Wild culture Yala is a property worth the visit. The team led by property manager -Vassa is so warm and welcoming. The rooms are well done, the decor and the overall aesthetics of the rooms are quite well done. The food is made to order and the chef is also really good. Delicate flavors in food, highlighting the local produce and flavors. Vassa n team really went leaps and bounds to accommodate our wishes as it was our anniversary. I would recommend this property to all

This was one of the nicest places we stayed at in Sri Lanka! The hotel was absolutely beautiful but what made this place special was the people. We were welcomed and treated like family. We checked in a little late just due to exploring Sri Lanka and the GM even told us not to worry about check out time the next day- take our time, enjoy the pool and relax. The hotel only has 3 rooms so the staff is very attentive and take such great care of you. The meals provided by the chef were also delicious and very well prepared. Wonderful place - would highly recommend!

Everything was wonderful. From.checking in to checking out. We saw elephant on the property, and other wild animals..monkeys, squirrels, cows, and buffalos. Food was okay. Not much to choose from as a westerner... I asked for egg Benedict, and the chef went to made it. Really appreciate it. The ocean view room is very spacious and the view is absolutely amazing.. The bathroom is very huge and allow for a sea view as well. Love the sustainability part of the proterty. All eco friendly , great place for those who care about the planet My family and I will be back.

All meals were just amazing. The service was so good, they always greeted us with a smile. There was a communication barrier everywhere we went in Sri Lanka but not here. They understood what we wanted and how we wanted it.

Udar awas an excellent host who took an interest in us and did everything he could to make our stay memorable. He took us to a local beach and showed us around. He also accompanied us as a guide on our Yala safari day after making all the arrangement for it. Breakfast and dinner were very good and more than enough. On the early start safari day, breakfast was packed for us to eat later. Very good wifi and the house is spacious and comfortable.

    It definitely is an experience worth trying.

    It definitely is an experience worth trying. The tree house has all the comforts you need but yet kept on the simple side. Don't expect much and you will get a lot. Nice food Bbq and big fire lit for you in the evening to give you a chance to relax and talk about your day activities. It was great to be left alone and the silence of the night. There were times you just felt that we were the only ones there and when you needed something the staff would magically appear

    too many jeeps roaming around. 50% of the time we were searching for animals. at some occasions long long jams of jeeps trying to observe leopards and bears the park is beutiful but * jeeps number should be limited * we didnt see a leopard, saw elephants only once, saw a bear briefly only once - for 6 hours in the park we were disappointed

    We visited Yala for two days (with two separate game drives - one evening and one morning one) and although we enjoyed the animals we observed, we did not have any sightings of leopards despite being the national park with the highest concentration in the world. But that is nature so we were just unlucky on those days. However, the most disappointing aspect of Yala was the sheer number of vehicles allowed into the park at one time. As soon as elephants or leopards are sighted, drivers communicate among themselves and vehicles all rush to the scene creating a massive traffic jams. This makes it feel very mass market and doesn’t seem very respectful of the wildlife

    Terrible time. No wild animals as expected.

    Terrible time. No wild animals as expected. Roads are all around the jungle which is pretty disturbing to the wild life. After all it is supposed to be a protected zone for wild life. Jeeps are crawling every corner of the territory. Amused to see all of that disturbing scenes in a wild life protected zone. It's like business zone. Poor animals.

    I loved Yala.

    I loved Yala. The number of different animals seen was slightly disappointing but apparently wash outs due to rain prevented us from accessing some internal roads. The sunrise and scenery were stunning. I would rate it as good value despite the lack of animals. The whole experience was wonderful.

    The national park in Yala is beautiful however it is hard to drive around as the roads are poorly maintained. There is a large populatin of birds and i think this safari would suit bird watchers more than those who want to see the elephants. The 6am -6pm safari is too long. Sigiriya is far superior when it comes to large herds of elephants.

    We loved our stay at Allure. From the moment we arrived, Ishan and the team really looked after us. The rooms and hotel in general are absolutely gorgeous. Huge comfy beds, lovely big bathrooms and private little pool areas. The location is great for visiting Yala National Park. It is really peaceful right by beautiful lake - we saw an amazing sunset from the rooftop one evening. It's one of the most memorable places we've ever stayed.

    This hotel is beautifully located in the Yala park. You get to see a lot of wildlife without even leaving the hotel. We saw crocodiles, water buffalo, lots of beautiful birds, wild boar roaming the hotel and of course monkeys. The food was one of the best. In the evening you have to be escorted back to your room for safety reasons, there was always staff there to help and this was not a problem.

    Absolutely incredible hotel, staff were so friendly and food was excellent. Really cute place with little huts and a swimming pool. We LOVED the safari we booked through the hotel, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we had priority queue jump into Yala in the morning. Lassi the dog is gorgeous. I would highly recommend.

    We loved the pool/bar area. The food was great. Service was attentive. The hotel organised a day safari to Yala, which was brilliant. Overall, it is a little more pricey than other parts of sri lanka - but to be expected as a remote location and little else in the way of local amenities.

    Hotel is close to Yala National Park and is ideal for travelers looking for affordable accommodation close to the national park. The facilities are not as great as the big chain hotels, but all the basic amenities are available.
