Cinnamon Wild Yala

Property was wonderful. Food well priced but not great

Great hotel with good value for money.

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 guest's 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. Safari's 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.
