Positive: Cinnamon Wild Yala is truly one of the most unforgettable places I have ever stayed. From the very first moment, the experience was exceptional. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring — every request was handled quickly and with a warm smile. You immediately feel that the service here is on a very high level. The hotel’s surroundings are absolutely magical. I even encountered an elephant and a sloth bear right on the property — a once-in-a-lifetime experience! You feel completely connected to nature while still enjoying full safety and comfort. The chalets are fantastic: extremely comfortable mattresses, quiet and efficient air conditioning, and excellent soundproofing. Despite being located among the bushes and jungle, I did not encounter any mosquitoes at all — a huge advantage. Falling asleep and waking up in such harmony was simply incredible. The food deserves special praise. Both dinner and breakfast were outstanding — a wide selection, great quality, everything fresh and delicious. The kitchen here works at an impressive level. Overall, this is easily one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Amazing service, unique wildlife encounters, comfortable chalets, and exceptional dining. I can confidently recommend Cinnamon Wild Yala to anyone who wants an unforgettable experience in Yala.
Negative: Suggestions for Future Improvement Everything was truly excellent, but I would like to share one small recommendation for the future. My car was blocked on the parking lot because another guest left for a full-day safari and could not be contacted. It would be great if the hotel could keep a better record of parked vehicles or collect guests’ contact numbers when they park, so situations like this can be avoided. This is just a small detail — overall, the stay was absolutely perfect.
Summary: Best hotel in the animal park
