Hotels near Akurugoda pillar Inscription, Tissamaharama

Originally it was just a temporary hotel booked for the Yala Wildlife Park, but it gave us a surprise. The hotel is not very big, typical Sri Lankan style. Our room is upstairs, and the pool and courtyard are downstairs. The toilet is very large. It is relatively clean because we have lived in Sri Lanka for so many days. We set off at 5 o'clock in the morning. The local brother had prepared breakfast in advance and packed very delicately. Once opened, it was even more pleasant: two sandwiches, An egg, two sausages, a box of juice, two pineapples carefully wrapped in plastic wrap, and a banana. Originally I only ordered three breakfasts, but when I saw my three-year-old Erbao, the hotel was very considerate. I also prepared a copy for her. Thank you very much. It’s not far from going to the safari park. It takes only 20 minutes. If there is any problem, the water pressure in the bathroom is unstable. Although the water is very large, it will be hot once it gets hot. It’s good to take a shower. In addition, the small bed is not provided with a quilt, just a thin sheet. The air conditioner is too cold and the remote control can’t be adjusted. I wake up several times at night.

A excellent hotel with great and very helpful staff. The food they create tastes tariffic. The location of the hotel is amazing. You really should use the viewpoint of the hotel. The only minor issue is the poolarea. This should have a soft renovation so this will meet with the staffs kindness.

Bed, room, shower, good ac, breakfast, balcony/terrace. Everything about the room is very good. It is new and in perfect condition. Even better are the hosts and their service. You get a great and daily changing breakfast, nice dinner if you like, and help to plan your activities in Tissa. The place might be a little out of the town, but that is not a bad thing! The town does not offer much. To get around, to town or to the next beach, you can rent a scooter there and directly behind the property is the Yoda lake. It is perfect for walks in the morning, or for sunset. The sun sets over the lake. It's very quiet and you can see a couple or nice animals there. The 2 times we went there, we saw Grey langur monkeys. Also you can see the buffalos around and in the lake, with just their heads looking out and many different kinds of birds.

We stayed two nights at Allure Yala in the suite with a private pool. The room was a great size - extra large and comfy bed, couch and TV, dining table, verandah with outdoor seating, and a separate bathroom with a large shower and tub. We loved sitting in the pool with the louvers open to look out to the lake. When we first arrived there was a large herd of water buffalo hanging out in the cool water next the hotel. The service we received was also impeccable. Nothing was a bother and the staff were always available and willing to go out of their way to help. We had some fantastic food during our stay too - extensive picnic packs for our morning safari, lunch on our return, afternoon tea, breakfast the next morning on the deck and two delicious dinners. The food was delicious and great portion sizes. A special thank you to the management team who kindly upgraded our stay to include our dinners and also assisted us with having our laundry done before our departure. Overall, a lovely visit!

A truly unique holiday experience deep in the forest. I was so glad to share it with my 8 year old daughter although she was probably too young to fully appreciate. I know one day she will remember jungle walks looking for elephants ( unfortunately (?) we didn’t stumble on any although they were all around. Kamal is a knowledgeable and thoughtful host the locally sourced vegetarian jungle food was incredible. This is a rare and authentic sustainable tourism experience in Sri Lanka. Twitchers and conservationists will love but don’t come expecting lattes and internet. If you want a swim head to Jetwings at Wellawaya for a day trip.

The hotel is not that simple to get to. Once you leave a nice hard top road, you have to drive down a long dirt road for about 10 mins to get to the hotel itself. That road can become a bit flooded if it rains hard - as it did on one day we were there - and that can prevent some guests getting in and out of the hotel. We’d had a lovely quiet evening meal one night and only found out afterwards that there had been a large group due in but couldn’t get down the road. Generally, it’s ‘normal’ vehicles and buses that bring people but, on occasion, a 4x4 would be better. On the days we arrived and left the roads were passable but you could see how they become easily impassable with rivulets running across it. The hotel though is lovely. The old one was washed away in the tsunami but the replacement looks strongly built, with its exposed concrete and stone construction there for all to see. That doesn’t make it cold and like a factory though. Far from it. It feels like it belongs where it is and its appropriate for a climate that varied between sun, wind and heavy rain whilst we were there. Whilst there are bedrooms on the ground floor (plus the gym and spa), most of the hotel’s common spaces are on the top floor, where reception, the bar and a la carte restaurant are. The main restaurant is one floor down, which has a nice view from the verandas around the outside. We had drinks in the bar on a couple of evenings, choosing to sit on the covered balcony as the indoor space - complete with pool table - whilst lovely was rather cold. The cocktails we had were really well made and come with our recommendation. We didn’t try the a la carte restaurant. Frankly, there was no need to from a food perspective. It was excellent all the time in the main one. The hotel tends to get large groups stay, who like to sit together (and create quite a noise), so the main restaurant can get quite noisy. The a la carte would offer a break from that as it’s in its own, quiet space. We genuinely couldn’t fault the food at the hotel. Breakfast always had a large choice ranging from cold offerings, cereal and salad, through to traditional Sri Lankan and hot western options. Tea and coffee was to order whilst you helped yourself to juice. The story was similar for evening meals too. If anything, evening meals catered less for western palettes and more for the Chinese guests that frequent the hotel. There were always lots of local Sri Lankan dishes too, which were simply delicious. All the hot food was outside the main restaurant space, under cover, with much of it being cooked in front of you. The cold starters and desserts were indoors. I have to say, one odd highlight was the soups. Every night there were 2 soups on offer and they were really good. I did have a tiny bug bear sometimes, which correlated with the busiest nights. That was the staff were a little too keen to clear plates. On occasion, you’d literally be chewing still and hadn’t quite put your cutlery dow

A great hotel. There is only a wire fence between the hotel and Yala Nature Reserve, but the animals are not separated. You can see many animals in nature in the hotel. In the jungle without light pollution, the night sky is amazingly beautiful... …Dinner and breakfast were very sumptuous and delicious. Our guide Achi took us on a whole day of safari. His driving skills were superb. All the cars would give way to Achi when they saw him. This was obviously because of his professionalism in finding animals. The boss MAHESH was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to take a lot of photos for us. The quality of the photos was far above average. Unfortunately, I didn’t pay attention to the names of the other staff members, but each of them was very friendly and enthusiastic. In short, this was the whole experience for me and my children. My favorite hotel on our trip to Sri Lanka, my son can’t wait to go back!
