I had such a lovely stay at the hotel, which offered beautifully decorated rooms and a gorgeous pool. The staff were incredibly attentive, and the food was excellent with special accommodations made for us when needed. The proximity to Yala National Park made it an ideal choice, but I wish the dining options could have included a bit more variety.

My experience at the hotel was disappointing due to the poor check-in process and lackluster customer service. While the food was tasty, the staff's attitude left much to be desired. The rooms were adequate, but I expected more from a resort spa. Overall, it felt disconnected from the level of service I have come to appreciate at similar establishments.

I had a wonderful two-night stay at this intimate resort during my vacation in Sri Lanka. The serene atmosphere and friendly service made it enjoyable. The rooms were spacious, with impressive views, but the hot water in the shower was somewhat lacking. Dining options for breakfast and lunch were delightful, though I missed the chance to try dinner. Overall, it was a relaxing base for exploration despite some minor issues.

I had a lovely short stay at Kithala hotel while exploring the nearby Yala National Park. The view from my room overlooking the paddy fields was simply breathtaking, and the staff provided an attentive and welcoming service. However, the bathrooms could use some improvement, particularly in terms of space, and I found the limited dining options a bit of a letdown. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with great potential.
