Staying at Blue Turtle offered a peaceful escape near Yala, with a large pool perfect for relaxation after our safari. The family-friendly atmosphere, complemented by Cactus the hotel dog, added warmth to our experience. Just a minor note on room updates could enhance the charm.

This place suits me perfectly and provides everything I need, like good wi-fi, a restaurant, a lovely bar area, and an infinity pool. The staff even helped me return my forgotten earphones, which I remember fondly. I highly recommend trying the delicious dishes in the restaurant! I'm coming back for a weekend.

The wooden decor exudes a warm charm and tranquility, perfect for peaceful evenings after a day of activities. The gardens, filled with greenery and playful wildlife, create a delightful escape right outside the door.
An additional ramp for easier access would help.

The friendly and attentive staff made the experience truly enjoyable, particularly the personal touch from the owner, who shared the hotel's history with us. The spacious room had effective air conditioning and a lovely balcony view overlooking the pool, perfect for relaxing after a day of safari. Dining was a highlight, especially the delicious burgers, although prices for meals were slightly steeper than local options.

Relaxing Oasis Post-Safari
I enjoyed my stay for two nights in a Double or Twin Room with Balcony, where the clean and spacious accommodation exceeded my expectations. The highlight was the fantastic, large pool that provided a refreshing escape after our safari tours. The staff organized wonderful trips to Yala National Park, and I had a lovely breakfast with a choice of both Sri Lankan and Western dishes.

The large, refreshing pool is a standout feature, perfect for cooling off after a hot day of safari exploration. The spacious rooms come with private balconies, allowing for serene views of the surrounding green space, ideal for unwinding.
The rooms feel dated with older TVs and worn curtains that could use a modern touch to enhance the overall feel. The safari experience arranged through the hotel left much to be desired, with an uncomfortable old jeep lacking proper safety features. Feedback on our safari was met with a dismissive attitude, which didn't sit right. While the hotel has its charm, a little more communication and attention to detail could elevate the experience significantly.
