The air conditioning worked well to help combat the humidity and heat. There were plenty of light options, side lights and the overhead light which is nice. The bed was decently comfortable not too hard. I appreciated the drying rack in the room to dry clothes.

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.

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).

Mithila was a perfect host who couldn’t do enough for us. The room was impeccably clean and very big. The bathroom was also big and had a great shower. We had a large balcony area too which was good to sit out on. Mithila organised our safari and also ordered us dinner from a local restaurant, she also arranged our transport to our next hotel. Mithila made us feel so welcome and the room was beyond expectations. Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka! Thank you Mithila! Would recommend to everyone looking to stay in the area.
The pool made everyone happy. It is quite spacious, has deep parts and overlooks the beautiful lake scenery. Thanks for sun-beds and pool towels, that is thoughtful. The room is spacious and has comfy beds. This was the only hotel during our trip in Sri Lanka to provide cribs for little ones. I would also like to compliment the shower located under the stars with a net protecting from insects. I didn’t experience any problems with hot shower, there was a plenty of hot water. The hotel helps to arrange safari in Yala.
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.
This was the best hotel we stayed in during our travels in Sri Lanka! The service is extraordinary, the staff and owner is willing to help you with anything. They dropped us off at the bus stop for free and arranged a super nice safari for us for a good price. The swimming pool is amazing, good to relax at after the safari. The rooms are very spacious and stylish, with high ceilings. Everything was super clean as well and the food was very good.Very good value for money!!!
Incredible rooms, grounds, breakfast and staff. Everything here was top notch from arrival to departure. What an incredible hotel!
We were able to book a private safari (recommended) through the hotel for a lower price than other locations online. Chuti was a great guide and saw/pointed out animals that we would’ve missed.
The pool is a dream at the hotel, as are all the facilities.
It’s clean, comfortable and luxurious.
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!
Fantastic stay, great facilities, but most of all the customer service by the staff is fabulous. Manager Indika and his team provided the best customer service humanly possible. He stretched our experience to further greatness by taking us for bush walks, plucking wild grown plants and making herbal teas, treating us with excellent recipes of local food. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Yala.
We embarked on a safari adventure with them, encountering majestic bears, elusive leopards, and graceful elephants. The hotel, nestled near a serene lake, welcomed us with the enchanting melodies of evening birdsong. Whether traveling solo or in a group, it's the perfect destination. Additionally, the expansive garden adds to the charm. We look forward to returning to Sri Lanka and reuniting with them.
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.
Definitely the best place I've stayed in Sri Lanka. Cleanest place, great location (especially for Yala National Park tour), amazing staff who took care of everything we needed. The rooms are very big with all facilities that can be found in high star hotels. The food was extremely good. If we could be able to take this hotel with us for the rest of our trip, we will no doubt do that.
Randy and his family were amazing host, the friendliest you can ever find in Sri Lanka, always willing to help and give attention. Food (both breakfast and dinner) were really tasty. Randy took us on his motorbike to visit the amazing landscape and lake around. We felt good from the very beginning and felt sad to leave such great people and souls.
12 out of 10 points. Very lovely and welcoming family who helped us organize airport transfer and tour in the National Park.
The Boutique Hotel is clean, with a beautiful garden and pool where you can spot rare birds. The bungalows are equipped with love for detail.
Delicious Sri Lankan food and also breakfast. We loved the coconut roti!
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 wifi is excellent - best internet access I have had during my time in Sri Lanka. Even when the wifi became flakey, data coverage of the hotel is great. The bathroom is large with a comfortable shower - and the garden (and pool) are beautiful without any noise of traffic nearby.
Chaarya Resorts and Spa is the best hotel in Yala for those who are looking for a luxurious and peaceful getaway. Located in the heart of Yala National Park, this resort offers guests a unique blend of natural beauty, luxury amenities, and excellent customer service.
This is the perfect place to stay in Tissa. Great location next to the bus station, the room and bathroom are super clean and the hosts are so nice and helpful. Best hotel I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka so far!
Lovely. It’s a beautiful hotel and probably the cleanest hotel I stayed at in Sri Lanka. The hotel arranged our safari- I was happy with the driver. We had excellent animal sightings.
Nice, family run guest house. They served nice Sri Lankan food. We got there very late evening but that was no problem and we got a welcome drink King Coconut.
