Uga Chena Huts - Yala - All Inclusive, hotel in Yala

Located in the deep south of Sri Lanka, Chena Huts is just 5-minute away from Yala National Park.

This hotel is amazing, don't think about it, just go! - The staff are the kindest and most attentive we've met. They anticipate, adapt, are proactive and are exceptionally kind. Whether it's the waiters (special thanks to the king of kings Chinthaka but also to Nuwan & Chamara), the Rangers and their detailed explanations, the cleaning staff or the reception staff, they make the experience truly unique. - The food is delicious and varied. You'll find great Western and local dishes on the menu at every meal. Special thanks to the chef for his special creations. - the individual huts are magnificent, clean and very pleasant. - the safaris are very interesting and you can see dozens of animals (elephants, crocodiles, leopards etc) in sumptuous landscapes. - finally, thank you again to the staff for all the little personal touches and activities they offered us. In short, everything was perfect, you don't have to think about anything and just enjoy this timeless place.

Wonderful place to stay. The private plunge pool was great and the room was HUGE. So lovely and spacious. Good location close to Yala NP. Food is served in the room or on the terrace as there is no restaurant area but we liked that. Very helpful staff with sorting safari or other trips.

Laya Safari Resorts & Spa, hotel in Yala

My exhilarating trip to Sri Lanka was an incredible experience that will always remain in my memories. The pristine landscapes and beautiful nature of this country captured my heart. However, what made this trip even more special was our stay at Laya hotel. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and also the place was very comfortable and quiet at night. We happened to be there during Sinhala and Tamil new year holiday, and we decided to stay an extra night to celebrate with them. We participated in their games and festivities, and it was a great new experience. We were even honored as special guests on the second night to stay in their brand new caravan. Special thanks to the hotel general manager (Mr.Wasantha) and his deputy (Mr.Dulaj) for their hospitality.

    Staff were very nice especially the camp manager. Staff do go above and beyond to try to ensure a great experience. Location is remote and it was nice to give a different experience to our kids instead of resorts and hotels.
