Cinnamon Wild Yala

This is such a special place to stay! We saw loads of wildlife around the property and out on the Safari. We booked two jungle family rooms for our family of 4 and they were spacious, clean and comfortable. The food was decent, drinks were yummy, and the service was great. They don't play music at the pool or restaurants and so you become attuned to all of the nature sounds around you. It's a wonderful place and great value!

We chose this resort for our last nights in Sri Lanka and could not have chosen better when going on Safari. The jungle huts are stylish. You really feel like you are on safari. We were woken up every morning by monkeys on the roof and they were everywhere. A beautiful experience. We could watch the crocodiles and buffalo from the pool. The pool staff is very nice and friendly. He always let us know what to look at. It was a short walk to the beach. Every day we enjoyed a coastal trek. You can't swim here, but the views are breathtaking. A big thank you to the staff at the restaurant. We have travelled to luxury hotels in Sri Lanka but the choice and quality of food here was one of the best. Yummy Honey Hoppers for breakfast. Special thanks to the girls Danu and Tharuka who were very nice and helpful. These girls have a great future ahead of them in the hotel industry. Very much appreciated the breakfast box on the morning safari. The stay at the resort is perhaps better than the safari itself. We will definitely be back.

Being within the wildlife and the kind staff who volunteered to cook special meal for my child, Udaya Lagantha and Lalith who was so flexible to open the rooftop bar for us and the room boy, Tinath who put the unique flower designs on our bed everyday.

The proximity to the Yala National Park. The chalet was comfortable enough while giving the sense of staying in a forest. The breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent with a wide range of items to eat. Excellent service and attention to detail from the staff at the restaurant

There are many things that I appreciated about this hotel, namely : 1) The staff were friendly and helpful 2) The box of biscuits on arrival was a nice treat & the executive chef spoilt me with a box on departure 3) I loved that I could see the sea from my cabin 4) I enjoyed being able to photograph the wide variety of bird life at the lake 5) I enjoyed the food at the a la carte restaurant This hotel is good for families and large groups
