Cinnamon Wild Yala

Its remoteness and closeness to Yala NP. Food is excellent and varied. The rooms re excellent but the photos show a jungle chalet that is a triple and we booked this but on arrival were given a double jungle chalet which is much smaller and frankly not as nice. However, the hotel staff quickly tried to remedy the situation and were able to move us to the type of room thought we had booked the next day.

Property Needs updating. Good staff. Good service

Staying at Cinnamon Wild turned out to be the highlight of our trip. The setting was magical, with a variety of animals like wild boars (!!) running around the property. Huge watering hole near the pool where you can lay and watch them. Staff was so friendly. We were going to stay 1 night, and we ended up staying 3. Food at buffet was excellent. Could have stayed a whole week!

Amazing hotel. Definitely would recommend the premium rooms by the beach. They’re raised off the ground, which provides a great vantage point for observing any wildlife that may enter the resort overnight including wild boar and elephants. Snakes are also pretty frequent visitors. Would come back here in a heart beat.

Booked for two nights but regretted. First the room was full of insect repellent smell for two nights and found two cockroaches in shower room upon check-in. Lizards crawling around the room, spider and unknown reptiles found in the room too. Cleanliness need to be improved. We dined at Pugmarks bar and Tuskers for both nights but food weren't up to expectation for the price we paid. Order mojito after recommendation from the staff but seriously is tasteless... Totally waste of money!!! Very simple and plain breakfast was packed in a box for those joining the morning safari tour. Don't expect too much... Roof Top Bar was under renovation.

Excellent bungalow rooms in the forest . Fantastic pool was sunbathing and wild boar family just wondered along the side of the grass near the pool breath taking. Was sitting on our balcony and buffalo just walked past was unbelievable but felt so safe the animals took no notice of people. Breakfast was fantastic extensive choice . Only downside was we only had one night here.

Hotel a little isolated so you to effectively eat on site - but found food really good and staff friendly.We saw more animals at the hotel than we did on official safari. Rooms we really nice.

The hotel was very close to Yala national wildlife park. The staff were very helpful and the food was great.

This hotel is on the edge of the national. . The wildlife around the lake , which the pool overlooks was great and generally better than the Yala national park itself , where we never saw an elephant. At the hotel , and I was there four days an elephant came to visit the lake at between 2pm and 3pm. There are monkeys in the trees around your rooms and boar roam around the villas on a regular basis. The only downside was food. I foolish booked room only. Breakfast was over 2000lkr per head . They ran buffets but failed be transparent about the price so we only ate from the al carte menu. Food was good but all prices exclude tax and service which is frankly dishonest ! The bbq was $35 US dollars per head ! In summary - great hotel but go full board as you totally trapped once you there ! I would recommend it to friends and family but this purely due to location.

Amazing place, relaxing, comfortable - just wonderful
