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.

Nice hotel and great value for money - we really enjoyed our stay here. The hosts are very welcoming and the pool area and garden is very nice. We stayed in the tree house and it was very clean and had a nice balcony.
The hotel organised a safari for us and even organised for another hotel guest to join us to reduce the price. The safari was very good and I would recommend booking through this hotel. The hotel also helped us to book a reasonably priced taxi to our next location.
We also used the hotel restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food for each was great and reasonably priced.
If you’re looking to come here for a Yala National Park safari, I would recommend staying here!

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).

Nehansa Resort was in a comfortable location in Tissamaharama town with easy access to nearby places like Raja Maha Vihara. The room was comfortable and well ventilated. Due to the location and mosquito menace, they also had a net covering the entire bed, which made for a comfortable night's sleep. They were also kind enough to arrange the Yala Safari at a nominal price for us. The icing on the cake was the tender coconuts they gave to us on arrival, and the deer they were grooming behind their resort.
I traveled to this hotel from the town of Ella. We arrived in the evening, and upon checking in, I was greeted with a welcome drink, which was a nice touch. We decided to have dinner at the hotel, and I must say, the food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced. Overall, it felt like a safe and comfortable place to stay, making it suitable for solo travelers. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and budget-friendly accommodation option.
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!!!
The hotel is in a beautiful quiet location near the rice fields. It’s about a 10 minute walk to town which we didn’t mind. The owner organized a great safari for us and helped us a lot with using the public transport in Sri Lanka because there is very little information online. We also went to a really cool bat place the owner told us about. Also, I think the town of Tissa is a bit overlooked - it’s worth visiting even if you’re not going to do a safari
This hotel is absolutely wonderful and exudes beauty in every corner. The comfort it offers is exceptional, ensuring a truly delightful stay. Finding the hotel was a breeze, adding to the overall convenience. The staff provided impeccable service, making us feel warmly welcomed throughout our stay. It's the kind of place that leaves you longing to return again and again. Plus, we had the pleasure of spending a few blissful hours relaxing in the pool.
Beautiful property with lake view A way of experiencing typical Sri Lankan arid zone. Close proximity to Yala wild life reserve. Pool and lake view is quite relaxing. Garden is beautiful with local tropical fruit trees. Free loaming peacocks in the property are a bonus. Hotel has arraigned a Yala Safari, the driver was well experienced, showed all animals and gave us the best Yala expereince that is memorable.
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.
Indika was extremely friendly and helpful. But what we really found exeptional was his cooking. Extraordinary! What else was fabulous, was the bathroom; it was the best we ever had in sri lanka.
It was so nice that we could get two bicycles to get to know the environment. Moreover, the room design was very appealing and the service was like in a 5 Star hotel, e.g. with candle light and every detail....
we absolutely loved our stay at river view cabana! The room was so modern and clean and the balcony was beautiful, the best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka during our 2 weeks here. the host went above and beyond to accommodate us and the breakfast was incredible! we also booked a safari through the hotel which was the most amazing day we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Would definitely recommend to anybody!
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.
Very beautiful location facing rice fields. Nice room, essentially a whole floor of a nice wooden building. Excellent breakfast. Very kind owner: he organized for us a safari in Yala national park, he drove us to the bus station upon departure, and he insisted I visit the two beautiful, very old, little known temples in the eastern part of Tissamaharama.
We loved everything about the Blue Turtle, apart from doing the Yala safari we didn’t leave the hotel. Our room was really nice, had a lovely balcony looking out over the pool, the garden is lush and the pool spotless. It was very quiet when we were there but it was still ok. We had some lovely food and the best Sri Lankan breakfast.
This place has one of the most stunning views we've seen while staying in Sri Lanka! It was so peaceful just sitting on our balcony watching the animals walk and fly by. The two guys taking care of the place were very professional, friendly and accomadating. The included breakfast was amazing too! Definitely worth staying here!
Warmly and friendly host,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.
This hotel is really nice. I suggest it to everyone. You can go on a safari right from the hotel, and they charge a fair price. We stayed in their tree house, where you can see the river and hear its soothing sounds. Being there made me wish I could stay forever.
Superb safari we ever had. we wanted to see leopard, and we had it. Property was great and friendly staff. They pick up us from town. we had Delicious breakfast. I love sri lankan breakfast. everything is great.
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!
Great hotel with excellent friendly staff -the food served at breakfast and in the evening was exceptional-the best we have had in Sri Lanka -a definite for anyone staying in Yala
