Oak Ray Wild Yala
8.5 (64 reviews)

Oak Ray Wild Yala ★★★★★

📍 115 Tissamaharama - Kataragama Rd, Mahasenpura, Tissamaharama

"Where do I start .. we were allocated this hotel by our driver we had booked a private trip with. When we arrived we were placed in the nearest room to the reception so not too far to walk to anything. Our lock on the actual door was loose and not very secure but obviously only noticed it when we went to lock it to go to dinner. The safe / locker was broken and they brought us a new one within 5 minutes ok but if someone wanted to take it ?? Just carry it out again not secured to anything. So we decided to shower for evening meal and didn't realise that the shutters were actually see through if you wanted to look in and considering we were the first room we had about 8 rooms passing us. The room was dark dingy and dirty, broken furniture on the balcony dirty walls and damp showing In the bathroom Bare wires hanging randomly from the walls and drips stained walls from the air con. No spoon provided to make your cup of tea I had to use a pen from my bag. Shower was very shy of a good scrubbing and the cupboard door was thick with dust . Food was cold or tepid not hot and everyone followed in a queue like a wedding buffet. We was told there was a bar in the dining area there was a fridge with beer in it and closed when dining was over at 9.30pm there is nowhere to walk as it was so compact in and nothing outside. We resorted to an early night with a couple of cocktails from a very enthusiastic Vihahga. His talents are wasted here as everyone just wondered to their room from their meal as there was nothing other to do than watch TV that then brings me to another problem the tv was snowing and off channel not just one all channels so it was difficult to watch. So early night it was to be woken at midnight by rowdy young lads on our floor banging and trying to get in our room remember we didn't have a secure lock on our door. So didn't sleep very well worried it would happen again. 5 am arrives and guess what a bunch of the same lads all singing laughing whistling and banging doors like it was mid afternoon all heading for reception which was a spit from our room so my husband gets dressed to speak to reception and no there are no staff on over night they start at 6am. I always review positives rarely negatives but I have no idea in my head how this is a 5 star hotel it's dirty damaged and has no facilities to warrant a 5star the dining room manager couldn't apologise enough it's not his place to have to apologise its the overall manager but he didn't understand enough english to apologise and I had socks older than him. We were suposed to check out and have a 2nd day of trips but we decided to go straight back to the comfort of our hotel and the cleanliness of our room there. The sad thing is if we had known this is where we would have spent the night we would be looking at the beautiful pictures on trip advisor thinking how gorgeous and clean it looks but don't be fooled these pictures are years old and struggling to wonder why the reviews are not"

Cinnamon Wild Yala ★★★★★

📍 Kirinda, Tissamaharama, Palatupana

"Out of the 5 days I spent in Sri Lanka, this hotel was by far my favorite and the most satisfying! It's located right next to Yala National Park, sharing the same grounds as the Hilton resort, so you'll spot various animals quite often. We stayed in a jungle chalet, and it was incredibly clean! Both the AC and fan were very quiet. Every staff member was so nice and friendly. We were able to pre-order breakfast boxes for our early morning safari, and on our departure day, since we were leaving too early for lunch (we had booked a full-board package), they even prepared lunch boxes for us to take on the road. The service was absolutely excellent! And the value for money is fantastic!! Highly, highly recommended!"

📍 274/1, Weweyaya, Yodakandiya, Yala, Hambantota

"The hotel is a bit far from expectations, and the price/performance ratio is not high. When I went to Yala, I saw very ordinary animals, no leopards."

Tree Tops Yala ★★★

📍 Kirinda - Palatupana - Yala Rd, Kirinda

"A gem of a place near Nimalaya Aranya, just 15 minutes to the Yala Main Entrance. Appu's cooking and hosting is out of this world. They organised a great safari to Yala where I saw the elusive lepoard and many Elephants. A must visit place in Yala with nature and birds surrounding you. "

Lankavatara Ocean Retreat & Spa ★★★★

📍 GURUPOKUNA, HUNGAMA, Kalametiya

"Lankavatara is situated about 30 minutes from Tangalle, in Kalametiya. The resort is beautiful and the rooms were clean and spacious. Staff was friendly and helpful. The meals were delicious too. It really is the best looking hotel in the area! There is beach access from the hotel but it was advised not to swim by the staff, which was slightly disappointing. But overall a good place to relax."

Oak Ray Wild Yala ★★★★★
"The environment is great and quiet, and both the courtyard and rooms are clean. There are also heaters in case it gets cold at night. However, the in-room facilities are a bit old, the shower water pressure is low, and dinner was just okay. But for a hotel in the mountains, it's understandable, and compared to other hotels nearby, it's still worth recommending."

Cinnamon Wild Yala ★★★★★
"Amazing place. Would highly recommend jungle cabin for 2 nights. We opted to do the hotel safari (although other options are available), and we had a great guide and saw tonnes of elephants (even males chasing each other!), leopards, monkeys, water buffalo, crocodiles, and a whole host of other creatures great and small. Our guide was top: knowledgeable and friendly. Driver great too. Food was great in buffet, and à la carte was fantastic: veggie wrap can’t be missed and this is coming from a complete carnivore. Hope you enjoy your stay here as much as we did."

Saffron Lake Yala ★★★★
"Bed, room, shower, good ac, breakfast, balcony/terrace. Everything about the room is very good. It is new and in perfect condition. Even better are the hosts and their service. You get a great and daily changing breakfast, nice dinner if you like, and help to plan your activities in Tissa. The place might be a little out of the town, but that is not a bad thing! The town does not offer much. To get around, to town or to the next beach, you can rent a scooter there and directly behind the property is the Yoda lake. It is perfect for walks in the morning, or for sunset. The sun sets over the lake. It's very quiet and you can see a couple or nice animals there. The 2 times we went there, we saw Grey langur monkeys. Also you can see the buffalos around and in the lake, with just their heads looking out and many different kinds of birds. "

Hotel Tamarind Tree ★★★★★
"Lovely hotel. Stayed here for just one night so we could do the yala safari the following morning. Staff very welcoming and even layed out a special table arrangement for our dinner as it was our honeymoon. Breakfast was boxed and arranged ready for our trip to the safari. Would highly recommend staying here"

DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort ★★★★★
"Resort was absolutely perfect!! Room was clean & spacious. What’s most amazing is the resort surroundings that were very tranquil and with many scenic views - especially along the lake that you can see the sunrise. Restaurants around were also fantastic - we tried all 3 and liked all the food. Breakfast buffet spread was also good. Highly recommend anyone who is finding accommodation in Yala area - can’t recommend it enough, especially for this price!"

Lankavatara Ocean Retreat & Spa ★★★★
"Our second visit to Lankavatara SPA Hotel surpassed our expectations! Returning after a year, we were greeted by the same serene beach, the warmth and hospitality of the Sri Lankan staff, and notably improved culinary experiences courtesy of the kitchen team. Our room nr. 8 (Front ocean view) was as clean and well-maintained as a year ago. Anousha – the best masseuses in the world – still works at the SPA, and the overall vibe of the hotel is as relaxed but attentive as before. It seems the kitchen staff has changed, so the consistency, flavours and quality of food of the main restaurant have massively improved. Unfortunately, the beach did suffer some erosion during the heavy rains of the 2023 winter months, causing parts of it to collapse and wash away. This is a regrettable occurrence, not only for the natural beauty of the area but also for the local fishermen who now face increased challenges during their daily fishing trips. However, despite these changes, the wilderness experience remains unspoiled—the empty golden beach stretches endlessly. We loved it here, and highly recommend the hotel to other travellers."
