Fantastic hotel for a Yala safari base
The Chaarya Resort and Spa is a gorgeous hotel set in a beautiful palm tree lined property. They have a very refreshing pool, a cool outdoor bar, pool table, games area, gym and spa facilities. The grounds are absolutely immaculate, they have multiple gardeners working the lawns all the time. The hotel consists of multiple 1 or 2 story buildings meaning that its private and quiet. The rooms are very clean and spacious. The whole hotel has very chill vibes with music playing throughout. You definitely feel very relaxed throughout the stay. The only improvement I can recommend is the food at the restaurant. They probably need more variety throughout the days. The food was average, not great. But the hotel is within walking distance to some fantastic local restaurants so it wasn't a problem. The value for money at this hotel is incredible.

Gateway to Yala
Chaarya is a wonderful resort. The pool was awesome, the rooms superb, and the evening buffet was one of the best buffets I have ever experienced for less than $15usd. Great spot for visiting Yala.

Hassles for my driver.
The room was fine except for the problem of flies in the room. I didn't appreciate the treatment my driver received. In Sri Lanka hotels offer free accommodation to drivers. This hotel at first refused to give my driver that service with the sorry excuse that I was a foreigner! What does that have to do with anything!? It was a lot of trouble to get the hotel to give us and my driver the same service they grant to Sri Lankans.

The rooms were very bad condition. Had lots of insects. The bedsheets were dirty. Towels were worn out. The double bed was made by combining the two single beds which had abig rough edge in the centre. Lots of mosquitoes. The manger on duty in the evening was dressed up not for work but as if going for stroll. Very unhelpful manager. Flies all around in the dining area and on food.

Lovely grounds, stylish rooms, great food!
Spacious, comfortable and clean room, nicely decorated. Large bathroom with a waterfall shower and a corner bath. Staff friendly. Plentiful buffet for breakfast and dinner, good selection of western and Sri Lankan dishes. Reasonably priced food and drink. Very nice pool. Less than 30 minute drive to Yala National Park.

Great hotel with big rooms
Wonderful massive room! The hotel organised our visit to Yala NP no problem. The only slight issue we found was that there was a wedding celebration being held there so there was very loud music until at least 1:30am! Luckily we were tired enough that we could sleep through it!

Skip the safari, skip the hotel and save yourself
Upon checking in and circling around, no staff person could tell us where the room was. Nice overall room size with balcony and bathroom but the shower leaks and lack of hot water, slight mildew smell and killed several mosquitos in the room with no mosquito netting for the bed. Found a colony of red ants at our door entrance next day, staff came to kill it with spray but left all the dead ants there. 2nd night found rat droppings in the room and on the bed specifically on the pillow. Disgusting. Safari to the Yala Nat'l Park was a joke which the hotel arranged the driver for us. They force you to rent a jeep because they dig tons of potholes in the road and the amount of jeeps in the park you are literally stuck in TRAFFIC most of the time with nothing to see. The driver couldn't drive the jeep and at the end tried to squeeze an extra 5000 rupees from us. Hotel should use a more reputable jeep service. Actually save yourself some grief and don't do the safari. The dining area was dirty and had flies constantly with limited food selections. Tuna was going bad hence being so fishy but they still served tuna to the customers. Lack of WiFi.

Good stay but need to improve the communications
The communication/awareness to be improved. I was at halfboard basis wchich included breakfast & lunch.There was no buffet but as per a menu ordered., But it was fine. The issue was they didn't specify in the lunch menu, what were included for half board basis and some items they billed seperatley at a high cost. Except that other things were ok.

Sehr schöne Anlage und Zimmer. Die Zwei Herren von der Bar machen einen Super Job. Leider ist das Buffet nicht gerade 4Stern gemäss und man kann nicht draussen essen. Den Spa Bereich sollte man meiden. Sehr entäuschend.
