It was already the 3rd time I stayed at Taprospa Tissa. I like to spend a few days Taprospa just relaxing because the service and food is always outstanding. And also this time I haven’t been disappointed. The staff took good care of me and the chef himself made sure I enjoyed a rich variaty of delicious Sri Lankan food.... More

Basic accommodation. First room, the AC did not work; staff said wait 30 minutes or so and it will be cool. Obviously, when it blows only hot air, the room will not cool down. TV did not work; finally staff moved us to another room, were TV barely worked and AC was marginal. Staff friendly but poor English and does... More

his is a beautiful hotel where you can chill out after the jeep safari. The rooms are like small bungalows around the pool/restaurant area. I got an upgrade and had a small terrace with chairs and a table. The infinity pool overlooking the lake is spectacular. The food is excellent. It's in a gated complex with 24 hour security.

Group of four of us stayed overnight at Taprospa (also known as Tapro Tissa) in late December. Tour operator recommended it in lieu of other places that weren't available given the time of year and occupancy. The hotel features a great pool, exactly what you want after four hours bouncing around in Yala National Park. Unfortunately, there's very little else... More

This hotel appears almost 'closed' in fact it would be better if it was! Arrived for only one night stay (thank goodness!). Staff not welcoming as in previous hotels - indeed our driver had to ask for someone to get our bags - which so far on this trip is most unusual! Room below average for classification - grubby although... More

It was not my first stay at the Taprospa Tissa and since I have been spoiled by the staff during my first visit my expectations were quite high when I returned this October. And my expectations were not only achieved but even exceeded! The friendly manager and the ever smiling employees saw to it that I wanted for nothing. Taprospa... More

Stayed for 1 night when visiting Yala ( which is great) . This place used to be called the waterfront and got dreadful reviews and I'm sorry to say things have not got much better. We got one of the refurbished rooms ( 1,2 and 3). The setting is lovely overlooking a lake and with a super almost infinity pool... More
