We loved our stay at Gypcey home. We originally booked for 2 nights but ended up staying 5! The property was super clean, the rooms were lovely and spacious and it is in a prime location for accessing restaurants and the beach. Musa and his friends take great care of the property and its guests and helped us organise surf lessons, rides around town and were a great friendly face to have throughout our stay. Would recommend to anyone that they stay here in Arugam bay.

    Amazing place, near the beach. The rooms have AC and are spatious. It’s located on the ´main road’ nearby all restaurants and shops, yet it’s calm and not noisy. The owner is so friendly. He arranged our taxi to the next stop and he and his wife cooked for us, after that we played a card game. We had the best time in Tropicana Homestay. I would also recommend the surfing lessons, we had the best time with our teacher Rizy, who teached us properly and cared about our safety.
