Everything was perfect, except for the lighting in our hut which could have been a lot brighter particularly in and around the wardrobe/bathroom spaces. To be fair the management did bend over backwards to improve the situation as best they could by providing a reading light. All the staff were amazing!

One of the best hotels weve ever stayed in. Rooms were beautifully decorated and felt very private. Beach bonfire cocktails were amazing. The food, and menu choice as a vegetarian was exceptional. Spa and massage very good. Your stay includes safari, which also included skipping all the queues (which was a brilliant surprise). The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make our 1 night stay unique

Amazing hotel

We had booked as part of our trip around Sri Lanka and honestly loved every second of being there. My only criticism is the driveway to the hotel. The sandy offroad path really isn't drivable by most normal vehicles and the hotel gave no warning that we might need a different type of car to access the property. Upon arrival, we were greeted by staff to take us to reception. Check-in was super efficient and after a quick tour of the property we were shown to our room where our bags were already waiting. Wow. The rooms are amazing - huge and everything in it feels brand new. The centre point of the room is the large bed with a variety of pillows. There is a good sized wardrobe with a safe and desk area with plenty of plug points. Behind the bed is the bathroom with closed off toilet, shower and a rolltop bathtub. The lounge area of the room has a love seat and tv/speaker system and there is also a dining table by the coffee machine and well stocked minibar (which is all included in your package). Air con works well in the room and there is a fan above the bed. Each room also includes its own decent sized plunge pool and decking and we had an amazing view to the beach and sea. The hotel has a restaurant, a stunning bar with an extensive cocktail list and a sundowners bar on the beach which is open each evening. All food and drink is included in your package and the quality of the food and service is very good... there just isn't enough time to enjoy everything!

Recommend hotel.

The hotel is amazing, very high class hotel. The food is like a chef restaurant so all day you have different options to eat, really nice. Yala park is nice, didn’t saw many wild animals because of the weather (rainy). Dulaj in the restaurant were very kind and lovely, He made us home filling. Thanks Chena Huts.
