Quiet, laid back hotel in a great location.
The No Name Rest is in a great location only about 200 metres from the Unawatuna Beach. Also it is off the very busy main road so quieter than a lot of places in the town! John the Australian owner/manager is very friendly and helpful. The service and breakfast were a bit laid back but OK.

Chill Out At Thaulle Resort
Marvellous stay at Thaulle Resort, which is convenient for both Yala and Bundala National Parks = both of which are amazing. The Reception team were very friendly and check-in straightforward. Our room was not large but comfortable, with a great view over the lake. Decor was tastefully style, verging on the cool. Thaulle Resort also hosts a spa which many of the guests used and there is a very chilled atmosphere. The food was great and fair value - excellent curries and Western options. Dinner is outside in a romantic setting. Wine is expensive compared to all hotels that we stayed in = some 5 star. A fair sized pool but in a lovely setting and never.crowded. It was never a problem to get a sun bed in the well planted gardens. In summary a relaxed, tasteful, boutique hotel with great staff and a very pleasant atmosphere. I do not hesitate to recommend..

Room service closes at early time 11:pm compared to other hotels which is 24/7. Room was clean, however, many insects where there so they should put something to keep away those insects. We where couple and they offer us two single beds sticked to each other which was horrible. Breakfast fast was very very limited. Our building is up to 4 floors and there were no elevator. Welcoming was good stuff were friendly. Nice lake view. Dinner food was average.

Dear Anonymous, Warm Greetings from the Thaulle Family and thank you for booking with us. We are sorry to note that your experiences with us were not as successful as most others. We are confused about the insects you mention as they are sealed once closed and we generally inform all guests to keep them closed during the evenings as we are a hotel situated close to the forest. Your booking was done for a standard room and that was what we gave you, though we do apologize as it did not seem to match up to expectations. We do hope that you will visit again.

we checked in and staff were unusually nicer than one would expect, this continues for the rest of the afternoon , was very strange. over dinner we were watching people have these wooden boxes on their tables with their names on them... again this is werird. turns out the hotel had attached to it some kind of wellness/spiritual centre where people book in for weeks at a time to have some sort of spiritual cleanse, the boxes had medication in them. I didnt feel threatened by it at all, but i felt this should be kept seperate from the hotel, the staff and people from the retreat were walking around like they were high on life , the doctor from next door was present at dinner talking to patients etc.... i knew something was up when we checked in. anyways that should be all kept seperate in my opinin, hotel itself was beautiful and the chef and food were some of the best i had in sri lanka.... jumbo prawns give them a try . one more beef was i booked a yala park safari, i was told that the section we went to wasnt as full of animals as the main blocks one or two... i got into jeep and the driver basically said you will have zero chance of seeing an elephant today... ruined my day and i got 5 hrs of bird watching, thats fine if you know what you getting into but I was not told this and really only went for elephants.

Dear waldo, At the outset we wish to thank you for choosing to spend your time in Yala with us and for taking the time to review your version of an Ayurveda Resort. It is always fascinating how people in general would class an experience or situation that one is not familiar with using the term 'Weird'. It would be better if one took the time to understand something without hastily commenting about it in public and thereby misguiding other readers. Ayurveda a form of wellness that does not really have much to do with spirituality, unless one wants to make it so. It is a detox that helps with all forms of chronic ailments and in general adds value and health to life. The main difference here is that all medications are herbal based and the treatments at the center are mainly massages that helps one relax. We are surprised that we even have to mention this in so much detail as Ayurveda is becoming more and more common these days. We do not hide the fact that we run an Ayurveda Facility as it is freely advertised on our web, as well as other sites including this. Our doctor is one of the most qualified in this field and is highly respected for his talents. To become an Ayurveda Doctor is equally as difficult as one is required to first follow Western Medication Studies and thereafter specialize in Ayurveda. It is strange that you mention the friendliness of our team members as 'strange'. I assure you, they are not on any form of medication or to put it more bluntly 'Stoned'. As a professional Resort Hotel that also openly practices Ayurveda, we find this review highly offensive. We wish you well. Shawn J. Peterson Front Office Manager

Lovely hotel and staff
We had a room with balcony that overlooked a large lake. The side of the room facing the lake was completely of glass and the view was beautiful. Much of the lakeside [accessible from the hotel] is walkable, and gave us pleasant morning/evening walks. We chose the hotel because of its nearness to several National Parks, and it is a perfect place to stay if this is the purpose of your visit; you can book your safaris from the hotel. It would be good too if you just wanted to 'chill out' because there is not much to do there other than the lake walk and the pool. Unless you have a car or use a taxi you are pretty well committed to eating in the hotel since there is not much around; the local town is a long walk away. The staff were extremely helpful and very good-humoured, and the meals were quite reasonable. Try to get a room with a lakeside view!

Good value, excellent service
Hired a superior double room. Spacious, clean and good amenities. Management and staff very friendly and attentive without fawning....just strong service delivery. Meals - breakfasts are generous and diverse with mix of western and Sri Lankan. Dinner is choice of A la carte or buffet. The latter comprises Sri Lankan plus whatever special the hotel provides, we had Mongolian sea food Stir fry ( yes I know), and last night BBQ and veg/salads which was petty good. Note prices for wine etc are ok, and the wine selection is varied to suit most tastes ie around 7 or seven red and whites and a few sparkling and rose. Mgt was outstanding in sorting a booking issue. Only gripe.....no warning what a circus the YAla national park safari was. They booked excellent guide and vehicle, but we spent lieterally 3 hrs in long queues to enter the park and then to see a leopard amongst the fumes from 50 to 100 other jeeps. The mgt of this park is very disappointing. However, hotel stay was excellent.

Nice place for a short short stay
Nice hotel with a stunning view. Clean and comfortable with a nice pool. Small but good enough gym. Internett was very bad. Not working at all in the room, and often without connection outside also. They said they were working on fixing it.The lokal food in the restaurant was really good! The more international dishes were overpriced and not worth the mony.Breakfast was very nice! The area around the hotel is very quiet. If there were more to do in the area we would have liked it more. Problem is there is nowere to go and no lokal restaurants so it is boring. Yala national park was nice, but very comercial. All the jeeps were driving around cjhasing after the same animals. Not the feeling of a national park. More like a zoo. I give the hotel some lower score on clenliness and property conditions. The first because the bin in our bathromm was not emptied after the previous guests. The second for the bad internett conection.

FANTASTIC HOTEL
we stayed for two nights,the staff very helpful, we should have checked before we booked the facilities given to our transport & driver, we had to pay extra while we never paid extra anywhere else in the country going round,the front office Executive Mr Chanaka was very helpful( i think they made a mistake on the total charges)

Great hotel
We visited in the off season so the hotel was very quiet but that made it even better as it felt like a private holiday home. Great location on the lake, fantastic facilities, amazing furniture and décor. Huge bathroom. Food was al la carte as there were so few guests but this made it fresh, plentiful and delicious. Would definitely stay again

Gorgeous hotel, fantastic staff and food
Couldn't have asked for more. We got upgraded to a beautiful room over the top of the pool but high up away from noise (there wasn't any anyway!) and with views over the lake. Loved every minute here. Attentive staff, amazing food, cleaner than clean facilities due to the thousands of staff ready to wait on your every desire.

Smart hotel near Yala national park.
Good hotel overlooking Tissaharama lake, decent sized pool, good quality restaurant. Not much in nearby Tissaharama but hotel is ideal for safari to Yala and arranged take-out breakfast.
