Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Cinnamon Lodge Habarana is often described as a beautiful hotel nestled amidst lush greenery, offering a refreshing and immersive nature experience. Guests frequently praise the spacious and well-appointed rooms, some with lovely lake views where monkeys can be spotted, in addition to sightings of Malabar Pied Hornbills near the pool. The grounds are expansive, perfect for walks around little bridges and lakes; some guests have noted that it can be a bit of a walk to get around the large property.

amazing experience!

safari team penny cost elephant family real dedication
i loved the in-house safari team it was worth every penny the knowledge they shared about the park allowed us to avoid the many other jeeps we spotted elephants at a watering hole all by ourselves we left the park last after viewing peacocks mongoose eagles and kingfishers i cannot describe how great it was. the team showed real dedication. the memory will last forever.
the minibar checking process depends on housekeeping and mistakes can occur. i think confirmation in person would ensure accuracy and fairness.
Service
