We completely enjoyed our stay at blue Sky Hotel Yala. The Manager was extremely kind and fullfilled all kind of wishes. So, he arranged a perfect fullday Safari to Yala for us. His Brother is a really good wildlife Ranger and not only made us see leopards, elefants and many more but also managed that we often could enjoy the animals for ourself because he knew a lot of beautiful secret spots. Also, the Manager easily arranged a transfer to our next Stop. We definetaly recommend everybody to stay at Blue Sky Hotel!

I don’t have words to describe the beautiful Mailagama Cinnamon Residence. Staff was super friendly and really helpful. We joined the copper dinner and it was simply amazing, we had dinner in the garden surrounded by the rice field - speechless! The room was clean, hot water in the shower. They arranged a safari for us and gave us a doggy bag with breakfast. They also have an immense rice and spicy field and have us a tour around. Beautiful experience

Amit is a lovely host with a stunning home to match. We can’t fault the cleanliness and comfort of the room we stayed in, not to mention his generous and hospitable personality. Amit greeted us with welcome beverages and arranged a private tour to Yala park with a packed breakfast. We chose to stay with Amit as his home is within close proximity to the safari park. After our safari morning, Amit organised a taxi for us to transport onto our next location. We wish we could have stayed longer! We would strongly recommend staying with Amit :)
