Great comfortable stay for 2 nights. Staff attentive and friendly. Location for Yala Safari ideal.

Returned for 2nd year running so that says something itself. Staff remembered us straight away, and it was because of the staff that we returned. Rooms comfortable, breakfast and evening meal lovely...the special burger was delicious. Staff even helped us celebrate our friends 50th birthday, providing a cake which we shared with them.Pool clean and inviting

Peaceful hotel in Tissamahamara

Lovely hotel in Tissamahamara, perfect for relaxing before or after a Yala National Safari trip! The staff were kind enough to pack us lovely breakfast for 5.00am (!!) to take with us on safari. They have a lovely pool area with lots of sun beds, and each room has a veranda/porch to relax on or watch the sunset. The restaurant is very good, we had a waitress who took excellent care of us, and our driver (taking us to Ella the next day) came to introduce himself during dinner. I would recommend the Sri Lankan specials on the menu!

We had a great stay ! We stayed only one night and were very happy to enjoy the pool, dinner and drinks under a lit up garden and an amazing safari planned by the hotel. The hotel staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, everyone was so kind ! The design of the hotel with the huts and palm trees is beautiful.

Fantastic location, exceptional staff, 100% recommend.

Fantastic location, excellent staff - very friendly, sociable and couldn’t do enough to help. Very good at putting anti mosquito scent around the site / restaurant at sunset. Refreshing swimming pool, great, spacious lodges (we were given a free upgrade as middle east conflict meant they were quieter than usual), tasty food (6 curry and rice was best I’ve had in 5 weeks in Sri Lanka) - would highly recommend. We had a great sunrise Jeep safari experience. We’re very lucky to see a Leopard crossing the road in front of us within an hour of being in the park! The hotel gave us a packed breakfast to take at 5am! Great service 😊

Great place and even better safari - would stay again

Staff couldn’t do more for us, they were so helpful with sorting a safari for us and for making sure we got a transfer the next day. Room was very comfy and pool was excellent! The safari planned by the hotel was brilliant, our guide Sheev was brilliant, took us to all the quiet spots and we saw so many animals including elephants and a leopard!
