You truly feel like you are in the wild, within the hotel grounds we saw crocodiles, wild boar, monkey and and elephant. This hotel is right on the edge of the national park. Has a nice restaurant with a good buffet breakfast and and nice bar.

The friendly and helpful staff was by far the stand out but everything was unique about this place. Very well kept grounds and clean, well appointed rooms with comfortable beds. It’s so cool to see wild animals roaming around!

The wild life around the hotel was the start of a wonderful stay. You really felt the safari atmosphere. The breakfast was exceptional and other meals were also good.

The wild life that came to visit the resort helped make this place made it quite exceptional. This includes wild boars, elephants and monkeys. The odd snake, crocodiles in the lake along with water buffalos and bird life. The staff and food was good.

The hotel is located 30 minutes drive from the nearest city and there is no atm onsite and don't offer cashback. We had no cash on hand and could'nt pay our safari guide so we had to go all the way back to Tissa and that was not fun at all and was a big disappointment. Appart of that it was perfect.
Great location, we could watch many wild animals crawling all over the estate (crocs, monkeys, water buffalos, birds, wild boars, python snakes and many more. Being so close to nature was very fun.

Had a little issue with a gecko in the room but it has been fixed in a second.
Isn’t easy describe the positive vibes and the feeling that this location can give you. The staff is great, lovely and helpful. We’re so shamed we’ve only spent a night. We’ve had a dinner by the lake and Rasham treaded us as royals.

Water of the swimming pool was not very clean.
Excellent location, just 10 min away from the entrance of Yala National Park but actually the hotel is inside the protected area and we could see water buffalos and other wild animals. Rooms are spacious and clean. Buffet for dinner and breakfast is excellent. This was the best hotel we experienced in Sri Lanka. Excellent value for money.

Restaurant prices are ridiculously expensive for what it is. There are no shops for a long radius as you’re in the jungle, so its only expected they will charge such a high price as they can
If you want a luxury room in the middle of the jungle, then this is the place! Literally see wild animals of all sorts just walking around casually outside your cabin. Staff were friendly and rooms were spacious and clean
