We really enjoyed our 2 night stay, rooms were spacious and nicely appointed. We enjoyed the pool and the safaris organized by the lodge, who supplies rangers in addition to drivers in the safari vehicles. We opted to add an optional safari to increase our chances of seeing the elephants and leopards. Excellent staff, Sasha was very helpful, Venura in the restaurant was great and so was our Ranger Amida.

12/10!!!
This hotel is the best I have ever stayed in…a real gem!! It accepts that we are guests in the animals land, yet somehow finds extremely tasteful luxury without disturbing nature. Rohan our host greeted us with a smile and was always on hand with anything we needed. Vihanga in the restaurant was great fun, had great recommendations and always remembered our regular orders. Darshana our ranger feels like a true friend. He is a library of knowledge, has passion for the animals as though each sighting is his first and had some great stories. He teamed with Yasanka our driver who was incredibly talented at both driving and animal spotting. Overall the service from arrival to departure was second to none! I always say how you leave a hotel says everything about it, and we left with heavy hearts, but also a free gift and discount voucher for a return, which we will 100% be using! Thank you all at Wild Coast Lodges for your exceptional service and dedication. DO NOT STAY IN ANY OTHER HOTEL IN YALA!

Perfection! Amazing location, amazing staff, amazing room, amazing food. Truly could not have been better. Everyone is so kind. Aishira, Sithija and Dilukshi in the dining room were extraordinary.
