Truly the most luxurious place I stayed during my whole trip to Sri Lanka - the staff was stellar, location was extraordinary and the meals were delicious. Would highly recommend staying here as well as experiencing a safari or two.

the staff- very sweet and caring at all times it’s an overall perfect balance with nature. the food is incredible !

The location is incredible, the rooms are fairly average if they weren’t on a reserve

Great selection of food for dinner and breakfast. The bed was extremely comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful.

we loved being so close to the animals. during our stay we saw boars, monkeys, rabbits, monitor lizards, buffalo and crocodiles without leaving the property! Food was so good! Samar from the staff was such a gem and so attentive and professional! Pool is beautiful too! We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights here 🥰

Fantastic location. Very great breakfast variety, animals visiting at the pool, awesome ambience.

Location is amazing, almost in the national Yala park (2km from the main entrance), jeeps parked outside to go to safari (you can book directly at the hotel), nice pool, view on the lake with crocodiles and wild birds, occasional elephant strolling through the premises, wild pigs walking through as well, that’s why after dark you mustn’t wonder alone between your cabana and the reception area. There’s a hotel representative to escort you to/from dinner with a torch. Breakfast and dinner buffet offers wide selection of local and western food. Good drinks. Comfortable bed, great hot shower, spacious room. We really enjoyed our 2 nights there.

the location was great, seeing the wildlife was a Greta experience. The hotel staff who took us to our rooms were very helpful.

The location practically within the national park is unrivalled - the watering hole means it is not unusual to see Water Buffalo, Crocodiles, Wild Boar, monkeys and even elephants strolling through the hotel grounds and it is just magic. You feel absolutely part of the action. The rooms are a great size with awesome AC, comfortable beds, spacious spotless bathrooms. The staff are so friendly and helpful, escorting you from your room, keeping you safe and comfortable throughout. The beach is amazing as well - no swimming, (strong riptides) but worth a little walk and explore. Finally, the food and drink is also excellent. Just a brilliant experience.

Absolutely beautiful place, the food and staff were amazing during our stay!
