Mango resort is the best!
Pros:

Krásné prostředí, měli jsme pokoj s terasou, vedlé které rostly velké mango stromy. Bohužel nebyla zrovna sezóna manga.
Majitel Pubudu nám zajistil velmi chutnou večeři, s tolika chody, že jsme nemohli sníst!
Snídani jsme měli formou balíčku, který jsme si vzali s sebou an Safari v NP Yala.

Cons:

Jedině snad to, že nás u večeře doprovázela místní dotěrná kočka.

WARNUNG ABZOCKE
Pros:

Dass ich nur eine Nacht dort verbracht habe

Cons:

Der Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel sowie die darüber gebuchte Safari waren insgesamt eine der schlechtesten Reiseerfahrungen überhaupt.

Hotel & Lage
Das Hotel war deutlich schlechter gelegen als auf den Bildern dargestellt. Direkt unter den Zimmern wurde – wie lokal üblich – mit Holz gekocht bzw. Feuer betrieben, wodurch permanent Rauch in unser Zimmer gezogen ist. Ein Lüften war kaum möglich. Zusätzlich hat der Kühlschrank im Zimmer extrem stark nach Schimmel und Verwesung gerochen, sodass sich ein dauerhafter unangenehmer Gestank im gesamten Raum verbreitet hat.

Essen im Hotel
Am Abend konnten wir über das Hotel Essen bestellen. Die Preise lagen über dem üblichen Niveau in Sri Lanka, die Qualität war jedoch völlig inakzeptabel.
• Wartezeit: über 90 Minuten
• Mehrfaches Nachfragen notwendig
• Essen kam halb kalt an
• Pommes komplett weich
• Chicken Chop Suey schmeckte eindeutig nach mehrfach aufgewärmtem Essen

Nach einer langen Anreise war dies besonders enttäuschend.

Organisation der Safari
Die vom Hotel organisierte Safari wurde offenbar von einem Bekannten oder Familienmitglied durchgeführt. Rückblickend entsteht klar der Eindruck eines überteuerten und schlecht organisierten Angebots.
• Preis: 50.000 Rupien, vollständige Barzahlung wurde überraschend vor Abfahrt verlangt
• Start um 4:30 Uhr morgens, obwohl der Nationalpark erst um 6:00 Uhr öffnet
• Fahrer musste zunächst tanken, da das Fahrzeug nicht vorbereitet war
• Sehr langsame Fahrt (teilweise ca. 20 km/h außerhalb des Parks)
• Über 20 Jeeps haben uns überholt

Im Park selbst zeigte sich, dass der Fahrer offensichtlich keinerlei Erfahrung hatte.
• Wir waren dauerhaft das letzte Fahrzeug in der Kolonne
• Keine gezielte Suche nach Tieren
• Fahrer folgte lediglich anderen Jeeps
• Kaum Stopps zur Tierbeobachtung
• Insgesamt praktisch keine Tiere gesehen

Nach mehreren zuvor durchgeführten Safaris in Sri Lanka war dies mit großem Abstand die schlechteste Erfahrung.

The rooms is big and it is clean.

Cons:

It is not a new property.

Lovely small hotel located in the middle of rice fields with very helpful staff.
Pros:

The location of this very small hotel among the rice fields is lovely. Don't miss the incredible sunset! The family room is very convenient, clean and spacious. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel has efficiently organised the jeep safari in Yala for us - a must-do - as well as car transfer to our next stop. Everything went smootly. Highly recommended.

Cons:

We couldn't change the temperature of the A/C in the bedroom.
