Wonderful stay!! Spacious, super clean room (high ceilings and big room)....the grounds are gorgeous, ample common areas, and the staff were very kind. The restaurant was a great value and super convenient!! Definitely a wonderful place to stay!! Only a small knock bc the laundry was quite expensive (even by USA standards) and not cleaned (or dried) to my expectations for the price

    Family owned, very friendly people. Got a recently renovated room that was very comfortable and probably the cleanest we've had all of our time in Sri Lanka. Accommodated our request for earlier breakfast. Cannot comment on swimming pool or food as we didn't try. We stayed just one night.

    The owner of Serenity lake advices us to visit Yala safari, Sithul pawwa magul viharaya and sithul pawwa a super history with beautiful scenery, which we did and we're very grateful for his advice. We returned to the serenity lake to have lunch before heading off. Requested for a village kind of lunch with the local veggies and it was served on a lotus leaf... The most delicious meal it was. We had lunch at Reds and at the Serenity lake .

    The location is excellent and the resort is real value for money . The food was excellent . The rooms were nice . The toiletries in the bathrooms needs to improve . The bathroom needs exhaust fans as it can get quite stuffy . The resort manager Mr Upal is a nice friendly bloke and is exceptional in his service . Overall a very pleasant experience .

    This is a great location to stay if you want to visit the national parks and My Village will organise safaris to the four parks in the area either a half or full day. The local town is not a tourist town but it's great to wander around looking in the local shops.

    We were there the first time for safari. We had a tour to the Buddha by the sea…amazing. This time we were passing through on our way to Ella. We ate at Red Pizza which was just as good second time round.

    Was in Tissamaharama for Yala Safari, had booked the early morning Safari. Disappointed with the Safari as there were very few animals except.for.peacocks and spotted dear. Later into the ride our jeep driver and guide revealed we had entered through block 5 of the Safari and most the animals(Leopard, Bears) mostly are sighted in block 1 and 2. Block 1 and 2 were closed that day, maybe just our luck. So I guess check, with the Safari organizer before booking your safari as it quite expensive. Basically disappointed ☹️

    Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks.

    Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks. I' went to Bundala as I've never been to park with big wetlands and I think it was a great choice. We've seen numerous types of birds, lizards, monkeys, jackals, mangooses, bufallos, crocodiles and also few elephants😊 I didn't stay in center of Tissa but still was able to find nice restaurants, like Smoky Kitchen (recommended).

    I can’t recommend staying at Tara Watergate enough. The rooms are big, bright, spacious with large windows looking out onto the lake. The room was very clean, beautifully air conditioned. The staff were incredibly attentive and warm. They kindly organised a safari for us which was the highlight of our trip. I left something behind and the hotel sent it by tuk tuk to me — I am so thankful. The food was the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka, the chefs are very talented. The pool is clean and very refreshing to cool off in.

    Amazing place. The owner was super helpful. He took me from the bus stop. He even took me to a restaurant and took me back to the hotel. Everything was so comfortable. The staff was so kind. Room was the cleanest compared to other places I stayed in Sri Lanka. They arranged a very nice safari tour. They also offer free bicycle so I could explore the area a bit. Best place to stay especially if you are a solo woman traveller.

    We stayed in a lot of beautiful accommodations during our trip in Sri Lanka but this hotel takes the cake, it’s such an amazing place. The staff is the sweetest, every morning they clean the entire property and pool. The food is excellent, they also catered to our 3 year old who is a picky eater. Couldn’t be happier, 10 out of 10
