Yala hotels

Pros: Delicious food. Friendly staff. Good location for safari. Nice pool.

Pros: Nice pool. Beautiful house. Friendly manager.

Cons: Room does not have a wifi. There is a lot of staff, you can not relax in peace. Hotel is really beautiful, but in this town there is nothing, except Yala park.

Pros: Everything is good just except the shower water system. The temperature of water is not constantly. Probably it is a little over used needs restore new one.

Pros: We had an excellent stay at elephant reach There was absolutely nothing I could say to fault the place The staff were particularly attentive, and it started with the manager showing us to our room and giving us a wonderful talk about the amazing rare trees that are dotted around the beautifully maintained grounds. We were treated just how you would want to be treated in a hotel. (Like u exist and not just a room number ) continuously asked if we needed anything and nothing was too much trouble! Room service was excellent and the food was also pretty good, one of the 3 evenings we had the buffet dinner and it was fantastic value and plentiful. One evening we were lead to a candle lit table outside! Laundry service was fast and it was about 30 minutes away from the national park where we had an excellent day and saw leopards bears and elephants!

Cons: It was faultless

Cons: /

Pros: Nice place, quiet and friendly staff. The pool was clean and nice.

Cons: The breakfast for the safari, was to poor and to expensive.

Pros: It was our first experience of staying in such a place and it was successful. The comfortable bungalows with all amenities are located in a picturesque area next to National Yala park. It is a perfect place for those who want to be in tune with nature.

Pros: The place is really nice and I loved the quietness. The view to the lake is also amazing and I would have stayed longer watching in from the swimming pool. The food is really good and they use their own vegetables from their garden. The Sri Lanka curry is just amazing. The fresh fruit juices a must. The staff was so nice that they always prepared roti for me knowing that I love it so much.

Cons: Nothing, it was perfect

Pros: The pool overlooking the lake was beautiful. The organic gardens, seated areas and glamping tents were all perfect too. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, taking their time to show us all of the different fruits, birds and even wild buffalo which were on the lake.

Cons: Don’t expect to get any WiFi signal here.

Pros: Staff was helpful and polite, room was chic and clean.

Cons: The food was pricey and not very good.

Pros: The room was spacious and clean.

Cons: The location is very far from anything and it’s not easy to get around. We tried to book safari to yala through hotel but the price was 3 times higher than regular ones. We had to take a taxi to city to arrange our visit, which was a hassle because hotel is far. It seemed that hotel try to take advantage of its remoteness to sell higher safari packages.

Pros: The staff were all brilliant and always there if you needed anything. The pool is lush and we enjoyed bird spotting down by the lake. We also enjoyed our sunset kayak ride with the manager there. Unfortunately although we had a full day safari we only saw one elephant and a few crocs, wild boar and Sri Lankan monkeys. We did see lots of different birds though and Yala Park is very beautiful.

Cons: The lighting in the bedroom could be improved as too dark to read in there. Meals quite expensive and a bit too far out from anywhere

Pros: Loved the tents, super cosy clean and well set up. The pool is amazing and there is such an amazing ambiance in the bush, highly recommend for those looking to unwind

Cons: The food wasn’t the best I’ve had but passable

Pros: We liked everything, amazing

Cons: please more shade by the amazing pool, and please move AC unit or bed in tents to other side to decrease the noise.

Pros: Very peaceful and helpful staff!

Cons: Too many bugs in the air

Pros: This place was lovely. We stayed in one of the tented rooms, which was very comfortable. Good bed and aircon. overall it was a very pleasant place to stay away from the hustle and bustle. A simple resort with a lovely pool and great food, cooked freshly and most vegetables from their own garden. The staff were very helpful. The gardens were lovely with lots of birds and other creatures.

Cons: Tent was a bit worn and grass needed mowing but this also added a bit to the rustic charm of the place. They could also use some shade near the pool, although while we were there it was rather windy, so umbrellas would have blown away.

Pros: First of all, they should open a restaurant! We had the best food in Sri Lanka. The hotel is cosy and clean, the room was very spacious and the family took so much care of us. They also arranged our safari and it was amazing. They have been doing it for more than 20 years and they know so much about it.
