Hotel River Front, hotel in Tissamaharama

Located in Tissamaharama, 1.6 miles from Tissa Wewa, Hotel River Front provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

Hotel and staff are so very accommodating. We were upgraded to the tree house which was a fun experience, overlooking the river. Room and hotel is very clean. Bed very comfortable. Pool is lovely and towels available poolside. Dinner in the restaurant was lovely and less expensive than in town. The hotel helped book us a safari and provided a boxed breakfast. Breakfast in the hotel was also delicious and lots of effort was made to accommodate by food intolerance. Highly recommend!

    This is a great location to stay if you want to visit the national parks and My Village will organise safaris to the four parks in the area either a half or full day. The local town is not a tourist town but it's great to wander around looking in the local shops.

    Was in Tissamaharama for Yala Safari, had booked the early morning Safari. Disappointed with the Safari as there were very few animals except.for.peacocks and spotted dear. Later into the ride our jeep driver and guide revealed we had entered through block 5 of the Safari and most the animals(Leopard, Bears) mostly are sighted in block 1 and 2. Block 1 and 2 were closed that day, maybe just our luck. So I guess check, with the Safari organizer before booking your safari as it quite expensive. Basically disappointed ☹️

    Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks. I' went to Bundala as I've never been to park with big wetlands and I think it was a great choice. We've seen numerous types of birds, lizards, monkeys, jackals, mangooses, bufallos, crocodiles and also few elephants😊 I didn't stay in center of Tissa but still was able to find nice restaurants, like Smoky Kitchen (recommended).

    We loved the location of this hotel. It was beautiful. Our main purpose was to go for Safari, and this hotel is perfectly located from Yala National Park. They even packed us breakfast at 5am, so we can take it with us to Safari. We spent an afternoon at the pool, (and had it all to ourselves which was also a bonus). The food was great, and we had the buffet there. The staff were all amazing. Everyone that worked there, were quite young, but incredibly professional, polite and kind, and they all really went out of their way to help us.

    The moment we stepped into the property, we asked Sanjeewa if we could stay for extra day. He is the most hospitable, kind, and caring host. The property is pristinely clean with large rooms with very comfortable beds and good hot shower. Sanjeewa went above and beyond to delight us in indeed very special Sri Lankan meals. He also booked a driver/guide for Yala NP, Bodica (Bodi) Ravindra who was excellent driver, guide (yes, we saw a leopard) and his vehicle was very well maintained, clean with good tires. Very memorable experience!

    Mithila was a perfect host who couldn’t do enough for us. The room was impeccably clean and very big. The bathroom was also big and had a great shower. We had a large balcony area too which was good to sit out on. Mithila organised our safari and also ordered us dinner from a local restaurant, she also arranged our transport to our next hotel. Mithila made us feel so welcome and the room was beyond expectations. Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka! Thank you Mithila! Would recommend to everyone looking to stay in the area.

    Hotel Nilketha is a great option before or after safari in the Yala National Park. The pool and jacuzzi set in the palm trees is beautiful! Our room was very spacious, with firm but comfortable beds, good AC, as well as a good shower with products provided. Wifi was also good. The hotel owner was extremely welcoming and let us try Sri Lankan Arrack, which was fun! As we were there over Sinhalese New Year, we also enjoyed complementary tea and biscuits. We dined at the hotel too and the local cuisine was delicious.

    What an exceptional place! Huge rooms with an outdoor style bathroom - similar to some 5 star hotels’ rooms. Lovely view from the terrace and the swimming pool over the lake and the buffalos, beautiful sunset. What makes this place even more special is the owner Arun and his staff - they go the extra mile to make each and every guest satisfied. They prepared an amazing Sri Lankan brunch for us after our safari. Dinner was sooo delicious as well , so flavourful, best food we had during our stay. Thank you so much!

    This is my second time in Sri Lanka and at Laa Safari Inn. This time we had a worm welcome. Clean room, good food. During power failures, they have a generator. That is very important to us.This time we got our safari from the hotel, and he is an experienced guide. So many animals, including three big leopards. Amazing. We got a little closer too. mush love. They also have a good exchange rate. We wish to come back again next time.

    Fantastic stay, great facilities, but most of all the customer service by the staff is fabulous. Manager Indika and his team provided the best customer service humanly possible. He stretched our experience to further greatness by taking us for bush walks, plucking wild grown plants and making herbal teas, treating us with excellent recipes of local food. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Yala.

Our room was really nice, had a lovely balcony looking out over the pool, the garden is lush and the pool spotless. It was very quiet when we were there but it was still ok.
