Thaulle Ayurveda Resort - Yala

Beautiful view of the lake and some of the tastiest food we ate in Sri Lanka. The staff were very helpful. The down side, the hotel was a bit too concrete block looking for us and the wifi did not work for the 4 of us. The hotel staff did try to help but said it was working for them so they could not understand why it would not work for us. This would not have normally been a problem but we needed to check in for a flight and so caused a few issues.

This place was so refreshing. More of a boutique hotel. My room had a view of Yoda lake. Slippers and bathrobes. Huge bathroom. Good water pressure and temperature in the shower. Evening buffet dinner was limited (compared to other hotels) but really good quality food. Dining tables available inside and outside on their grounds which were well maintained. It was a nice surprise to have breakfast brought to the table. Got a menu to choose from a continental, American or local breakfast. Table was beautifully decorated with petals and a view of the lake. The American consisted of a plate of fruit, sap juice, green tea, a bread basket with homemade jams - mango, rose wood and apple wood - all delicious. Followed by 2 pouched eggs, hash browns, sausages, tomato and cheese. I was very pleased. Check in and out was easy, no waiting. Staff were lovely.

This hotel has no children policy but they were so lovely that they accepted our reservation with our two daughters of 10 years. Thanks to Shawn he had arranged a beautiful room for us four with very nice view of the lake. We spent 4 days there invluding our new year’s eve with amazing food and very nice entertainment. Breakfast was amazing and with excellent variety. They have 2 pools one at the hotel and the other one next to the beach with 10 minutes drive. The resort has even the Aruvedya treatments for thosr who are interested. Very recommended for the stay at Tissamaharama.
