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
