Stand-out experience was the boat tour (right from the dock) to the grove of trees on the opposite shore where you can see flying foxes, egrets, herons, ibis, indian darters, parrots, pelicans and crocodiles. The profusion of wildlife is incredible. Go just before sunset.

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 . The bathroom needs exhaust fans as it can get quite stuffy . The resort manager Mr Upal is a nice friendly bloke and is exceptional in his service . Overall a very pleasant experience .

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.

We were there the first time for safari. We had a tour to the Buddha by the sea…amazing.
This time we were passing through on our way to Ella. We ate at Red Pizza which was just as good second time round.

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).

The weather in Sri Lanka has been quite warm lately, but staying at this hotel made all the difference. Surrounded by lush greenery and plants, we hardly felt the heat; in fact, it felt pleasantly cool. The gentle breeze from the nearby river provided an added sense of comfort, making it delightful to relax by the water's edge and enjoy a meal with a picturesque view. Plus, they even arranged a safari for us right from the hotel! If you're looking for a refreshing escape, this hotel is definitely worth considering.
The service. It was fantastic and better than some 5 star hotels. Sanjeewa and his aunt went out of the way to take care of me and my family and prepared some delicious authentic Srilankan food as lunch and breakfast.
The property itself is so well kept and faces the rice paddy field.
We also booked the safari through them and got to see so many animals. Because we traveled with out 80 yr old grandma, they were extra careful which really helped.
If we visit again, we will surely only stay at this Guest house.
The rooms are incredibly cozy, and the air conditioning works like a charm, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The staff, particularly the young man working at the hotel, was incredibly helpful and attentive to all our needs. We were grateful for their assistance throughout our stay. Additionally, the hotel went above and beyond by arranging a safari for us, adding an extra layer of adventure to our trip. A big thank you to everyone involved for making our stay truly memorable.
Great hotel with good and very helpful team. There was an issue with the pool during our stay related to the current situation in Sri Lanka. We were informed beforehand sufficiently so there were no surprises and we could still enjoy a swim.
Even though we booked our Yala National Park safari separately from the hotel, everything went without a hitch. A breakfast was prepared and ready for us and the night guard was very helpful. A definite recommendation from us.
We highly recommend the Rice of Life Hotel. It is one of the best Hotels we stayed in and definitely the best one we stayed in Sri Lanka. We even came back after a few days for a second stay because we liked it that much. The employees and the owner are extraordinary friendly and really great people. They made every wish we had come true and made our stay really special. Thank you again! We will definitely come back!
Brandnew guest house, everything is clean.
Our hosts were amazing, very attentive and caring. Showed us around (eg. nearby lake) and picked us up from the main road at arrival (since the place is hard to find) and dropped us at the bus stop when we left (making sure that the driver was informed about our destination)
Beautiful garden
For dinner, we had the best curry of 3 weeks Sri Lanka so far. We loved it!
This is one of the nicest home stay/guest house we have stayed in Sri Lanka. It’s very different, with rice fields around. The gardens are lovely & peaceful. The unit is very well presented and it a bit different. The host, Shantha is very obliging with food. We stayed there while doing a safari at Yala National Park & it was close enough to enjoy the surroundings. We highly recommend Yaye Guest House
Our 2-night stay at Shine Park was lovely. The spacious, quiet room and the warm, accommodating family made it a great experience. We booked the safari based on the reviews and, even though we didn't have the father as our guide, his son made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend this hotel and their safari for a memorable stay. Best wishes to their son in his future endeavors.
Everything! Calm, relaxing environment with a wonderful pool. The staff are so attentive. The food is excellent. Fantastic massage from Gayley Spa at the hotel all arranged easily by the hospitable owner, Bernard. The best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka! Cannot recommend it highly enough. Perfect place to stay if you are visiting Yala or Bundala national parks.
The hotel is placed close to the Yala National park. We went there via a jeep ride of around 35-40 minutes. We had a spacious room with frigo bar and nice bathroom. The swimming pool was amazing. The staff was very nice. They still provided dinner although we arrived late and they gave us a breakfast box for the safari of the next morning. I strongly recommend it!
Beautiful hotel with very friendly attentive staff.
The pool is amazing & restaurant very nice.
Provided us with an early morning breakfast box for our 5:30am safari departure too.
The family that run the hotel invited us to their home to celebrate the Sri Lankan new year with them & even shared their meal too!
One of the definite highlights of our trip!!
Very beautiful location facing rice fields. Nice room, essentially a whole floor of a nice wooden building. Excellent breakfast. Very kind owner: he organized for us a safari in Yala national park, he drove us to the bus station upon departure, and he insisted I visit the two beautiful, very old, little known temples in the eastern part of Tissamaharama.
Major plus points for the extremely clean bathrooms in the rooms! With so many trees and a serene atmosphere, the surroundings were incredibly laid back. Let's not forget about the delectable cuisine and beverages! The best thing, though? The hotel arranged for us to go on a safari directly from their end. made our trip even more amazing!
This place has one of the most stunning views we've seen while staying in Sri Lanka! It was so peaceful just sitting on our balcony watching the animals walk and fly by. The two guys taking care of the place were very professional, friendly and accomadating. The included breakfast was amazing too! Definitely worth staying here!
The rooms were super clean, including the bathroom – major bonus points there! The surroundings were so chill, with lots of trees and a really peaceful vibe. And let's talk about the food and drinks – delicious! But the best part? The hotel hooked us up with a safari, right from their end. Made our trip extra awesome!
Warmly and friendly host couple,simple and clean room,welcome drinks,delicious food,the beautiful garden,and Debarawewa lake in front of the hotel gate.You can go around the lake in the morning and dusk, bird watching and enjoy the scenery of lake.We had a great time here.We would like to come back again.
The host and his wife become very friendly with us and provided all facilities we expected. No hesitation for recommend this place as the best choice of stay in Tissamaharama . I wish them to build their business up to the best level in Sri Lanka .
The lodges are absolutely stunning. This hotel was actually one of the highlights of our trip. We loved the huge garden which is perfect for birdwatching. The team is amazing and accommodated us very last minute. We’ll definitely be back!
The staff were so welcoming on arrival with a welcome drink, the pool , food, room was fantastic and great value for Money, this was the best hotel we stayed in Sri lanka,
One of our best accommodations in Sri Lanka. The Hotel is very beautiful including the rooms, breakfast area and the pool area. It was also very clean and food was great.
