If you love the wild life and don't mind the insects then this is the place to be: You are literally sleeping around wild life in the middle of the jungle. In the morning you hear the monkeys on your roof tops and you see them jumping around. You must call an escort at night to come out of the room for safety Bec you might find a buffalo walking by : Safari was okay but not much animals to see or maybe it was wrong timing for us. Glen is a friendly waiter ask about him : More. We are indeed pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay with us.
Because the hotel is situated in the buffer zone and is in close proximity with the Yala National park hence wild life roams the hotel premises at all given times. While thanking you for staying with us, and for sharing your positive feedback we eagerly look forward to having you with us again. Not too many places where you can splash around in the pool and watch the crocs in the lake opposite.
Big fans of Cinnamon Wild unlike some of the other Cinnamon chain. Loved feeling so close to nature and watching the sun go down over Yala from the rooftop bar. Chalets are spacious with rainforest showers and good wifi.
The low rise aspect means the whole hotel doesn't feel too intrusive on the natural environment and the only noise is the waves crashing and cicadas and occasional monkey scampering. Staff are pleasant and cheerful and happy to help organise trips and excursions.
Food is Sri Lankan focused and all the better for it. It's tasty and authentic trust me I live here. Feel privileged to have been there. Could do with not deferring straight to my husband at check-in and check-out, not least because I booked and paid for it. An early start on holiday? Well , this time it's really worthwhile. The whole ethos of this hotel revolves around the national park and it's amazing wildlife so get up early and into your jeep and start searching.
