Our stay at Cinnabar Resort was absolutely memorable, set within a beautiful property that truly embraces nature. The rooms did have their charm, but we faced some confusion with our booking, which impacted our experience. The staff was kind and attentive, ensuring we felt welcome throughout our trip. While the location was stunning, the beach right in front wasn't the best for swimming. Overall, it's a perfect spot for those wishing to relax and enjoy the surrounding environment, but be cautious about specific room selections.

The treehouse we booked was charming and clean, though we were disappointed that it did not match the pictures we saw during booking. Despite our excitement, we didn't get the balcony and sea view we expected.

The resort is perfectly secluded, surrounded by nature and a short walk to the town. However, the beach nearby isn't ideal for swimming due to rocks and waves, which was a bit disappointing.

We had a unique and enjoyable experience at this resort, especially with the distinct treehouse concept. The stunning beach views and the cleanliness of the facilities stood out as positives. However, some aspects of the dining experience didn't meet our expectations, and the staff could have been more personable in their service.
Rooms

We stayed in both the New Tree House and The Peacocks Nest. The New Tree House had a fantastic sea view but was a bit open to nature, which might not suit everyone. The Peacocks Nest was more spacious with glass windows, making it more comfortable for sleeping.

While the front of house manager was excellent and welcoming, I found that some interactions with the staff were overly familiar. This could be balanced better to enhance the guest experience.

I had an unforgettable experience at this resort! The treehouses are beautifully designed, offering a magical connection to nature while ensuring privacy. The dining options were excellent, particularly the Sri Lankan specialties. Although the beachfront was lovely, I had to walk a bit to find a safe swimming spot. Overall, I found it to be a unique getaway, but the openness of the treehouses may be a concern for some.

I absolutely fell in love with this resort! Nestled in a serene jungle setting, it offered a cozy atmosphere unmatched anywhere else. My stay here was a highlight of my trip, thanks to the fabulous treehouse accommodations and attentive staff. The only downside was that swimming was a bit tricky due to waves and rocks, but the serenity of the beach made up for it. I genuinely hope to return someday!

Cinnabar resort is a beautiful place with rustic charm and a peaceful atmosphere right on the beachfront. The rooms are stylishly designed and offer a unique experience, while the dining was delightful, featuring a variety of delicious dishes. However, it's a bit challenging to swim directly from the beach due to the strong waves, and the service, although friendly, could benefit from a bit more attention. Overall, this place is worth a visit for a calm and picturesque getaway.

The resort is set on a stunning beach, providing a tranquil environment with beautiful sunsets; however, it is located a bit deeper into the bay, which might require some travel to reach other attractions.
