# Minneriya National Park

![The giant didn't seemed to be too pleased by the noise of the few safari jeeps around him near the Minneriya lake. He fled into the dense forest nearby. It seems like the increasing number of the vehicles entering the national park disturbs their usual life. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353284/f8896656-d2b6-43ae-9da4-b6f10b734aea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![Minneriya National Park is located just few hours drive from Polonnaruwa. It is hard to see a variety of species in the park. Still, it is one of the promising parks for Elephant encounters. Best thing about Minneriya is the hundreds of elephants gather to the Minneriya Tank in every evening during the dry season. If you haven't got time to do Yala National Park or Wilpattu National Park, this is the best. It is just a 3-4h Safari.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353284/955d0bb6-4f88-4dad-9f32-0979c640d3e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

8.8/10 Excellent! (117 reviews)

Friendly staff, attentive to room service needs. Shakila at breakfast was very good. She went out of the way to service us. There were 2 male receptionist staff also were great! Forgot their names. Expedia had listed standard room as ocean view, but the property didn’t acknowledge as ocean view for standard room. We got the room we wanted after explaining it, they were accommodating. Will go back again.

8.4/10 Very Good! (5 reviews)

Peaceful & relaxing with a beautiful beach & safe swimming. The Garden Villas were delightful & the staff genuinely friendly with good service standards. There is a lifeguard on duty who is both informative about sea conditions & the wildlife around. The birdlife is stunning. Only one small quibble in that the inner pool area could do with a bit of a clean.Other than that all good & would certainly recommend.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (10 reviews)

Room was excellent, food & drinks were great, staff exceptionally friendly and curteous. Hotel is a little remote, but that's the appeal - 20 min walk into the local town / beach, and 10 minute Tuktuk back up the hill. (Usually LKR 500 - £1.25 or thereabouts)
