Hilton Yala Resort

Everything was excellent, from the facilities to the restaurant. The pool water also seemed to be properly filtered, and none of us—including the children—had any stomach issues. The Ayurvedic spa massage was also excellent. We had a wonderful experience with both the beach walk and the safari tour. We were lucky enough to see elephants, though the leopard didn’t make an appearance. Even so, we truly appreciated how the ranger kept searching deep into the park until the very end. The dishes prepared by the head chef, who kindly came to greet us at our table on the first night, were absolutely delicious! For breakfast, I had GM Sri Lanka every single day. It’s a hotel I would definitely love to visit again. Thank you so much! The clean-up activity in the national park was also a really enjoyable experience.

The Hilton Yala is probably the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The facilities are exceptional and they are accompanied by hyper professional but warm and friendly staff that only enhance the stay. Anything you can think of the Hilton Yala has it, even down to the personalised buggy trips from the main complex to you room. My partner has a peanut allergy and the head chef made us feel super comfortable eating his exceptional food. The Safari was amazing. We saw a leopard, elephants, water buffalo and crocs to name a few. The experience was buoyed by the expert knowledge of the ranger. Although this hotel maybe expensive, I can promise you, once you arrive you will realise it is amazing value for money. We even extended our stay!

The hotel was very well designed and the amenities were excellent. Specific call out to the main restaurant where we had great service from the staff & chef (Jerome) and delicious meals catered to our taste. Being in the forest, it was a lovely experience to walk around the compound and wake up to the sight of animals within the vicinity (e.g. monkeys or squirrels in the morning). Would highly recommend this resort for visitors looking to do a safari at Yala National Park.

The Hilton Yala was a very unique state of the art property in the middle of a National Park! The hotel grounds, pool, architecture, and overall layout were stunning and something we haven’t experienced before. However what made this one of the most memorable experience for us is the amazing and ever smiling staff right from the reception, kitchen, and room service staff. Their executive chef was always there smiling and greeting the guests which made this super special!

I booked this stay for my parents, in celebration for my dad’s birthday. I was able to arrange everything with the help of amazing staff at Hilton. My parents really loved their time there, and asked that I specifically mention how great everyone and everything was. From the general manager of the hotel to all the staff, they are exceptionally kind and go the extra mile to make their guests stay memorable. Thank you.
