Absolutely loved this hotel, wish we had more time here. Outstanding service, pleasant staff and fantastic surroundings. Our room overlooked the ocean and it was lovely to watch the monkeys bounding on the balcony and the properties. The bathroom had an open air concept and you could look at the stars while you shower. The hotel is built sympathetically to the surroundings. Good choices for breakfast and dinner buffets. Great base for Yala safari. Even with early starts you could request a packed breakfast. Pool area is lovely and we enjoyed drinks at the swim up bar. Cannot recommend this hotel enough.

What a beautiful hotel / resort. To our surprise the beach water is unsafe for swimming but the pool makes up for it and then some. Beautiful grounds, had an elephant at the reception on the first morning before leaving for our safari. The buffet has a huge selection, also à la carte possibilities. We did a couples spa package and that was also great and not ridiculously priced. The only sad thing and this is no reflection on the hotel is that if you are going to Yala to see leopards you odds or very slim. There are way too many jeeps that even if a leopard was spotted you would probably not see it.

Impressed with the quality of the buffet food. A lot of variety. Espresso machine was part of the breakfast buffet. Bathroom was impressive, large area and open, but covered with a roof. We loved it. No mosquitos seen, so a relief. Very happy with every aspect of service. Large, glass, water bottles in the room for drinking. Great location for the safari, very short drive away. Saw an elephant outside the room in the evening. Recommend the hotel and visit again on another visit.

Far from 5 star. An average 4 star hotel at best. Good location for Yala but thats it. Nice beach and great pool. Rooms are tired, dull, boring, dirty and the smell from the bathroom is very very unpleasant. Couldn't open the patio door due to tatty rug on floor. Air con dripped onto wall mounted tv and floor. Damp patches on walls. Not great. Food in restaurants good, but waited over an hour for food in fine dining when only two tables. Don't bother with the spa, awful experience. The therapists were as bored as I was with a lacklustre rub down. Industrial air con made sure we had no chance to relax. No great. Must be better places

We stayed at Jetwing Yala for three nights and had an amazing experience overall. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a stunning pool that’s perfect for cooling off in the heat. Even though Yala National Park was closed for the first couple of days, it was still lovely to relax around the hotel and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The location is incredible, right on the beach. You can even join an early morning walk with the lifeguard, which was such a nice touch. The staff throughout the hotel were genuinely lovely and always happy to help. One of the absolute highlights was the wildlife. A bull elephant visited the hotel twice during our stay once at night and once in the morning which was honestly the best experience ever. The naturalists were always present, making sure everyone was safe, answering questions, and sharing so much knowledge. We did a half-day guided safari organised by the hotel and would definitely recommend going with a guide. Even though we didn’t see a leopard, the naturalists and jeep drivers were so dedicated and made the experience amazing. We saw baby elephants, crocodiles, deer, and even a sloth bear. They even set off early so we were at the front of the queue entering the park. The food experience was mixed. For the first couple of nights breakfast and dinner were à la carte, and the dishes were exceptional. Later it changed to a buffet, which personally I don’t enjoy as much, as it feels a bit more rushed and less relaxed. Not sure why the

Outstanding hotel! Loved everything about it. We were visiting for 1 night to do the safari (which was also fab) but wished we stayed another night just to chillax!! Was nicely surprised that their dining prices were no more expensive (in fact cheaper in some cases) than other equivalent properties in Sri Lanka given the remoteness & no other options! Food & staff were great. Lovely pool. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful property. We loved our room, verandah and open air shower. The bar and buffet dining was excellent. Staff was extremely courteous and professional. During our stay there it rained and we had rooms furthest from the lobby area. Parts of the walk to our room were unprotected from the rain and the walkways were quite wet and slippery despite attempts by the staff to mop. Further protection from adverse weather conditions would be appreciated. Overall, loved our stay at this property and would highly recommend to others.
