Nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Yala National Park, our stay at this luxurious hotel surpassed all expectations. The rooms exuded style and comfort, providing a serene sanctuary amidst the wilderness. Each detail was meticulously crafted, offering a perfect blend of modern amenities and rustic charm. The culinary experience was nothing short of exceptional, with every meal earning a perfect 10/10. However, what truly set this hotel apart was its remarkable staff. Their warmth and hospitality knew no bounds, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was seamless and memorable. Their genuine kindness and eagerness to assist added an extra layer of joy to our safari adventure.

This was my favourite stay of my Sri Lanka trip so far! The location is incredible, the area was clean and accommodation was clean and comfortable. Every single staff member on the property was hard working, helpful and showed us the greatest hospitality, from the moment we arrived. Even the communication leading up to our arrival was fantastic. Nishantha is a wealth of knowledge. He had so much information to give us about every animal we saw, including all of the birds. Not only did he host us and accompany us on our safari. We also saw him cleaning and helping to maintain the property for the guests. This is the same for all of the staff. We saw them thoroughly cleaning the accommodation, while also catering to the guests needs. The food was incredible! So fresh and delicious and I especially loved the Kotu and watching the chef cook it. The kitchen staff were wonderful. There was also a dance and fire ceremony before and after dinner which was fabulous. Thank you also to the staff for making sure there were no bugs in our rooms and beds before we went to sleep. If you are considering going to Yala you will not be disappointed by staying here! I highly recommend!

Everything was excellent, from the facilities to the restaurant. The pool water also seemed to be properly filtered, and none of us—including the children—had any stomach issues. The Ayurvedic spa massage was also excellent. We had a wonderful experience with both the beach walk and the safari tour. We were lucky enough to see elephants, though the leopard didn’t make an appearance. Even so, we truly appreciated how the ranger kept searching deep into the park until the very end. The dishes prepared by the head chef, who kindly came to greet us at our table on the first night, were absolutely delicious! For breakfast, I had GM Sri Lanka every single day. It’s a hotel I would definitely love to visit again. Thank you so much! The clean-up activity in the national park was also a really enjoyable experience.

We stayed in this hotel for 2 days in October 2023. The hotel is located in the Yala Nature Reserve on the ocean. We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel staff. The general manager of Colonel proved to be an amazing person. He gave us a real celebration in honor of our wedding anniversary. It was funny and unforgettable. The hotel itself is not new, but it has everything you need. The rooms are large and colorful. All with ocean views, comfortable enough. Many thanks to the staff of the entire hotel for their hospitality and attention to our people.

We had an outstanding time! The staff was so caring, they prepared a special treat for New Year‘s Eve and fulfilled all wishes which we had. They, moreover, took the time to take us on a trip with a Jeep. Our room was very clean, the food was very delicious! The location of the facilities is quite far into the landscape which makes it even nicer to have the possibility to get some calm days. Furthermore, we booked our Safari Tour through the Yala Nationalpark with the Hotel, they had the best guide who is very fond of all animals walking around. He gave us great insights. We were really happy to stay here!

This was an amazing stay. I had breakfast dinner and lunch at some stage over the 3 days and the food was fantastic. They also arranged a tuk tuk to take me to RED Restaurant Tissamaharama on my last evening after a nice swim in the pool that afternoon. I also slept very well here and the room amenities were great. Such lovely people working there too. Thank you for a great stay!

    The warmest welcome from all staff, including the resort manager and Prince, the head of staff training. Our safari guide Avinka was the most knowledgeable and remarkable person. His tour of Yala was an incredible experience, we are so grateful for his expertise. The high tea, cocktails on the point and dinner were absolutely outstanding. The most attentive staff made for a truely wonderful experience. Thank you for having us to stay. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
