The staff at Hotel River Front is 100% the reason you should stay here! They arranged our transport from Mirissa, and to Ella. Booked our safari and sent us with a packed breakfast. We ate dinner at the restaurant at the hotel and it was so good and affordable too! Their safari driver was great, we saw 2 bears and 2 leopards along with elephants and everything else we'd hoped to see. This is a perfect place to stay to safari in Yala.

Arriving at Art Yala my mouth fell open. Located at the lake with a beautiful terrace and the interior design could be found in a magazine. With the most delicious vegetarian rice & curry, a bathroom like a ballroom hall and a bed where you never want to come out made clear that my stay was too short. And the safari with the best and most friendly guide Dulitha made it complete. Thank you!

We had such a beautiful stay at My Resort Yala. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and cared for - the staff really want to make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. This is evident in the facilities - air con, good fans, filtered water in the room, mosquito nets (even though there weren’t many mosquitos), a fridge, a hair dryer, adapters to suit every country’s appliances. My favourite - bicycles. This allowed us to ride around town - a thoroughly enjoyable way to see the place. We did an afternoon safari and managed to see a sloth bear! Along with so many other animals - many elephants, crocodiles, deer, bird species, mongoose, jackals, goannas (probably forgetting a lot here). The leopard eluded us. My husband and I have been on safari in Africa so we thought maybe we’d be underwhelmed - but it was awesome. The pool was great for my kids. The temperature was just right. Breakfast was tasty and very generous, and the place has such a peaceful outlook over the rice fields. All of this for such good value. Thank you to all the staff for making this such a lovely stay.

Beautiful place and beautiful people. We had a very warm welcome, with a rich dinner of local cousine. The room and bathroom were really clean and the bed very comfortable. We were also impressed by how clean and well-maintained the exterior was. They also had flexible check out, and in addition, delicious refreshment drinks were waiting for us after the safari. Everything was perfect and the hospitality of the owners made it even better. We are truly thankful and wish you only the best! Mike & Elpida

    Tissamaharama is a fantastic base for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty and rich culture of southern Sri Lanka. It's perfectly located for Yala National Park safaris, offering easy access to incredible wildlife encounters. Beyond the safaris, the town itself has a calm, local vibe with beautiful lakes and ancient temples to discover. You'll find plenty of local restaurants and shops, making it easy to enjoy authentic Sri Lankan experiences. It's a great spot for both adventure and relaxation, and I highly recommend spending some time here!

    The owner of Serenity lake advices us to visit Yala safari, Sithul pawwa magul viharaya and sithul pawwa a super history with beautiful scenery, which we did and we're very grateful for his advice. We returned to the serenity lake to have lunch before heading off. Requested for a village kind of lunch with the local veggies and it was served on a lotus leaf... The most delicious meal it was. We had lunch at Reds and at the Serenity lake .

    The location is excellent and the resort is real value for money . The food was excellent . The rooms were nice . The toiletries in the bathrooms needs to improve . The bathroom needs exhaust fans as it can get quite stuffy . The resort manager Mr Upal is a nice friendly bloke and is exceptional in his service . Overall a very pleasant experience .

    This is a great location to stay if you want to visit the national parks and My Village will organise safaris to the four parks in the area either a half or full day. The local town is not a tourist town but it's great to wander around looking in the local shops.

    Was in Tissamaharama for Yala Safari, had booked the early morning Safari. Disappointed with the Safari as there were very few animals except.for.peacocks and spotted dear. Later into the ride our jeep driver and guide revealed we had entered through block 5 of the Safari and most the animals(Leopard, Bears) mostly are sighted in block 1 and 2. Block 1 and 2 were closed that day, maybe just our luck. So I guess check, with the Safari organizer before booking your safari as it quite expensive. Basically disappointed ☹️

    Brand new small scale hotel in a beautifully designed building. Colors and materials are matching everywhere. The room and bathroom are huge. The from Art Yala organized Safari in Yala was arranged smoothly and the very kind driver was a real professional. He spotting skills are amazing. The rice and curry we had afterwards at the hotel was one of the best we had on Sri Lanka. The owner is strongly engaged in taking care of everything you need, specials requests included! I highly recommend this hotel, the price value was outstanding.

    The weather in Sri Lanka has been quite warm lately, but staying at this hotel made all the difference. Surrounded by lush greenery and plants, we hardly felt the heat; in fact, it felt pleasantly cool. The gentle breeze from the nearby lake provided an added sense of comfort, making it delightful to relax by the water's edge and enjoy a meal with a picturesque view. Plus, they even arranged a safari for us right from the hotel! If you're looking for a refreshing escape, this hotel is definitely worth considering.

    A fabulous place to stay if visiting Yala or Bundala National Parks. Very quiet but near lots of restaurants and shopping. Rooms were very clean and pool was very good. Amazingly cheap accommodation for what you get. Shantha and the rest of the staff were amazing. They organized our tours and transportation to our next destination for a great price. Breakfast was the best we have had in Sri Lanka and was huge. We could never eat it all. I recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Tissamaharama or Yala.

    We spent 2 months travelling Sri Lanka and this was probably the best hotel we stayed in!! The room was extremely spacious, well furnished and cleaned every morning. The decor was beautiful and the food at the restaurant was also good. The pool was very calming. We were also able to arrange a safari which picked us up outside of the hotel. The hosts prepared a picnic breakfast for us to take which was so helpful. They went above and beyond, it was great value!
