After over 40 years of traveling, from ultra-luxurious five-star hotels to charming two-star surprises, we embarked on a three-week journey through Sri Lanka, staying at some of the country’s best properties. Wild Coast Tented Lodge? Outstanding. Eraeliya Weligama? Outstanding. Ceylon Tea Trails? Fantastic. Then came UGA Chena Huts—an experience so underwhelming it left us wondering how on earth this place maintains its high rating. This is not a five-star resort. It is, at best, a three-star establishment charging luxury prices while coasting on its location and reputation. The owners have clearly decided that “good enough” is the standard, rather than investing in what could be a truly exceptional experience. THE POSITIVES: ✔️ Spectacular location with breathtaking views over the Indian Ocean. ✔️ Kind and professional staff—they are trying their best despite what they have to work with. ✔️ Food is decent—not exceptional, but not terrible either. ✔️ Nice sundowner setting—a moment of peace before the reality of the resort kicks back in. ✔️ Beautiful beach dinner arrangements—a rare highlight. ✔️ Decent open-air bar area—nothing special, but at least functional AND OPEN … ✔️ Excellent safari rangers—if only the resort matched their level of professionalism. THE NEGATIVES: 1. DATED, DATED, DATED. The entire property screams neglect. This isn’t “rustic luxury” or “understated charm”—it’s just old, tired, and uninspired. 2. The Huts? Large but Utterly Soulless. Yes, they are spacious. But space means nothing when it’s filled with boring, outdated furniture and zero atmosphere. Staying here feels more like being in a forgotten timeshare unit than a luxury retreat. 3. The Plunge Pools? A Complete Joke. I cannot stress this enough—the so-called private plunge pools are an atrocity. Small, cheap plastic tubs, with tiny, worn-down decks that wouldn’t even be acceptable in a low-budget roadside motel. How anyone thought this was an acceptable feature for a luxury resort is beyond comprehension. 4. The Main Pool? An Absolute Misery. Instead of using the stunning ocean views to create an infinity pool masterpiece, they’ve hidden it in the bushes. No atmosphere, no view—just an uninspired, lifeless pool area that feels like an afterthought. 5. No Proper Pool Bar – Just a Slow, Overworked Server on a Bicycle. Want a drink by the pool? Be prepared to wait an eternity. There’s no real bar—just a lone staff member who has to bike over to fetch your order. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a beer or soda. If you want anything more complex—good luck. 6. The Dining Room? A Glass Prison. Whoever designed the main restaurant must have hated nature, because instead of making the most of the setting, they shoved it inside a glass aquarium with AC. You can technically dine outside, but space is ridiculously limited. It’s a total mystery why a resort that markets itself as an “immersive nature retreat” has such an unwelcoming, uninspired dining experience

On arrival we were greeted by Salman with the words "welcome to paradise|". And it was. Highlights are many but include the wonderful bungalow with its view of the lake (and bathing water buffalo); the sundowners on the beach over-looking the Indian Ocean; the amazing, creative and tasty food (all made on site to the highest standard); the fabulous cocktails; and the awe-inspiring safari with our knowledgeable ranger. Having elephants pass a few feet in front of our jeep was an unforgettable experience. But the icing on the cake was the amazing staff who, without exception, were friendly, helpful and professional. Seems unfair to single anyone out from such an outstanding crew, but a special thanks to Deshan for making us laugh on every buggy journey (sorry we missed your leopard suit!) and Sanjeewa for the 1st rate cookery class which we got to enjoy for our lunch. This is that rare place - a truly all-inclusive resort.

The huts are large and very comfortable, wirh a great private pool. All of the staff are excellent, incredible service and attitude. We particularly appreciated Salman, who was so professional and so friendly The food and choices were excellent quality And the restaurant and bar was very nicely appointed. We were out on Safari multiple times and were lucky to see a notirious Tusker, a Leopard and many other Elephants amongst several species of birds and other animals. The ranger Dushmantha & Driver Roshan were absolutely excellent, knowledgable and very accomodating. We highly recommend.

We stayed for 3 nights at Uga Chena Huts. It was a great amount of time - and 4 nights might just be better to thoroughly enjoy the property as well as Yala. The room was such a great respite after the crazy Yala drives. So much space to sprawl out. Such a comfy bed and pillows. Great shower and pressure. The deck with pool was lovely and really enjoyed hearing the waves from the ocean and the birds. Only criticism is the toilet room - it needs a roof for privacy - no one wants to hear their loved one’s issues going on in there! The service was spot on! They worked so hard to make eveyone happy and cared for. A shout out to Janith our ranger - he was so knowledgeable and made the drives fun and tailored them to my needs after I said no more bumpy “main road” of Yala - so helpful! (And on that note make sure to book Spa appointments! Your sore body will thank you after those safari drives) Tea in the spa was excellent! The food - amazing! Always ready to cater to our needs when we needed to change it up because of preferences. I will remember the fluffy truffle eggs from breakfast forever!! Best breakfasts I’ve ever had. And the quantity of food - you will never go hungry - ever! I had to start just having soup for lunch to save room for Safari snacks which is actually just lunch to go - and so good to! I can’t say enough or praise the property and people enough - wonderful in every sense. Oh and an elephant even made a visit to the car park where you board the safari vehicles as well as wild boar to top it all off! Thanks so much Uga Chena Huts!!
