Pros:

We felt comfortable overall and would especially like to highlight the truly excellent service – the staff were consistently very friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. This made a big difference for us.

The food was also delicious – a real highlight of our stay.

The accommodation itself is perfectly fine for the price.

Overall, we had a great time and would particularly like to commend the dedicated and welcoming team as well as the fantastic cuisine. Thank you so much!

Pros:

We had a lovely two night at Walawa Reach! They gave us a free upgrade to their new rooms with two double beds which were very comfortable! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, sorting out a full-day safari for us. I would definitely recommend doing the full-day as more chance of seeing more animals- we had the best day! Lovely pool to relax and the food they served was great! Thanks for having us :)))

Chaleur, piscine, bonheur.
Pros:

une arrivée sous la chaleur des tropiques, une piscine pour le plus grand bonheur des enfants et évidemment des éléphants qui passent la tête de l'autre côté de la route; le ton est donné. Un accueil chaleureux de la part de Chamil, et de nouvelles chambres en perspectives pour venir plus nombreux. La résidence est à proximité de l'entrée du Parc National et c'est bien pratique.

Amazing room, dinner and pool
Pros:

Very helpful and kind staff, very nice clean and new cabin - we were the first guests in the room so the staff organised a little welcome ceremony, it was amazing! Very close to the park entrance - we saw elephants from the road on the drive to the hotel. Great pool.

Cons:

Nothing
