We booked Galapita directly, looking for somewhere different to stay - the web site promised various activities, including tyre tubing (sic), elephant watching and cycling. The accommodation is very very basic, although it is a lovely location by the river. None of the activities were available - we were told the tires "had burst". The staff tried hard, but there just wasn't much on offer. The food was basic vegetarian - but after 2 days we'd had everything on offer - endless vegetables, three times a day. It's terribly over-priced, for what it is - at half the price, it would be almost reasonable, but we definitely couldn't recommend it.

We stayed one night in this lodge. It's about 15 km from the next city and a good start for Yala NP. The lodge is situated along a river. You can reach the logde via a walking bridge. The lodge is very basic. Expect no comfort here, but you will experience a lot of rest and it's back to nature. People are friendly and the food is fine: vegetarian. If you like to have meet or fish, you have to pay extra for it. They have common bathrooms. Warm water on solar energy. The bathrooms look very natural, but as I said: don't expect comfort. During our stay it was very very warm during the night. No breeze and we were very tired the next morning. You don't must be afraid of being in nature, because the cabins are open (no doors, no windows). We expected the lodge to be a little more trendy and comfortable. Nevertheless I rated this logde above average, because it has been really a special experience.
