Top Hotels with Gyms in Tissamaharama

The environment is quite good, facing Lake Tissa, you can watch the sunrise and sunset, it's so beautiful. The dinner options are okay, and the breakfast is because we are going to Safari, the hotel thoughtfully packed it for us to take away, the service is very good!

Originally it was just a temporary hotel booked for the Yala Wildlife Park, but it gave us a surprise. The hotel is not very big, typical Sri Lankan style. Our room is upstairs, and the pool and courtyard are downstairs. The toilet is very large. It is relatively clean because we have lived in Sri Lanka for so many days. We set off at 5 o'clock in the morning. The local brother had prepared breakfast in advance and packed very delicately. Once opened, it was even more pleasant: two sandwiches, An egg, two sausages, a box of juice, two pineapples carefully wrapped in plastic wrap, and a banana. Originally I only ordered three breakfasts, but when I saw my three-year-old Erbao, the hotel was very considerate. I also prepared a copy for her. Thank you very much. It’s not far from going to the safari park. It takes only 20 minutes. If there is any problem, the water pressure in the bathroom is unstable. Although the water is very large, it will be hot once it gets hot. It’s good to take a shower. In addition, the small bed is not provided with a quilt, just a thin sheet. The air conditioner is too cold and the remote control can’t be adjusted. I wake up several times at night.

Nice rooms overlooking extensive rice paddies. The restaurant and pool were also located so as to overlook the same view. I think most visitors are coming to visit Yala Park. Available material indicated that there were nature hikes and a visit to a place where buffalo curd (yogurt) was produced. However upon inquiry, we were told that the buffalos were gone and that there were no hikes. It would probably be best to remove these suggestions from company material. However we did find a very nice hike through adjacent village back roads. The manager was very nice.

Thank you Team Oak Ray Wild Yala. We (Me and My Family) spent a holiday at 14th April 2024 and there was a New Year function with enjoyable awurudu kreeda. ”Ra Kade ” was my favourite event among all. There was a traditional Sri Lankan Breakfast buffet with Sri Lankan Foods. Lunch and Dinner were excellent. Staff is high attentive and especially General Manager Mr. Gerad. Cleanliness, Pool and everything was perfect. Thank you Oak Ray Wild Yala! Wish to come back soon. Highly recommended.

We highly highly (!) recommend this place - as a hotel & safari tour. It’s a family owned hotel from the boss (the lady), her husband and son - they are always around and super supportive. I had regular contact with them before through WhatsApp. They organized for us the private whole day Yala safari tour (5am-6pm) for a great price (a MUST do which was fantastic with the Jeep driver Prisana - only do the tour with them see also below), and also taxi drivers for a great price). We had the big double room with A/C and warm water. It can be easily 4stars from a SouthEast-Asia standpoint. Rooms are a great size, bed is very comfy, bathroom is also great size. It’s very clean. The overall hotel looks really nice, in the middle of the jungle, with lots of birds etc around, nice veranda on the ground & second floor. Restaurant is also running by the family. Awesome food (best Kottu in Sri Lanka) and it was also cheap. You can spend there easily 2-3 days when you do 1-2 safari tours down there. Payment only in cash. I wouldn’t look for another hotel & safari tour! :) La Safari Inn Hotel organized for us the whole day safari tour with the Jeep driver Prisala (hope I write the name correct :)) which was fantastic. We had really the feeling that he tried to provide us the best experience we can get. We saw many many elephants incl groups of elephants, 2 leopards, many crocodiles, birds etc.) price was also good. Food was fantastic which was prepared by the hotel La Safari Inn. I would only book the tour with La Safari Inn if you are down there. You can also do half day tours. But we had the feeling that after lunch (there is a break from 12-2pm and nobody can drive through the park in that time) that you see many more animals incl elephants in the afternoon.

Fantastic Yala Safari and great little hotel! We had a great time staying here - and went on a great Jeep safari with Pasanna organised through the hotel. The whole family (2 teenage boys) were totally enthralled by the safari and would totally recommend Pasanna! We went on the full day safari (starting at 430am … totally worth the early start to be the first in the park!!) - which allowed a full day of immersion and a slightly more relaxed pace. (The half day safaris seemed much less relaxed…). Pasanna the driver/ guide has over 13 years experience in the park, had great 4wd drive skills, clearly knew all of the possible routes in the park - and was passionate about showing us all that was possible in the park! He was excellent at spotting hard to see animals! Note that all jeeps have to have 12-2 as rest time in the park …. We easily passed it having lunch and reading books- when the jeeps are not allowed to drive around) . We managed to see a great selection of animals including 2 leopards (which I hear is very rare), multiple families of elephants with their babies which we were able to watch for an extended period of time, water buffalo, deer, samba deer, mongoose, jackals, monkeys, peacocks, lots of amazing birds, crocodiles, monitors and bats. It truly felt like the jungle book. We got home tired, but truly satisfied with the experience! Definitely felt like it was value for money.

Stayed here with partner and my best friend for two nights while we explored Yala National Park. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was amazing, it had great scenic views from the rooftop and it was very reasonably priced. There are hopper stalls and other restaurants walking distance as well, if wish to try other local cuisines. I highly recommend The Rain Tree Hotel if you’re visiting Yala National Park or the surrounding area!
