Sanchit

Fantastic little campsite in the middle of the Sri Lankan bush, only accessible by 4WD. Head in here and feel the serenity. With just the two tents it's a small, perfectly formed operation run by the wonderful host Nero, who not only looks after your every need but whips up amazing meals in his little camp kitchen, served on a table under the stars, with a bonfire to complete the magic.

The hotel was excellent. The pool like all the pools was very hot, not refreshing but huge and good to get wet and let the breeze slightly cool you down.

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 wildlifeSandra - 4.0Scored 4.0
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.AAnonymousThailand - 10Scored 10
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.ElizabethAustralia - 6.0Scored 6.0

The national park in Yala is beautiful however it is hard to drive around as the roads are poorly maintained. There is a large populatin of birds and i think this safari would suit bird watchers more than those who want to see the elephants. The 6am -6pm safari is too long. Sigiriya is far superior when it comes to large herds of elephants.

The hike in the nature reserve was amazing, we saw lots of amazing animals and landscapes. Were lucky and we were able to meet the tiger as well. It is important to note that the trip should take drinks and food, the hotel staff where we were did not tell us the length of the trip and did not make sure to let us know that we should take care of ourselves. Of course we were smarter and brought with us the necessary equipment .. But there were those next to us who did not and that was unfortunate

We stayed at Laya Beach resort which was very beautiful and was very close to our safari's which made our stay even better. The beach, however, was too rough to swim which was a little disappointing.

- From MXN 2,613.02 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 142 reviewsThe staff was fantastic. Always around for any small need. The location, admittedly far from the city, while the food is provided by the hotel, also prepares breakfast to take away when you go on safari. Dinners were really delicious. The pumpkin soup was a pleasant surprise for me. Insanely delicious. The pool provided solace after a day's safari. The water clean and warm. Plus, close to the gate to the national park, which is not the main entrance, ensuring no unnecessary traffic and queues to enter. Absolutely recommend!PawelPoland
- From MXN 5,065.03 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 396 reviewsGreat lication to spend a beach/pool holiday with family. Yala park really close, and there are also wild animals wandering around the property- there was an elephant in sand dune outside our balcony, there are wild pigs scratching their backs on trees next to the pool, cows working as grass cutting machines for the hotel premises. Good food (the continental breakfast offer could be wider though), spacious and comfortable rooms.SantaLatvia

The safari we booked through them was incredible. We saw two leopards, many elephants and a black bear! (And many more beautiful animals). Our safari driver they arranged was particularly great (ask for Rowan!) They also packed us a lovely little breakfast for the safari. Highly recommend!MaddieUnited Kingdom
- From MXN 5,139.85 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 999 reviewsThis hotel is beautifully located in the Yala park. You get to see a lot of wildlife without even leaving the hotel. We saw crocodiles, water buffalo, lots of beautiful birds, wild boar roaming the hotel and of course monkeys. The food was one of the best. In the evening you have to be escorted back to your room for safety reasons, there was always staff there to help and this was not a problem.LyndaUnited Kingdom

The lodge is close to Yala National Park, which was great for our morning safari. We saw lots of wild animals like leopards, elephants, and monkeys.
