Good for 1 night stay

The property was decent. Clean and quiet. Staff was good. We had to leave early for safari hence they packed breakfast for us. It was basic - a sandwich and packed juice, but okay. When we came back from safari, it was already the checkout time, but they agreed to extend by an hour, which gave us time to refresh and pack.

Ideal for Yalla

A great launching point for our Yalla National Park safari, with a fantastic and huge pool. Our Sri Lancan meal (chicken curry and seafood fried rice) was excellent.

Lovely pool and garden.

It is a friendly family run hotel. We found staff very cheerful and helpful. Our room was a decent size and clean and overlooked the pool and garden. The pool is very large and well maintained and the garden is lovely. While we were there we had some very nice meals. Tip: ask them to buy in some fresh fish or seafood for your evening meal - good quality and reasonably priced. The place is located reasonably near Yala National Park - it’s about a 30 drive to the entrance. Another tip: go and see the bats at 6.15pm - they will know what you are talking about.

Great kids’ pool, lovely room with a balcony. Great value for money. Hotel restaurant was fine and basic and did not overprice the food. Good wiifi, good AC and bed. Pictures on booking.com are as reality. We had dinner two nights at The Flavours, a 10 min walk from the hotel; great food and a bit more lively vibe. The walk can be dark, particularly the last 200 m, so bring a phone and use the flash light function. We felt safe (2 adults and one child) walking back and forth even in the dark. Power may go out a few times a day for 5-10 min.
