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.

Well kept chalets nicely designed. Attentive staff, but check-in was slow. Road to the property could be improved for those arriving by small cars.

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
