    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.

    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. 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).

    Mithila was a perfect host who couldn’t do enough for us. The room was impeccably clean and very big. The bathroom was also big and had a great shower. We had a large balcony area too which was good to sit out on. Mithila organised our safari and also ordered us dinner from a local restaurant, she also arranged our transport to our next hotel. Mithila made us feel so welcome and the room was beyond expectations. Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka! Thank you Mithila! Would recommend to everyone looking to stay in the area.

    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.

    This place is perfect if you're planning to explore Yala through safaris. We organized ours with the hotel, and it turned out to be great fun and good value. The room was not only clean but also comfortable, offering lovely views of the surrounding countryside. The refreshing welcome drinks were a delightful touch. The hotel lives up to its name, providing an amazing lake view with an abundance of birdlife. Highly recommended for nature enthusiasts!

    We loved our 2 night stay here whilst doing a Yala safari trip, our favourite in Sri Lanka so far! Very good value for money as it felt like we were staying in a luxury hotel. Breakfast was exceptional, and a good packed breakfast which they very kindly made at 5am for us! Dinner was great, big portions and fairly priced - go for the rice and curry (amazing!). Would 100% recommend anyone to stay here! Pool are was lovely and so relaxing.

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....

They even organized a fantastic safari for us, during which we spotted a leopard and a bear. The entire stay was unforgettable, and a special highlight was the complimentary boat ride arranged by the hotel. Their hospitality is truly top-notch.
