Seemed the best hotel in the area. Room big with a terrace leading to the very attractive large pool with the lake and a tree house to climb. Monkeys about who were fun to watch. Breakfast more to Asian tastes than mine but French toast, potato’s, fruit and breads available.It was very quiet during our stay with more staff than guests! Good choice for Yala but recommend the wild edge restaurant opposite in the evening for a drink.

L'établissement est très joli, au calme, au bord d'un grand lac avec des singes et des oiseaux. Grande chambre propre avec un frigo et le nécessaire à thé/café, mais quelque peu impersonnelle, sans décoration. La salle de bain mériterait un petit rafraîchissement. Le personnel n'est pas très communiquant. La salle de restauration mériterait d'être refaite car avec son plafond si haut, tout résonne, même quand il y a très peu de monde. La piscine est agréable et propre, avec un grand bassin, mais il faut systématiquement demander des serviettes, et aucun coussin sur les transats en bois. Nous avons passé 3 soirées et le bar qui semble agréable avec son billard, était tout le temps fermé.

Excelente opción en Kataragama

Cuando llegas a este hotel ya te das cuenta que va a ser mejor que en las fotos y asi es! Las instalaciones son muy amplias, limpias y cuidadas. La piscina es enorme y increíblemente limpia, tiene una parte para niños pequeños. Las vistas desde las tumbonas son maravillosas asi como el cuidado jardín lleno de arboles con la flor areliya. Todo el personal es muy atento y cariñoso y siempre estan dispuestos a ayudarte. Me picó un insecto en el pie y Dammi estuvo conmigo poniéndome un remedio para curarlo. Personal de limpieza y hasta el chef estuvieron preocupados por mi pie. Maravillosos todos! La habitación triple es enorme, gran terraza con sillas y mesa. Tiene aire acondicionado y ventilador. Nos prepararon una decoración preciosa con toallas y flores encima de la cama. Increible. El chico que trae la comida del Room Service es muy profesional. Hay secador de pelo y productos de gel shampoo etc. el restaurante esta muy bien. El buffet del desayuno es variado y esta rico. En cuanto a situación, puedes llegar caminando al centro en unos 25 min pero un tuktuk es lo mejor. El ultimo dia el director del hotel salió a despedirnos, fue realmente amable! Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa. Es un hotel grande pero la acogida ha sido como si estuvieras en tu casa. Es muy recomendable. Gracias!

Broken online booking system caused an headache

We wanted to try out this hotel based on the good reviews it had. We did the reservation on hotels.com and received a confirmation from hotels.com. When we arrived at the hotel the front desk staff informed us that there is no such reservation. We were stuck outside the lobby for almost 2 hours with our 2 year old daughter. It was very frustrating. After sometime the hotel front desk person informed us that the online booking system was managed by a 3rd party company and we have to speak to the 3rd party who handle the online bookings to sought this out, since it was the online booking companies responsibility for not passing the booking to the hotel. It was extremely disappointing to hear that, as it's not our concern to know who handle what. And then they were trying to find a different hotel, which we did not want. After about 2 hours waiting in the lobby the resident manager came and informed us that they will provide us a room and things will be taken care of. We appreciate the effort put by the resident manager to take care of the situation. We recommend anyone doing an online booking with Tamarind Lake to call the confirm the booking as there online booking system is completely broken, as the hotel does not know when a guest make reservations online. We appreciate the effort put by the resident manager to settle the issue, hotel has to take responsibility for these incidents as a customer it's irrelevant for the customer to know who handles which part of the business.
