Gateway to Yala
Chaarya is a wonderful resort. The pool was awesome, the rooms superb, and the evening buffet was one of the best buffets I have ever experienced for less than $15usd. Great spot for visiting Yala.

Fantastic hotel for a Yala safari base
The Chaarya Resort and Spa is a gorgeous hotel set in a beautiful palm tree lined property. They have a very refreshing pool, a cool outdoor bar, pool table, games area, gym and spa facilities. The grounds are absolutely immaculate, they have multiple gardeners working the lawns all the time. The hotel consists of multiple 1 or 2 story buildings meaning that its private and quiet. The rooms are very clean and spacious. The whole hotel has very chill vibes with music playing throughout. You definitely feel very relaxed throughout the stay. The only improvement I can recommend is the food at the restaurant. They probably need more variety throughout the days. The food was average, not great. But the hotel is within walking distance to some fantastic local restaurants so it wasn't a problem. The value for money at this hotel is incredible.

Hassles for my driver.
The room was fine except for the problem of flies in the room. I didn't appreciate the treatment my driver received. In Sri Lanka hotels offer free accommodation to drivers. This hotel at first refused to give my driver that service with the sorry excuse that I was a foreigner! What does that have to do with anything!? It was a lot of trouble to get the hotel to give us and my driver the same service they grant to Sri Lankans.

Sehr schöne Anlage und Zimmer. Die Zwei Herren von der Bar machen einen Super Job. Leider ist das Buffet nicht gerade 4Stern gemäss und man kann nicht draussen essen. Den Spa Bereich sollte man meiden. Sehr entäuschend.

4/10 Fair

The rooms were very bad condition. Had lots of insects. The bedsheets were dirty. Towels were worn out. The double bed was made by combining the two single beds which had abig rough edge in the centre. Lots of mosquitoes. The manger on duty in the evening was dressed up not for work but as if going for stroll. Very unhelpful manager. Flies all around in the dining area and on food.

Helt okay
Greit hotel. God service og godt mat. Hotellrommet var noe slitt og bassenget langt mindre enn en fikk inntrykk av på bilde. Uansett et greit bassengområde. Mange fluer overalt, men det gjorde hotellet så godt de kunne for å minimerer.

Don't book this hotel.
Don't trust the hotelmanager. One day before arrival in the hotel, we received an email, saying that due a maintenance issue our booking had to be relocated to another hotel, which would provide the same level of service. However, looking on internet we found many disappointing reviews for this hotel. After a many phone calls we did not receive a satisfying response to our request for a suitable alternative. We decided to go to the hotel to have a conversation with the hotel manager. However, upon arrival we were very surprised to see cars and coaches with many guests, putting their suitcases in the arrival hall. We asked the manager, what maintenance issue caused our relocation in another hotel. He then responded, that the hotel rooms had bugs. I asked the manager, if he did not feel embarrassed putting his guests in rooms full with bugs. He then responded that some guests did not care. I asked several arriving guests if they knew about bugs in their rooms. They all said, that they were not informed and did not know about bugs at all. Eventually we spent two days in the Hibiscus Garden Hotel opposite the Chandrika. A very nice quiet hotel, good service and excellent meals. Cheaper with half board and the Chandrika with breakfast only.

Lovely grounds, stylish rooms, great food!
Spacious, comfortable and clean room, nicely decorated. Large bathroom with a waterfall shower and a corner bath. Staff friendly. Plentiful buffet for breakfast and dinner, good selection of western and Sri Lankan dishes. Reasonably priced food and drink. Very nice pool. Less than 30 minute drive to Yala National Park.
