Had a great time here. Quiet location. Very chilled out atmosphere. Courteous and professional staff. Rooms are clean on arrival and the manager is very helpful with requests. Takes a while to get food, but it's all prepared from scratch. Very fresh and worth the wait. The Cabanas at the front enjoy more breeze in the very hot afternoons. Good... More

We spent 5 nights at Galaxy. It was perfect! The Guys there were extremely helpful and friendly. Excellent service and good food. We're sure the place is good in season aswell but we totally enjoyed being among the lucky few who frequented this pearl in January. The large communal area became our living room. It felt like being at home... More

I spent 15 days in one of the Galaxy's cabanas, back in august 2011, with 3 friends in another cabana. We had a great time over there! The place is simply lovely, not the closest to the main point if you're there for surfing but well worth the 20 min walk, and you can catch a tuk tuk for 100... More

Beautiful beachside cabanas and bungalows in a totally idyllic location. The cabanas are fab with outside bathrooms, and so is the beachfront bungalow. Hammocks all round and the big sofas make it the perfect place to chill out and relax. The food is delicious and vodka and lime juice comes highly recommended !! It was so hard to leave

When arriving/booking you might want to order dinner for your arrival, I do not know why they don't just offer this, they could just suggest a curry and rice be ready for you when you arrive, the price of the food is very reasonable so I don't think many people would mind, and if they did they could say no....

We stayed at the Galaxy Lounge for five days this summer with our three teenagers. It was definitely the highlight of the whole trip to Sri Lanka for them, the youngest is constantly talking about it. Whether you're lounging around in the hammocks, taking a surfing lesson or heading to Yala East for a safari it's not really a problem... More

My family just spent 8 weeks (my wife and I in the stilted #1 and the two boys in #2) and loved the entire summer in the bay. Arugam Bay is a great place to hang out for a few days or weeks and during our 8 weeks I saw about everything there was to see there. This is the... More

We stayed in the Galaxy for two weeks and we loved it ! Its a real special place cause allmost all the people stayin there tend to relax in the "eating area " - so it becomes very familiar and you allways find somebody to chat with ... the garden really invites to relax and its just a few steps...

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
A great place to stay. The staff give you anything you might need and they are friendly. The guy that runs the place has a great sense of humour and their is an older lady who does a great job of your laundry. The huts a rustic yet comfortable. They are not dirty - but they could be a bit cleaner. However, this place is miles cleaner than many other places in Arugam Bay. There were no rats and the plumbing was good - which is more than can be said for other places. I will stay there again when I return to Arugam bay. ... more   less
