He is doing well. He said it is raining a bit today (November 12, 2011) and as it is "off season" he has five cabanas available. Ranga's charming wife continues to teach at the local school and his lovely daughter attends school in Batticoloa, 80 kilometers up the coast. You can reach Ranga on his mobile phone: 94 (for Sri Lanka) 773 179 594 Ranga's fixed like which is somewhat ‘temperamental’ is: 94 (for Sri Lanka) 63 (for Pottuvil) 224 8202. To get around A'Bay I rely on "Podi Malli" and his Tuk Tuk. Tell Ranga and Podi Malli that the "Crazy Canuck" sent you. Have a great time at the Beach Hut. Viresh Fernando Toronto, Canada P.S. I hate to be treacherous to Canadian fisherman but the truth is that Ranga's Lobster is even better than the fabulous Lobster available from Canada's east coast!!!

We had bed bugs and had bites all over our bodies. We had to leave after just one night since there were no other rooms and now we're afraid we brought the bed bugs home via our packs, as we have been getting bitten quite a bit since returning. Stay here if you get a good room, otherwise, stay elsewhere and just eat meals here, as they have great food.

It is the nicest hotel in the world for me and I dream of going back. I first visited Ranga's beach hut in 2002 in the ceasefire period and fell in love with the total atmosphere, the human warmth, his genuine way of dealing with humanity, the delicious food and the charming decor he has created. I went back in 2007 and I was stuck there for 10 days because of floods on the road back to Colombo and it did not feel like being stuck and Ranga happily playing host to all the tourists stuck there. We even helped a few ngo's making lunch packets for the flood victims in the area. You have to visit Ranga to see what Sri Lanka is all about. By the way I am a Sri Lankan and so proud to have a fellow Sri Lankan like Ranga. I totally agree with all your comments. It is the nicest hotel in the world for me and I dream of going back.

Left Nilaveli at 0500hrs drove thru Habarana_Polonnaruwa to Passikuh in Valachchanai, as the beach there was filthy we headed to Arugambay about 80Kms south from Batticaloa. and Reached Arugambay at 1400hrs. Straight went into Roccos as the place seemed decent but we had to leave the place as for the service levels of Roccos and the foreign owner who has no business sense at all. (Well its his property and my money so who is loosing???)... The other places we checked out sucked big time and it was run by locals mainly muslims again with no business sense at all.. and they also dont provide liquour and most of the places dont approve bringing in your own liquour. We had enough by then and tot of heading back to Nilaveli. Wen about to leave we saw Beach hut and it then clicked that this place was in the papers and many magazines. As we entered into their lane, saw 4 vans and 2 Suvs parked at the hut. Walked in and met Ranga who was very positive and a person who never say No to anything wat the customer wud want. The place is awesome and food is great. Very friendly and efficient. Prices are like 30% lower than the prices at Nilaveli and a place to visit. Total drive was like 1300 Kms (CMB_Dambulla_Trinco_Habarana_Polonnaruwa_Valachchanai_Passakuda_Batticola_Pottuvil_Arugambay_Siyambalanbduwa_Monaragala_Bibile_Mahiyangana_Kandy_CMB) and it was worth it thanks to Beach Hut. “Beach HUT” Highly recommended to all tourists and locals.

I don't think so and will be successful coz you spend more time bothering about other people but most importantly being Jealous. You have to spend more time in the Kitchen if you want to run a Restaurant like Ranga's but not spending more time to write these bullshit comments. The other thing is that you have missed so many comments from the people who have really enjoyed staying there but they will just ever never want to comment on you foolish people's comments because they know which is the best place. One advice that I can give you is "Spend more time to improve yourself then there's no time for you to criticize others" Haha nice one Huh? My shower of wishes to Beach Hut Family Shiva Dear all,
