10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at Cinnamon Lodge and will be back. The hotel setting is lovely - on huge grounds with plenty of wildlife. The pool is great and the breakfast / lunch / dinner is full of choice and good quality. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful but a shoutout goes to Wasantha who made our stay extra special. Would definitely recommend this hotel."
