Loved the nature aspect of the surroundings and the service delivered with a smile!

An experience like no other staying at this location. A spa like elevated beach chalet with wild sights and sounds from every direction. We woke up to a wild bore digging in the sand and enjoyed an evening cocktail at the lounge as an elephant walking through the resort. In between a couple crocs lazing about. I’d highly recommend the nature hike as it opened our eyes to many things we were simply walking past. The food was varied and delicious.

Well kept chalets nicely designed. Attentive staff, but check-in was slow. Road to the property could be improved for those arriving by small cars.

Great location for the national park safari tour. Very nice amenities and great food at the hotel.

Really amazing luxurious stay so close to nature and the national parks. I loved the friendly guide who took us on a walk to the lake to point out different birds and animals at sunset. It is very special when you see wild boar and crocodiles, literally a few metres from where you are enjoying dinner. Thank you!

Lovely resort… constantly see lots of animals in the resort.. quality of food was very good for a buffet… lovely rooftop bar

Very clean room. Nice room and very friendly and professional staff. Good size swimming pool. Wild animals at the premises. Very good location for a safari in Yala. Safari was a nice experience even though it was not booked through the hotel. The breakfast was the best breakfast ever. The food overall was very good. We used the á la carte menu which was great.

Cinnamon Wild is a beautiful hotel, by far the most luxurious place we stayed in Sri Lanka. The wildlife in the immediate area is incredible and the hotel itself is stunning. My only suggestion would be to add some children's menu options to the pool bar menu, we were travelling with young children and options outside of the buffet were very limited

Stayed one night and went on a safari-fantastic location, wildlife everywhere around and in the hotel which was great to see. Hotel immaculately clean, room large and well equipped, very comfy bed, great bathroom. Staff really friendly and helpful, food and drinks excellent. Pool area lovely. Shame rooftop bar shut-the only negative

Property was wonderful. Food well priced but not great

Great hotel with good value for money.

Don’t go Yala Nationalpark!!!! If you like to see animals you try another Nationalpark or go to Africa. If you are lucky and see a Leopard you will be with minimum 60 cars in line. Absolutely terrible. We saw only 5 elephants. Also with many cars . If you book a day trip you have to wait 2 hours at the beach . There is nothing, only toilet. We had a very good driver, but t most on the driver are very young and definitely too fast and do not accept the nature. Unfortunately our experience was so bad. The lodge is quite nice but the management just think about Money. They sell small glas wine from 3 liter bottle for nearly 10,- € by the glas. And Quality is terrible.

This is an excellent location for safaris at Yala. The facility is fine, but not luxurious. The bungalows are very nice and very comfortable. The grounds are OK - but not a place I'd want to spend many days in. The driveway into the hotel is not adequately maintained - our driver, who was excellent, would not bring the van down. The food was good, but not great. We felt that the extras - drinks, non-inclusive meals, etc, that you have to pay for, were overpriced for the Sri Lankan economy and comparable hotels, and it felt like they were taking advantage of the fact that you were stuck there. The staff was rather inflexible and not as accommodating as we've typically found in Sri Lanka

Lovely room, great safari, buffet breakfast was great, the a la carte dinner menu was disappointing but overall a great place to stay. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Would stay again

Nice rooms and restaurant. Lake next to hotel with crocodiles and buffalos was cool.

The road leading to the property is difficult for a vehicle which is not a three wheel drive. We went there with our driver and his pillow was full of bedbugs. The hotel could not guarantee a room without bedbugs and another guests driver had the same problem. Our drivers left to find rooms elsewhere. Had to wait 20 minutes for a shuttle to the main gate the next morning.My mother found an insect in her bed and their room (146) had smells coming from outside. Way to rooms not well lit and there were no torches. Safaris were expensive. Lovely beach which was not signposted. Good breakfast box for the game drive. No fences and we were told not to walk at night on our own. That was difficult as all rooms were laid out chalet style in the grounds. The management needs to improve and attention should be paid to cleanliness.

Wonderful wild life experience

Beautiful location- sea on one side and a lake on the other. Lot of wildlife too. The Jungle Chalets were simply great. Food was great and plenty of choice. Impeccably trained staff. Loved the stay and it was hard to leave.

Amazing, absolutely amazing. The staff were incredible, the hotel was gorgeous, our room was perfect and we wished we had stayed longer!

Animals walking around the property.Although the Safari was too many jeeps communicating between themselves for sighting of animals created traffic jams.Safari was through the hotel.This could have been much better.Minneriya Safari tour much better.

Great remote location, wonderful wildlife right outside your room, very peaceful and tranquil. Staff were all delightful and far from pushy, in fact you were left completely alone and you had to go and find staff if you needed anything. The breakfastes were delicious and plentiful and although we were the only couple eating a la carte menu for dinner the curries were fabulous. Lighter snacks like pizza not so good though.

Excellent customer service - jungle chalet was great (well-sized, king-sized bed, no bugs/ creatures of any type found themselves in my chalet which amazed me!) - decent sized pool area

Excellent customer service was received at all times

We stayed 2 nights, and wished we had booked for one more night. We did a half day safari, and were lucky enough to see a male leopard. Meals, staff and facililies are great.

Great place to stay. Only o e thing that took a while for service around the pool. However not a drama. Rooms are amazing
