een glimlach helpen en wegwijs maken. Arugam Bay is redelijk druk en toeristisch maar deze homestay ligt toch rustig en is 's avonds heel stil. De eigenaar regelde ook een safari voor ons. Aanrader! Niks:)
• Yasmai (8/5): - Prima verblijf, centraal gelegen bij het centrum Relatief prijzig en als je wil pinnen komt er nog 3% bij
• Victoria (10/5): Everything was clean and friendly - would recommend! - The rooms were spacious and clean. Also the bathroom was one of the better ones that we experienced during our Sri Lanka trip. The bed had a mosquito net, we didn’t need. AC worked well. The location was very close to the beach and the family owns a little shop with water etc. which is nice if you need to quickly grab something. They also offer other services like laundry and taxi which we didn’t need. Breakfast is included and you get tea or coffee, fresh fruits and either toast with egg or typical breakfast. Nothing really. The room is a bit bright at night because the fabric doesn’t fully block the light.
• Or (10/5): Outstanding place - Friendly staff, room is clean & spacious. Warm welcome. Good value for money, location is next to beach.
• Ward (10/5): Perfecte uitvalsbasis om Arugam Bay te verkennen - De gastvrijheid waarmee je wordt ontvangen (wij mochten de laatste avond zelfs mee met het gezin aan tafel schuiven), de ruime en comfortabele kamers en de locatie
• Ward (10/5): De place to be in Arugam Bay - Jazz is enorm behulpzaam en betrokken, fanastische plek
• Jan (10/5): - Kind owners and clean rooms, right in the middle of Arugam bay and few steps from the beach.
• Lucía (4/5): Esperaba más - La ubicación La habitación era menos luminosa de lo que parecía en las fotos, al estar dentro de una especie de patio interior. El baño bastante mejorable. En nuestro caso el váter perdia agua, provocando bastante mal olor. Por la mañana el personal fue bastante ruidoso, sin tener en cuenta la proximidad a las habitaciones y lo temprano que era.
• Manuel (10/5): Top Unterkunft mit bestem Frühstück - Jazz und seine Familie machen einen tollen Job und sind sehr liebe Menschen! Sie haben uns sehr nett empfangen und sogar zum Abendessen aufgrund unserer Flitterwochen eingeladen, sowas erfährt man selten. Das Zimmer war für unsere Bedürfnisse mehr als ausreichend, es war vor allem sauber und das Fliegengitter ist super! Es ist nur 2 Gehminuten vom Strand entfernt, ein Supermarkt ist direkt nebenan mit allem, was man benötigt und man ist trotzdem direkt im Zentrum, direkt im herzen von Arugam bay. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das fantastische Frühstück! Wir hatten das traditionelle Sri Lankanische und es war das beste unserer Sri Lanka Reise: frisch, viel und vor allem sehr sehr lecker! -
• Daniela_P (10/5): Perfect stay at Arugam Bay! - The room was simple but perfect, very clean, wide and welcoming, super comfortable bed. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they supported us in booking a shared taxi for a long transfer. Position is perfect, close to the ocean and to the central road of Arugam Bay, but still very quiet. Absolutely recommended!
• Irati (8/5): - La ubicación era muy buena y el personal amable ☺️
• Hannes (10/5): - Das Frühstück war sehr abwechslungsreich und sehr lecker. Der Strand ist in 1 Minute erreichbar, die Lage ist wirklich toll. Das Zimmer war sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was wir beim Budget-Zimmer erwartet und benötigt haben. Am letzten Abend durften wir sogar mit der Gastfamilie zu Abend essen und hatten nette Gespräche. Sehr empfehlenswert ist zudem die Safari und Surfkurse beim Freund des Eigentümers. Dies organisiert der Eigentümer für die Gäste zu einem sehr fairen Preis.
• Brittijn (9/5): -
• Michel (10/5): -
• Sadan (10/5): - Was great stay :)
• Ralph (8/5): Fijn verblijf door perfecte ligging. - De ligging is perfect. Restaurantjes en winkeltjes op loopafstand. Strand ook op loopafstand. Klein minpuntje. De moskee ‘s ochtends vroeg. Maar dat duurt gelukkig niet lang.
• Clara (8/5): Facile, pratique, accueillant :) - Le rapport qualité prix est très bien. Service de laundry très bien Chambre ok Proche de la mer Proximité route mais c’est ok
• Youssef (9/5): - I really enjoyed my stay here in . The hotel has a very warm, friendly and family-like atmosphere that makes you feel at home right away. The staff are kind, welcoming and always ready to help. It’s a simple place, but very comfortable and relaxed — perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the beach and the laid-back vibe of the town. Would definitely recommend for anyone who values friendliness and a cozy stay.
