Positive: We chose Hilton for our safari experience in Yala National Park, primarily because of their experienced in-house guides—and they truly exceeded our expectations. The Hilton team handled every detail with great care and professionalism, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable safari experience. We would especially like to thank our guide, our driver, and the guest relations team for their attentiveness, warmth, and dedication throughout our stay. The hotel also stands out with its exceptional culinary offerings. The food was consistently delicious, and the overall experience offered excellent value for money. Our sincere compliments to the chef and the entire team.
Negative: We stayed in room 306, which appeared very comfortable at first glance. However, there was a strong humidity/mold smell in the room. As the windows cannot be opened due to safety concerns (such as insects or wildlife), it was not possible to properly ventilate the space. Unfortunately, we left the hotel feeling unwell, with sore throats caused by the damp environment. Additionally, we found the minibar to be quite limited and below the standard one would expect from a Hilton property.
Summary: A high-end safari lodge 🌿

Positive: Just spent a few days at the Hilton Yala and honestly, it’s a bit of a gem. The location is unreal — right in the middle of Yala National Park, so you feel properly tucked away, but still surrounded by all the comforts you’d want. The hotel is new, super modern, but still has that classic, natural look that fits the area perfectly. The food was great, the pool was fantastic, and the whole place just feels like a little hideaway. You’re literally sitting there and suddenly you spot wildlife moving around nearby — it’s a pretty special experience. If you’re heading to Yala and want something chilled, comfortable, and unique, this place is worth it.
Negative: I would have had this place as a 10 out of 10, but there were a few things that let it down for me. First, the beds are super hard — not the best sleep if you prefer something softer. And even though the food was great, the menu is very limited. I’d honestly suggest they rotate menus each night of the week so guests staying longer than four nights always have something new to try. The staff were super friendly, no complaints there, but on a few occasions I did have to remind them about my orders or follow up, which shouldn’t really be happening at a hotel of this level. And if you’re going with small kids, I’d only recommend a maximum of two nights. It’s a stunning spot, but it’s not really designed with children in mind.
Summary: Overall, it was a stunning and unique place to stay — incredible location, great food, a few small frustrations, but sti

Positive: It was absolutely incredible What a breathtaking experience Genuinely loved the hotel the safari and the peacefulness I never leave a review but this was definitely worth leaving a review for
Negative: There wasn’t really much I didn’t like, the dogs were a little noisy but their puppy’s were so cute that it made it all worth it.
Summary: Relaxing, rejuvenating

Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Absolutely outstanding. From the moment we got to the resort, to the briefing of the services to ensure our safety and the world class hospitality of the staff. I was so impressed. I’ve stayed at a number of Hilton’s and without much expectation, this compares to the best hotels in the world. The food is incredible, the staff do every thing they can to make sure you feel comfortable and welcome. From bringing my Apple Watch to the gym to allowing me to checking out 3 whole hours late so I could get some rest as we had an early morning safari and we had to drive 4 hours to the airport once checked out. I can only say - this resort was nothing short of a 10/10 experience. Value for money as well!
Summary: The Perfect Stay

Positive: Awesome hotel and very attentive staff
Negative: A bit more freedom to roam. I can understand for kids and the elderly to be supervised however I think it should be okay for adults to roam outside freely without having to call someone to walk/buggy with them
Summary: Awesome experience in a beautiful location with the most friendly/attentive staff
