Jetwing Yala

view from hotel lobby is great, reaching the ocean. rooms are well equipped. very environmental hotel. Toilet is big, a bit too big. compare to rest of the room, toilet can be cleaner.

Good Hotel in Jungle

Price is considerably higher but its totally worth. Staff is super friendly even for locals. Buffet has a massive collection and variety.

Jetwing Yala with its swing seats overlooking the sea and set on the edge of the Yala National Park is indeed a getaway. The whole trip though only a weekend worth was just enough to go back to Colombo rejuvenated and well fed. The breakfast covers the whole range and is quite exciting to be having your cup of coffee and glass of chilled sweet king coconut on a deck overlooking the jungle with superb service. The safari ride which of course stands as the highlight of the trip is pure FUN! Book your own safari jeep, equipped with two chilled glass bottles of water (courtesy of the eco-friendly Jetwing Yala) and we were off. Our driver was an expert driver maneuvering through the difficult terrain and having his eyes peeled for elephants, wild boar, deer, peacocks and to our delight a leopard. Overall, worth the money and worth the 5 hour drive.

Beautiful location on the beach and next door to Yala NP. Staff were extremely helpful and food excellent.

Amazing food (we couldnt get enough of the honey hoppa at breakfast), attentive and friendly staff, terrific environmental and wildlife-friendly initiatives throughout the resort and lovely, lovely pool. We didn't want to leave.

The staff is kind and welcoming! Our room was just lovely! We enjoyed a fabulous massage while we were there and the staff went above and beyond for my significant other’s birthday! I would highly recommend staying here and would happily stay here again.

We enjoyed the hotel and everything it had to offer, i.e. amazing pool & pool bar, wonderful and spacious room with a huge balcony, access to a private beach, yummy breakfast, monkeys and wild pigs roaming around. I also highly recommend a half a day safari tour (a full day is a bit of an overkill, in my opinion) so that you get to enjoy the hotel facilities for the rest of that day :) Enjoy!

Excellent hotel, excellent service , excellent design! No complaints at all! Highly recommended!

Amazing beach front with the Indian Ocean beckoning you to come..

Everything was just perfect - the food, the pool, the room, the staff Highly recommended

location is beautiful.. good and confortable stay. good breakfast spread. friendly staff

Well appointed hotel, pretty isolated, but great pool with resident wildlife and good beach for body surfing. Food OK. 15 mins drive to Yala game park

Nice room. Beautiful pool and beach. We were there when waves were big. Very impressive. Staff was ok. Charged us the buffet price for a boxed breakfast (one egg, some fried potatoes and fruit). So if you are going on safari, make sure you get back before 10:30 am or don't book the room with breakfast. Grounds are unique because wild animals - monkeys boar and buffalo can be seen from room.

Decent facilities (nice pool, rather poor gym, very simple spa centre) but staff either not uninterested (front desk) or overly pushy (F&B staff). Food is just okay compared to other large resorts of similar price & size in the country, wines are poor (but true for many other places). Breakfast buffet of low standard.

Preferred the main restaurant as the fusion restaurant lacked atmosphere and a lot of choices were not available

The location is great and the hotel Organises take away breakfasts if you are leaving very early for the safari. The staff is very nice but service is generally slow. But it's a lovely property overall.

Loved this hotel, quite modern feel with beautiful pool and big wide sand dune beaches. Great restaurants and perfectly location for Yala safari as is one of the closest hotels

Check-in was smooth, with welcoming drink and cool towels. The atmosphere was very relaxing and food was generally good. In any case, there was no other choice nearby but to eat at the hotel due to its isolation from the rest of the world. Called Room Service to get missing face and hand towels twice but they were not delivered as promised on phone. Eventually, got the towels through the passing-by room cleaner on corridor after a few hours. This was annoying. Worse still was the carelessness of the porter at lobby. An unknown luggage was put on our car by the porter without us noticing because we were in a group and we only ensured that our own individual luggages were loaded on the car. While travelling after sometime, someone asked about the identity of that strange luggage, and none of us claimed it. Thus we had to drive back to the hotel and returned it to the porter in case its owner went panic. It wasted our time and no apology was given by the porter. For a feel to stay overnight at the National Park, it is worthwhile to stay for a night or two at the hotel.

Want to enjoy Yala then there is no other place bettter. For the total safari experience and then all the luxury when you rerurn from a safari drive. Great staff with friendly management led from the top who are always seen speaking to the guest. Any special request for food the cheff will accomodate and do their best. A place not to be missed if one is traveling to that part of the country. I wish i could give it 6stars!!
