Fantastic little campsite in the middle of the Sri Lankan bush, only accessible by 4WD. Head in here and feel the serenity. With just the two tents it's a small, perfectly-formed operation run by the wonderful host Nero, who not only looks after your every need but whips up amazing meals in his little camp kitchen, served on a table under the stars, with a bonfire to complete the magic. In the morning Nero took us on a safari in the nearby Yala National Park, which was magical at sunrise. Highly recommended.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this resort and it makes me want to stay in their other locations. Amazing value for the $ - spacious luxurious modern rooms, unbelievable buffets with the biggest selection of food I've seen on par with the Mandarin Hotel in Bangkok, super helpful and responsive staff, perfect large pool area with plenty of shade where not crammed into side by side lounges, bonus to have a beach/lagoon where can see crocodiles and wonderful vibe. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Loved the food and that they cook dinner in front of you, it was so authentic, and beautiful grounds. They organised our safari for us which was really helpful, and arrange all the food for the day. The open hut made for an incredible experience but was too scary for my youngest child (6), but the staff accommodated on our second night by setting up a different room for him.

Beautiful one night stay where we very much enjoyed the complimentary afternoon walk where we saw monkeys, monitor lizards, peacocks, crocodiles snd some incredible birds with our guides being so knowledgable and informative. The evenings meal under the nights sky could not have been more beautiful and our tents were super comfy. It was a very special experience and as a family we loved it and will be back. A big thank you goes out to the team for taking such good care of us.

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.

The hike in the nature reserve was amazing, we saw lots of amazing animals and landscapes.
Were lucky and we were able to meet the tiger as well.
It is important to note that the trip should take drinks and food, the hotel staff where we were did not tell us the length of the trip and did not make sure to let us know that we should take care of ourselves.
Of course we were smarter and brought with us the necessary equipment ..
But there were those next to us who did not and that was unfortunate

We stayed at Laya Beach resort which was very beautiful and was very close to our safari's which made our stay even better.
The beach, however, was too rough to swim which was a little disappointing.

We loved everything about this hotel! As this is a small hotel (only 3 rooms), we were the only guests (we booked 2 rooms here). Everything looks like new, there’s a nice pool zone, you can reach beach on foot (takes less than 10 minutes). The staff was amazing and we couldn’t imagine a better service. They prepared a lunch box for our 5AM Yala safari tour. We also had lunch and dinner here - the food was amazing and the portions were huge. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who considers having a safari at Yala national park!
This is a nice and wild place very close to the Yala National Park. The bungalows are simple but nicely blended in the natural environment. People from the staff was always present and happy to take care of us. They also entertained us during the dinner with some nice music. We had a morning walk around the lodge with their expert naturalist who was happy to share his knowledge about animals and plants with us. Really appreciated! The sunset from the big rock inside the camp is fantastic.
it was a beautiful property with only a few rooms all at a high quality spec, rooms were massive with amazing views, immaculately clean and the staff couldn’t do enough for us, so friendly and helpful. Food was lovely (especially the breakfast) and only 15 mins drive to Yala park and easy to book safaris through the hotel. Would highly recommend and would return if we ever went back to Yala.
The pool is 75 metres and nice and warm! We all loved the pool, good gym and nice coffee area/bar (the older gentleman that worked in there took pride in making us 3 lovely cappucinos). Quirky and fun having cows roaming around the pool. Beds and pillows comfy. Would have been a stunning hotel in its day.
