Everything was perfect! Udara is a wonderful host and will go out of his way to ensure his guests have the most memorable experience. He brought us to a temple for sunset along the coast. The sweetest little monkey called Pinky was there and loved to be around humans. His mother and aunt cooked us a delicious variety of curries for a private dinner in the villa. We went on safari with Udara’s company Yala Safari Wonders which I also highly recommend. The villa was pristine in terms of cleanliness. Highly would recommend!!!

    It definitely is an experience worth trying.

    It definitely is an experience worth trying. The tree house has all the comforts you need but yet kept on the simple side. Don't expect much and you will get a lot. Nice food Bbq and big fire lit for you in the evening to give you a chance to relax and talk about your day activities. It was great to be left alone and the silence of the night. There were times you just felt that we were the only ones there and when you needed something the staff would magically appear

    too many jeeps roaming around. 50% of the time we were searching for animals. at some occasions long long jams of jeeps trying to observe leopards and bears the park is beutiful but * jeeps number should be limited * we didnt see a leopard, saw elephants only once, saw a bear briefly only once - for 6 hours in the park we were disappointed

    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.

    We arrived on a weekend and the hotel was buzzing hence even thou we requested earlier for connecting rooms and arrived after 2pm our rooms were not ready and we had to wait for 45mins in the lobby for two connecting rooms. Overall we enjoyed our stay after we finally got our rooms. The hotel was very close to Yala National Park so that was convenient to say the least. Breakfast was up to Jetwing standard. Pool was great as was the surprise birthday cake for our 6 year old.

    Amazing resort, brand new, facilities are sensational. Best hotel room i've ever stayed in, we upgraded to a premium pool room. Pillow menu a nice touch. Great location for a safari into Yala national park, our ranger Pasindu was fantastic. Dinner in the restaurant was great, good mix of local and international menu items and catered well to dietary requirements.

    Good location for safaris in Yala. Staff helpful. Not for the faint hearted - elephant and leopard wander trough grounds at night. Need to call porter with torch to escort you too and from room after dark. Crocodiles in lake adjacent to hotel. Very close to Yala for safaris. Would suggest 2 night stay and a full day safari
