Location at the lonely beach near Pottuvil Point was beautiful and also way less crowded with the surrounding farmlands. Chilled hide-out compared to party-tourism at Arugam Bay main beach. We’ve even seen an elephant at Pottuvil Point. Staff and manager were super friendly, extremely helpful and took care that the place felt like home - and hands-down: best hotel food in our entire Sri Lanka round travel - looking forward to receiving your Dhal receipe :)

the cabanas are right on the beach, you can wake up and walk straight into the ocean! the staff became our friends and did so much for us. the rooms are basic but have everything you need for a comfortable stay - including a variety of electrical outlets for many countries. cold water showers are a relief in the sticky, humid conditions in Arugam bay. location is ideal, on the main strip, near restaurants and shops. I came to stay 3 days and stayed 11, I’ll be back at the end of this week for an extra 3 days.

As fresh as a daisy. The staff and service provided were top noch. Sri lankan hospitality at its finest. With attention and care given to every detail, but not in an intrusive way. All requests were met with a smile. Villa was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Most amazing was the convenience of lovely sunrise at the beach in front of Villa, sunset views and very quiet place. We will sure come back again. Thank you to oceano surf team

Great staff and cute little beach huts! Very quiet location right on the beach. This is the perfect hide away if you want to avoid the party scene in Arugam but stay close to the surf. The owner helped us renting a tuktuk and we drove around with our surf boards on top. The food they are serving is very tasty, fresh and very cheap.
