Could be better
Pros:

The room was very spacious and clean. You can tell a lot of love has gone into making it look good. If you are making an overnight stop for a safari it can do just that but there is nothing within walking distance and is very isolated. The staff member spoke very little English and we asked for coffee before our safari at 5 am and he did not wake until 4.55 so no time.

Cons:

Nothing to do

Pros:

Lovely B&B style accommodation. We booked a deluxe family suite which was extremely spacious and had two separate bedrooms and a large bathroom. The rooms were also very clean. The water temperature was a bit of a let down but given the heat it was bearable. The service was impeccable. There are only two guys on staff, Ashan and Ajith, who went out of their way to meet your every need. Ashan is an excellent chef and cooked us a delicious Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast. Some of the best meals we’ve had on our 2 week long trip in Sri Lanka. I mentioned I liked Tiger beer and Ajith went on his bike to get me one from a local store. The location is about a 45 min drive from Yala National Park, which can be a bit inconvenient but given that you are likely to spend a whole or half day on safari, it’s not a big issue. The scenery from the hotel is very picturesque and there are some lovely local neighbours. Overall, this was a unique experience and deserving of 5 stars!

Art Yala made everything easy
Pros:

Fabulous place to relax before and after Yala Safari tour. Rooms are spacious, clean and relaxing. Property assisted with booking an excellent safari and providing packed picnic breakfast for the trek. Sunset view from the upper balcony across the lake is beautiful & property provided binoculars to fully appreciate wildlife. Staff prepared us a fabulous meal for dinner. Very attentive to every need, thank you.

Cons:

Nothing - we had a fabulous experience here.

Muy recomendable para descansar después del safari de Yala.
Pros:

El alojamiento es increíble, muy nuevo y todo huele súper bien. Además, el personal y el dueño, Madu, son súper atentos. Nosotros cenamos y desayunamos allí con ellos y la comida es probablemente la mejor que hemos comido en todo el viaje.

Cons:

No tiene nada negativo.
