Pros:

Yala Peace Cottage ist wirklich eine sehr schöne Anlage. Super nette Leute, komfortable Zimmer, gutes Essen. Den Pool haben wir nicht genutzt, sah aber sauber aus.
Wir haben direkt über das Hotel eine Safaritour gebucht, die wirklich Klasse war. Unser Fahrer war super.
Ein sehr herzlicher Ort zu dem man gerne wieder kommt. Es ist etwas abseits gelegen, es gibt aber eigentlich auch keinen Grund in die Stadt zu müssen.

Cons:

Nichts

100% recommended by a grumpy old man - that says something very good about the cottages.
Pros:

Where to start. Very tranquil setting with every amenity. Bit hard to find but once you have. Super. Cottages are spacious and well appointed, no wardrobes so living out of a suitcase but it didn't matter. Super sized shower. Staff are amazingly helpful and nice. Restaurant is fine. First meal we had was tuna - don't chose this, instead go for the Sri Lankan dishes we had bang rice and 3 curry rice to share between us. Sublime, one of the most tasty meals I have had in my 80 years of life. Would very willingly return here and 100% recommend.

Cons:

WiFi a bit dodgy but hotspotted off my SL sim. My only problem area, which is not much of one I admit.

Immersione nella natura
Pros:

Sin da subito abbiamo amato questo luogo immerso nella pace e nella natura! Ampia piscina dove rilassarsi, cottages accoglienti con ampio bagno e bella veranda all'aperto. Personale gentilissimo e accogliente. Molto apprezzata la passeggiata nel pomeriggio nella zona circostante con guida esperta e l'adorabile cane Louna!

Cons:

Non mi viene in mente nulla

Leuk complex met comfortabele huisjes om even lekker bij te komen.
Pros:

Het complex ligt in het achterland maar heel erg rustig. De huisjes zijn erg ruim van binnen en de badkamer is enorm groot Ook hebben ze een heerlijke douche hier! In het zwembad kun je lekker afkoelen en je krijgt hier extra badlakens voor. Ook staan er fijne ligbedden bij het zwembad. Op de veranda bij het huisjes staan ook fijne lounge stoelen. Het locale eten (curry) in het restaurant is erg lekker!
Wij hebben hier ook een safari geboekt naar Yala block 5. We hebben een erg leuke safari ochtend gehad met de neef van de eigenaar. Block 5 is veel rustiger dan Yala block 1 waar iedereen naartoe gaat. Ze hebben ook een comfortabel safari voertuig.
Al met al een leuke plek om even lekker bij te komen.

Cons:

De airco in het 1e huisje was stuk, maar dit werd direct opgelost door ons een ander huisje te geven.
Eigenlijk viel alleen de pasta maaltijd van de eerste avond wat tegen. Je kunt hier beter locaal eten (curry). Die is wel super lekker!

Sehr schönes Hotel mit Pool und fantastischem deutschsprachigem Reiseleiter
Pros:

Manju ist ein sehr netter Gastgeber und Reiseleiter, wir waren 10 Tage mit Manju in Sri Lanka unterwegs und wir hatten sehr viel Spaß! Er spricht sehr gut Deutsch und er konnte uns sehr viel über das Land erklären und auch zeigen. Am letzten Tag waren wir in Yala und haben noch 2 Tage bei Manju in seinem Hotel übernachtet. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet, und es gab einen schönen Pool, am Abed gab es noch leckere Meeresfrüchte und frischen Tunfisch und Manju hat für uns gekocht. Dann gab es noch diesen leckeren Kokosschnaps zum Abschliss. Morgens ging es dann um 5 Uhr auf die Safari, alles war bestens organisiert das Auto stand schon am Hotel bereit und Frühstücksbags gab es auch.

Es war eine tolle Zeit in Sri Lanka! Danke Manju das du uns so viel von diesem schönen Land gezeigt hast und uns einen wunderschöne Urlaub bereitet hast.

Bis bald! Wir kommen bald wieder!

Cons:

Es gab nichts , was man verbessern könnte!

Excellent hôtel que je recommande
Pros:

La gentillesse du personnel, les cottages sont spacieux, les repas excellent, le cadre incroyable, la piscine

Cons:

La piscine mérite un rafraîchissement car carrelage cassé qui est dangereux pour les enfants, temps d’attente d’une heure après la commande donc il vaut mieux commander le midi pour le soir.

Pros:

Immerso nel verde.
Iper rilassante con spazi enormi e piscina a sfioro suggestiva.
Buon ristorante interno.
Abbiamo avuto una stanza famigliare che aveva un'ottima vivibilità, sia per quanto riguarda la parte notte sia anti bagno e bagno in sé.
Se interessati, organizzano direttamente safari.
Persone super carine e disponibili.

Cons:

Nulla

Pros:

This charming hotel is set away from all the hustle and bustle, surrounded by rice fields and near a lake. Don’t miss the short walk there—it’s more of a pleasant stroll—with countless birds, a breathtaking sunset, and wonderful explanations from a hotel staff member who also guided us on safari the next morning. His deep knowledge of nature and sharp eye allowed us to spot wild animals we would have otherwise never seen. A truly unique moment was watching a monitor lizard drink from the pool. The Rice and Curry is also highly recommended—authentic, plentiful, and delicious
