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 host was really lovely and welcoming, she made us lunch on arrival whilst we were waiting for the room together, and we also had a home-cooked dinner that night. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious and also has air-conditioning! The host packed us food for our safari which she got up to give us at 5am! She also arranged a tuktuk to take us to the bus station. The hotel has a really nice balcony overlooking the rice fields and it's super peaceful to chill there in the evening.

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).

Nice, quiet location, away from hustle and bustle of the city center. Owner Manju knows a lot about Sri Lanka, from his extensive experience as a tour guide. He can give great advice and helped us out at the moment our tuktuk broke down. Very good food. We booked a safari through the hotel, and it was a great experience. Good driver that knows how to find all the animals and really takes pride in finding them. We saw the leopard, elephants, elks, jackals, sloth bear and many more.
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.
A fantastic stay! The Team of My Village is very friendly, location is great in a peaceful area of Tissa, we arranged a full day safari directly with the Hotel and it was an unforgettable experience, the driver had great knowledge of the animals and was super customer oriented. Pool area is beautiful and definitely the best breakfast we have had in Sri Lanka. Do not hesitate in booking this property, and go for the rooms that have pool view (more private).
This is my second time in Sri Lanka and at Laa Safari Inn. This time we had a worm welcome. Clean room, good food. During power failures, they have a generator. That is very important to us.This time we got our safari from the hotel, and he is an experienced guide. So many animals, including three big leopards. Amazing. We got a little closer too. mush love. They also have a good exchange rate. We wish to come back again next time.
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.
SHINE PARK WAS BEST ONLY TISSAMAHARAMA AND SRI LANKA.MY BEST PLACE HAD IN SRI LANKA.SAFARI WAS AMAZING.BEST PLACE IN SAFARI TISSAMAHARAMA.OWNER HAS 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE FOR THE SAFARI.CHEAP AND NORMAL PRICE HE HAS.OWNER HAS NEW JEEP.OWNER SAY US 4 LEOPARD IN OUR TOUR.HE WAS ONLY BEST LEOPARD MAN IN TISSAMAHARAMA.ROOMS GOOD.BEDS COMFORTABLE.WIFI PERFECT.BATHROOM VERY NEW.VERY CLEAN LOCATION.LOCATION EXCELLENT
unique location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but close enough to go tuk tuk for shopping or dinner. closeness to nature, singing birds, croaking of frogs, all this makes the rest complete. the service is very friendly and helpful. They helped us organize a safari at a great price. I also recommend the hotel massage offer, one of the most pleasant experiences in this category in Sri Lanka.
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.
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.
The food at this hotel is absolutely delicious. It was a highlight of my trip to Sri Lanka. They even arranged a safari for us, which was an incredible experience. There's a large lake nearby, currently brimming with water, so it's not advisable to swim due to the presence of crocodiles. However, the expansive garden offers a great place to relax and enjoy your time at the hotel.
The best service in Sri Lanka! On top of being a great host, he arranged a taxi for us from Ella to tissamaharama for over 2000rs less than the best prices in Ella. He drove us on several occasions around in his tuktuk, served freshly made curd, arranged great safari, made breakfast and arranged bus to our next stop ALL free of charge.
We highly recommend!
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.
The best hotel we stayed in Sri Lanka. Everything was just perfect: beautifully decorated, spacious and sparkling clean villa. The pool area is well maintained. Hosts and staff are very friendly and caring. They arranged for us a barbecue dinner near the bonfire, the atmosphere was fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t recommend better!
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.
