Travelled to Yala with wife and four kids. Must admit that the location is breath-taking, and regular visits from local wildlife made for a very authentic experience. The facilities however were very disappointing. The buildings, rooms, pool area, and facilities in general seemed run down and in desperate need of a refurbishment. The beach is amazing, but not fit for swimming due to the size of the waves and strong current. Definitely fell well below my expectations when considering the price. Staff were friendly.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the breathtaking location and had the chance to experience the local wildlife – those moments truly make for an authentic experience. We sincerely apologize that the facilities did not meet your expectations. We are committed to improving the quality of our accommodations and are actively working on refurbishing the property to ensure a more comfortable stay for our future guests. We also appreciate your comments about the friendly staff, and we hope you will consider giving us another chance to provide you with a better experience in the future.
It was a good stay, but because of remote location of the resort, it wasn’t possible to explore the areas around the resort. And very limited ability to get around. You need a private vehicle or call $$$ cabs to get around. Comfortable stay with a nice infinity pool and small gym. No other resort features. Staff were nice, but not very prompt when asked for things and they really need etiquette training. The rooms had a rustic feel and were nice and clean. Food was $$$ and western food was not good at all, although Sri Lankan food wasn’t too bad.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Subani. We’re glad to hear that you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the infinity pool and the rustic charm of the rooms. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the staff, and we’ll definitely work on improving service training to ensure a more prompt and professional experience for our guests. We’re also sorry to hear that the meals didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll take your feedback into consideration as we continue to improve the food offerings. We hope you’ll consider visiting us again in the future, and we’d love to provide you with a more seamless experience next time. Safe travels!
Staff is friendly and good. Nice environment. Can clearly see the milky way during night . Good place.recommending to others
Thank you for your valuable feedback, Sandun! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the friendly service, the beautiful environment, and the amazing view of the Milky Way during your stay. We appreciate your comments regarding tea replenishment and cleaning, and we'll certainly work on improving those aspects to enhance the experience for our guests. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you and your family back in the future for another enjoyable stay!
Property is located right on the beachfront which meant amazing views. In the nighttime, animals (wild boars, buffaloes and rabbits) surrounding the property come out to chomp on the lawn which was an amazing sight. A hotel staff will be there to shoo them off though. We cannot comment on the breakfast spread, however hotel staff kindly packed a breakfast box for each of us for our early morning safari tour. Service at the only restaurant was terribly slow. We were the only ones there for an early dinner at 5.30pm yet it took an hour for our food to be served. The pool wasn't very clean either. All in all, still a decent stay.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Sheetal! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the amazing beachfront views and the unique wildlife sightings right around the property – it truly sounds like a memorable experience. We also appreciate your kind words about the breakfast box and the service provided by our staff. We're sorry to hear about the delays in the restaurant and the pool cleanliness. We take your feedback seriously and will work on improving these areas to ensure a more efficient and enjoyable stay for our future guests. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience!
The place is realy in the middle of nowhere, close to the entrance of Yala Park. The view on the beach and sea is perfect. No restaurants in the neighbourhood, ... But did not mind as the restaurant was good, also with the view n the ocean.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Rudy! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful and relaxing location, with the perfect beach and sea views. It's great to know that you had a pleasant dining experience at our restaurant as well, and that our proximity to Yala Park was convenient for your visit. We truly appreciate your kind words about the service and the overall stay, and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway in the future! Best regards to you as well!
Exceptional location, wonderful staff. Cant fault it!
Thank you for your fantastic review, Jake! We're so glad to hear that you loved the exceptional location and enjoyed the service from our wonderful staff. It means a lot to us that you had such a memorable stay. We hope to welcome you back for another amazing experience in the future!
We stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting Yala. The place is situated in a prime spot overlooking the ocean. Unfortunately this place is run down and very poorly maintained. The room was dirty and dusty, there were cockroaches in our room and our driver had to seek alternative accommodation due to bed bugs in the quarters. Food and drink was overpriced and average quality. The "gym" was a joke- machines were broken or hardly working and very limited. No staff manning the pool and the bar was closed. We visited jetwing hotel (next door) for lunch which was a bit more expensive but 10 times better and we wished we stayed there. Their food and drinks were literally half the price compared with our hotel. I can't believe this place has a 4 star rating!
Dear Alia, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the experience you had during your stay with us. We understand how disappointing it must have been to encounter cleanliness issues and maintenance concerns in your room. We take these matters very seriously and will address them promptly to ensure they do not happen again. Your comments regarding the food, gym, and pool area are also noted. We are committed to improving the quality of our facilities and services, and we will work hard to make necessary changes. We truly appreciate your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience should you choose to visit us again. Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
We were told upon arrival that we had been upgraded room - as we arrived on Valentines Day and we were on our honeymoon, we thought this was a nice touch from management. After showing us to our room, the member of reception staff told us we would be billed for the unrequested upgrade at checkout! Needless to say we disputed this and did not pay. We arranged our safari through the hotel which was good. However the breakfast and lunch packs were sparse and of poor quality compared to what was offered by other hotels and safari companies. The buffet selection at the evening meal was disappointing - the hot food lacked authentic flavour and the bbq on our first night was not great. It was only upon seeing other diners looking at a menu did we realise there was an a la carte option which we had on our second night. Much tastier and far better value for money (we had no idea how expensive the buffet option was until we signed for our bill). Breakfast ok but not as good as others.
Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us during your honeymoon! We’re glad you appreciated the room upgrade, though we apologize for the confusion around the billing and for the inconvenience it caused. We strive to ensure transparency with our guests, and we’ll review our communication procedures to avoid similar issues in the future. We’re also sorry to hear that the food didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback on the breakfast, lunch packs, and buffet is very important to us, and we’ll work to improve the quality and variety of our offerings. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the à la carte option on your second night, and we’ll make sure our guests are better informed about the dining choices available. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the chance to provide a more enjoyable stay in the future. Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
We decided to go for a less expensive option in favor of location to the Safari. Laya has exceeded all expectations. The rooms are simple but have magnificent panoramic views of the beach. The pool is simple but well staffed - always someone ready to look after you. The staff have just been the best. They are so friendly and have helped make our stay really special. The place is 10 mins from Safari and the resort organizes everything. Highly recommended!!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review, Bethany! We’re thrilled to hear that Laya Safari exceeded your expectations. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the beautiful panoramic views, the pool, and the attentive service from our team. We're especially pleased that our staff helped make your stay special—they truly are the heart of the experience. We’re also happy that the location was convenient for your safari adventures. Thank you for your high recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
Yes that s exactly right in front of the sea and in the middle of the jungle is how i would describe the Laya.. the hotel staff is great.. the manager has been really helpful in multiple occasions.. he changed our room after an accident with "mosquitos".. and the restaurant has really good food considering location is in the middle of nowhere... on the cons side, it must be really hard to maintain such a facility i will give them that, but i think the hotel could/must be better mainteined and cleaned (eg wooden structures are pale and look old, i saw spider webs in multiple places etc). All in all I still suggest it because of the overall experience, i would do it again. A special thanks to the manager for making it much better!
Thank you for your detailed review, Fabio! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the unique location of Laya Safari, surrounded by the jungle and right in front of the sea. We're also pleased to know that our staff, especially the manager, was able to assist you during your stay. We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the challenges of maintaining such a facility, and we’re grateful for your constructive feedback on areas where we can improve, such as cleanliness and upkeep. We’ll certainly work on enhancing those aspects to make future stays even better. Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another great experience! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
Exceptional service in the dining room from Upul. Convenient location for safari tours. rooms are multilevel with a sunken living room allowing for views of the ocean from both the bed and the sofa. Lovely pool. We enjoyed our stay.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Carole! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated the unique design of the rooms, as well as the beautiful beachscape. It’s also great to know that you found the location convenient for safari tours and had a pleasant experience with Upul in the dining room—he will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We’re glad you enjoyed the pool and had a memorable stay. We hope to welcome you and your family back soon! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
We loved our stay at Laya Safari Hotel. All of the staff were brilliant and made our stay an absolute pleasure. Our room was wonderful - right on the beach with stunning sea views. We hope to go back some day.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, David! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a relaxing and enjoyable stay at Laya Safari. It’s wonderful that you appreciated the stunning sea views from your room and the exceptional service from our team. We’d love to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for another visit. Thank you again for your kind words! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
When the building was built it must have been fantastic. But it can’t have had any maintenance since day 1. All the doors are warped, so don’t close properly. All metal work is corroded. Water is pouring out around most of the buildings. The lawn is flooded by the sprinklers which are also killing the plants. The perimeter fence is rusty corrugated iron which is breaking of in chunks into the sand. The pathways have massive holes in. The food is OK but the Sri Lankan rice and curry on the lunch menu was the only real star. And the road to it is horrendous. It is such a shame as the styling of the buildinds are beautiful and really stand out from everything else we have seen.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We deeply value your comments regarding the condition of the buildings, and we understand your concerns about the lack of maintenance. We’ll be addressing these issues as we work to improve the overall upkeep of the property. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the Sri Lankan rice and curry, and we’ll continue to work on enhancing the overall food experience. We also appreciate your feedback about the road and will look into ways to improve accessibility for our guests. It’s truly disappointing that the architectural beauty of the hotel was overshadowed by these maintenance issues, and we hope you will consider giving us another chance to provide you with a better experience in the future. Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
Staff were friendly but a small pool and nothing really much to do was a pain point. Food was alright.
Thank you for your feedback, Jayakrishnan. We’re glad to hear that you found our staff friendly. However, we apologize for the issues you experienced with maintenance and the slow service at the bar. We take your comments seriously and will work on improving these aspects to provide a better experience for our guests. We understand your concern about the pool and available activities, and we will look into adding more options for guests in the future. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more enjoyable stay. Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
Beautiful hotel and surroundings. You can see wildlife round the hotel and it’s close to safari. Very nice staff - a little slow around the pool perhaps but that’s it.
Thank you for your lovely review, Harry! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and the proximity to the safari. It's great to know you found our staff nice, and we appreciate your feedback about the pool service. We'll work on improving the speed of service to ensure a smoother experience. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
Amazing place ideally situated not far away from the entrance of the Yala park. Surrounded by wilderness with the ocean nearby, a lot of wild animals naturally show up around the hotel. The rooms are amazing and well furnished. It's the perfect place to relax
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Virginie! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an exceptional stay and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings near Yala Park. It’s great to know you appreciated the rooms and the peaceful, wildlife-filled atmosphere. We’re so glad our location helped make your stay relaxing.

