"The stay was amazing. From the moment we walked in we were warmly greeted by the owners of the property who showed exceptional hospitality. The room was really nice and clean with an amazing view of the surroundings. The food was 10/10 with a selection of both local and international options. The owners helped with arranging a jeep for the safari and were ready to help with any other requests. I would highly recommend staying at the property if you’re going for the Yala Jungle Safari. "

Incredible food and accommodation (with hot running water and full comfort!) in a romantic setting surrounded by nature, private safaris in stunning Yala National Park led by guides who are passionate about the animals in the park - we saw countless birds, water buffalo, lizards, a wild boar family, even a sloth bear!"

"Absolutely beautiful property. Right on the beach with easy access. Hanuman langur monkeys were right outside the room. They were so cute!
Room had poor lighting, but everything else was perfect! Hotel next door has a superb buffet- best i have ever eaten in terms of variety!
Access road was bad and there was no place for our driver to stay so he had to find his own lodging."

"First of all, when I went to 'Palugaha pilgrim resort' it was locked. Even the mobile was not reachable. I had booked this thro' Expedia. Fortunately the auto rickshaw driver was knowledgeable about the place so took us to a nearby place. This did not have any name but there was someone to entertain us. He claimed that was the Palugaha resort & also said there was no intimation from Expedia reg my booking. However, he was kind enough to arrange the room for us. After that, everything was fine....

"All in all, happy to stay here, just be prepared to do a lot of extra work to check-in.
The location is incorrectly indicated on Facebook, TripAdvisor & hotels.com, and is 10km north of Tissa. Easily accessed by public transit if you've got the correct address. Make sure they know you're coming, as they were unaware I had made the reservation.
If you can't find their phone #, try them on Facebook, or worst case scenario, go to to their Tile & Bathroom Shop, next to Sampath Bank...

"If you are looking for a hotel nearby the national park, look no further as this place is perfect
You will be sunbathing watching crocodiles in the lake(it’s safe, don’t worry!!) admiring the sunset with the buffaloes and keep hoping an elephant will pop in.
The rooms are spectacular,spacious and very very clean.
The buffet (both breakfast and dinner) is yummy and with a variety I haven’t seen before.
But the highlight of this hotel is the staff. We had the best people looking after us and this was the best thing!"
"Outstanding new hidden gem of a hotel in kataragama. Entire staff from the pool cleaner to the resident manager focused on the customer’s experience. Beautiful campus with large pool and magnificent sites on all sides. "
"We absolutely loved our stay here. From dining under the stars by candlelight in the national park to waking up in the heart of the bush in our gorgeous accommodation- it was magical. Breakfast in the treetops was an unforgettable experience, and the entire setting felt like something out of a dream.
The staff were attentive to our every need, and a special mention goes to Robbie, who was simply amazing throughout our stay.
This place is an absolute must when visiting Yala. We can’t wait to return!"
"This is an amazing hotel, everything is very special. Rooms are clean and spacious and with lovely views and lots of natural light.
The facilities such as the pool and the spa are fantastic.
The restaurant really yummy and lovely atmosphere.
The staff members are extraordinary.
Our son doesn’t want to go anywhere else 😂.
He keeps saying, nothing is like the HiltonYala ❤️"
