Wonderful stay
Lee, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay at Jetwing From the start the staff were friendly and welcoming. Easy check in and shown to our beach view room. Room was very clean and spacious. Large shower room and deck area were great. Extensive food options avaialble and all that we had were very tasty. Other facilities like pool and gym appeared inviting, although we only had 2 nights and so were unable to make use, as we had trips planned. Had a great stay and would recommend.
Andrew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is spacious and very clean. The buffet was ok but not worth the price. We found great food at the a la carte restaurant fir half the price. The pool is excellent for lap swimmers. At night occasionally elephants come to the pool and other animals. Lots and lots of monkeys but they did not bother us at all.
Thomas, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Fantastic place to stay

It’s a wonderful hotel set in an amazing location. The beach and pool were great, my massage was fantastic. The location next to the National Park is just another plus.

Overall pleasent stay but room not fully clean

Had a very nice stay and was pleased overall. However room was dusty and needed a good clean. Various bits of the place beed a good tidy up. Not sure its 5* now. It definitely was when it opened 10 years ago

Wow!!! One of the best hotels ever. Staff are so friendly, kind and attentive. The food is out of this world. The chef at Jetwing Yala is such a wonderful person. My family are all in agreement- this is the best hotel.

Exceptional staff who go the extra mile. Exceptional food, facilities, and cleanliness. Very handy if you are planning a safari in Yala National Park.

Wonderful staff! Very helpful and courteous. Awesome location and property.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were lovely and extremely helpful. The food is very good with an extensive breakfast buffet, cooked by very friendly chefs to order. They will pack up a picnic if you’re going into the Park early. The swimming pool is desperately in need of repair as there are many missing tiles and the flagstones around it wobble when walked on.
Susan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was comfortable, however the bathrooms were not air conditioned as they were open to the air, which made them quite hot during the day. Food selection was reasonable and the chef was nice and very careful to accommodate my spouse’s dietary restrictions (food allergy). Staff was professional and very nice, which was our experience across all resorts in Sri Lanka. Amazing service by super nice people!
Roshan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

El hotel necesita algo más de mantenimiento . Nos pusieron en la habitación más alejada del hall, lo que hacía un poco incómodo moverse por el hotel . Perfecto para visitar el Parque de Yala .
Laura, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall good with so much potential

The place is so lovely with a very nice pool and beach access. So much potential and so near the safari. However, I had some mishaps which might be isolated to me. The porters accidentally broke my Samsonite luggage handle, no towels in the room and called for ice twice but wasn't sent. Other than these, I would recommend them highly. Oh yes, toilet smelt slightly mouldy.

Pleasantly surprised - Wonderful hotel

Pleasantly surprised to have this experience at a Hotel that is situated 10 minutes away from a Wildlife park. The hotel is in very good condition, large rooms with modern amenities and spacious washrooms (Loved the waterfall pipe). Food quality was amazing and we got all the usuals for a hearty breakfast. The beach is lovely, the pool is well maintained and the staff are immaculate. Gym and Spa are well maintained. Lots of activities for kids. The Turtle hatchery they've got on the beach was a definite plus to our experience. And all the wildlife, very safe, but so much to see.
Shakir, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Incredible Experience

Truly one of the best days of my life was at this hotel. The location and views are a dream and the buffet breakfast was one of the best meals I had in Sri Lanka. I spent the day at the pool, in the spa, drinking a mojito on the beach front, and enjoying the views. They helped me arrange a safari to Yala which was wonderful. A must stay on any trip to Sri Lanka! The only downside was the dirt road leading to the hotel is in really banged up condition so was a bit hard on the car that dropped me off, but I was told the hotel is on a national park land so it can't be paved. So not really their fault.
