Greeted with a cold scented face towel and a beautiful flower. Service continued to be excellent all the way through. Food was delicious with grilled to order fish at dinner, omelets at breakfast and extensive buffet dishes. Good, flavourful vegetarian options. Many desserts. Nice pool and grounds. Beautiful lake view. Room was clean, great view, very comfortable, nice linens and toiletries. Arranged safari excursion with zero notice. Perfect English spoken. Recommended.

We were given their so called best room right near the lake. Very large room with its own dining table. But it was just a bit tatty. Need to fix the blinds, no mat outside on the poolside so you drag mud into the room. The pool is outstanding. Looking on to the lake with amazing bird life. The dining was terrible. Half the air conditioners did not work in the dining room. Choice of food was very second rate. Salads were warm. Not sure what Indian visitors do as the curries were just horrible. Breakfast was also very ordinary with little choice.

Great value for money hotel that sits close by to Yala, facing the Tissa lake. Rooms are clean and comfy and all of them have a view of the lake. The food was alright, given their prices. There is a nice pool if one wants to take a dip in and also other activities such as Yala safari and boat rides can be arranged by speaking with the front desk. All in all it is one of the best places in Tissamaharama where you can enjoy a nice stay without burning a hole in your wallet!

This used to be under different name (Thissa Rest) and now under a new management. Overall experience was great. The rooms and mattresses pillows are 5* standards but I feel they need to maintain the shower cubicles properly since it leaks water in to other areas when you have a shower. Which to me very annoying. Also you can order seaplane from this location for faster travel mode if required. Food was great and the restaurant staff is supper friendly and very attentive. Ample parking available and under security as well.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a wonderful stay at EKHO Safari Tissa. Overall, my experience was fantastic, with the exception of the pool area. The hotel exceeded my expectations in every aspect, from the exceptional services to the comfortable accommodations. I found everything to be well-organized and up to par with what I had hoped for. However, I must admit that I was disappointed with the pool. The water wasn't as clean as I had anticipated, and I even noticed a mask floating on the water during my visit. Additionally, the water color appeared a bit dull, which further contributed to my dissatisfaction with the pool facilities. Despite this minor setback, I believe that EKHO Safari Tissa is a great option for anyone looking for a pleasant stay. The other services offered were truly superb and aligned with our expectations. The hotel's commitment to excellence in various areas makes it an attractive choice. In conclusion, I recommend EKHO Safari Tissa to anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay. While the pool may not have met my expectations, the overall experience more than makes up for it. I'm confident that your stay at EKHO Safari Tissa will be just as satisfying as mine.

Nice, but worn The hotel has everything you would need, but it is a bit worn. Our AC unit was leaking, and the paint job is a bit old. Furthermore, our room was not properly cleaned, as there was dust on top of most surfaces, including the night stand, tabletop, and the shelves in the bathroom. But the bedsheets were clean and so was the shower. While we were there we saw that they are working on updating the buildings 👍 Very nice pool area, we spent several days relaxing in the wind and sun by the pool, which was lovely. Beautiful view of the lake! 🌊 They have a restaurant, it is a bit more pricey than going out to eat, and the food takes a while, but it tastes great! Overall not a bad experience, but definitely not a luxury hotel