We hope to welcome you back for another fantastic stay in the future! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
Charming rooms with sea-view balcony where we can see cows and swimming pool area. On first night, we found flying insects crawling on all the walls and tables...and some bit my travel partner. Housekeeping was prompt to come do an insect spray/killing and changing our sheets after thousands of insects fell dead on it. Their advise is to switch off all lights (except one small one) to keep out such insects. Literally walking around room in the dark for both nights we were there. Not likely to return again.
Thank you for your feedback, Eva. We’re glad you enjoyed the sea-view balcony and the charm of our rooms. However, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the insects during your stay. It’s concerning to hear about the issue, and we appreciate your patience as our team worked to address it promptly. We will certainly look into further ways to prevent this from happening in the future. Your experience is important to us, and we hope you’ll give us another chance to provide a better stay in the future. Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
Decided to splurge for our Yala adventure. Great hotel in beautiful location within the national park so only a 10 minute drive to safari entrance. Great staff, amazing food for breakfast buffet and awesome room with comfy beds. Room had a bath with view of the ocean from which we could see dolphins swimming.
Thank you for your fantastic review, Natalie! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the beautiful location near Yala National Park. It’s great to know that you had a comfortable room with a lovely view of the ocean and even saw dolphins! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to our staff, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay in the future. Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
This hotel was satisfactory - it had an amazing location, absolute beachfront with a pool and great views. It was nice and quiet mostly. Room was a decent size, and the bathroom was really cool. The downside was its cleanliness and maintenance. It just looked like it hadnt been maintained well - rust and dirt around the place. The pool was a bit murky and dirty, and two of the other pools weren't even filled. A lot of empty office spaces in the hotel. A lot of glass not cleaned with what looked like streaks and dead insects all over. The blinds in the hotel room were a bit dysfunctional - some didn't go up.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Ben. We're glad you enjoyed the amazing location, beachfront views, and peaceful atmosphere. However, we sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with cleanliness and maintenance. This is not the standard we strive for, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll be reviewing these concerns with our team to ensure that our facilities are better maintained moving forward. We hope to welcome you back in the future for a much improved experience. Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari

