Pros:

L’accueil, la gentillesse du personnel, tout le monde est très attentionné.
La salle de jeux avec le baby foot pour les enfants.
Les repas sont très bons.
La chambre est très spacieuse et la vue superbe.

Cons:

Il manque un peu de rangements et de lumière dans la salle de bain pour un 5 étoiles.
Dommage que la piscine ne soit pas chauffée pour qu’on puisse en profiter quelle que soit la saison.

Un passo di pace nella giungla.
Pros:

Il Melheim è un posto incredibile, abbarbicato sul crinale della collina, incastonato nella splendida giungla circostante. La vista ed i dintorni sono molto belli. L’ambiente del resort è molto curato, probabilmente rinnovato di recente. La nostra camera era stupenda, spaziosa ed estremamente pulita. Il cibo è delizioso, e ci sono opzioni per tutti i palati e per tutte le età. Il personale è sempre stato attento alle nostre esigenze, disponibile, paziente ed amichevole con i nostri bimbi. All’interno della proprietà è possibile fare un breve trekking per raggiungere una bella cascata e fare birdwatching, percorso non adatto a bimbi troppi piccoli, meglio avere calze anti sanguisughe.
Un posto speciale che ci resterà nel cuore.

Cons:

Niente

360 panoramic view blend with Luxury and Nature♥️
Pros:

hidden treasure! was wonderful and a private getaway in the mountains of Sri Lanka! You really feel like you’re up in the clouds, as the views from your balcony and the breakfast at restaurant are breathtaking. All of the staff that I interacted with were so warm and genuine and kind. The food was delicious and service was fantastic. If you’re taking the train, the resort is a short drive from the train station Haputhale, but about an hour drive from the main town of Ella/Nine Arch Bridge/Adam’s Peak given with windy one lane mountain road. But, highly recommend!

Nice location but need little improvement.
Pros:

Great stay. Nice location. Friendly staff.

Cons:

I know that haputale is somewhat cold area but if the room does have air condition, it will add more value to the room just in case of hot weather. Everything else is fine.

Ok
Pros:

Beautiful location and views. Peaceful stay.

Cons:

Upon check in, the staff had allocated me the wrong rooms. I had booked three mountain view rooms and instead was given two forest views (a downgrade) and one mountain view. Upon brining it up the staff insisted that I go with these rooms but pay the price of three mountain view rooms. After a lot of backs and fourths I was finally given the rooms I had booked and paid for, only in seperate areas to each other. Since I had booked weeks in advance I expected our rooms to be at least allocated together as we were travelling with babies.

Upon checking out the staff got my name wrong and was billing me someone else’s amount, which was three times the amount I was supposed to pay. I had shared my room number but they still got it wrong. Had I not checked the bill vigilantly I would have paid three times the amount I should have.

A true gem in the heart of a bird refuge

Truly the staff is the highlight of this beautiful property. The restaurant service, the housekeeping, everyone is lovely and top notch. I love the room, this is the 5th or more time I've stayed here over the years and it keeps its quality, the rooms are beautiful, the views are absolutely incredible and again, the staff is the best!

Gorgeous mountain, serene energy. A very calming experience.
Pros:

The staff were beautiful people, very helpful and accommodating. The views are splendid. The FOOD IS THE BEST PART. Amazing buffets, im usually not a fan of buffet, but they were real good.
They spoil you rotten. I felt like being within the property only instead of going out.

Cons:

Nothing. I had to leave, that's what I didn't like :D

Mid-range hotel outside of Haputale
Pros:

The hotel is a decidedly mid-range hotel (despite the price tag indicating otherwise). It's not a boutique hotel. The property is a bit tired. The housekeeping and restaurant service is mostly very good (and was the highlight of our stay), the reception less so. Another highlight was the walk to Lipton's Seat, the start of which was an hour by tuktuk from the hotel.
