What a hidden little gym just out of town. The staff were so wonderful and could not do enough for us. After the safari it was so nice to jump in the pool and enjoy the facilities.
The restaurant is decent as well. Highly recommend checking this place out

I can’t recommend staying at Tara Watergate enough. The rooms are big, bright, spacious with large windows looking out onto the lake. The room was very clean, beautifully air conditioned. The staff were incredibly attentive and warm. They kindly organised a safari for us which was the highlight of our trip. I left something behind and the hotel sent it by tuk tuk to me — I am so thankful. The food was the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka, the chefs are very talented. The pool is clean and very refreshing to cool off in.

The room is huge and clean, there is also a lounge space with a sofa and a small table. Bathroom is ok, maybe needs a bit of renewal. The pool was great during the hot days, the staff gave us also some pool towels, very nice and appreciated service. From there you can also arrange a safari tour at Yala. Recommend!

The location is excellent and the resort is real value for money . The food was excellent . The rooms were nice . The toiletries in the bathrooms needs to improve . The bathroom needs exhaust fans as it can get quite stuffy . The resort manager Mr Upal is a nice friendly bloke and is exceptional in his service . Overall a very pleasant experience .

This is a great location to stay if you want to visit the national parks and My Village will organise safaris to the four parks in the area either a half or full day. The local town is not a tourist town but it's great to wander around looking in the local shops.

We were there the first time for safari. We had a tour to the Buddha by the sea…amazing.
This time we were passing through on our way to Ella. We ate at Red Pizza which was just as good second time round.

Was in Tissamaharama for Yala Safari, had booked the early morning Safari.
Disappointed with the Safari as there were very few animals except.for.peacocks and spotted dear.
Later into the ride our jeep driver and guide revealed we had entered through block 5 of the Safari and most the animals(Leopard, Bears) mostly are sighted in block 1 and 2.
Block 1 and 2 were closed that day, maybe just our luck.
So I guess check, with the Safari organizer before booking your safari as it quite expensive.
Basically disappointed ☹️

Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks.
Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks. I' went to Bundala as I've never been to park with big wetlands and I think it was a great choice. We've seen numerous types of birds, lizards, monkeys, jackals, mangooses, bufallos, crocodiles and also few elephants😊
I didn't stay in center of Tissa but still was able to find nice restaurants, like Smoky Kitchen (recommended).
Mithila was a perfect host who couldn’t do enough for us. The room was impeccably clean and very big. The bathroom was also big and had a great shower. We had a large balcony area too which was good to sit out on. Mithila organised our safari and also ordered us dinner from a local restaurant, she also arranged our transport to our next hotel. Mithila made us feel so welcome and the room was beyond expectations. Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka! Thank you Mithila! Would recommend to everyone looking to stay in the area.

The weather in Sri Lanka has been quite warm lately, but staying at this hotel made all the difference. Surrounded by lush greenery and plants, we hardly felt the heat; in fact, it felt pleasantly cool. The gentle breeze from the nearby lake provided an added sense of comfort, making it delightful to relax by the water's edge and enjoy a meal with a picturesque view. Plus, they even arranged a safari for us right from the hotel! If you're looking for a refreshing escape, this hotel is definitely worth considering.
This hotel is an amazing place to stay while your safari route in Yala NP. The house keeper helped us to arrange a Jeep and a driver. also helped us on our route to Ella. My Village have a really nice swimming pool and an execelent chef who made us an incredible breakfast and also an incredible dinner! If your are plnaning a safari route, don't dubt to book here!
Sri Lanka is a maravellous place, and eventhough the politic crisis, people will give you the best! Don't stop going.
Clean comfortable rooms with an incredible view of the lake. The family who run the hotel were the most kind, generous and caring hosts we have met in Sri Lanka! They treated us and our baby like family and we wish we could have stayed longer! It was great to have so much wildlife on the doorstep of the hotel-we saw more animals on the lake tour from the hotel than in Yala, at a fraction of the cost! A wonderful place to stay.
