Relaxing Poolside Retreat

“I spent wonderful afternoons by the pool, which was perfectly situated with shades from nearby trees. The serene environment made it an ideal spot to unwind. The nature surrounding the pool added to the relaxing vibe. I also appreciated the option for evening escorts to safely guide me back to my room after dark, which made for a comfortable stay.” view full review

I had an incredible experience at this hotel, which is located right next to Yala National Park. The lush surroundings and wildlife encounters make it truly special. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the dining options were impressive with a great variety of dishes. However, the early morning safari wasn't worth the price for us, and the cost of wine was quite steep due to added taxes.

I had a fantastic two-night stay at Cinnamon Wild, set right in the heart of the forest, surrounded by nature and wildlife. The cozy and clean rooms were a delight, and the attentive staff ensured our safety while adding a friendly touch to our experience. Although the dining options fell a bit short of expectations and the beach wasn't swimmable due to rough tides, the overall ambiance and beautiful surroundings made our trip memorable. The pool area was lovely and relaxing, a great spot to unwind after a day of exploration.

My stay at Cinnamon Wild Yala was a real adventure, surrounded by nature and wildlife. The spacious chalets were beautifully set amidst the wilderness, and the staff went above and beyond to make my visit pleasant. The dining options were delightful with a vast array of choices, but be prepared for the area's isolation if you're hoping to explore beyond Yala National Park. Overall, the experience offers great value, especially for safari enthusiasts.
