Jetwing Yala

A calm and tranquil retreat in the middle of the National Park . Warm welcome, professional and speedy check in. Exceptional service at reception with all requests and requirements met with a smile. Our room was clean, large and incredibly comfortable with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The pool here is worth spending a full day to unwind after an early Safari start to the day. Loved the swim up bar. The food was also exceptional with a huge choice both at breakfast and dinner - super high standard, great cocktails at the bar too! Overall a wonderful stay - we would come again

Excellent base for safari as it’s 15-20mins to the entrance, which means you can do morning or afternoon easily. Buffets usually avoided when we go on holiday but this one was good and freshly cooked seafood and meat on outside stations. Views from the bar, magnificent. Only concern was the decorative fish pools at the end block looked like the filtration was broken and was quite polluted. Please address as a matter of urgency. I chose this hotel for the convenience to safari location over the more boutique stays I chose elsewhere. I wasn’t expecting a lot and knew it would be a big sprawling international style hotel - it was all these things but the difference is - location is superb, views outstanding, staff very friendly & helpful and food far better than expected.

What an incredible hotel, our favourite for our entire stay in Sri Lanka. The hotel itself is stunning with views of the wilderness and the sea. The pool area is incredible, it's huge and surrounded by trees where you often get monkeys at certain times of the day (they keep themselves to themselves but great to watch), loved the pool bar and barmen too. The rooms are excellent, very spacious with a comfy bed and a pretty cool bathroom. Both restaurants are great - We loved the Sri Lankan. The hotel also arranged safari's for us which was easy to do and was an amazing experience.

We arrived on a weekend and the hotel was buzzing hence even thou we requested earlier for connecting rooms and arrived after 2pm our rooms were not ready and we had to wait for 45mins in the lobby for two connecting rooms. Overall we enjoyed our stay after we finally got our rooms. The hotel was very close to Yala National Park so that was convenient to say the least. Breakfast was up to Jetwing standard. Pool was great as was the surprise birthday cake for our 6 year old.

The hotel was stunning and the food was excellent. Our room was very spacious for a hotel room and the bed was super comfy. The staff were excellent and friendly, they helped us to organise a safari and transfer to our next hotel. The pool was one of the biggest hotel pools I have experienced and the swim up bar had great food and snack options.
