"This is a tiny gem, don't expect any luxuries but it is well worth a stay if you are in the Yala area for a safari. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and accomodate your every need. Special thanks to Pravin, he is just seventeen at the time I'm writing this, speaks just a little english but was smart enough to whip out the translate app on his phone and we had fun communcating back and forth on that!"

"Hotel a 3 km de la ville, assez éloigné sans service a proximité. Safari trés cher. J'avais résérvé une chambre mais a mon arrivée il n'y en avait pas alors on m'a proposé le dortoir au meme tarif se que j'ai refusé et aprés discussion j'ai obtenu une tente-chambre. Trés bien dans la grosse savane mais prés de la grande route pas nécessaire du tout. Personnel serviable mais on sans que l'argent et le but premier du centre. "

Jetwing Yala

Jetwing Yala

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Jetwing Yala for three nights and had an amazing experience overall. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a stunning pool that’s perfect for cooling off in the heat. Even though Yala National Park was closed for the first couple of days, it was still lovely to relax around the hotel and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The location is incredible, right on the beach. You can even join an early morning walk with the lifeguard, which was such a nice touch. The staff throughout the hotel were genuinely lovely and always happy to help. One of the absolute highlights was the wildlife. A bull elephant visited the hotel twice during our stay once at night and once in the morning which was honestly the best experience ever. The naturalists were always present, making sure everyone was safe, answering questions, and sharing so much knowledge. We did a half-day guided safari organised by the hotel and would definitely recommend going with a guide. Even though we didn’t see a leopard, the naturalists and jeep drivers were so dedicated and made the experience amazing. We saw baby elephants, crocodiles, deer, and even a sloth bear. They even set off early so we were at the front of the queue entering the park. The food experience was mixed. For the first couple of nights breakfast and dinner were à la carte, and the dishes were exceptional. Later it changed to a buffet, which personally I don’t enjoy as much, as it feels a bit more rushed and less relaxed. Not sure why the "
