    The location is excellent and the resort is real value for money . The food was excellent . The rooms were nice . The toiletries in the bathrooms needs to improve .

    This is a great location to stay if you want to visit the national parks and My Village will organise safaris to the four parks in the area either a half or full day. The local town is not a tourist town but it's great to wander around looking in the local shops.

    Was in Tissamaharama for Yala Safari, had booked the early morning Safari. Disappointed with the Safari as there were very few animals except.for.peacocks and spotted dear. Later into the ride our jeep driver and guide revealed we had entered through block 5 of the Safari and most the animals(Leopard, Bears) mostly are sighted in block 1 and 2. Block 1 and 2 were closed that day, maybe just our luck. So I guess check, with the Safari organizer before booking your safari as it quite expensive. Basically disappointed ☹️

    Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks.

    Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks. I' went to Bundala as I've never been to park with big wetlands and I think it was a great choice. We've seen numerous types of birds, lizards, monkeys, jackals, mangooses, bufallos, crocodiles and also few elephants😊 I didn't stay in center of Tissa but still was able to find nice restaurants, like Smoky Kitchen (recommended).

    We loved the location of this hotel. It was beautiful. Our main purpose was to go for Safari, and this hotel is perfectly located from Yala National Park. They even packed us breakfast at 5am, so we can take it with us to Safari. We spent an afternoon at the pool, (and had it all to ourselves which was also a bonus). The food was great, and we had the buffet there. The staff were all amazing. Everyone that worked there, were quite young, but incredibly professional, polite and kind, and they all really went out of their way to help us.

    What an exceptional place! Huge rooms with an outdoor style bathroom - similar to some 5 star hotels’ rooms. Lovely view from the terrace and the swimming pool over the lake and the buffalos, beautiful sunset. What makes this place even more special is the owner Arun and his staff - they go the extra mile to make each and every guest satisfied. They prepared an amazing Sri Lankan brunch for us after our safari. Dinner was sooo delicious as well , so flavourful, best food we had during our stay. Thank you so much!

    Nice, quiet location, away from hustle and bustle of the city center. Owner Manju knows a lot about Sri Lanka, from his extensive experience as a tour guide. He can give great advice and helped us out at the moment our tuktuk broke down. Very good food. We booked a safari through the hotel, and it was a great experience. Good driver that knows how to find all the animals and really takes pride in finding them. We saw the leopard, elephants, elks, jackals, sloth bear and many more.

    This is the best place we've stayed in Asia. It is the perfect location in front of the lake where you can see tons of birds, water buffalos and even crocodiles. The room was sparkling clean and comfortable but the best thing are the owners that are so attentive and nice, they gave us tips, Sri Lanka tea and treats, helped us arranging the Safari and even took us to see hundreds of bats in the afternoon. We can't recommend this place enough!

    unique location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but close enough to go tuk tuk for shopping or dinner. closeness to nature, singing birds, croaking of frogs, all this makes the rest complete. the service is very friendly and helpful. They helped us organize a safari at a great price. I also recommend the hotel massage offer, one of the most pleasant experiences in this category in Sri Lanka.

Fabulous setting in riverside garden, the 3 treehouses are a work of art and every detail bespeaks creative craftsmanship. There’s a hotel with pool next door, and your host provides a pre-safari packed breakfast at 0500!
