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.

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.

Great stay in the wild

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 :)

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.

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.

Really amazing luxurious stay so close to nature and the national parks. I loved the friendly guide who took us on a walk to the lake to point out different birds and animals at sunset. It is very special when you see wild boar and crocodiles, literally a few metres from where you are enjoying dinner. Thank you!

Cinnamon Wild is a beautiful hotel, by far the most luxurious place we stayed in Sri Lanka. The wildlife in the immediate area is incredible and the hotel itself is stunning. My only suggestion would be to add some children's menu options to the pool bar menu, we were travelling with young children and options outside of the buffet were very limited

Safari stop over

Stayed one night and went on a safari-fantastic location, wildlife everywhere around and in the hotel which was great to see. Hotel immaculately clean, room large and well equipped, very comfy bed, great bathroom. Staff really friendly and helpful, food and drinks excellent. Pool area lovely. Shame rooftop bar shut-the only negative
