“Perfect family-run hotel. Close to Yala National Park and a beautiful, wild beach (not for swimming). Food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice large bedrooms with beautiful views. Very flexible with breakfast arrangements to accommodate our early morning safari.”
“We had a fantastic stay at Hotel River Front. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was lovely and the welcome drink was delicious. The staff were exceptional, they were so welcoming, helpful and friendly. The hotel booked everything for our Yala safari and we had a brilliant day. The pool was amazing to unwind after a busy day travelling the first day and after our safari the 2nd day! The hotel is well maintained and is cleaned by staff regularly. Couldn’t recommend this hotel enough.”
“Everything! It was the most extraordinary stay of our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka. Tribe Yala went completely above and beyond in every way - it was a honeymoon-worthy experience! The whole team were unbelievably generous, kind and helpful - we were so well looked after and felt completely safe at all times, which was particularly appreciated as we were in the middle of the national park!”
“Beautiful setting in the border zone of Yala national park, peaceful, blends in perfectly with the surrounding environment. The staff were all fantastic, so friendly informative and kind. Such amazing attention to detail and made a huge effort to ensure we had an amazing experience. Safari was fantastic our guide was excellent and stayed away from big crowds while also bringing us to see lots of amazing animals. This stay was the highlight of our trip”
“Amazing location as the property was in beach front, with a little gate giving access to the beach. Due to being low season we are the only guest but the quality of the stay was not impacted, and the host was amazing. Swimming pool is modern and it was clear even if it was just for us. The room was clean , spacious and air conditioning was powerful. We recommend the local breakfast with sea view. Lunch and dinner was not possible during our stay but host recommended us 'Priya Moon Cafe and Seafood Restaurant' located 500m away and it was so good we came back during the second night.”
“I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Kithala Thissa-Yala Resort, and it was an experience worth every moment. From the moment we arrived, the tranquil ambiance and stunning views of the surrounding paddy fields immediately set the scene for a relaxing getaway.
The resort itself is immaculate, with spotless rooms and well-maintained common areas. Its proximity to the main attractions is incredibly convenient, making it an excellent base for exploring the local sights.
What truly sets Kithala Thissa-Yala Resort apart, however, is the exceptional hospitality of the staff. A special shout out to Ayenaji and Surangi from the front desk, and Iresh, Janith, Gihan, Wathsala, and Pavindu from the restaurant for their outstanding service. Additionally, a heartfelt thanks to the many other sweet and most attentive hotel staff who went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. Their service was unmatched, combining professionalism with a warm, personal touch that made us feel right at home.
Initially, we only signed up for the bed and breakfast deal, but the quality of the food was so impressive that we ended up dining at the hotel for both lunch and dinner. Every meal was delicious, showcasing a variety of local and international dishes that catered to all tastes.
In summary, if you are looking for a place to unwind and soak up the natural beauty of Yala, look no further than Kithala Thissa-Yala Resort. Do yourselves a favor and experience the outstanding service and serene environment – you won't regret it.”
