Shine Park, hotel in Tissamaharama

Surrounded by greenery, Shine Park is a pet friendly property located in Tissamaharama. It offers complimentary WiFi access and private parking.

The air conditioning worked well to help combat the humidity and heat. There were plenty of light options, side lights and the overhead light which is nice. The bed was decently comfortable not too hard. I appreciated the drying rack in the room to dry clothes.

    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 .

    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).

    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.

Additionally, the hotel went above and beyond by arranging a safari for us, adding an extra layer of adventure to our trip. A big thank you to everyone involved for making our stay truly memorable.

    Great hotel with good and very helpful team. There was an issue with the pool during our stay related to the current situation in Sri Lanka. We were informed beforehand sufficiently so there were no surprises and we could still enjoy a swim. Even though we booked our Yala National Park safari separately from the hotel, everything went without a hitch. A breakfast was prepared and ready for us and the night guard was very helpful. A definite recommendation from us.

    Sanjeewa and his wife are absolutely wonderful and incredibly loving hosts. The rooms are clean, spacious, and have a really comfy bed. The view of the rice fields is great. The Sri Lankan food they serve is truly delicious. If you plan to do the safari in Yala, book through him. He has an excellent driver with a great price. I would highly recommend this place to stay in Tissamaharama, especially if you want to visit Yala National Park. Thanks for the great stay!

    Lovely family run hotel serving tasty homemade food. Rooms are clean and comfortable. You can book a safari directly through the hotel. Our Safari driver Saje was brilliant he made a huge effort all day to find leopards and right at the end of the day we had a fantastic sighting of two! His off roading skills are also second to none. It's worth noting if you would like the Sri Lankan breakfast then you need to order the night before
