Cinnamon Wild Yala

Hotel is great value for money. Surrounding areas are beautiful however we found the buffet dinner too expensive

Great location on the beach and on small lake where animals come to drink.

it is a disaster. This hotel is in the middle of no where, which we understand it is right inside the Yala National park. But the staff there is just so inefficient! They can not find my booking even i showed them the confirmation letter and mails. It took more than 1 hour to check in. Even more redicious is the next morning when we checked out, they on hold us again because they still can not find out booking!! I totally did not get this. The staff work in the bar and restanrant are not friendly at all. I won't suggest to stay in this hotel even their room is quite cute.

We stayed at Cinnamon Wild for two nights bracketing a safari in Yala National Park. The hotel is perfect for its setting, comfortable but respectful of its natural surroundings. From the elephant grazing along the approach road to the crocodiles in the lagoon to the monkeys that overturned our balcony furniture, this place offered a chance to enjoy nature without really roughing it. Beds were wonderful, breakfast was delicious, and the beach was so close we could hear the surf at night.

Our family enjoyed 2 nights here. We stayed in the beach bungalows (kids in one, adults in another), which were attached by a common deck. The rooms were large and very comfortable. The staff was friendly and service oriented. While the food - breakfast, lunch and dinner were outstanding.

Beach front chalet is unsuitable for a family. If you book this chalet type and you are accompanied by children you will likely be moved to a jungle chalet regardless of your preference.

Stayed in Yala for 2 nights for safaris to Yala. Since the hotel is in Yala national park there is no need to go back and forth on the access route to the park which has been under construction for more than a yr and is in very bad condition. We had booked a beach chalet with Expedia under the full board rate but at check in, we were informed that this was a mistake by Expedia and that the Expedia rate in fact included only the room. What was surprising is that this has been going on for many months and that the hotel took no steps to correct this and is still allowing Expedia to market their rooms at the wrong rate which is rather misleading. We were told that Expedia would refund the difference (meals). This was a bit of a dampening start to our stay. Nonetheless this is an excellent base for Yala safaris as no time is wasted in getting to the park as the hotel is in the national park itself.

It was just one night but a good place for doing safari from. The wild cat is not wild and very cuddly!staff were good, pool lovely and clean. I would only stay here though if you have a room on the beach but that's just us. Lovely big areas so you didn't feel overwhelmed with people.

Great food, the staff were very helpful and very comfortable facilities. Very easy to organise safari's from here. Saw Elephant, Leopard and Sun bear.

Although the National Park is in drought and the surroundings were barren, our stay at the Cinnamon Wild was lovely. The best feature was the staff, who were so willing to meet any requests and were very positive.
