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.

We loved Hotel River Front, the staff were so lovely and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Great location and very close to Yala National Park. We booked a full day safari through the hotel which was fantastic and a really great price. They provided us with plenty of tasty food and drinks for the safari and we got to see leopards and lots of other animals. Couldn’t recommend enough!

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).

we loved absolutely everything. Saraii is undoubtedly the best hotel we have been to in Sri Lanka. It is a real experience that the host offers you !!! The service is amazing. The staff caring us ad we have never been with us. The sublime cabins with all the necessary comfort. And very clean!
Dive into the heart of nature, you are immersed in it. Animal sounds give you a unique experience. If you read this comment, DON’T HESITATE any longer and go discover this little jewelry! See you soon and thank you again. It was fabulous.
This hotel is an amazing place to stay while your safari route in Yala NP. The house keeper helped us to arrange a Jeep and a driver. also helped us on our route to Ella. My Village have a really nice swimming pool and an execelent chef who made us an incredible breakfast and also an incredible dinner! If your are plnaning a safari route, don't dubt to book here!
Sri Lanka is a maravellous place, and eventhough the politic crisis, people will give you the best! Don't stop going.
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!!!
Brandnew guest house, everything is clean.
Our hosts were amazing, very attentive and caring. Showed us around (eg. nearby lake) and picked us up from the main road at arrival (since the place is hard to find) and dropped us at the bus stop when we left (making sure that the driver was informed about our destination)
Beautiful garden
For dinner, we had the best curry of 3 weeks Sri Lanka so far. We loved it!
The stay in River View Cabana was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka. Beautiful, extremely clean and spacious room, everything was new and functional. The balcony was very big and had a view on the river. The host was very accommodating and brought us everything we needed. We also booked a safari to Yala through the host. Absolutely recommended for any traveler who stops in Tissa.
A great base for a Yala tour, the host sorted our Yala tour out in advance, just message them ahead of time. The room and hotel etc was great, lovely pool space to chill by to escape the heat. They prepped a breakfast for the AM tour and cooked us an excellent dinner the night before, a very tasty Sri Lankan curry indeed. Attentive and welcoming hosts.
Mahanama, Sahani and Vibu made our stay perfect. We felt part of their family They provided superb Sri Lankan food overlooking picturesque rice paddies and their huge variety of tropical fruit trees. Mahanama organised safaris with knowledgeable guides to Yala and Bundala. They also showed us the sites of Tissa....temples, lakes, sunset with bats!
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!
Indika was an amazing host, very helpfull and easy and fun to talk to. His cooking is out of this world, 11/10 recommend!!! Also he arranged a great safari and learned us on how to make his amazing curry! Must stay if you are doing a safari in Yala! Also the shower is the best we had in all of Sri Lanka. Little gem within Tissa!
Super modern clean room and hotel featuring a lovely pool and surrounding garden area. Great A/C and friendly helpful staff. It was perfect for doing the Safari's the area is renowned for. A real bonus was the restaurant which had very authentic and tasty Sir Lankan food in addition to a more tourist oriented western menu.
The rooms were super clean, including the bathroom – major bonus points there! The surroundings were so chill, with lots of trees and a really peaceful vibe. And let's talk about the food and drinks – delicious! But the best part? The hotel hooked us up with a safari, right from their end. Made our trip extra awesome!
Family owned, very friendly people. Got a recently renovated room that was very comfortable and probably the cleanest we've had all of our time in Sri Lanka. Accommodated our request for earlier breakfast. Cannot comment on swimming pool or food as we didn't try. We stayed just one night.
Wonderful place! Very kind staff and the room was by far the cleanest I’ve stayed in in Sri Lanka. In addition to arranging our safari They also arranged pickup from Mirissa Beach for a very reasonable price and our driver was AMAZING. His name was Sanjay. Request him if needing pickup!
The most relaxing hotel we’ve been to in Sri Lanka. The view of the pool and lake is just gorgeous (I wish we had stayed more nights!). The music also gave a nice luxury atmosphere. The pool was very clean and the rooms too. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. Food was good.
Very calm place around the rice fields, great pool and staff to relax! Also the Sri Lankan Curry at Dinner was amazing! Did a Safari organised by the Hotel with Madu as our guide which was exceptional! Madu had the very best interest to show us all around the NP…
Our host was a wonderful cook. She packed breakfast for our safari at 5am. The several meals we had there were traditional Sri Lankan meals and were all lovely. The price is hard to beat. From the meals to the rooms we saved a lot of money staying here.
We had an absolutely amazing time at Aqua House Hotel. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The breakfast was delicious! The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable.
Hotel Chaarya is one of the best hotels if you visit down south of Sri Lanka. The rooms were very clean, and the staff was amazing. Thank you for your hospitality! Surely recommend it.
