"This is a tropical oasis. Clean, big rooms, amazing pools, great food, gigantic breakfast buffet and beautiful evenings with cocktails at the lounge.
Staff were friendly and the kids had a perfect day.
This really is the new bar we’ll judge all future resorts against."
"Staff were lovely, catered to my food allergies however, the pool needs to be repaired alot of missing tiles.
Prince in housekeeping and both chefs, exec and su, were excellent as well as the locals making the hoppers."
"My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience.
Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.”
What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay.
My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my parents have travelled all around Sri Lanka and tried many different cuisines, so coming from them, that is actually really huge to hear!
Next time I’m in Lanka, I already know where my first stop will be.
10/10 for such a great stay!"
"We stayed here for a few days to go to Yala National Park and Hotel Elephant Eye was a great location for taking a SAFARI Tour. The owner is very friendly and the staff are very hardworking. The property is very well maintained. Room was clean and comfortable. We had breakfast in the restaurant. Easy walk or Tuk tuk to town for restaurants and grocery stores."
"Feels like you are in the middle of the jungle. Peaceful with lovely pool surrounded by trees. Good food and super helpful staff. Comfortable large room."
"This is fabulous hotel! Very picturesque, clean, modern and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The pool is a great size with a modern gym. We stayed here for easy acess to Yala national park which is only about 20 mins away. "
"Seemed the best hotel in the area. Room big with a terrace leading to the very attractive large pool with the lake and a tree house to climb. Monkeys about who were fun to watch. Breakfast more to Asian tastes than mine but French toast, potato’s, fruit and breads available.It was very quiet during our stay with more staff than guests! Good choice for Yala but recommend the wild edge restaurant opposite in the evening for a drink."
"Agreed by the whole family to be the best hotel and stay of our Sri Lanka & Singapore trip (overall we stayed at 11 different hotels of varying quality).
Can't really rave enough about this place. I wouldn't really call it a hotel - more like a luxury, boutique accommodation. Exceptional in every way.
Pros
- Service - exceptional, Upul is the only one who we knew by name but everyone was wonderful
- Pool - the hotel was full but there were rarely more than 4-5 people at the pool and even then it felt like you had it yourself
- Close to Yala National Park - kicking ourselves we did one safari here and one from another (further) hotel as it was so close to the park it would have been much easier travel wise
- Organised a safari for us from the hotel and packed snacks and cold water which was very thoughtful (we paid the driver directly and it was well priced)
- Yummy cocktails and good food
- Great value for money and even more so considering some of the other places we stayed
- Nice large, clean, modern, and comfy rooms with a great view of the fields
- The little extras make it extra special - they had archery, basketball and a mini golf course
- Serene and peaceful, R&R achieved
- Like an oasis and with beautiful, natural surroundings
- Space - just felt personal and like we had the place almost to ourselves
Cons
I can't really think of anything.
