We liked this hotel but some of the guests were extremely rude and noisy, pushing in front of us at breakfast (which was extremely good), and being generally loud. If we were to stay in that area again we would choose an hotel tat did not cater for foreign tour groups.

Liked: Room comfort
Comfortable hotel. Nice view, but is a little worn
Was expecting a bit better, based on reviews and photos. The place is a bit worn down, especially the rooms. The view out to the lake is nice and the reception/lobby area is comfortable. Rooms are what let it down. They are looking a bit worn and need a facelift. Sliding window/doors on the room were quite dirty and needed a good clean. Some walls had cracks and stains. Bathrooms are a little smelly. Staff are a little slow and took a while for them to check us in and out. There is probably better options for the money.

The property is amazing - grand and beautiful. The architecture is very good and so is the view. You can spend a lot of time around the property and enjoy it. Staff is not very helpful - had to ask for a pool towel 3 times still did not get it. So, that's something they can improve upon. They do not have a buffet breakfast, so the staff provides a fixed menu. Overall, its nice and beautiful but staff can be more helpful and they can pay little more attention to attending to the guest.

Great stay and great facilities
We had a great stay at EKHO Safari Tissa. We were upgraded to a suite with lakeview upon arrival. The facilities were in great condition, and the swimming pool (quite) clean. Dinner and breakfast bouffet with lots to choose from. The only negative is that the safe did not work.
