Wild Coast Tented Lodge
5.0 star property
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (45)
"We really enjoyed our 2 night stay, rooms were spacious and nicely appointed. We enjoyed the pool and the safaris organized by the lodge, who supplies rangers in addition to drivers in the safari vehicles. We opted to add an optional safari to increase our chances of seeing the elephants and leopards. Excellent staff, Sasha was very helpful, Venura in the restaurant was great and so was our Ranger Amida. "

8.2 out of 10, Very good, (25)
"Overall a cool experience, we stayed in the sky nest. It is important to know that the road getting to resort is very very rough, essentially off-roading in a jeep, maybe even worse than safari. I wouldn’t recommend older adults or young children or anyone with a disability. The resort had kind staff, great evening bbq and early morning safari packed breakfast. Our only negative was that the safari guide booked through them was not good, of note he was not their usual safari guide on staff. We...

"Wonderful out door experience. Well run by Saman. Very comfortable tent with adequate en suite shower etc. Dinner around the fire was straight out of the film Out of Africa. Very good red wine. Didn’t try the white and the food was excellent. The safari was well worth the early start with a stop for breakfast served in the safari jeep. We had a drive and guide from the camp and a guide from the park too. They are amazing at spotting the game. You need at least 2 nights and it is a wonderful...

"We stayed here for four nights to visit Yala. The hotel is less than 10 minutes drive to the park. The service, and friendliness of the staff is superb. The view from the rooms, pool, and restaurant was beautiful. We could hear the waves crashing from our room. The wooden decks are definitely in need of replacement due to exposure to the salty ocean air, but the interior of our room was nice and comfortable. A lot of the rooms look like they were being upgraded during our stay as well. "

"We only stayed one night in the properttas part of our tour of the island. The room was large and clean with ensuite facilities and lovely hot showers. It is located close to the Yala park entrance and is surrounded by jungle. We also took the optional safari and cannot recommend it highly enough. The service was excellent and we saw plenty of wildlife including elephants really close. The recent wet weather meant that they were not out hunting, but we saw virtually every other animal on our...

"We had such an amazing experience at the Tribe Yala property. We were in it mainly for the camping experience and it was totally worth it. Everything is well maintained right from the rooms, pool area and pathways to the lobby, it was a cake walk to get around the property even though it looked secluded. The staffs were courteous and polite. Also loved how they provided dining experiences next to bon fire for dinner and tree top for breakfast. We also opted for full day safari with them and it...
