"We had two nights at yala safari camping with our two young children. The beauty and views from the main structure are indescribable. Just amazing. The staff are very attentive and tents are stunning. The staff even surprised me with a birthday cake. Then there was the food! This was just amazing. The chef kelum did such an amazing job and was the best food we had on our journey. Our safari was also great. Hugely recommended and worth the money. Thank you mahesh, Ravi, archi, kelum and all the other staff. "

"This is glamping at its best!. We arrived after completing a hot and dusty safari at nearby Yala National Park to be greeted by the friendly staff with cool cloths and welcome drinks. They showed us to our tent which was well appointed, even down to the ensuite bathroom. The staff came and collected us for dinner which was a great experience sitting under the stars with the sound of the bush around us. The food was excellently cooked and served. breakfast was very much the same. We did not use the camp safari services but other people who we spoke to spoke highly of the camp safari service and if our experience in Yala is to go to it is a healthy park with lots of interest. A great stay thank you! "

"as a solo traveler who is a wildlife adventurer and photographer, i decided to stay here because of the location. it is at the yala junction, between tissa and kirinda, just nice if you'd love to visit yala national park to east, and bundala national park to the west. along the way, there are many attractions of interest as well, such as wirawila wewa bird sanctuary, vihara maha devi, kirinda beach, etc. the rate is much cheaper than john keell's chaaya wild (which is close to yala national park). elephant reach can be considered a nice & simple boutique nature resort. the positives are the service quality of the staff, the cleanliness, and the food at the restaurant was great. i came in the off-peak season, so it was just brilliant. not much to complain. it is a recommended hotel to stay for 2, for it is a good value-for-money deal. will return."

"My Husband and I went to Sri Lanka for our 1 year Wedding anniversary. We were doing so much sightseeing we forgot the purpose of our trip until we stayed here. I had mentioned when booking that we would be celebrating our anniversary while staying and they had such lovely and thoughtful surprises for us. We got a really nice cold refreshing ginger ice tea upon arrival. They had gone to the trouble of spelling out their good wishes for us on the bed with coconut tree leaves and later that evening when we had finished our meal, all the waiters, the waitress and manager brought us a specially made anniversary cake with one candle for 1 year married. We got such a surprise I almost got emotional, they all congratulated us, we were so happy. Housekeeping staff were very nice too and noticed we had taken a flower into the room that we liked, the next day he had picked us a bunch and put them in a vase in our room. The room was always very clean, we never needed to ask for anything. I can't say enough good things about this Hotel and their staff. They should be very proud. They made our trip to Sri Lanka very memorable, memories we will cherish."

"We travelled 12 days and stayed in 8 different hotels in Sri Lanka. This one dedinetly made it to the top one. 10 min from Yala National Park entrance, with beach and extremly long pool. The breakfeast was huge and quality of food also for dinner was excellent. We finally again could enjoy good espresso :), which is not always easy travelling through Sri Lanka. Rooms are big, with bathroom nearly the same size as the room. People working in the hotel have been very nice too. Definetly a place to come back again!!!"

"Not good value for money. Far too expensive for what was offered. A strange location with very basic facilities. Overcharged for a very basic breakfast as well. Would have been fine if it was half the price. Be aware that there are snakes that crawl around the cabins. This could be an advantage if you like snakes though. "

"One of the most pleasant stays we had in Sri Lanka. The hotel staff is absolutely wonderful with attention to every detail and possible need you may have. Simple gestures like presenting your welcoming drink and packing your breakfast from your early Yala National Park safari trip made the stay truly memorable. They even provided accommodation for a driver we had hired for our 6-day trip around the island. The place is simple in decor. A palm tree garden divide the two rows of rooms, terminating with a small pool for a dip after a sweltering safari trip. There is also a spa available in the resort offering ayuvedic treatments. Internet is available only in the lobby."

"We only stayed in Cinnamon Wild for 1 night. Its one of the most popular hotels in Yala National Park so it is packed with groups and tourists from all over. If you are not into that, you better skip it! You are surrounded by nature and animal so it is very relaxing. It is located in the middle of the National Park so it was convenient to start a Safari from there (you can book at the hotel or anywhere else around it). The hotel gave a room free of charge to our driver - which is quite common in Sri Lanka - and a discount on the food. You are advised not to leave your room alone after 6pm to avoid encountering wild animals. The food.. International Buffet for dinner. Not great but good enough. It is the most expensive hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka though. I believe it is because of Yala being one of the most popular tourist spots in the country. "

"Pros; very practical and good attention to detail in bedrooms making this one of the best hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka. They even have proper plastic towel racks so that we don't have to hang stuff all over the place, rooms and toilets are brightly lit, clean white walls and tiles so that any mosquitoes can't hide, good wifi in rooms, comfortable beds, clean and new place., friendly and helpful staff. Cons: no kettle in room, no lift to 2nd level, be careful of steps if you have older folks in your Travelling group - quite a few steps in the corridors and pathways , not much dining option here."
