Fantastische ervaring
Pros:

Ontzettend aardige mensen! We hebben een prachtige Safari gehad in Yala en ‘s avonds heeft de eigenaar ons meegenomen naar het meer waar we diverse vogels, krokodillen en vleermuizen konden zien. Daarna heerlijk gegeten.

Pros:

La amabilidad, las camas son muy cómodas, el aire funciona muy bien.
Te llevan a dar un paseo por el lago y se preocupan en todo momento que todo estés bien.
No hicimos el safari con ellos, eso lo podemos opinar, pero en todo lo demás sin duda un 10.

Cons:

Todo perfecto

Las instalaciones en general, destacando los jardines y el trato del personal. Nos permitieron ducharnos después del safari, una vez fuera de hora.

Heerlijk!!
Pros:

Heerlijk verblijf! Super vriendelijke mensen. Fijne kamer. Bij aankomst direct naar het meer gebracht om naar de vleermuizen te kijken voor een tour. Heerlijk eten.

Cons:

De kamers waren een beetje gehorig en had last van de honden op straat in de nacht.

comfy rooms and good value, great stay to do yala from
Pros:

the room were nicely furnished, beds were comfy and the staff were really sweeet. they booked our safari and a taxi for our next destination which was very convenient. the safari was very good but block 1 is super crowded and a 45 min drive away but that’s the not hotel’s fault.

Cons:

the food options were expensive compared to what we have seen. for us the food took long and came out slightly cold as well.

Tolle Unterkunft und Safari, sehr liebes Team, wir würden gerne wiederkommen.
Pros:

Schöne Unterkunft in guter Lage. Ausgesprochen freundliches Team. Safaris (halbtags oder ganztags) werden auch kurzfristig organisiert. Wir haben eine ganztägige Safari gebucht und es war ein wunderschöner Tag. Auch den abendlichen Besuch der Fledermäuse am Tissa Lake können wir wärmstens empfehlen, ebenso wie die Hirschfütterung.

Pros:

Établissement impeccable situé non loin du magnifique lac de Debarawewa ou on peut voir beaucoup d'oiseaux dans 1 paysage magnifique. Accessible à pied Le gérant de l'établissement nous y a emmené faire 1 tour du lac à la recherche des différents oiseaux et voir le ballet des chauve-souris le soir venu. Personnel charmant et très disponible.
L'établissement n'est pas à Tissahamarana même ms ce n'est pas gênant pour les Safaris, soit organisés par l'hôtel, soit que vous l'avez réservé avant car ils viennent vous chercher.
Super endroit

Een aanrader!
Pros:

Het is een prachtige locatie, met veel mogelijkheden. Je kan er ook warm eten. Het is eenvoudig om het stadje te bezoeken.
Het meest fantastische is de betrokkenheid van het resort. We zijn in de avond meegenomen naar het meer, waar we veal vogels, maar ook een krokodil en buffels hebben gezien bij ondergaande zon. De safari was goed geregeld en de moeite waard. We zijn zelfs naar het busstation gebracht.
Het is een absolute aanrader!

Cons:

Alles was perfect!

Incredible stay and safari - strongly recommend!
Pros:

We had the most wonderful stay at Nehansa. The room and facilities were so clean and comfortable, the food was delicious and we felt so well looked after by Hansi and Chamika. On our first night they showed us the wild deer who come to visit each night, then Dilum took us to a lake nearby where we saw lots of wildlife. Then we did the safari with Nehansa the next day where we were so lucky to see countless elephants, two(!!) leopards in the trees and so much more! We strongly recommend booking your Yala stay and safari with Nehansa.
