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.

Beautiful hotel from the rooms to the common areas. Very friendly service, nice restaurant and incredible sunset from the pool. They also had a bonfire in the evening which was fun to watch. The BBQ was nice but 1 portion is enough for 2 people. Overall, very good value for money. Happy to have stayed for 1 night.

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.
This is a great hotel and we had a very enjoyable 3 night stay. The location is excellent, less than 5 minutes from the entrance to Yala. The hotel is in a lovely spot - there is direct access to the beach and the pool overlooks a lake with buffalo, crocodiles, birds etc. The rooms are well equipped, a good size and very comfortable. Dinner is a choice of a la carte or buffet - the buffet food was excellent, very high quality and plenty of choice. The staff were great, very friendly and always smiling and helped us with a late check out.
Everything about this hotel was excellent. The location amid the Yala National Park is ideal for any wildlife enthusiast. The Staff is very attentive and friendly and their service was beyond expectations. The food was superb (Kudos to the chef) and had a very good Variety. The hotel Naturalists has very good knowledge about the wildlife in Yala and would definitely recommend going on a Safari with them. Overall the experience at Cinnamon wild was away beyond our expectations and would definitely go again whenever we can.

We had a fantastic time at Mahoora Tented Safari Camp Yala. The atmosphere at camp was great and our tent deserved the title “glamping” in every sense of the word as they were more luxurious than most hotels all while being in the middle of nature. The safari experience with senior naturalist Asela was incredible as well. Asela guided us to the best spots at Yala National Park and explained everything in great detail with his outstanding wealth of knowledge. We would come back anytime!
The Hilton Yala was a very unique state of the art property in the middle of a National Park!
The hotel grounds, pool, architecture, and overall layout were stunning and something we haven’t experienced before.
However what made this one of the most memorable experience for us is the amazing and ever smiling staff right from the reception, kitchen, and room service staff.
Their executive chef was always there smiling and greeting the guests which made this super special!
Amazing service, giving the best effort to make an unique experience.
Despite camping, the rooms seems like a good hotel with large comfortable room.
We stayed one night only, 2 could have been better for the safari and enjoy more the hotel.
It was during our honeymoon and they made sure everything was pretty special.
Special attention from food and beverage manager who seemed to be running the whole place, making sure everything worked out
We spent two nights at Wild Culture and it was a great experience.
The rooms were very large with a cool safari style and we felt like we were in the wilderness.
We had breakfast and dinner twice which was great. The service team, especially Ukul, gave us a perfect stay with many surprises.
The safari to Yala organized by the hotel was perfectly planned with snacks and cold drinks.
Thanks again :)
We stayed at Yakaduru Lodge and had an amazing time. The lodge is close to Yala National Park, which was great for our morning safari. We saw lots of wild animals like leopards, elephants, and monkeys.
Room was made with natural materials to keep it nice and cool inside. We loved the traditional Sri Lankan food they served, book the BBQ under the stars. This is basic luxury in heaven
The hotel was stunning, the room was large with a/c and beautiful view towards the pool and beyond.
All the staff were immaculate, so friendly and courteous to us. They cook our meals to order, so fresh and delicious. They even prepared a packed breakfast for our early morning safari and waited with us till our jeep arrived. Absolutely recommended this beauty. Thank you.
Situated near Yala National Park and Palatupana Beach, it's a haven for adventure seekers and relaxation enthusiasts alike. From exciting safaris to tranquil evenings by the BBQ, every experience was unforgettable. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the accommodations were both comfortable and charming. We wholeheartedly recommend Yakaduru for a truly unique getaway!
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. Reaching the hotel was a real adventure because there had been a flood at Yala National Park two days before and the transfer from Tissa required a full size safari vehicle. This is peaceful and relaxed place in the jungle.
Everything was perfect
The best place stay in Yala
Restaurant was the highlight in the hotel Breakfast & dinner buffet was very delicious
Also the staff very helpful
The hotel arrange safari trip for very reasonable price
We enjoyed our stay & will come back again

incredible location on the beach and just outside Yala. beach, pool, staff and restaurant all merit five stars, with a bonus for the wildlife that visits the hotel daily
Amazing property, amazing staff and amazing facilities. Has to be one of the best hotels I have stayed at by far. There is nothing in this facility that I would change!
The rooms and location were amazing. The staff was friendly and was a great overall experience. A must visit place just to experience luxury living amidst the jungle.
