Relaxing quiet place with cosy cottages and pool.
Pros:

Spacious ‘resort’ with nice garden. Lovely cottages with bedroom, extra side room with desk and fridge, and hot shower bathroom. Clean big pool. Food was okay.

Cons:

A bit far from Park entrance, but that was our own ‘mistake’.
Bit remote from town so besides a safari tour you’ll probably stay at resort. No problem, relaxing atmosphere and drinks & food available.
A pool issue with tiles will be fixed in the next few days.

Encant fora del centre
Pros:

Lloc molt especial, bastant apartat, ens va costar de trobar-ho de nit però això li dóna encant. Bon menjar, personal molt atent. És un gust poder relaxar-se a la piscina tornant del safari

Cons:

Instal·lacions una mica atrotinades, sembla que ha viscut temps millors

Het personeel is heel vriendelijk. Alles ook heel schoon. Villa’s vrij basic maar wel airco. Prima uitvalsbasis voor 2 nachtjes als je naar Yala park wilt gaan 🤗

Fantastisch verblijf nabij de jungle.
Pros:

De omgeving is fantastisch en het zwembad heerlijk, vooral na een lange dag Safari.
We hebben ook heerlijk gegeten, een volledige vismaaltijd.
We waren er achteraf graag nog wat langer gebleven.

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.