• Lena (10/5): Great place in the heart of Arugam Bay town - One of the best accommodations we had in Sri Lanka. We stayed there for 2 nights but were really sorry we didn't stay longer in the end. The rooms are perfect for someone who wants to enjoy Arugam bay, stay close to all cafes, restaurants, as well as the beach, and still wants some comfort. The accommodation is located on the main street in Arugam Bay but somehow still closed off enough that it remains peaceful. The rooms were clean, bathroom and shower amazing, beds veeeery comfortable and the AC perfect. The curtains keep the light out really well which is great if you like to sleep in in the morning. The hosts are very kind and were constantly asking if we have everything we need. I will definitely stay here again if I come back to Arugam Bay! Everything was perfect.
• Romy (9/5): Perfecte locatie - Locatie en personeel De druk van de douche was laag
• Marta (10/5): Consigliatissimo - Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Persone fantastiche. Colazione buonissima. Tornerò sicuramente!
• Denise (10/5): - Super vriendelijk en hartelijk personeel. We werden zelfs uitgenodigd voor diner. Eigenaren zijn vriendelijk en veel humor. Ook safari via hen geregeld, erg leuk! Niks
• Denise (10/5): - Personeel super vriendelijk en hartelijk! Ook een safari geregeld via hen, was super!! Niks
• Sebastian (10/5): Wir haben uns wohlgefüllt eine perfekte Unterkunft für paar Übernachtungen - Gute Lage, sehr nah am Strand maximal 100m entfernt aber auch direkt im Ort ohne zu viel Krach. Zimmer ist groß mit Moskitonetz, Klimaanlage und Deckenventilator sowie einem kleinen Kühlschrank ausgestattet und die kleine Terrasse vor der Tür ist auch sehr praktisch um sich Abends hinzusetzen oder Sachen vom Strand zu trocknen. Der Besitzer hat unteranderem einen kleinen Shop der an die Unterkunft angrenzt so das man immer schnell Sachen im Shop kaufen und besorgen kann. Es fehlte etwas an offenen Ablagen. Ein geschlossener Schrank war zwar da, jedoch wollten wir dort unsere Kleidung nicht reinlegen. Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche ist sehr gering - es gibt sowohl warmes auch auch kaltes Wasser. Das Frühstück war bis jetzt auf der Reise das schlichteste aber dennoch gut.
• Giulia (9/5): Spiaggia e Safari ad Arugam Bay - Struttura accogliente, a due passi dalla spiaggia e sulla via principale. Staff super gentile che ci ha aiutato ad organizzare il safari al Kumana National Park e lo spostamento per Trincomalee. Camera spaziosa, bagno ben curato, entrambi pulitissimi. Colazione ottima.
• Arne (9/5): Rustige accommodatie in het centrum van Arugam Bay - Accommodatie met zeer goede ligging in Arugam Bay, hartelijk ontvangst door de host en zijn familie. Pluspunt voor de grote kamers!
• Marcel (7/5): Fijne locatie; boek vooral de superieur kamer die biedt wel waarde voor z'n geld. - Prima locatie dichtbij de restaurantjes en het strand. Superieur kamer was prima. Een van onze tassen was stuk en die heeft de vrouwelijke host voor ons gemaakt, super fijn! Laatste avond zijn we uitgenodigd door de host om met een paar andere gasten te komen eten. Was een leuke avond. We hadden een budget kamer (die qua prijs in vergelijking met ander accommodaties niet zo budget was) en een superieur kamer (deze prijs-kwaliteitverhouding was prima). De budget kamer lag aan de doorgaande weg. 's Nachts best veel last van doorgaand verkeer gehad. De badkamer van de budget kamer was ook spartaans (na het douchen alles nat en geen trekker of dweil beschikbaar zodat je na het naar de wc gaan natte voeten hebt). Het uitzicht vanaf het eigen terras was niet heel leuk (oprit met auto en motor en het magazijn van de naastgelegen supermarkt).
• Kasia (8/5): -
• Monica (6/5): - The location of the homestay is excellent — very central and convenient for getting around. We also really enjoyed the breakfast, which was tasty and well-prepared. We booked a budget room, and unfortunately, the standard was quite low. The room was not very clean, the bathroom definitely needs renovation, and there were several mosquitoes, which made the stay uncomfortable.
• Gabriele (10/5): Soggiorno fantastico ad Arugam Bay - Struttura accogliente, la camera era molto pulita e lo staff gentile. La posizione è perfetta, situata in mezzo alla via centrale e praticamente a 1 minuto dalla spiaggia. Colazione abbondante e buona. Abbiamo prenotato la lezione di surf direttamente in struttura il che ci ha fatto pure risparmiare (90min. 5k lkr). Se visitate Arugam Bay non fate il nostro errore, restate almeno due notti perché ne vale la pena!
