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!

The place and location was stunning. Loved the fact is was surrounded with local houses with buffalo’s roaming in the back. Loved the little peer overlooking the lake!

The location is excellent and the resort is real value for money . The food was excellent . The rooms were nice . The toiletries in the bathrooms needs to improve . The bathroom needs exhaust fans as it can get quite stuffy . The resort manager Mr Upal is a nice friendly bloke and is exceptional in his service . Overall a very pleasant experience .

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.
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.
Beautiful hotel with very friendly attentive staff.
The pool is amazing & restaurant very nice.
Provided us with an early morning breakfast box for our 5:30am safari departure too.
The family that run the hotel invited us to their home to celebrate the Sri Lankan new year with them & even shared their meal too!
One of the definite highlights of our trip!!
Our host went above and beyond to make our stay as memorable as possible. She organised our transfers, the safari and even a cooking class free of charge. We had told her in an email we were celebrating our engagement and she prepared a speacial cake and everything. This was the best place we stayed in sri lanka lanka including the 5 star resorts.
We loved everything about the Blue Turtle, apart from doing the Yala safari we didn’t leave the hotel. 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. We had some lovely food and the best Sri Lankan breakfast.
My best place in sri lanka.because place was superb.quite place.breakfast fantastic.everybody booked the hotel you can try the safari and breakfast.we booked the safari with hotel.they organized the safari owner very well.he is a leopard.you can booked the safari.i highly recommend and lot of chance see the leopards
Warmly and friendly host,simple and clean room,welcome drinks,delicious food,the beautiful garden,and Debarawewa lake in front of the hotel gate.You can go around the lake in the morning and dusk, bird watching and enjoy the scenery of lake.We had a great time here.
Hotel was very comfortable and clean. Has a great pool area and pool. Good location for Yala and hotel organises it, best day in Sri Lanka so far! Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Manager is lovely and dropped us in town when we needed to get a bus.
We stayed at the hotel for two nights. The pool was beautiful and the rooms were clean and tidy. We also booked a safari with the hotel and they arranged a packed breakfast for us to bring with us on the safari
11 out of 10 !
Room was amazing, hosts were lovely, views out of this world. The food was our best in Sri Lanka. The hotel can arrange your Yala tour which we did not realise. We wish we had stayed longer
Great hotel and beautiful location. Also the staff were amazing, especially Sumi, he helped me with many things and went above and beyond to make sure I had a good stay. I highly recommend this place.
We received excellent service during our stay. Everyone was friendly and kind. We’d like to come back here for the next trip to Sri Lanka in the future!
