    It is a bit far from the center but you can arrange transport trough the hotel or if you have your own it is very handy.

    We had a wonderfull time at the hotel! The staff was very nice and helpfull. They were cleaning a lot so it is clean an tidy. The room was big and comfortable. Plenty of room to park the tuk tuk in front of the hotel. Breakfast was very nice! We also had dinner there two times because we liked it. They arranged the safari to Yala for us. We got the best guide ever! Even tough we had little lick with seeing animals that day he still tried his best. And the end of the day we did see 3 leopards! His wife cooked us a very nice meal for lunch that we eat at the beach of Yala.

    Very nice accommodation, clean, with a nice pool. Typical hotel service with restaurant. We only spent one night here so I can't rate everything. The accommodation arranged a Safari in Yala for us, they arranged a nice Jeep for just the two of us ( I said we could take a shared one, but they can't arrange that - or probably don't want to). Anyway, it was nice not to worry about anything, they even packed us a breakfast to take with us on the Safari as it starts at 4:30am so you are the first in the park and have the best chance of seeing the Leopard. Interesting design of the building

    I personally would have preferred a shower curtain + the fitting that holds the shower head was loose. Everything else was perfect.

    Very nice, spacious room, very clean. Nice pool and good food. Safari arranged by hotel was very good, good guide.

    A bit quiet. Need some music to cheer up the place. Once the building work is finished upstairs, the place will be amazing. Already is where it’s completed

    Beautiful hotel with a good pool and restaurant. Food very good and service is friendly. We came back from our safari midday but were allowed to use the room for shower long after we should have checked out. Thank you

    What a hidden gem in Tissa! The cleanest most comfortable accommodation we have had in Sri Lanka, the food in the restaurant was high quality and delicious, especially the Sri Lankan food! The pool and gardens are beautiful. The hotel organised a great safari for us and packed us breakfast to go. If you are staying in Tissa - you must stay here, highly recommend, 10 stars!

    Staff are outstanding, always ready to help with anything that we needed. They organised a driver to bring us to a local festival and organised a massage for us down the road as well. Bedrooms were lovely, the pool was well kept and refreshing and the food was outstanding. Even though the hotel is in a residential area, it is close to shops and restaurants.

    There wasnt much in the area to do, but we stayed for the safari. So its fine

    Very nice Hotel. Cozy lighting surrounding the whole place. Beautiful garden. Crazy river at the back of the property where you might spot some wildlife! The whole property is clean and feels very safe. The staff is super helpful and really friendly. The food they serve is delicious. We recommend swimming in the pool and getting french fries after.

    Perfect location for visiting Yala National Park - the hotel organised the safari which was amazing - the hotel itself was amazing and very relaxing with swimming pool, gym, fantastic restaurant. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and a trip tip would be to look for the Trees of a Thousand Flying Foxes just a short walk or tuk-tuk drive away and visit as the sun sets - wow!

    The greatest thing about this place are people, the staff is open, helpful, smiley, they went above and beyond to make us happy! We were allowed to check out late after our half-day safari and shower is exactly what you need after that experience 😊 I really liked a pool and their restaurant, food was so tasty! Also, they prepared breakfast to go for our early morning safari, a really nice touch to already enjoyable experience

    It was all good!

    It was a really nice stay. The Area of the Hotel Looks gorgeous and is very clean. Staff is super friendly and helps you with everything you ask for. Breakfast was also really tasty! We booked a Safari at the Hotel and had a great Full Day Safari with Channa who was our Guide for the Day. He was so motivated to find a lot of Animals to Show us and did a great Job. We saw pretty much every Animal and he gave us homecooked Lunch. Perfect!
