“Finding the hotel was easy as it is conveniently located near Debarawewa city. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and were greeted with a refreshing drink of King Coconut, my favorite. The food was delicious, with a standout dish made from cinnamon, which quickly became one of my favorites. Additionally, the hotel organized an enjoyable safari for us. The staff's excellent English-speaking skills made our stay even more comfortable. I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself.”
“We had the most incredible stay here at Black Panther. Nalin, his wife and his family are all so friendly and made us feel right at home. Nalin was extremely helpful and accomodating. He arranged the most amazing safari in Yala for us and ensured we had a fantastic driver, which allowed us to have the best experience possible. He also helped to book us onto one of the buses for our journey onto Ella, which was very helpful. What stood out the most was the absolutely delicious dinner and breakfast cooked by Nalin's wife - definitely some of the best and most authentic Sri Lankan food we've eaten!!! We couldn't be more thankful for our stay here and would definitely recommend everyone to stay here during your trip to Yala!”
“Loved the location and the animals around the property. Saw crocodiles, monkeys, wild boars, monitor lizards and a giant rabbit. Very close to the Yala National Park entrance. The buffet meals were excellent!”

“"My stay at Shine Park in Sri Lanka was an unforgettable experience. Janaka, the owner, is the best safari driver, with 26 years of experience. We saw 4 leopards during our whole day Yala safari with him. Janaka provided lunch, fruits, and drinks, making the day even more enjoyable. His Hilux jeep was perfect for the safari. The rooms at Shine Park are incredibly new and luxurious, offering the best comfort. The hotel's location is ideal, surrounded by stunning nature. The wifi is reliable, and the service is outstanding. The staff is friendly and attentive, and both dinner and breakfast were amazing. It's clear that everyone books their safari with Janaka, and I highly recommend doing the same for an extraordinary adventure. Special thanks to Janaka for making our stay so memorable."”
