Pros:

View is amazing, ruling bed is fun to take photos

Cons:

Balcony with the bed is not separated in any way from the surrounding people and staff. There should be trees , at least, to make it more private.

Also I hate when hotel charges x10 price for taxi. Tuktuk to the railway station costs 200 rupees, premier taxi 1500 rupees - hotel has charged 2000 rupees for tuktik. This is just a disrespect.

Switch off ,relax and enjoy the breathtaking beauty on your doorstep.
Pros:

Amazing location with terrific stunning views .. overwhelming feeling of peace and tranquility.. all the staff were amazing on every level.Food was very good and very good value ..be prepared to relax and switch off to get the most out of this beautiful property.. the lovely welcoming ceremony and leaving blessing was beautifully performed by Kalani from the front office was charming .. and Sudarshan in the restaurant was very kind and helpful.

Cons:

It’s a good walk or tuk tuk into Ella .. but that is part of the attraction to this property .. I found this to be a bonus as Ella town is quite hectic.

Ein top Hotel beim Little Adams Peak
Pros:

Wir hatten eine mega Poolvilla mit einer traumhaften Aussicht auf den Little Adams Peak und den Ella Rock.
Das Spa hat alles übetroffen, ich hatte eine Chillout Behandlung mit Öl-Massage, Stempelmassage und einem abschliessenden Bad auf der Terrasse. Es war so friedlich und entspannend. Die schönste Aussicht in einem Spa die ich je hatte.

Cons:

Alles top.

Amazing - would definitely stay again but hoping for more reasonable Sri Lankan dishes on the menu
Pros:

Beautiful hotel - rooms are gorgeous, beds are comfortable. Staff are amazing. We stayed in the two bedroom villa which was gorgeous. Very well maintained, stunning views.

Cons:

I think the restaurant is too bright and lacks atmosphere. The curry option was double everything else and I think too expensive. There should be more information available such as options to get to the nine arch bridge and back. Also needed some good recommendations for dinner options.

The place to stay when in Ella!
Pros:

What an amazing resort. We had a 2 bedroom Villa with 3 balconies. it was as large as a house, fully furnished with everything you would need. the whole property is immaculate. The welcome staff to the restaurant staff were all too happy to provide exceptional service. They were all so polite & soft spoken. I would rather stay at 98 Acres than at a Four Seasons Hotel. Very clean with awesome views.

Kokemisen arvoinen paikka, mutta ylihinnoiteltu. Huoneet ovat meluisat eikä ilmastointia.
Pros:

Sijainti on ihana, maisema huoneista on kaunis ja rauhoittava. Huoneet ovat kauniisti sisustettuja ja palvelu ystävällistä. Siivous ja huonepalvelu erinomaista.

Cons:

Majoituin 2 eri huoneessa ja molemmat huoneista olivat meluisia. Alakerrassa majoittuvien ihmisten puhe ja elämisen äänet kuuluivat todella selkeästi seinien läpi sekä musiikki. Tämä häiritsi aamu- ja ilta-aikaan rentoutumista. Myös huoneen ulkopuolella kulkevien työntekijöiden äänet ja työskentely kuului todella selvästi. Huoneissa ei ole ilmalämpöpumppua. Ja hinta-laatu suhde ei täysin kohtaa. Hinnoista voisi mielestäni tiputtaa heti 50% pois, jotta vastaisi paremmin hinta-laatu suhdetta.

A must if visiting Ella
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with amazing views of the mountains. Great staff, very friendly and accommodating. Our room was amazing and the private heated pool was the highlight of our trip. The location is excellent. Everything that there is to do at Ella is walking distance, including trails to 9 Arches Bridge, the Ravana adventure park and pool club, and the heart of Ella town.

Cons:

There is only one restaurant and the menu is the same all the time. The ambience during the night at the restaurant is also very quiet and with bright lights, so it made it a bit boring to have our dinners there. Luckily the Ella town is 5min away by tuk tuk so there were many more interesting options.

Relaxing stay in beautiful but touristy Ella
Pros:

An incredible view and concept. To wake up and shower to that view is incredible.
Yoga was the best o have done and cannot recommend highly enough.
The food was lovely and breakfast lovely but did not enjoy the hot selection.
Pina colada the best I have had.
Room staff so attentive and clean.
Thank you for all your kindness.
My only real criticism is reception as it felt too business like

Amazing views with helpful staff.
Pros:

We had a wonderful three nights, and our room had a stunning view. We experienced an hours yoga session with Akhila at sunset which we would highly recommend. He is extremely experienced and supportive. We also had a tuk tuk guide called Dewon again who we would highly recommend. He guided us up Ella Rock and made sure we were at the railway bridge on time to see the train.

Cons:

The expensive room service drinks.
