Hotels near Tissa Dagaba, Tissamaharama

My original plan of a 1-night stay turned into 3 nights purely based on the property and the team. The rooms are spacious and well appointed, with clean linen and towels. The wooden floors are a nice look and feel. The air-conditioning works very well. An unbelievable amount of space for work / lounging. The room itself has a work desk which is perfect for remote work. The balcony is small but functional, and overlooks the majestic Tissa Lake. Spacious terraces on the 1st and 2nd levels as well as a rooftop with spectacular views of the surrounding fields and the lake. I got plenty of work done and attended web-based meetings in peace, against an amazing backdrop. At the end of the day it is the people that make a difference, and this is where Yasith and his team were exemplary. From his kind, attentive service to the care he displays to guests and the property (and of course by the way he treats Kalu, the adorable orphaned puppy), Yasith leads from the front. I noted among other things his meticulous bookkeeping skills, which is a rare find for any property. Suffice to say I have found my stay whenever I return to Tissa. What better place for a morning/evening stroll than the bank of Tissa lake. For any reasonable person willing to stay at a 3-star hotel and not expect 5-star amenities, Serene Park Hotel by Ark has all the right things in place. Full disclosure, I did not have any meals at the premises; as I am very familiar with Tissa I enjoy the many local options available nearby.

The hotel is located in a great location, close to Yalla Park. Our room had a beautiful view of the lake. Many thanks to the manager who helped us organize our safari. I want to point out the strange behavior of the ladies at the reception. Not customer-oriented.

We only stayed one night here to do the safari, but it is a very nice place. It is clean and roomy. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom is quite nice, although the shower lacks some pressure. The host was lovely and very helpful.

As mentioned in few previous comments as well the staff is 100% friendly and kind in all area starting from the security guard. Food is good and a good variety Rooms are clean and tidy all in all we are very delighted recommend for who ever who visit the area to have the experience

The hotel's swimming pool is good, the water quality is relatively good, and the swimming pool is relatively large. It can score 5 points; The hotel's Wi-Fi is very slow and basically unusable. This negative review is worth 1 point; The hotel's food is average and can be scored 4 points; The accommodation conditions are B&Bs, so don’t expect too much; The conditions of the hotels next to Yala Park are very average, and that's about it. Regarding chartered cars in Yala National Park, please do not step into the trap. Jeep chartered cars are all priced uniformly by market associations. According to the model, the price is 13,000-15,000 rupees for 4 hours for half a day and double for the whole day. You can buy the park tickets alone. Any quotation in the name of a turnkey package, whether it is a driver introduction or a hotel recommendation, is a scam. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled and ask for price details! ! ! The folk customs in Yala are not very simple, so be sure to avoid pitfalls!

Very close to Lake Thieu, the room is about 30 square meters, consistent with the picture, wild hotel, furniture facilities do not have too high expectations, there is a small creature inside is normal and acceptable. Someone helped carry luggage to the room when staying at the hotel. The dinner was very rich, the meal was included in the reservation, which was better than the restaurant we had eaten a few days ago, and the price was super high. Service in the meal is also good. Because the next day I had to get up early to go to Yarra Park, the hotel's packed breakfast was also very rich.

Honestly this place is so underrated! I had low expectations for my stay considering the previous ratings. But this became one of the best stay experience for my family! They had near rooms with AC and hot water. Fresh cooked buffet breakfast with a SriLankan cusine style and very accommodative of my diet requirements. The rooms were very comfortable with a good view from balcony looking over the pool. The boys that ran the check in counter were not so comfortable with English but they were very friendly and easy to deal with. Was expensive stay but worth every rupees spent!

Hotel service is good, breakfast is good, ordering is not bad, live on the second floor with balcony, swimming pool in front of the building, very quiet, the birds in the night are very loud, go to Safari alone, you will be a chartered car, inform the hotel in advance to pack breakfast The cost of renting a car to other places is relatively high. The location is not on the street, it takes about 5 kilometers to walk to the lake. The overall is very good, very casual!

Probably the best hotel you will find in Yala area. Super friendly staff, they make you fell at home. The rooms are big, super clean, welcoming and with a nice swimming pool view! The bed is super confortable as well. You will find also everything you need in the toilet (hair dryer, shampoo, body wash, soup ans even a shower cap). The restaurant have delicious food and very good service. The swmmingpool is super nice and clean. Staff 5 stars. We arrived super early in the morning and they let us go in the room without charging early check-in. I really recommend this hotel !
