Great location, very close to Minneriya Safari. Has a nice jungle vibe, surrounded by monkeys and Toucans. The accommodation and food is decent. We booked four people, but the staff tried to claim that we only get 3 beds. It was quickly resolved and they added an extra bed to the room.

Staff at the reception and dining hall are exceptional, extremely courteous and professional. Especially, a staff at the dining Navodya Dilshani is extremely helpful. Property is clean, relaxing but buildings need touch up throughout. Would visit again for their hospitality and selection of BF buffet.

We stayed in one of their two stories suites two bedrooms with living room and three bathrooms with a dedicated butler for our three nights stay. We are very greatful for all friendly support from our butler Asanka and he did a such an excellent job. Asanka made sure everything very comfortable and made such a great experience stay from checking in process, restaurant reservations, laundry facilities, out door tours and arrangements in the suite and all the way to final check out process. We cannot thank you enough for what Asanka did for us during our stay. Also I must thank a lot for all the housekeeping service by Sandeep and Heshan, they did a great job inside our suite cleaning and arranging everything to top class service. Thank you for all your service, we will be back at your resort next time.

This property is outstanding. We stayed in the deluxe suite with our family of four for four nights in total. The kids loved every minute of our stay. The food, the staff, in particular our butler “Asanka” who was the most attentive, caring, polite and just all round wonderful person. Asanka made our stay so enjoyable and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him. The chefs were also so friendly and helpful and we also enjoyed our chats with them at each meal time, they also spoilt the kids with special meals, snacks and even gave them a tour of the kitchen and taught them a thing or two. We will be back! Thankyou once again Cinnamon Lodge.

Wonderful resort

This is truly an outstanding hotel in Sri Lanka. The resort spreads out along a large lake with view points in the trees with views that will take your breath away - one evening we could hear the elephants on the other side of the lake - wonderful The entire area is well laid out with brick pathways taking in every inch so walking along these well maintained routes is lovely after an evening meal. The restaurant is fabulous with at least 5 separate areas of food laid out for everyone to try. I would like to mention Thakshila who took amazing care of me and introduced me to various new taste sensations - some were “different” but most were delicious. The pool is huge and the staff were welcoming and attentive. All in all my stay at Cinnamon Lodge was outstanding. If you visit Habarana - there really is only one place to stay

Good location but hotel is rather tired

This hotel is well located for important sites near Habarana. It has extensive grounds, a large pool and looks onto a lake. However, our "superior" room was very tired. Given the price, we were very disappointed. The hotel was full of tourist groups when we stayed. Breakfast and dinner were buffets. There was plenty of choice but some of the dishes were disappointing. There were quite a number of wild dogs in the grounds, chasing monkeys the day we left. The night before our departure we went to reception to settle our bill and waited while the final restaurant bill was added. But in the morning, they stopped us, saying they had forgotten items, which seemed disorganised. This delayed us. Overall, the hotel is rather old now and we felt we paid a lot for a very medicre experience. We stayed in much nicer hotels for less. It was also irritating that they add taxes and service of about a third to all the drink and snack prices quoted on the menu. We preferred other hotels which included them in the quoted price.

I booked with them deluxe room with king bed ocean view, they tried to give me garden view and they were trying to convince me it is the best room in the hotel, my friend discovered that the room was garden view, when we told them, they took us to an ocean view room with with single beds, they tried to put the 2 beds togethers with 2 Matterses with 2 covers. I was so upset because they were trying to cheat me, I asked them for king bed or upgrade with king bed, they gave me the upgrade with king bed. Please be careful because I noticed that all the hotels they will try to give you room less than what you paid for.
