Chaarya Resort & Spa

An excellent 5 star class resort with a feel good vibe and an excellent location on the main road. We got upgraded to a chalet room and had a great experience. Rooms are very well appointed, with a good firm mattress and a sit out area, the bathroom is a dream. Internet is good. Spacious restaurant, great food and superb service. They will happily accommodate requests for a box breakfast at 5 am in time for your early morning safari. The resort is clean and is beautifully landscaped with lotus ponds. Nice pool with jacuzzi, decent gym, cocktail lounge. Own parking area. Highly recommended.

We had the pleasure of staying at this hotel for the first time, and it has left us with a positive impression. The overall experience was delightful.
The dining experience was particularly enjoyable, with a wide variety of delicious food options available. The staff members were exceptional, providing attentive and friendly service throughout our stay.
While the rooms were not exceptionally spacious, they were clean, well-organized, and comfortable. The only minor drawback was the size of the balcony, which was somewhat compact.
The hotel's location is a standout feature, as it is situated in a beautiful and captivating setting. The scenic surroundings add to the charm of the place.
Considering the quality of service, the cleanliness, and the attractive location, we believe that this hotel offers excellent value for money. Our stay here was indeed a memorable and satisfying experience.

We stayed here for 1 night, but it was a very enjoyable experience, with kind staff who helped as much as they could. We stayed in room 132, which was large and cool when arriving, with a huge bathroom and a balcony.

We also had a spa treatment while there, which was very relaxing and enjoyable, whilst also being a reasonable price (think it was 6500 lkr for 30 minute back, head & neck)

Also, when we arrived back from a pre-booked Yala Safari (through our tour guide H.O.T), they came over to us and said they hadn't seen us at breakfast, so made us some food and brought it to our room. Highly recommend you stay here if you can 🙂.

Beautiful resort everything was perfect, rooms are large and clean with a lovely view of the gardens. Pool is perfect to cool off in and grounds are beautifully presented. We had buffet dinner and breakfast here both were excellent.

We recently stayed at Chaarya, we were blown away by the table service and the quality and selection of food at the buffet.

The rooms were clean and well maintained daily.

Nice vibe around the resort and pool, a bar and pool table outside made for a nice way to relax and enjoy after a beautiful meal.

Highly recommend Chaarya if you are visiting Yala.

We only stayed here one night but would have loved to have stayed longer. Very courteous service, great welcome and beautiful pool and garden.
Didn’t love the buffet but I have never been a fan of buffet anyways.

Great place to stay if you plan on visiting Yalla. Amazing pool, lovely rooms.

Best buffet we have gotten in sri lanka. They don't miss a beat. I would highly recommend.

Great hotel with good food and service.
Good selection of wines in the restraunt served by great staff who were friendly and helpful. Lovely hotel….

We had an awesome stay at the hotel. The food and the room were excellent. The ambiance was superb , especially at night. The pool is also well maintained.

When we went there the place was filled with tourists and us and only one other family of locals were there. But the attention and care of the staff was exceptional.

We traveled with our baby and it's always difficult with her. But all the staff members including the general manager,other managers and many of the members we met treated us like family. We were really surprised that they treated us so well.

The staff and their attention and the help they gave made us put this review. And this is our 1st review of a hotel. Of all the 4 and 5 star hotels in the country we visited, Chaarya hotel stands out !!

I was on a tour of the Island and I spent only one day/night in this very beautiful and peaceful place. The room was huge and clean, surrouded by many trees.

The food was very tasty and there was a great variety. The most important thing is that they prepared food for the babies. 👶The staff is also very friendly. If I go to Kataragama again, I will stay at Chaarya Hotel.🥰Thanks for your great service.💯

My first time in Sri Lanka and I'm so glad I decided to stay here for two days. It was my parents' anniversary and my nephews birthday too, on the same day. And they arranged two cakes for the occasion. The service was amazing. They really understand the meaning of hospitality. Very very happy! Definitely visiting again. Love Sri Lanka. And love the people. Such big hearted people.

The people here are amazing. The staff was very welcoming when we arrived and for lunch and dinner we had the best service. Eat the chocolate brownie for dessert. We have never tasted anything like it.

The place is very nice and the garden is so beautiful. The pool was great for an evening swim and the spa was open until late so we managed to go for a swim and a short visit to the spa after our evening safari.

Very good hotel with a nice pool and friendly staff.
The landscaping is lush and relaxing.

Great resort if you want to visit Yala park, the resort is clean, quiet and has a good staff, food is nice, we try dinner and breakfast, pool is great, they have spa, but we didn’t try because we didn’t have enough time

It is a very beautiful resort with good stay and comfortable rooms, staffing was very polite and understanding

This was our third time in this hotel and and we absolutely loved the whole experience. We had a warm welcome and we were guided to our roons after a quick process. The rooms were spacious and clean and up to standard. They have a nice pool and its very relaxing with a calm background. We really enjoyed the food also and the staff was very professional and really helpful. Looking forward to visiting again and would definitely recommend to another.

We recently flew in from the UK and stayed at the Chaarya for a couple days and had the most amazing experience.
Staff were extremely kind and helpful, always smiling and ready to assist with anything.
The hotel was beautiful, it had a mix of a modern and tropical look and we absolutely loved it! The view from the balcony was delightful

Would highly recommend this place to anyone whether that’s alone or with a family

I recently (01Jul2023) stayed at a hotel with my family, including my wife, two kids, and myself, for one night, and I must say it was a wonderful experience.

We appreciated the convenience and enjoyed the thoughtful room arrangement. Additionally, being on the ground floor, we had the added bonus of a small pond with fish right outside our room. This feature was particularly delightful for our kids, as they had a great time observing the fish and even feeding them.

One of the reasons we chose this hotel was its convenient location, which allowed us easy access to popular destinations such as Kataragama, Hambantota, and Yala.

Overall, our stay at this hotel was fantastic. The combination of spacious and clean rooms, the delightful fish pond, the delicious food, convenient location, and the remarkable staff made it a memorable experience for our family. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

The stay overall was pleasant despite a few hiccups at the beginning. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Although service sometimes was extremely slow (room service).
The buffet could have used more variation, I was quite underwhelmed by all three meals. The only thing to write home about was the soups and maybe the pasta but everything else was quite mid
