The perfect place. ✨☀️ That staff is very kind, always tanking care of what we need. It was my birthday and they had a little happy birthday flute show to us when we arrived. The food was perfect, tasty and they were careful with the chili aside. Very good breakfast. The pool was clean and refreshing. The garden is very beautiful with the facilities to rest, and with birds singing. We went for a little ride to the beach in the afternoon on the tuktuk and we were able to see some local animals, with all the explanation about them. And in the evening a Kottu dinner with a fire and tradicional dancing show, we loved it.

Very spacious, and very clean place which you have all to yourself. Udara is an absolute star, and always on hand with anything you may need. He even took us down to the local beach as we wanted to relax on the sun and this was beautiful too and only a short ride away. The food on the evening prepared by Udaras mother and auntie was fantastic and so tasty, and plentiful. Even a washing machine is available should you need to freshen anything up. I happened to cut a toe on a rock, and the lovely Udara went out of his way to get some antiseptic cream for the cut which was so kind and thoughtful. We can highly recommend staying here, Udara sorted out our jeep for the morning safari and came with us which helped to spot all the wildlife in Yala national park and a lovely breakfast was provided to have at our convenience.

We were a family of 5 and I am so happy we discovered and chose Tribe Yala. It was a privilege to be here and make some wonderful memories. Located right in the middle of nature, when you arrive here there is no where to go and you would not want to it's straight out of a movie. The deluxe tent with plunge pool and roof terrace was amazing and accommodated the 5 of us without tripping over each other just fine. Dinner was lovely, breakfast was outstanding and was served on our tree top terrace which could not have been nicer and the effort was really appreciated, offered and not expected. Served after our super safari organized by Tribe with snack box, respectful driver and ranger. The staff were magnificent. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I would not hesitate to come back. This is where memories are made!

Everything ! The place is amazing. It is blended in the nature, the Savannah on one side and Indian Ocean on another. You can feel connected to the nature around you in a really respectful way. As everyone will tell you there : “animals were here first. we are the guests on their land”. Of course, the rooms are beautiful. You will enjoy spending time discovering every little detail of it. What we enjoyed the most was the food and the service The food was amazingly good and it was the best we had in our all trip in Sri Lanka. The Chef has much creativity and has nothing to envy to Michelin restaurants. Also every team member was very kind and thoughtful. The manager offered us a beach dinner on our first evening to celebrate our engagement and we had a surprise cake at the end to celebrate. But all the team members are very kind, efficient, flexible, and they genuinely caring about people. And at the end, that is the thing that matters. Finally but nonetheless, the safari experience was really amazing thanks to our ranger Darshana. It is a life changing experience to enter in this environment where you don’t belong. But what we will also remember is the passion of Darshana for the animals. He is so respectful of the nature around him and so knowledgeable. He is the one who made our experience unforgettable. Thank you to all the staff of Wild tented coast lodge. We hope to visit you again !

It is a perfect place to relax after a daylong safari, either in the pool or in one of the large rooms. The bathroom (especially the shower) was one of the best in Sri lanka. The personal was really carrying and nice. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. The manager communicated with kindness and rapidly. We enjoyed our stay a lot and we recommend it to everyone.

It sounds like a wonderful place to stay, especially for nature enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the biodiversity and scenic landscapes near Yala National Park. Staying at Podi Hoona Eco Bush Camp would likely provide a peaceful and eco-friendly experience, allowing guests to appreciate the natural surroundings and perhaps spot some of the local wildlife, including geckos, in their natural habitat. Highly recommended for anyone who looks for a wonderful wildlife experience….

The villa provided a high level of comfort with all necessary amenities. The children had a great time observing the squirrels, lizards, and frogs around the property, which was perfect for those who appreciate nature. The service was attentive, and staff members took us out on mini excursions to nearby fishing village and beaches using a villa cart or tuktuk. These experiences were truly incredible and will be remembered for a long time. A big thank you to manager Mahdawa, Tallina and Suraj for taking such good care of us.

The pool is huge and fantastic for families and the dining experience was very positive too. The bar menu is accessible, the buffet very wide ranging with multiple cuisine types, and the Sri Lankan restaurant good quality. The private beach looks good but was closed to us. We also used the gym which had a couple of running machines and climbing, bikes etc.

The staff at Yakaduru are wonderful, in particular Nishantha who took us on the nature walk. His love and knowledge of wildlife really shone through. The huts are open to the elements in places (including the bathroom) but the team perform a visual inspection of each room at bedtime to remove any unwelcome critters and they also fumigate it. We had tea on the rocks and the BBQ which were both really magical and throughly enjoyed by our kids. Although we were only there for one night, it felt like a real adventure.

This is an incredible hotel that exceeded our expectations in many ways. It is hard to fault - the staff regularly went out of their way to meet our needs. The facilities were exceptional - our family pods were very comfortable and the decor classy and in keeping with safari vibes. Kids loved our private plunge pool! The spa was fabulous - possibility one of the best massages I have ever had thanks to experienced therapists. The quality of the food and choice at the restaurant can not be faulted.

Yakaduru is a great place where nature and tradition come together, making it perfect for tourists. We really liked how they treated us and how comfortable we felt during our stay. The safari was amazing, especially because our guide was so friendly and helpful. Despite the dry surroundings, Yakaduru felt peaceful with lots of trees and nice buildings. We had a fun BBQ night with interesting food. Exploring the chena fields and climbing treehouses made our trip even more exciting. We can't wait to come back with our kids for more fun!
