Enjoyed the stay in our own space! Amazing location with close proximity to all Kataragama main attractions. Situated right across a lake beside the main road. This place had the best spacious & clean rooms with comfortable bedding when it's compared with other options in Kataragama that's going at these similar rates. Managed by a humble local family and they treated us the best way possible. They even offered morning tea/coffee free of charge in the morning & gifted us some yummy mangoes from their own garden as well at our departure.. Got to know that they can arrange a safari as well if required & saw some great experiences shared by the previous gusts as well.. Parking available. Recommending the place to friends, families & couples who are seeking a peaceful stay :)

Remote location in the middle of the jungle, rooms are separate little houses linked by forest paths. Loved being surrounded by all the nature, vegetarian dinner was delicious.

Hospitality from this lovely couple is second to none! We benefitted from Kapilla's excellent guidance whilst in Yala, seeing no fewer than 3 leopards, elephants and so much more! He took us to quiet locations away from other vehicles as we wanted, identifying birds and plants, his knowledge of Sri Lankan natural history is excellent. The room was spotless, spacious and comfortable.

I recently stayed at Rathna Holiday Resort during my visit to Kataragama Devalaya and was incredibly impressed! The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the Kataragama Devalaya and very close to the town. Despite being near the town, the environment is calm and peaceful, especially at night, offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The room and washroom were spotless and in excellent condition, providing all the comfort I needed. What truly stood out was the stunning mountain view from the location, which made my stay even more memorable. Overall, Rathna Holiday Resort is an excellent choice for anyone visiting Kataragama. Highly recommend!t

The staff were attentive and really knowledgeable. They went out of their way to make sure that everything was how you wanted it needed it to be. Anthony and Winnie looked after us from our arrival to our departure, making sure we had enough to eat and drink and that we were comfortable and had activities to do. Dilhara was our safari guide and was brilliant at pointing out different animal species. They arranged everything for us from our arrival to our departure.

Good location to the yala park. Great host who arranged and guided us on an excellent safari trip where we were able to see a leopard and elephants from very closeby. We staid the full afternoon in the park and afterwards enjoyed an excellent dinner prepared by the host en his wife. Highly recommended.

If you are visiting Kataragama, I strongly recommend The Grand Tamarind (TGT). The room was big, the linen was exquisite, the breakfast was delicious and big, and the staff everywhere were friendly and most professional. The location of TGT is strategic being so close to the Dēvālē and Kiri Vehera, and a short drive from it we were able to visit Yala Sanctuary and Situlpawwa rock temple. If I visit Kataragama again, TGT will be my choice for accommodation.