We absolutely loved our stay at Laya.

O my gosh this hotel is amazing!! The room/suite is very spacious with a huge bed and a great bath and shower (just remember to close the blind). The swimming pool is breathtaking along with the view of the unspoilt beach. The food -wow, we had buffet each time and it tasted great - breakfast and dinner. There are gym facilities which we used which were great. The staff are great, very friendly and attentive. This hotel was the highlight of my Sri Lanka tour, it was great, photos don't do it justice!

The hotel is really beautiful and very close to Yala National Park. The only downside is that there're many insects in the room.

Wonderful stay for one nite at this hotel. We were impressed by the friendly and attentive staff! Hotel room is great with stunning view overlooking the indian ocean. The pool is also fantastic. We tried menu items for lunch and buffet for dinner. Both are good and we particularly love the shrimp bisque which is amazingly tasty! Staff also kept checking with us throughout the meals. The breakfast, lunch and dinner time of the restaurants is also good enough which is especially important to tourists under situations checking in late. I would recommend ppl to stay here if they are having a safari trip to yala national park

This hotel is a victim of its location. Situated by the India Ocean it has fantastic views but takes a battering from the wind and sea-air. It must have been a lovely hotel once but is now tired and tatty. The staff were very attentive, especially Opul who looked after us so well in the restaurant - thank you again Opul. Other staff were very obliging and helpful. Our room overlooked the sea but that is probably the only good point. The a/c worked either freezing col or not at all. The bathroom is large with a bathtub and shower but was a bit dirty and the washbasin was very slow to empty. The sheets and towels were thin and worn and the pillows were lumpy. The food was satisfactory and reasonably priced. There is nowhere else to go to eat. On our first night there were only 4/5 rooms occupied - we arrived at the bar and the lights were off - the barman put lights and a/c on for us. The hotel is in a fabulous location with friendly, helpful staff but it needs a facelift to encourage visitors to return.
Thank you for your feedback, Rachel. We're glad to hear that our staff, especially Opul, helped make your stay more enjoyable. We also appreciate your comments regarding the condition of the room, and we will certainly look into improving maintenance and the overall quality of our facilities. We hope you had a memorable stay and that we can welcome you back soon! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
Really happy we stayed here. Staff was super friendly, the place is absolutely gorgeous, the prices (e.g. Restaurant) are very reasonable... only comments is that the floors/insect situation could have been slightly better but to be honest, you're going to a national park, it's normal. Also the spa wasn't really a spa. Other than that, breathtaking rooms, views and location.
Thank you, José, for your fantastic feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our location and had a great experience with our staff. We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the natural setting of the area. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay in the future! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
No safety box in room or reception- maximum to stay two nights only- far from facilities- you need to buy your snacks in the way to hotel
Thank you for sharing your experience, Mohamed! We're glad to hear you appreciated the location and the romantic ambiance. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of a safety box and the distance from amenities. Your feedback is valuable, and we will consider it as we work on improving our facilities. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again in the future! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
We enjoyed our stay primarily because of the beautiful view of the beach and sunset directly from our room. There is a great infinity pool. The rooms could use a bit of an upgrade for the price you are paying (tub seemed a little dirty, room was not airtight and felt humid). Also the staff came into our room with tea and coffee while we were inside, which was a little strange. Overall though, I would recommend staying here as it is a nice hotel.
Thank you for your feedback, Daniel! We're so glad you enjoyed the stunning beach views and sunset, and we're happy to hear you liked the infinity pool. We apologize for the issues with the room and the unexpected interruption by our staff. Your comments about the room upgrades and cleanliness are important to us, and we will address them to improve the experience for future guests. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari

