We had a wonderful stay at Cinnamon wild! The resort is located within Yala National park and you will see wildlife as you get to the hotel. Such a unique experience! The rooms were cosy and well maintained. The staff went above and beyond for us. Such an exceptional team at Cinnamon Wild. We were travelling with our one year old son, and they made sure that we could enjoy ourselves thoroughly. Special thanks to the waiter at dinner who blew up a balloon for our son to play with during dinner to help us mid toddler tantrum. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. We will definitely be back 🙂

This was the perfect place to stay for safaris to Yala National Park. We had a nice one bedroom cabin nestled in the woods. The staff was outstanding. Of course you need a security escort after dark. Which was easy. I called reception and security was at our cabin within minutes and escorted us to dinner and back to our cabin afterwards. They provide as much bottled water as you need. It was glass bottles and not plastic. Staff were super friendly. Must try the breakfast buffet on the 2nd floor. Amazing variety of different foods. Minutes to the park and you can arrange safaris at the hotel or on line like we did via Viator. A special shout out to the staff at the bar. Loved those guys. Our housekeeper, Ravindra, was excellent. Front desk, Sandu, was super nice and helped with everything we requested. Highly recommend this place. We don’t have small children but the families that did seemed to enjoy the large pool.

Excellent service, kind staff. Food was delicious. Rooms were spacious and clean

Wild!

Nice place to stay, very close to the Yala National Park.

Room was kept very clean and staff very courteous

Wonderful hotel in a great location close to lake and ocean. We stayed in a jungle chalet which was spacious and well equipped. Staff constantly patrolling the area so very safe. We booked full board and all the meals were delicious and great variety. Danushka served us at dinner and breakfast and was charming and very attentive.

Very spacious apartment. Champika, Hivusha ,Danushka and Manojith very helpful, friendly and attentive always smiling and happy to help. Breakfast buffet was good evening buffet was good lunch 3 course menu not what was needed. Great location, clean and tidy what's not to like.

Loved the stay. They

The food was very average. Tinned tomato soup and frozen pizza, not fresh made. The rooms were great, clean and had everything we needed. The pool was not the cleanest at the time of visit.

It is ideally located close to the national park with a lovely on-site lagoon filled with birds, water buffalo and crocodiles (all at a safe distance). The staff is great but be aware that given there are no barriers between you and the national park, they have to escort you to and from your room for safety once it gets dark. It is not as luxurious as I expected given the photographs and it is a bit outside of the nearby town so once you are there, it isn't easy to get back and forth - especially after dark when the animals are roaming. Quite suitable for a romantic couples getaway and just 1 or 2 nights, given limited things to do on site outside of the main pool area.

If you are looking for a hotel nearby the national park, look no further as this place is perfect You will be sunbathing watching crocodiles in the lake(it’s safe, don’t worry!!) admiring the sunset with the buffaloes and keep hoping an elephant will pop in. The rooms are spectacular,spacious and very very clean. The buffet (both breakfast and dinner) is yummy and with a variety I haven’t seen before. But the highlight of this hotel is the staff. We had the best people looking after us and this was the best thing!

Our stay at Cinnamon Wild Yala was absolutely wonderful! The resort itself is incredibly luxurious, with beautiful surroundings that make you feel completely relaxed. We loved the little wildlife moments—monkeys and chipmunks even wandered right outside our room, which made the experience feel very special. The food was buffet style with a huge variety of choices, and every meal was delicious. From breakfast to dinner, there was something for everyone, and the quality was consistently impressive. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Every single person we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to be helpful. They made us feel comfortable and ensured our stay was seamless from start to finish.

Spent 2 amazing nights here for safari tours situated right outside the national park. The hotel staff and location is amazing. The cabanas are beautiful and air conditioned. We even had elephants in the lagoon outside our room one night. As additional the safaris are excellent, the park is dripping with wildlife, we booked directly from yalla national park but the hotel does similar tours do a full day as 1/2 is not enough.

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

Nothing special - pictures of rooms oversell it. Staff friendly.

Very nice elevated bungalow in jungle.

I had a fantastic time but I wish I stayed longer.

Luxury lodges surrounded by wildlife. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very good dinner and breakfast buffets, with plenty of options.

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.