• Hylke (9/5): -
• IURII (10/5): Рекомендую - Хорошее расположение, в самом центре среди магазинов и кафе. Но несмотря на это в номере было тихо, не было слышно звуков из улицы. Номера простые, но все необходимое есть: горячая вода, кондиционер, холодильник, вода. Чисто. До моря 2 минуты. Ничего
• Gerbrand (10/5): - We hebben 5 nachten verbleven bij Tropicana Homestay en het was een fantastische ervaring. De locatie is ideaal, dichtbij het strand en het centrum. Jazz en zijn familie hebben ons ontzettend goed verzorgd en gaven ons echt een huiselijk gevoel. Jazz voelde als een vriend en nam ons zelfs mee op een nachtsafari, wat een geweldige ervaring was. Ook hebben we gezellig samen gegeten, wat het verblijf extra bijzonder maakte. Rizzie, onze surfinstructeur, was ook geweldig en heeft ons super geholpen met surfen. Alles was perfect geregeld, en het voelde echt als thuis. Ze denken goed met je mee en doen alles om je verblijf prettig te maken. Echt een aanrader!
• Ramona (9/5): -
• Twan (8/5): -
• Ahmad Reza (10/5): Exceptional host, amazing food, lovely place. - Jazz and his beautiful family were amazing hosts. First, he arranged a very good taxi with a professional driver(And also a VERY fair price) that took us from Colombo to his resort. I couldn't join my partner at the beginning of our stay and she was alone for the most part during our stay here. Jazz knowing about it, he and his beautiful family, alongside this beautiful Dutch couple, made sure that she would have the best time with various activity and their warm company. Overall, she really enjoyed her stay. He even managed an expedition for her alongside that couple at night, to find exotic animals. On the last day when I arrived, not only was I greeted with the highest of hospitality, but also an exceptionally delicious lunch(you can trust my taste, I'm an Iranian), which wasn't included in our plan at all. Also in the reviews I saw some people found the route to the beach difficult. From my personal experience, that is far from the truth. The resort is less than 100 meters away from the beach, it's just a simple walk. If I come to Arugam Bay again, I'll choose this place 100%.
• Sophie (10/5): Amazing - Supernice family running the homestay, the room is clean and the bed very cosy. It is very quiet at night and we felt very at home. Would recommend this to everyone!
• beth (10/5): - The host was very friendly. Beautiful local accommodation, very close to the beach and restaurants. Having to leave 😭. We only stayed 2 nights . Recommended you stay at least 4 nights in Arugam Bay.
• Jay (7/5): Very nice low budget accommodation. Would recommend. - Close access to the beach. Very helpful owner. Our toilet didn’t flush very strong.
• Flore (10/5): Lovely homestay in the city center - Central location and friendly owners. /
• Réka (10/5): Definitely recommend it!! - Location was great, we had everything nearby. Welcoming hosts, who made sure we have everything, also happily gave extra info/ideas we needed. Room was spacious and the bed was comfyyy They also let us keep our bags there while we stayed in the town
• lior (8/5): - מיקום, מחיר זול באופן יחסי יתושים, זרם מים חלש במקלחת
• Tinne (9/5): -
• Delia (10/5): Wonderful stay would come back for sure! - The room was super clean, they even have laundry service. We loved the location, close to everything but quiet for a good sleep at night. Very close to the beach as well. The breakfast was delicious and Jazz and his family were so friendly and made us feel comfortable. He even organised a little home cooked dinner with other guests which was lovely. It is not only an accommodation but also a place to connect with this wonderful local family. The internet also worked super well :) thank you for everything Jazz and family!
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Fabienne (10/5): -
• Márk (10/5): -
• Jessica (9/5): - L'hotel è in posizione centralissima, tanto al lato della spiaggia, dei ristoranti e delle diverse attività. La stanza è spaziosa e con un piccolo terrazzo. L'hotel ci ha permesso di prenotare la lezione di surf a prezzi davvero onesti e di alta qualità, nonché di darci dritte su come muoverci con treni e autobus. Benvenuto con succo. La pulizia delle camere potrebbe essere migliorata.
• Márk (10/5): -
• Manuel (7/5): - Good location and quite room The room had many mosquitos and other insects when we arrived. Breakfast quality below the average of the rest of hotels we stayed in the country.
• Nerida (10/5): Good home stay with friendly people - Loved staying with a friendly family. Rooms are good with good airconditioning. Handy having shop next door. Nice breakfast with choices.