We had a lovely stay at Laya Safari with great views of the ocean and National Park. The pool is great but they need to sought out the gym. Staff were fantastic and food is great. Yes the hotel is a little tired but it all adds to the rustic feel. I would definitely go back.
Dear Jacqueline, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the great views, the pool, and the attentive service from our team. We appreciate your understanding regarding the rustic feel of the hotel, and we're glad it added to your experience. We will certainly look into improving our gym facilities as well. We would love to welcome you back for another stay and create more wonderful memories with you! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathne FOM, Laya Safari
The facility is nice, top-notch, but you can tell it's also a bit worn. The room was in good condition, but just some of the details, blinds needed to be replaced. The loft suite we had was very spacious, loved the layout , with the multi-tier setup. Food was very good - for dinner and breakfast. This is a perfect spot if you want to walk on beaches in solitude - as there are not many people on the beaches due to the harsh waves, it's still very serene, scenic nonetheless. I loved it here, and you're reminded of nature when you look down from the balcony, and there's a cow grazing. Life is beautiful!
Dear Hang, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful getaway, the spacious loft suite, and the serenity of our beach. We truly appreciate your feedback on the facilities, and we’ll certainly look into updating the details you mentioned. It’s great to know that you loved the food and the natural beauty around us. We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing stay! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathne FOM, Laya Safari
The hotel manager was extremely impolite when we made feedback on the air-con system in our room which took too long to get cool. We didnt feel very welcomed at the reception that we expected in a 5-star hotel. Staff at reception seemed barely understand English and made some silly mistakes when we checked in. Hotel facilities are very basic and they couldn't even provide Spa service during our stay because their Spa therapist was on leave (I wonder why a 5-star hotel can only afford to employ one Spa therapist and when she is on leave, the total Spa service will be completely shut down). Last but not least, we asked to hotel to help us call Tuk Tuk to travel to Mirissa at 11am on the morning we checked out. Eventually, the Tuk Tuk arrived at 12pm and the hotel staff did not show a little sign of apology for that. Overall, we didn't think the hotel could live up to a 5-star standard.
Dear Ming, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. We truly regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the air-conditioning, the service at reception, and the spa facilities. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and we will be addressing these concerns with our team to ensure improvements moving forward. We also apologize for the delay with the Tuk Tuk service, as we understand the importance of timely communication and service. Please rest assured that your comments will be taken seriously as we work to enhance the overall guest experience. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you will give us another opportunity to serve you better in the future. Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari
Fantastic. Room was lovely. Great view. Enjoyed safari and chilling by the pool. Rooms were lovely. A little worn but it didn't detract from our stay. Wanted to stay longer.
Dear Anna, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the safari experience, as well as the beautiful view and relaxing poolside moments. It’s great to know that the room comfort met your expectations, despite some signs of wear. We appreciate your understanding and are constantly working to improve our facilities to make future stays even more enjoyable. We would love to welcome you back for a longer stay next time! Best regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari

The hotel is located bang on the beach with the waves of Indian Ocean lapping the clean white sands. Although the sea is not swimmable (it's deep), there's a infinity swimming pool almost merging into the beach. The rooms are inside these hut-like buildings and are designed with all walls having huge glass windows that overlook the ocean and the pool. This makes the rooms feel big, airy and spacy. The gates of Yala National Park are also close (2 KM) and we even saw an elephant (tusker), deers and rabbits near the hotel premises. The service is good and courteous. The food (we had a-la-carte) was very good, especially the Sri Lankan Wattalappam dessert and curries.
Dear Ankur, Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed our beautiful beachfront location and the spacious, airy rooms with ocean views. It’s wonderful that you got to witness some of the wildlife near the hotel, including the tusker elephant! We’re also glad to know you appreciated the food, especially the Sri Lankan Wattalappam and curries. Our team strives to provide great service, and it’s rewarding to hear that you had a positive experience with them. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable stay! Warm regards, Kushan Senevirathna FOM, Laya Safari

“Great location for Yala National Park.”
Great location. Lovely pool area. Hotel needed maintaining more - blinds were mouldy etc. Buffet massively overpriced for standard of food. No other menu options. No breakfast available after a morning safari. Had to take a breakfast picnic which was poor - asked for a cheese sandwich without the tomato but hotel said no. Just needed more organisation and attention to detail and staff be more willing to accomadate small reasonable requests of guests.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad you enjoyed our location and lovely pool area, but we’re sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your stay. We sincerely apologize for the maintenance issues, the limited dining options, and the lack of flexibility with your breakfast request. Your experience with the picnic breakfast and the buffet pricing does not reflect the standard we aim to provide, and we’re taking steps to improve our organization and attention to detail. We truly value your suggestions and will work with our team to ensure we’re more accommodating to reasonable guest requests in the future. Thank you again for your valuable input, and we hope to have the opportunity to offer you a much-improved experience next time. Warm regards, Laya Safari Team
