The resort was fabulous, from location, staff, food and accommodation. The staff arranged a safari for us and provided us with breakfast, fruit and water which was excellent. The accommodation was 5*. The room was clean, beds were comfortable and the balcony was big with lovely views across the fields. You can see peacocks in the gardens. We ate at the restaurants on two nights. The food was delicious and service was 5*. The hotel arranged a full day safari for us. Our safari was superb and our tour guide Sasunka was excellent. We saw leopard, elephants, lots of birds, mongoose, lizards and buffalo. We had a private jeep which was excellent. I unfortunately lost my bag on safari but luckily the wildlife officers found it and the staff at the hotel helped arrange for me to collect this the following day - this was super helpful and reassuring. They came with me and helped translate.

Nothing. Everything was excellent. I will 100% be back

Lovely hotel with everything you might need in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful design, comfy, clean and tidy, amazing views from the balcony (exceptionally serene atmosphere), air conditioning works well, spacious bathroom and shower. Pool is clean and inviting. Absolutely love that the hotel provides everything: food, water etc. Restaurant is good, food is delicious and portions are huge. Personnel was nice and friendly. We also booked safari with the hotel. It was awesome. The only thing we didn't like was how much more wore down our Jeep was compared to all the others. But the driver was very thorough with showing us all the animals and stunning views, so we were happy with our safari at the end. The included breakfast was tasty and plentiful as well.

I think there is a bird nest or something on the roof of the house (closest one to the gate), the birds created insane noise last morning, maybe that could be dealt with (without harming the birds of course).

Sankil the manager was really helpful and we are very thankful for all his help during our stay! He was very kind and attentive to our needs. We had a room on the top floor and we were so happy with the size and amenities within the room. All of the staff were friendly.

We did think the restaurant was a little poorly decorated, with no music or “atmosphere” either. The pool was nice but more could be done with their outdoor space. The Sri Lankan food offered was amazing, so flavoursome! The western breakfast was slightly underwhelming however. Overall we were pleased with our stay and the staff are wonderful.

The hotel staff was exceptionally helpful and attentive throughout our stay. From the moment we arrived, they went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and had everything we needed. Special thanks to Sasika Bogahalande (manager) for providing local recommendations, or quickly addressing any requests, their friendliness and professionalism made a significant difference in my experience.

I did notice some areas for improvement, particularly in cleanliness and bedding comfort. The room could have been cleaner, as I noticed that could have been addressed more thoroughly. Additionally, the bedding, while acceptable, was not as comfortable as I would have hoped. The mattress was a bit too firm for my liking. Improving these aspects would greatly enhance the guest experience. Despite these issues, I enjoyed my stay and would consider returning if these improvements were made.

We had a wonderful stay at the Avonil Resort. The room was clean and spacious. The air conditioning works well. The shower did not always get hot. The staff is friendly, thoughtful and ready to help you if you have any questions. We had an excellent breakfast and a delicious meal in the evening, although the restaurant has little atmosphere. Our attendant each evening was exceptionally friendly. The hotel manager brought us for a good price to our next hotel. This hotel is a good location for a safari in Yala, you leave at 5:00 am and receive a small breakfast package with an egg/cheese sandwich, a juice, a banana and a bottle of water. A safari can be arranged through the hotel, but we chose to do this through another party. We spent USD 60 per person for a private safari, the hotel charges slightly more, but this price is perfectly in line with the market.

The property provided a wonderful, relaxing retreat, with every detail meticulously maintained and spotlessly clean. From the spacious room with a large, comfortable bed and well-functioning air conditioning to the beautiful balcony views overlooking the serene paddy fields and stunning sunsets, our stay exceeded expectations. We're already looking forward to a return visit in the near future.

The TV & dialog connection was not working and found few insects in the room. water pressure was bit low and could be improved.

Very spacious and comfortable rooms. This is one of the better places we stayed during our trip around Sri Lanka. Good dinner at a reasonable price and international + Sri Lankan breakfast. WiFi and air conditioner work very well. Nice swimming pool on the property. Friendly staff.

The shower water doesn't get very hot (but the water pressure is fine). Bathroom is not as clean as modern hotels (but still good for the area). Location feels isolated; best if you have your own car.

The room was very spacious and meticulously clean :) it lies quiet among rice fields, which I loved. The staff is absolutely friendly and helpful. The food was good 👍 and the showers hot or cold, depending how you liked it. Laundry service was perfect. Yala safari was perfectly organized for me as well as a TukTuk to the city when I needed it.

Only tiny thing was, that the pool looked brackish green instead of blue which wasn't very inviting. Something with the chemicals. It was okay for me, I just took a nice cool shower that day.

The room was spacious with large beds and a clean washroom. Water was hot but water pressure was a little too low. Equipped with kettle and tea/coffee packets. The restaurant had food that catered to all types of palette and the morning breakfast spread was very good too. We had the continental spread.

The Google map location can sometimes lead you down a dirt path to get here. Maybe some signage on the main road will help us take the correct good road to this place.

The staff were lovely, the hotel was rather busy and he automatically picked up on this and ensured our stay was special by provided complimentary cinnamon tea and rice balls- this was a lovely touch! The hotel grounds are lovely and in a great location, the rooms are also very big.

The pool did have live bugs in which put us off getting in, the loungers could also be more comfortable as they had no cushioning.