• Janina (8/5): -
• Márk (10/5): - Jazz the owner, his family and his staff was very kind and helpful. They can manage lots of services in-house (surf coach, laundry, taxi, etc.). They have even convenience store in-house. So all daily facilities are there for a perfect surf holiday. If you need surf training ask for Risy.
• Guest (10/5): Herzlicher Gastgeber & Top Lage - Die Lage war Top und netter Innenhof Hat den Straßenlärm kaum gehört Bieten alles an - von Safari, Taxi bis zu Wäscheservice Wurden nach der Safari Tour vom Gastgeber zum gemeinsamen Essen eingeladen und haben im Anschluss Karten gespielt :) Die Zimmer sind schön groß und haben alles, was man so braucht. Frühstück auf Anfrage zubereitet (mehr westlich oder Sri Lanka Style) Wurde nicht durchgeputzt, aber das wurde in keiner Unterkunft in Sri Lanka.
• kimberley (7/5): Hartelijke host en goede locatie, baten ook een supermarktje uit. - Superior room ! Budget room was heel rumoerig langs straatkant en kon wel wat vernieuwing gebruiken. Maar perfect voor een budget kamer.
• Andrea (10/5): - The place is located in a very nice position in Arugam bay, just a couple of meters from the main beach! The rooms and the price were good and you also have the possibility to book a surf lessions with them! The owner and all the staff were very nice and friendly persons. I highly reccomend this place!
• Jessica (10/5): -
• Liz (9/5): Fantastisch! - Erg vriendelijk personeel. We hebben in de avond gezellig een spelletje met ze gedaan. Ruime kamer, ruim bed. Goede douche. Fijne airco en koelkast. Locatie perfect, in het centrum en niet te druk. Niks eigenlijk
• Julie (9/5): SUPERBE ! - Le staff au top ! Proche de tout, supérette, Surfshop (Ajimal Choco), magasins, restaurants, spots de surf (baby point, main point) possibilité de faire du change sur place à moindre coûts directement par l’hôtel (EUR, USD, RS). Un grand merci à Jazz, sa femme et à leur équipe (famille) pour avoir rendu notre séjour ici à ARUGAM Bay superbe !
• Bram (8/5): -
• Fabrizio (10/5): - Great stay with great hosts! + Great location! Very central, but still isolated from party music! This room is very spacious with air conditioning and mosquito net! The hosts are absolutely accommodating and help with all questions! The highlight was the shared dinner, homemade cooked with a wonderful game night! We'll be back. Nothing
• Mirjam (8/5): - Een fijn verblijf op een top locatie! De eigenaar + familie zijn echt hele lieve mensen die er alles aan doen om je verblijf super te maken! De kamers zijn vrij simpel, niet zoveel sfeer.
• SATISH (8/5): Clean calm cozy stay - It’s nearby beach as well as on the main road. Staffs were welcoming and provided good SriLankan breakfast. WiFi was really good.
• Ann-Kathrin (8/5): Tolle Unterkunft in Arugam Bay - Sehr gute Unterkunft auf der Hauptstraße von Arugam Bay. Zimmer sind sehr geräumig und sauber. Klimaanlage funktioniert sehr gut. Gastgeber und seine Familie sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Safari Tour und Laundry Service über das Hotel gebucht. Frühstück mit Auswahl aus Sri Lanka Frühstück und American Frühstück. Mit einer Auswahl an frischem Obst. Sehr lecker. Kleiner Balkon vor dem Zimmer. Strand 2 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt Einmal Zimmerservice in 4 Tagen wäre nett gewesen.
• Nieraad (8/5): - Friendly staff and very clean. Tasty breakfast. Very close to good restaurants and bars. Little bit loud due to the close streat
• Deborah Joana (5/5): -
• Flavia (10/5): -
• Hans van Wakeren (10/5): Friendly and quality! - Very central location to beach and town centre. Nice and clean room, good matress, silent airco. Very friendly family who also arranges quality extra's like surf lessons and taxi transfers. And I enjoyed the variety in breakfast. Highly recommendable!
• Flavia (10/5): amazing homestay experience - I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this homestay. The family is incredibly kind, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything you need – they truly made me feel at home from the very first moment. The location is in a quieter area, but you can still get to the restaurants and bars quickly – everything is just a short walk away, which was super convenient. There’s also a supermarket right next to the homestay, which was definitely a small bonus. I originally planned to stay for a short time but ended up extending twice – in total, I spent two weeks in the superior room. The room was spacious, very clean, and even had hot water in the shower. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay. I will definitely come back!
