Oneof the most beautiful experiences in Sri lanka was directly in this accommodation, an incredible villa with a pool, a large room, cleanliness and comfort. we felt at home in the villa. Amazing staff who will fulfill your every wish and prepare an excellent dinner under the stars. A great manager who arranged a complete safari for us and who lives for the villa heart and soul. we recommend, 11.10

We absolutely loved our stay here. We were only at the hotel for 1 night but wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel staff are amazing & went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. We were able to book a safari through the hotel & they were kind enough to arrange a packed breakfast for us since we left at 5am. The grounds are lovely & well looked after and the swimming pool was great. The room was one of the nicest we have stayed in during our trip and had so many nice touches and amenities. The restaurant was also very nice & had vegetarian options which was great. It was also amazing to have room service after a long day of driving. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Amazing service, very clean room and great attention to detail. For our anniversary, the hotel left a lovely surprise cake for us in our room. We would like to give a special mention to Nirashan who gave us fabulous service during our stay and also took us on an informative evening jungle walk.

From

There were many wonderful experiences to be had at Yakaduru Yala. We explored the forest areas and observed the farmers working in the chena fields of Sri Lanka. Climbing up to the treehouses was another highlight. When we needed a break, we enjoyed refreshing coconut shell tea from the chena. The people at Yakaduru were incredibly helpful and hospitable, ensuring we were always well taken care of with delicious food, drinks, and new adventures. One of our favorite experiences was Hoppers Night, where we got to cook and enjoy hoppers with the assistance of the staff. Additionally, we admired the traditional masks found throughout Yakaduru Yala, and appreciated the environmental focus evident in the buildings, tables, and walls.

This place is amazing.

This place is amazing. We stay with our 3 young kids and the staff were so kind and attentive. All of the small details have been thought of and it’s a wonderful experience in nature. Lovely local Sri Lankan are served for each meal.

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.

Nil Sisila Beach Resort Yala

Superb - What previous guests thought, 104 reviews

Unbeatable location, right next to a beautiful secluded beach and only 15 minute drive from Yala national park. The hosts are fantastic and have created a very special place, we felt like guests rather than clients. The home cooked dinner was amazing (likely the best culinary experience we’ve had during hotel stays), and it’s very nice to be able to chat with other guests lodging at the resort. Hosts can also help arrange safaris (but you can book directly, if preferred). I loved it so much that we came back twice :) can only recommend!

I stayed a few nights with a friend primarily to do a safari in Yala National park. The hotel is very nice, clean with friendly and helpful staff. The facilities, especially the Gym and SPA (for massages) are very good. The highlight of our trip was the full day Safari which the front desk organised for us. We had the best driver with great knowledge of the best spots to see the wildlife we wanted. He made the experience truly magical. I would definitely recommend asking the front desk to organise it with Madushanka.

This is a great hotel to book whilst in Yala! Very good value for money. Huge bed and very comfy and a nice warm shower. The safari we booked through them was incredible. We saw two leopards, many elephants and a black bear! (And many more beautiful animals). Our safari driver they arranged was particularly great (ask for Rowan!) They also packed us a lovely little breakfast for the safari. Highly recommend!
