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! ##### Manuela Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Neil 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Nothing special - pictures of rooms oversell it.

Staff were very friendly. Could have done with some more free water in the room. And food at the buffet could have been hotter. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### anders 11 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A88F7993E7CB6F6CAB4FE97AD2735CD2B8C057E01720663165528.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/889DEA38F4FB91AD1C81F17D72C407DF06DCEC641720663162401.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### anders Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy 18 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Tracy Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 8 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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 Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Limberg 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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 :) ##### Limberg Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Limberg 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay in the wild We enjoyed our stay at Cinnamon Wild Yala.

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. ##### Martin Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shellie 29 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 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. ##### Shellie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fateha 17 Nov 2025 Loved the stay.
