We loved everything there- the stuff,the food,how clean it was.
All the stuff in the hotel is just perfect- pay lot of attention,taking care about you all the time and all the time smile to you. They making a great atmosphere there.
The food was so tasty and the prices are ok. The breakfast was great served and tasty. We have eaten only here at the hotel all the time because there are any good restaurant in the town.
The room was clean.It must not be luxury,it must be friendly and clean.
There is a gym in the hotel and I was so much happy about that.Small but very fine gym.
The bed cozy and we slept so good.
The manager helped us to organise a safari tour for very fear price.

Cons:

Air conditioning in the gym because there is so hot.

An outstanding stay with exceptional hospitality & perfect location for Yala
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Serenity Tissa and can highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Yala National Park.

Before our arrival, we were contacted by the owner, Shantha, via WhatsApp, which made everything very easy and personal. We were able to book our Yala safari in advance, which was extremely convenient.

The staff is truly outstanding, especially Shantha, whose warm and genuine hospitality made our stay unforgettable. He went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and welcome.

The breakfast was excellent, freshly prepared every morning and a perfect start to the day.

The private safari was absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Wasantha, was highly knowledgeable and passionate, and we were lucky to see leopards, elephants, water buffalo, and many other animals.

Overall, we were very satisfied and would book Serenity Tissa again without hesitation.
