Great Place to Stay
Perfect location. Walking distance to town, the temples and the lake. Restaurant offered a variety of food choices and the dishes we had were excellent. Amazing pool, outdoor space. Super helpful/friendly staff. Internet very good in room.

An amazing place to stay! Rooms are comfortable and clean with great facilities including a delicious food at their restaurant and a relaxing pool. The staff set up a great full day safari for us with meals included. Everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Selected as convenient over night stay close to Yala Park. First impression was well kept bright welcoming property. Staff great. Rooms cool large and well maintained. Pool a bonus...and small gym! Breakfast substantial and delish. Definitely recommend for Yala safari visit.

Great stay near Tissamaharama
I love this place and could have stayed longer. A clean swimming pool. A restaurant on site and we could eat any time. Staff were very accommodating. There was also a free jeep tour (offer tips) of the local area where I saw monkeys. Wonderful!

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel. Nice and clean and upgraded us to the treehouse. Bed was really comfortable and we had both a/c and a fan. Very accommodating and made sure we were booked for a great safari tour. Nice restaurant on site. Went over and above providing take away breakfast for the tour and breakfast at the hotel that accommodated my food intolerance. Highly recommend.

Lovely hotel on the river
Already planning our next stay here. Lovely hotel right on the river. Friendly helpful staff who couldn't do enough for you. Good menu at night & good breakfast. Way too much food. Area around is so quiet & peaceful.

Major construction
Overall it was ok.. good design. Newest rooms. My problem that haven't disclosed that they are under construction. Try to relax at the pool when workers are putting tiles 5 miters from you and stare at you all the time.

Good place, a bit isolated
This is a great place, with a great staff. The pool was just being finished when we stayed here. It will help because it is a bit removed from restaurants and the town in general. If there for a safari to Yala, they will arrange that for you (at a slightly higher price than in town)

Sehr neu und sauber, tolles Management
Wir suchten eine Unzerkunft in Tissamaharama, um am nächsten Tag auf Safari zu gehen. Das Hotel River Front liegt zwar etwas abseits der Stadt, aber das ist völlig egal, da das Zentrum von Tissamaharama ohnehin nicht sehenswert ist und es dort auch keine empfehlenswerten Restaurants gibt. Die Managerin machte alles möglich. Wir bekamen am nächsten Tag ein Breakfast- Pack morgens um 4:30 Uhr gebracht und konnten so die Safari starten. Das Haus ist wohl neu und dazu sehr gut gepflegt. Es ist die Managerin und ihre Mitarbeiter, die alles hervorragend im Griff haben: Immer liebenswert, immer freundlich und serviceorientiert. Das Frühstück und auch die übrigen angebotenen Mahlzeiten sind hervorragend. Wir würden immer wieder hierher kommen.

Perfekt för en natt med safari!
Rent och fint hotell, passar bra för att kombinera med safari i yala. Tyvärr är maten inte så bra här och det finns inget i närheten heller.

Good location for safari
The reason for coming to this area was to visit Yalla national park. The hotel organised an excellent half day safari for us with a really good, knowledgeable guide. This was really helpful as there were so many touts offering trips it could have been a nightmare. The accommodation was adequate, the staff friendly and helpful. All in all it provided good value for money.

Magnifique petit hôtel presque familial, récent et bien entretenu. Le jardin à l'arrière est très agréable. L'accueil par la jeune Manager est excellent et tout le personnel est charmant et se plie en quatre pour nous faire plaisir. Chambre grande, très propre, arrangée avec goût. Lit ultra confortable. Je recommande très fortement cet hôtel.

10/10 Exceptional

A modern hotel with a traditional touch.
Just minutes off the main road, you enter through an impressive gateway and see in front of you an almost fairytale structure, set in a tropical garden. Large rooms with cold drinks always available. FYI however, I suspect that it's a little walk to town or anywhere else if you don't have a car.

Bekvämt och rent
Mycket bra hotell, trevlig personal det var ett familjehotellet med 10 rum och väldigt hög standard. De serverade god mat i sin restaurang. Fixade med utflykt till Yala och taxi service.

Oasis in the Jungle!
Amazing property run by a very nice Family. Service superb. Breakfast nice. We were there during the Poas(Full Moon) and the family kindly invited us to the Big Buddha Temple in the evening which was very special! Thank you Again Family!

we enjoyed our stay. too bad there wasn't one vegetarian meal option available in the restaurant. besides that we had to wait very long (more than 90minutes) for a simple lunch meal. very clean rooms, friendly staff.

Perfecto para noche antes de safari Yala
Teniamos reserva en este hotel, pero finalmente nos pasaron al Elephant Eye que está enfrente. Acaba de inaugurar y nos dijeron q es de la misma cadena. Es superior: habs grandes, piscina y buen restaurante (cenamos buen pescado). Visitamos el River Front y nos llamó la atención la casa en árbol. Tiene muy buena pinta. Vistas a río y arboleda, pero muchos mosquitos (repelente a tope). Además organizan safaris a Yala en jeep propio de calidad a buen precio: $40/persona con entradas a Parque incluidas. Te preparan pack desayuno para llevar si madrugas para Safari (5am). Está alejado de Tissa pero es una opción muy buena en calidad/precio
