A lovely little oasis just outside the national park. Really good food, friendly staff. They arranged a full day safari trip into Yala for us as well. Great to be able to relax by the pool after a long day searching for elephants and leopards (we saw several elephants but sadly no leopards this time!) While there's no wifi, the manager kindly let us hotspot off his phone when we needed to get online.

There’s nothing to not like about Wild Lotus, it was the absolute highlight of our trip and we are so glad we stayed for 2 nights! The home cooked food was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka and the room was so spacious, clean and tasteful. The Wild Lotus safari to Yala was amazing. Our driver was so knowledgable about all the animals and didn’t join in with the mad rush. The staff were so friendly and the facilities were great. One of our highlights was watching the sunset from the water tower with hundreds of beautiful birds and water buffalo! We can’t recommend Wild Lotus enough

We had a fantastic time at Gaga Bees. The bungalows are beautifully decorated, the food is tasty, there is a massage therapist available on site, and we loved the pool. We also booked a safari, where we saw leopards and sloth bears! However, what really made this place stand out for us, was the exceptional service! The people running Gaga Bees are very sweet, friendly and helpful - they went above and beyond! Keep in mind that it is (1) cash only and (2) it is an eco resort, meaning you will be hearing and perhaps also seeing animals and bugs. This was not a problem at all during our stay (never in our room), it was a really cool experience.

Staying here felt like luxury for us, everything seems to be brand new and with a clean and modern furniture. Room was huge, and we didn't expect to have a bath with nice hot water. The place is very peaceful surrounded by the forest, and just 15 minutes from kataragama temple complex, which is a must see during sunset time.. I really would have spent a week just here!
