Wow, what a find Art Yala boutique resort is. If you want a a break away from the hustle and bustle of every day life this is the place to come.It’s hard to explain how beautiful and tranquil the view is from this fabulous resorts garden looking across the lake to the distant Buddhist temple, perfect for morning yoga. Madu the resort owner and his wonderful staff Nisal, Mahesh, Sampath and the outstanding Chef Indika looked after us like family. The fruit and tasty cooked food for dinner is all local produce. The rooms are very modern and spacious with all mod cons required. For a trip to the National Reserve Safari park. Madu can arrange everything for a full day or half day safari. If you’re lucky,like we were you may get to see a Leopard or two along with the many other wild animals. Thanks Madu 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the wonderful stay Kind regards Pete & Di

An exceptional family stay, in December 2024, this was a newly built facility. The family run hotel had a homely atmosphere, everyone was super friendly and polite. The owner has put a lot of thought into the layout and details of the whole hotel. The room are expansive, very comfortable and immaculately clean. The private balconies offer great views over the picturesque rice fields and beyond to the lake. The gardens are teaming with birds. The pool is well maintained, and very welcome after a long journey. The food was super fresh and very tasty, home cooked in a very clean open air kitchen. The owner arranged our Yala safari. We had a very enjoyable stay, in hide sight we should have stayed longer.

Gem of a place. As mentioned in other reviews the rooms are basic BUT comfortable and clean. For the price they are more than perfect. The setting itself was wonderful - right by the lake, surrounded by wildlife. In the evening, the host took us by tuktuk/scooter for a free tour of the lakes where we saw varans, bats, many birds including two beautiful owls !, and even a (harmless) snake. I booked my Yala safari with the host the day before and we could tell that the driver was more experienced than others. We saw all the wildlife one could see in Yala - leopards, crocodiles, varans, many birds, elephants, mongooses and even a sloth bear ! Perfect place, I'm happy I choose it.

The host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The breakfasts were delicious, and they even went above and beyond by assisting with transportation, arranging a safari, and taking me bird watching. Highly recommended!

Great location on a big block of land next to a lake that had water buffalo in the afternoon. Nice pool to cool off in, the room was tidy with a/c and fan that worked well. The staff could not do enough for you and the highlight was the prepared meals, delicious food and large serves at a very cheap price. We also did a Yala safari from there which was organised by the manager Dilipa where we saw heaps of wildlife including a leopard and bear. We loved our stay and highly recommended it.

Beautiful location, close to two of the lakes. We had a lovely stroll in the afternoon and early evening to go watch the fruit bats and birds. A/C worked well. Very friendly hosts. The guesthouse is cheap compared to others in the area; dinner was also cheap.

The location on the lake is fantastic. Lovely pool surrounded by big banyan and peepal trees. Very peaceful. The room is big and very clean with great lake view. We also enjoyed a superb massage in the spa after the safari. We arranged the safari directly with the park, and the driver came to pick us up at 5am and drop us back at 10 for no extra cost. Don't miss visiting the big buddhist stupa nearby.

Very good place to stay. We came here from Arugambe. They arranged a taxi for us to come for a very cheap price. We looked for a taxi from Arugamba and they asked us a huge amount. After we mentioned it to the hotel, they provided us with a very comfortable vehicle for a reasonable price. Very good people are here. They provide better service than money. We had dinner here and it was very tasty. The rooms were very clean. They also arranged a great safari for us. We saw many animals. We were really happy.

It was a great location In front of Thissa Lake. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We just spent only one night. It was really comfortable. Budget air conditioned lager rooms available. It was very clean and well maintained. I will definitely choose this place again. In the morning the sun was amazing with a lake view. They have a restaurant and a well balanced menu including kids items also. Highly recommend this place
