I stayed at Cinnamon Wild Yala on several occasions and I absolutely love it! It is very close to the main entrance of the Yala National Park and the their Nature Trails company offers brilliant safaris with excellent drivers and nature guides. Best chances of encountering wildlife are, however, during full-day and afternoon safaris. The morning safaris tend to be a bit disapppointing if one isn't too keen on panoramas and birds. The rooms are very nice and the bed is very comfortable. The food is also very good and varied. On this occassion I arrived after my wallet had been stolen and I was, therefore, unable to instantly pay my bill. The staff were exceptionally understanding and friendly and allowed me to call a couple of days later to pay with my new card. This definitely made this unpleasant situation much more bearable. Staff are always so incredibly friendly! I'll definitively stay here again.

I loved the natural feel of the cabin placement - and the cabins themselves. I thought the bar was a great hang out space but the staff can’t quite work as a team. They do have a few good bartenders though. Nicely kept pool & great pool staff. Also very good house keeping.

Had a great stay here, wished we had an extra day to make the most of everything! Cabins were spacious, comfortable and quiet - at night we had a staff member walk us back to our room safely and we could see monkeys sleeping in trees, crocodile's eyes glinting in the lake etc which was cool. Pool area really nice, great views from rooftop bar, buffet food was awesome considering the location. Staff friendly and helpful. Note - you can order a packed breakfast if you are leaving early for safari.

Everything - the property is beautiful, the staff is super nice, the buffet is good. I loved how much they care for the animals and respect the fact that we are in their home and not the other way around but at the same time take excellent care of the guests. I will go back again. The only thing I didn't like was their pasta but then it's a very small thing and otherwise their good was good.

Excellent location for our safari in the Yala National Park; close to beautiful walks along the wild beach. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious with comfortable beds. The service was excellent from the reception to the cleaning staff and the whole resort was professionally run. The food in the restaurant was very good and the buffet breakfast was top class, with a great variety of choice. The swimming pool area was a great place to relax after a safari, with lovely views over the lagoon where you could view crocodiles, wild buffalo and bird life. Cinnamon Wild was a highlight of our wonderful holiday in Sri Lanka. A place not to be missed!

The experience of staying in the wild yet having a secure environment courtesy of the staff. The dinner and breakfast buffet at the restaurant was just fantastic.
