We stayed three wonderful nights in Tropicana Home Stay. We have traveled around Sri Lanka and stayed in many hotels and guesthouses. This is one of the nicest and cleanest rooms we have had. Also with excellent Internet. It is a small family owned guesthouse with a small supermarket right next doors. The family feeling makes it very cost and accomodating. The owner cocked us a barbecue on our last evening. We can highly recommend this home stay.

The host is the best guy, very accommodating, happy, lovely, genuine and nothing is ever too much to ask. He helped organise surf boards for us and provided us with many excellent local recommendations. The location is incredible, very close to the beach (where you can also surf) and all the restaurants and shops. The homestay is peaceful and homely with a lovely outdoor area. Breakfast is amazing and different every morning which is really appreciated. He offers food for lunch and dinner which we had and it was delicious and a great opportunity to try genuine local food. He also provides a tuktuk for hire and excellent laundry service for great value. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a large fan. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, it has been the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka and we cannot wait to return to stay here in the future.

Clean room and wonderful staff. I had an injury and felt unwell during my trip, but Musa, one of the staff members, was always concerned about me. He arranged hospital visits and even prepared breakfast to suit my condition. I highly recommend this place.

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.
