We can a 100% recommend this resort for everybody. Stayed here 2 days and the personal does absolutely everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The food they serve is really tasty and there is a evening buffet that you certainly will enjoy. You can have a nice walk to create your own mini-safari. The owner, Roshan, is a really nice guy and helped us with everything. Booked an amazing safari as well with a driver who new the animals and their patterns very good allowing us to see them all. Nothing but praises.

We loved our two nights stay at the Ceylon Resort in Wilpattu. Roshan communicated a lot with us before our stay, helping us to organise a driver for pick up from the airport, as well as a full day safari in the national park. He even offered to drive us himself to our next destination, with a few hours stop in Anuradhaphura where he organised a guide and tuktuk to take us around. The room was clean and comfortable and the host and his family are very sweet, making sure all the needs of the guests are met. The food prepared by his wife is very tasty and they were accommodating all of my many food allergies, which I appreciate a lot. We absolutely recommend staying at Ceylon Resort!

Still under construction but did not affect our stay. Great location as it is only 10 mins to the national park entrance. But it is a fair way from anything else. We had the plunge pool room and it was perfect. Clean, comfy beds and spacious! Staff were helpful.

Close proximity to Wilpattu National Park. The Glamping style accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable, with true safari feel to it. Great food and great service. The in-house safari organisation was seamless.

Getting to Ceylon Wilpattu safaris & lodging feels like entering the forest: the road is a bit narrow and bumpy, but when you get to the entrance you discover a very well-kept garden and very pleasant facilities. The warm welcome from Roshan, his wife and the staff was truly pleasant: they supported our requests promptly and kindly. We had dinner at the property, hosted in a cool veranda. The food had been adapted to Western tastes but always maintaining the typical flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine: excellent dinner. Breakfast was also rich and pleasant. The rooms are in bungalows in which rest is ensured by spotty clean and reasonably spacious rooms, immersed in a very quiet and pleasant place. Complimentary water bottles are also available in the fridge in the room. This property is highly recommended.

Wow, what a little gem this place is. Highly recommend letting the Wildhideaway team look after you while you visit Wilpattu National Park. The suite was very spacious even for a family of 4. The bathroom was huge and modern with a nice hot water shower. The plunge pool was delightful, so refreshing. Location was so quiet and the air conditioner worked perfectly so made for very comfortable sleep. They arranged our full day safari at a good price, we didn’t need to do anything but turn up. They packed breakfast and lunch for us and then had dinner ready when we came home! The thing that made this place so special was the warm and friendly service from Anta and his team. Always there with a huge smile, making us feel so welcome, and the food they made for us (as vegetarians) was SO delicious, the best we’ve had in 3 weeks in Sri Lanka.

Beautiful location looking out on to rice fields, great bungalows with terrace, absolutely everything ran smoothly for a fabulous safari at Wilpattu, all arranged by our hosts. We set off at dawn, in an open top keep that picked us up, fully laden with snacks & meals for the day. Only minutes from the entrance to the park, we were one of the first jeeps in and saw everything including leopards and sloth bear. In the evening we sat with other families and discussed our wonderful day.

Superb location and facilities, the staff were super accommodating, they even made us bespoke food because one of us has an allergy to many foods… the whole day safari definitely recommended. The guide was knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us to spot a leopard… which sadly was elusive but overall a great experience

Great location next to Wilpattu National Park. The room was spacious, very clean, and the evening meal was excellent.. Dylan, the owner, is very friendly and arranged a full day safari for us, providing take-away breakfast and lunch, binoculars, and even a zoom lense for our phone. Our jeep driver was very experienced and knew where to spot leopards, bears, etc. Highly recommended.

Green Sapphire is in a great location on the access road to Wilpattu. There are lots of little shops selling snacks and things along that road too. It is not isolated. It is easy to find, on a good, sealed road. The place is kept immaculately clean. Dylan (the main host) is very responsive and helpful and will sort out whatever you need. He also provided plenty of food as well as binoculars, a tripod and a lens for mobile phone cameras Aircon was good and needed
