Everything was wonderful. From.checking in to checking out. We saw elephant on the property, and other wild animals..monkeys, squirrels, cows, and buffalos. Food was okay. Not much to choose from as a westerner... I asked for egg Benedict, and the chef went to made it. Really appreciate it. The ocean view room is very spacious and the view is absolutely amazing.. The bathroom is very huge and allow for a sea view as well. Love the sustainability part of the proterty. All eco friendly , great place for those who care about the planet My family and I will be back.

    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.

    Beautiful hotel which borders the yala national park. We loved our stay here seeing all the wildlife roaming through the grounds of the hotel. We saw wild boar, crocodiles in the lake and water buffalo to name a few. The staff went over and above to organise us a safari at short notice which we were very grateful for and we were lucky enough to see a leopard. Wonderful buffet style breakfast and dinner which we stuffed ourselves on as the food was very tasty!

    We loved our stay at Allure. From the moment we arrived, Ishan and the team really looked after us. The rooms and hotel in general are absolutely gorgeous. Huge comfy beds, lovely big bathrooms and private little pool areas. The location is great for visiting Yala National Park. It is really peaceful right by beautiful lake - we saw an amazing sunset from the rooftop one evening. It's one of the most memorable places we've ever stayed.

    We were only at the hotel for 1 whole day to go on a safari in Yala National Park, still, it was a very nice stay with a warm welcoming and smiling hosts. We got a nice room with air condition and when we were picked up the next morning at 4:30 am for safari, the host came out with breakfast for us which was very ice.
