A beautiful hotel in a gorgeous quiet location with gardens and rooms overlooking the lake. This was our treat stay while travelling round Sri Lanka and it didn’t disappoint. We were upgraded to a superior double on the 2nd floor and it was luxurious, with huge glass doors leading to a spacious balcony. The furniture and fittings were attractive and good quality. Fantastic bathroom with endless hot water. our first in Sri Lanka! Swam once in the pool which is a very generous size, unfortunately the weather was often rainy so not too many opportunities. All the staff couldn’t do enough to help, the lovely girl in reception, waiters and cleaners. The eating areas are open sided with views of the lake and garden. The food itself was excellent, nice touch for the chef to come round to the tables and chat We did a Yalla safari and a very good packed breakfast was made for us Altogether, highly recommend this hotel. very good for birdwatching too, so many on the lake!

Nothing, it may be a little isolated for some, but that was part of its appeal for us. Tissa is a short tuktuk away

We have stayed at several hotels on our journey through Sri Lanka so far and this one tops them all! The team are the most genuine & hospitable we have come across. From the pre-arrival communication with the FO manager Shawn to the service, maintenance and houskeeping team, everyone has been incredible. Executive chef and other members of management visiting the tables at breakfast & dinner was a really nice touch! Great facilities and treatment area which unfortunately we did not have time to experience, small gift shop, lovely pool and certainly one of the best views of Yoda lake you will find. They offer different therapy packages which we were unaware of before arrival. The guests appear to naturally come together and share the experience which we really liked to see! Joining eachother in the restaurant, we almost thought they were one big family! Be sure to take a superior room with a large balcony looking out to the lake, you will not be disappointed. Thank you to all the team for such a memorable experience, we will be sure to spread the word and we will be back! Lloyd & Stef

We only spent one night at Thaulle Resort, as it is the perfect starting point for a safari at Yala National Park, but our stay was lovely. Staff welcomed us warmly and our room was spacious and beautifully designed, especially the bathroom. As we were in need of a few relaxing hours, we spent some time in the pool and garden by the lake. Dinner was delicious, especially the homemade coconut ice cream. We can also highly recommend the safari that was organised by the hotel. Our guide was very knowledgeable regarding the park and happily answered our many questions about the animals, especially elephants.

The Location Hotel was overlooking a lake. Staying there was a good experience

There was no option to have ala carte meal on New Year's Eve, so we had to go out for a meal. Which wasn't ideal but we had no choice. The reason was that there was a special dinner organised for 31st night. We found the beds to be far too low, I have a replacement knee and found it difficult getting up out of bed!

The location next to the lake was stunning, the resort is within 15 minutes of Yala national park so it was perfect for our safari. The staff were very helpful and friendly in helping booking with our activities and provided a packed breakfast for a safari which started early AM. We got a free room upgrade which was very much appreciated. the food was delicious, especially the Sri Lankan curry. The massage we had was incredible so definitely book this! overall staying at Thaulle Resort made our holiday experience in Sri Lanka a great one and we would highly recommended staying here. Shawn especially made us feel very welcome.

nothing!

They excel in customer service and are willing to go the extra mile to make your stay memorable. Everything about the property was perfect. One of the best stays we had in a long time. And yes don't miss their amazing breakfast. Special thanks to Shawn for making us feel at home every step of the way. We highly recommend the property.

Absolutely everything. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom was spacious and comfy. The view of the lake from the balcony spectacular. The food from the restaurant was delicious and well presented. The hotel is also close to 3 national parks. We loved the Thaulle Resort and left with heavy hearts. Will definitely stay there again.

Nothing

Wonderful resort, overlooking a fabulous lake full of water birds. If you like birds just get a guide to take you around the Tissa lakes. Good base for Bundala and Yala too. Large comfortable rooms with the most beautiful shower room I have seen. Friendly and professional staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Food is lovely, a lot of fruit and veg is organic straight from the hotel garden. If there’s nothing for you on the menu, the chef will make it. Great drinks menu and excellent coffee. It’s already a five star for me but the environmental factors, the commitment to reducing plastic(glass used for water jars for shower stuff), clearing the lake of rubbish makes it easily the best hotel in Sri Lanka.

We booked the room last minute, We got upgraded for a better room😍 The manager “Shawn” was really nice and helpful. Superb staffs and well trained. We had amazing time there. Will definitely go back! If u want to stay somewhere around Yala u shud book this place, worth all the money.

The place has such amazing view of the lake but also tons of mosquitoes, still worth it tho.

The greeting is very nice with clean towel and fresh drink. We received a room upgrade. All rooms have very nice lake view. Since it was our honeymoon, they prepared a wonderful fruit platter for us as a gift. Also, they prepared a romantic dinner table at a special place although we did not request such. Next morning we left the hotel at 5:00 am for safari, and our breakfast bags were already ready waiting for us at the reception. They also prepared breakfast for our driver. There was sandwich, cake, egg, bananas, water and fruit juice in the bag, which exceeded my expectation.

Although free driver accommodation is available, the hotel did not provide it to our driver, because we made our booking through Booking.com. Rather, they requested 2.000 rupee from the driver. But actually our driver suggested that hotel to us. So, if you have a driver, I suggest to make the reservation through phone (although it does not make sense if you are doing it overseas)
