Delicious Breakfast Delights

I absolutely loved the breakfast at Cinnabar Resort! Each morning, a generous spread featuring fresh fruit, local Sri Lankan specialties, and good options like coconut pancakes greeted us. It truly set the tone for a fantastic day ahead! The quality and variety of the meals were really good, surpassing all my expectations for hotel dining.

Charming Tree House

Staying in the tree house was an lovely experience! The room was clean and equipped with a safe and a fridge. Plus, the stunning ocean view from the little terrace made every moment special. I loved relaxing in the hammock, soaking in the surroundings and the gentle sea breeze. It's a perfect spot for a romantic getaway!

Refreshing Pool Escape

The pool at Cinnabar Resort was a breath of fresh air! After spending time on the beach, jumping into the crystal-clear pool was the perfect way to cool off. The pool area was well-maintained, providing a tranquil atmosphere where I could unwind. It was a lovely place to enjoy a leisurely afternoon.

Unique Outdoor Shower

I adored the bathroom setup in our tree house, especially the unique outdoor shower! The experience of showering surrounded by nature was refreshing and added to the overall charm of my stay. The warm water and natural stone design made it feel like a luxurious spa retreat right in the heart of nature.

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 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.

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.

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.
