On n'aurait pas pu avoir mieux !
Pros:

Le personnel à l'acceuil / restaurant incroyable et toujours aux petits soins.
Le safari était top et notamment la jeep de l'hotel avec notre guide LASA => le meilleur qui connait le parc par coeur (chacal, éléphants, crocodile, oiseaux...)

Cons:

Le restaurant peut être amélioré (nasi goreng trop épicé) sur la qualité des plats. Prix abordable mais c'est le seul bémol mais globalement c'est ok (c'est juste si on doit etre tatillon car expérience exceptionnelle)

Pros:

Die Anlage mit dem Pool ist sehr gepflegt und ruhig und die Zimmer sind sehr groß und sauber. Die Terrasse mit Blick in den Dschungel ist auch super. Das Highlight für uns war das sehr freundliche Personal. Sowohl unser Safari Guide als auch das Personal des Hotels waren äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend und haben unseren Aufenthalt zu etwas Besonderem gemacht.

Pros:

Very warm welcome from the Hotel Manager, the rooms were so comfortable, with a beautiful view of the jungle. While we only had a short stay we loved our time here.
It was so close to the National park which made the safari in the morning nice and easy. Including a good coffee before heading off early.
We were travelling with young kids and the engagement with them was exceptional.

Gastvrijheid ten top
Pros:

De zorg van de gastheren. De gastvrijheid was echt buitengewoon. Heel attent. Wij hadden wat last van onze buik en kregen speciaal lime juice naar oma’s recept. Verder ook fijn dat je er kan ontbijten, lunchen en avondeten als je dat zou willen. Prachtig onderhouden tuin!

Cons:

Het enige kleine minpuntje voor ons was dat de huisjes iets meer koloniaal zijn ingericht dan dat ze een safari look hebben die past bij Udawalawe national park. Maar dat is maar iets kleins.

Un petit paradis
Pros:

Nous avons tout aimé : l’accueil de l’équipe toujours souriante, la chambre confortable, les repas copieux, la piscine rafraîchissante.
L’hôtel nous a réservé un safari avec un super guide qui nous a permis de voir plein d’éléphants, des buffles, des singes et même des crocodiles sans parler de tous les oiseaux.
Un moment magique. Nous seul regret : ne pas y être resté un peu plus

Pros:

I am a discerning traveller and my friend and I were extremely impressed with this property. What made it so wonderful were the staff - probably the loveliest we have had in Sri Lanka, truly exceptional. Our 2 bed apartment was perfect - remember this is not a LUXURY 5 star hotel, you are in the Jungle! Meals were great, we pre-arranged a morning Safari and it was excellent. Highly recommend - support them!

Pros:

Wir verbrachten zwei Tage im Jungle Paradise und hatten einen unbeschreiblich schönen Aufenthalt. Die Unterkunft insgesamt, insbesondere unser Apartment, war sehr sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet und wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt.
Besonders begeistert hat uns die über die Unterkunft gebuchte Safari – alles war hervorragend organisiert und hat sensationell geklappt. Unser Fahrer war grossartig, erklärte uns viel über die Tiere und die Natur und machte das Erlebnis besonders eindrücklich. Meine zehnjährige Tochter hatte riesige Freude daran.
Hervorheben möchten wir vor allem die aussergewöhnliche Freundlichkeit aller Mitarbeitenden. Auf unserer gesamten Reise haben wir selten so herzliches, engagiertes und aufmerksames Personal erlebt. Alle haben sich unglaublich Mühe gegeben und wir fühlten uns fast wie bei einer Familie aufgenommen. Diese Gastfreundschaft war wirklich einzigartig.
Wir haben jeden Mittag und Abend in der Unterkunft gegessen und das Essen war durchweg köstlich. Ein kleiner Punkt mit Verbesserungspotenzial wäre aus unserer Sicht die eher kleine Speisekarte. Wenn man mehrere Tage ausschliesslich dort isst, fehlt etwas die Auswahl und einige Gerichte wiederholen sich. Hier gäbe es noch etwas Potenzial nach oben.
Insgesamt gehört diese Unterkunft auf unserer Rundreise klar zu unseren absoluten Highlights. In Bezug auf Freundlichkeit, Gastfreundschaft und Wohlfühlatmosphäre war es für uns eine der besten Unterkunfte die wir erlebt haben. Wir können das Jungle Paradise von Herzen weiterempfehlen.

Nature et tranquillité
Pros:

L’équipe est d’une gentillesse incroyable.
L’hôtel est situé dans un petit pur coin de nature sauvage. Les cris des paons rythment le petit déjeuner.

A peaceful location with wonderful staff
Pros:

We booked two rooms and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately we only stayed one night, but would have loved to stay more. The location was very peaceful, with a balcony view into the jungle. The rooms were spotless and well kept and the bathrooms were huge and clean. But most importantly, the staff were amazing. From the moment we got out of our car, they were super attentive and made sure everything was perfect. They also organised our safari for us, and the jeep came to pick us up in the morning. As we would miss the breakfast time due to the safari, the staff kindly boxed up our breakfast packs. We really enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend it to others. Thank you so much.
