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.

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).

One of the best places we stayed at in Sri Lanka. Contacted me through whats app with loads of advice on how to get bus to Tissa and picked us up from bus station when we arrived and dropped us back to thr bus station when we left. They arranged a Safari for us for the next day at a good price. Room was clean and comfortable and the owner bought us coconuts and juices made from fruits from her garden. She made us feel so well looked after and was a very kind person. The hotel is very clean. There were some vegan options for food.
Hotel Nilketha is a great option before or after safari in the Yala National Park. The pool and jacuzzi set in the palm trees is beautiful! Our room was very spacious, with firm but comfortable beds, good AC, as well as a good shower with products provided. Wifi was also good.
The hotel owner was extremely welcoming and let us try Sri Lankan Arrack, which was fun! As we were there over Sinhalese New Year, we also enjoyed complementary tea and biscuits. We dined at the hotel too and the local cuisine was delicious.
The weather in Sri Lanka has been quite warm lately, but staying at this hotel made all the difference. Surrounded by lush greenery and plants, we hardly felt the heat; in fact, it felt pleasantly cool. The gentle breeze from the nearby lake provided an added sense of comfort, making it delightful to relax by the water's edge and enjoy a meal with a picturesque view. Plus, they even arranged a safari for us right from the hotel! If you're looking for a refreshing escape, this hotel is definitely worth considering.
There is many things i like about this hotel.
Frist and the main thing is the family that runs the hotel. Here you can feel a real spirit of Sri Lankan people and budism.
The kindness that these people have cant be rated 1-10 it should be much more.
There is one more special thing besides perfect staff , swiming pool, ambient , food and kindness. They treat you as a fanily not as a guest .
If you guys want to feel like you are home and feel apritiated in Sri Lanka please visit this place.
Sanjeewa and his wife are absolutely wonderful and incredibly loving hosts. The rooms are clean, spacious, and have a really comfy bed. The view of the rice fields is great. The Sri Lankan food they serve is truly delicious. If you plan to do the safari in Yala, book through him. He has an excellent driver with a great price. I would highly recommend this place to stay in Tissamaharama, especially if you want to visit Yala National Park. Thanks for the great stay!
This is best location in tissamaharama.beautiful place and place was quite.my best place in sri lanka.beautiful rooms
Room are very big.beautiful balcony.i booking the safari with owner.we saw 3 leopards bear,elephants and other animals.jeep was superb.great experience for the owner.he has 20 years experience for the safari.i think this place was very safety for everybody.you booked the this hotel then you should booked the safari with owner.
Kethaka Aga might have been the most beautiful hotel we have stayed in during our travels in Sri Lanka. Not only was the room very comfortable, the rest of the house and garden (including garden/pool area) offered some nice places to relax as well. The staff was really nice and catered to all our needs, from doing our laundry till preparing a breakfast package at 4:30 AM to bring to our safari. Highly recommended!
Everything! Calm, relaxing environment with a wonderful pool. The staff are so attentive. The food is excellent. Fantastic massage from Gayley Spa at the hotel all arranged easily by the hospitable owner, Bernard. The best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka! Cannot recommend it highly enough. Perfect place to stay if you are visiting Yala or Bundala national parks.
This motel serves really wonderful meals. The best part of my trip to Sri Lanka was that. We even went on an amazing safari that they organised for us. There's a big river close by that's presently overflowing with water, so swimming is not advised because of the crocodiles. But the large garden provides a wonderful spot to unwind and enjoy your stay at the hotel.
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!
the hotel was situated on a beautiful rice terrace. the room was very big and clean! the breakfast was outstanding (best that we had in Sri Lanka so far). The family running the place are simply the kindest you can find! they will help you with anything you need.
Beautiful location with lots of birds. Nice & Clean Swimming Pool. Very Friendly Staff, Very large clean room, and large clean bathroom. The food was amazing. Highly Recommend this hotel.
Awesome dishes, clean and comfortable room and beds!
And one of the best service that we ever had in Sri Lanka.
Territory also beautiful.)
Have turtele and smal cute rabbits.😍
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The charm of this villa is something special, far from the typical vibe of a chain hotel. It provided us a retreat from busy routines and we were able to immerse with friends and family.
The place was bordering to the Yodawewa historical tank in Sri Lanka. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facilities were very clean and comfortable.
So far, our best stay in Sri Lanka!
Beautiful hotel, friendly & VERY helpful staff!
Perfect spot for YALA safari!
DELICIOUS dinner, breakfast & cardamom tea!
