Arana Yala

While I was a very, very late and unexpected booking (I only booked 15 minutes before arriving at the property), the staff jumped into action upon my arrival. After cranking up the generator (Sri Lanka was suffering from enforced power cuts), my air-conditioned room was offered up in a matter of minutes. This was indicative of my stay with staff being friendly, responsive and eager to please (they also organised an all-day private safari at Yala National Park for me). My room was spacious, and my breakfasts and dinners were tasty and filling.

The pool was lovely!

This was a nicely designed hotel, with spacious rooms. Conveniently located for Yala safari pickups. There was even a peacock to greet us every morning outside our balcony!

Nice hotel, nice help of the staff with arranging safaris and other things
