Nice place to stay close to Yala

The rooms were super cool and like tiny houses in the trees. The staff are so gracious and professional and want to make your stay wonderful. Sameera was a standout and friendly and helpful as all of the staff were. I highly recommend this place.

10/10 Exceptional

They accommodated our room request for close rooms (we had 2) and gave us a close location to reception/dining, for my mom who has mobility issues. Some construction going on near the water front. Would be nice to build up the area around the water. Pool area was nice.

Lovely experience. Staff were very friendly. Could have done with some more free water in the room. And food at the buffet could have been hotter.

Yala

Great resort on the edge of Yala park. Pool area next to a small lake with wildlife living and visiting. Crocodiles, elephants, water buffaloes, boars among a big amount of different birds. Guided walks and rides into the Yala park. Wonderful staff making the stay very comfortable. Good and assorted breakfast and large dinner buffet with local and European options. Restaurant and bar by the pool with Saman and others making the stay at it’s best.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Razi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is well placed for the National Park and has many animals in and around the property, such as elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, birds etc. The rooms are excellent but the rest of the property is fairly basic. Food OK, Pool area OK. Sun loungers poor. Reception area poor. We took a morning Safari, which was good but no better than that. DO NOT go on a Safari if you suffer from back or neck issues. It is incredibly bouncy in the car. The beach is wild and untamed. Cinnamon Wild Yala was good but I expected better and especially as the price is high.

Brilliant

WILD cinnamon is really fantastic! And better than the photos suggest! We travel a lot and this was relaxing, really natural really fits in the wild (environment). Animal roam freely through great for the kids to see. Great, thank you. See you again bye. Champika In the restaurant was great really looked after us. As did Saman in the Pug Marks Pool Bar, really really great guy.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Great stay and fun activities

We enjoyed our stay at Cinnamon Wild Yala. We did the stargazing with Kasun. We saw the moon and Saturn and enjoyed the view and the discussion with Kasun. Glad we did this activity! We also went on a nature walk with Gayan Gamage on the 16th of october 2024, and it was absolutely amazing. He was super friendly and knew a lot about the nature and the tracking of the animals. It was very interesting, and we saw a lot of the local animals. We hightly recommend this to anyone who likes the nature and animals. Gayan was friendly and easy to talk to and we had a great time! He was also very good at involving the children and our daughter loved him and wanted a picture taken with him after the tour :)

Slidt, men sødt personale

Godt hotel, men det er slidt. Der mangler fliser i poolen - nogle er faldet af ned i poolen, mens andre har manglet et stykke tid. Finish på værelserne er heller ikke god længere. Det meste trænger til en update. Værelserne er ikke store, og der er reelt ikke plads til en familie på 4. Vi fik dog en ekstra seng ind i værelset, og så gik det. Personalet er søde og meget høflige. De var altid parate til at hjælpe. Generelt mangler der dog mere information om, hvad man kan lave på hotellet, for der er intet i området omkring hotellet. Der var ingen information, og det ville have hjulpet os.

Food was average. Location isnt great. Expensive. Dont stay more than a night - see the national park and move on

Wonderful location in the national reserve with wild animals in the property. Shame they didn’t have star gazing on offer as I was looking forward to that. The staff are friendly and there is a sumptuous buffet if you are half board.
