This place felt like a little paradise. From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming. They were always ready to help us with anything we needed, and their positive energy truly made a difference — it felt like they were shining from within. The food was absolutely wonderful, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. They also helped us organize a safari, which turned out to be an unforgettable and amazing experience. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special and memorable experience.

“Amazing stay”
We loved everything about our stay and would definitely recommend Yala River Face Inn. All the staff are so friendly and cannot do enough for you. They all work so hard. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful with lots of nature and wildlife around you. It is very well looked after. The pool is fantastic, overlooking the river. We spent our afternoons by it, following morning safaris. There are cold soft drinks, beer, water and ice available and a menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner options. All the meals we had were very nice. The room was lovely, clean and comfortable room with good air-conditioning and a ceiling fan. The shower was powerful with hot/cold setting. The bed and pillows were comfy. It's nice and quiet at night for a good night's sleep. Also parking space was available. There was a supermarket 5-10 minute walk away, if required. It was my partners birthday whilst here, which came up in conversation. They went above and beyond in helping make his birthday a memorable one. Thanks to all staff, we really enjoyed our stay.

“Great view of the river, close to everything we needed.”
Loved it all so we went back for another 2 nights when our flights were cancelled. For the 2nd time we booked the tree house room which was great. Staff were very very friendly, sometimes a bit much for me! But they were only being kind so not a problem.

“Quiet stay by the river”
The property is set off the main road, next to the river, in quiet and serene spot. The property has small pool with banana chairs with umbrellas and hammocks to relax after day of exploring. Room was spacious and clean with 2 big comfy beds. Bathroom clean too. The staff is very attentive, happy to help organize tours or transport. They run little restaurant on site where they cook meals from scratch. We had delicious soups for lunch and curry for dinner. They were happy to accommodate for our dietary limitations.

Absolutely loved it here. Nothing was too much trouble, a beautiful, peaceful place, staff were amazing. My wife was ill, they took us to a doctor, and then the chemist to get the prescription. Maybe the room was a little basic, but we didnt care about that at all. Amazing people,amazing place

“Incredible hotel situated near Yala National Park”
Great location situated near the national park. Staff were incredibly friendly and even drove us and picked us up from a restaurant in the evening. We booked a safari through the staff and had so much fun and importantly saw a leopard! Great stay, will definitely be back at some point.
