Jetwing Yala

Rooms and property well maintained.

Large spacious room. Lovely staff. Good dining area. Big swimming pool

Great rooms, staff very friendly. Food was very good. Only thing to note is the horrendous drive up to the hotel! Very bumpy unmade road, very hard in a coach/minibus

Fantastic hotel perfect for safari

The staff was excellent and very accommodating. Rooms are good, the bathroom was little dated …. Not enough lighting

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.

Clean, beautiful room, staff and amenities l. It’s so peaceful here

This property is first class, with the beach and a very large pool. Buffet for dinner and breakfast, is as good as anywhere, with Asian and western choices.

the property was beautiful, rooms were clean and staff very friendly. we were lucky enough to see an elephant walk through the resort. the resort organised our safari to Yala and its a great experience the driver/guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience. we also did the dune dining experience which was magical and the team made it so special. would recommend this resort and would come back here again

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

The hotel is very tired and feels dated, it could do with renovation, painting etc. Good buffet for dinner, great location for Yala safari. Staff are super friendly and accommodating

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

Had a wonderful stay at Jetwing Yala! The reception staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming, making check-in smooth and pleasant. The evening food offerings were generous and delicious, with plenty of variety. Rooms very clean & spacious. A great experience overall — highly recommended!

Well made resort and warm feeling.

Un hôtel magnifique dans un endroit magnifique . Coup de cœur pour la chambre et le lobby bar. Grande et longue piscine avec bar . Bel aménagement. À côté du safari Yala.

到着時から出発時までとても親切フレンドリーに対応していただき大変満足です。 部屋もアップグレードしていただき、とても素敵な部屋で大満足です。 夕食、朝食とも大大満足です。 朝食の時象が遊びに来てくれて感激しました。 また、訪れたいです。

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.

The location was excellent being near the Yalanational park , but I did not like the appearance nor the rooms of the property. The charge was high for such a basic type of property
