Beautiful location and lovely staff
Pros:

What an amazing hotel. We stayed here for a few days towards the end of July, and we will truly not forget it! The location is out of this world, with outstanding views of little Adam's Peak and the hills all around. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, as well as being very clean. Service was amazing, with everyone being really friendly. Special mention to Sathees, Shanish and Dhines, who were incredible and so hospitable. We were especially impressed with the lunchtime food; we won't forget the salads from the pool for a long time! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 98 Acres - thank you!

Exceptional stay in Ella
Pros:

Excellent experience.

Room was beautiful and the views were stunning, you could just sit and look from the balcony all day.

The staff were exceptional. Everyone we dealt with were happy to help without feeling overbearing. Amanda and Imesha at the restaurant provided a great service. I had the Authentic Sri Lanka experience meal and it was delicious as were the hoppers and curry breakfast.

We treated ourselves to a massage and spa experience which was also great. Dulanjani and Jesmi are very skilled masseuses, one of the best massages I’ve had!

Walking distance to little Adam’s Peak (30 mins) and the Nine Arches Bridge (30 mins) and also into Ella main town (30 mins) or a quick tuk tuk.

Only regret is that we didn’t stay longer.

Fantastic hotel and great birdwatching experience
Pros:

This hotel offers a fantastic experience from the beginning to the end. The service is impeccable, the staff is extremely friendly. Great rooms with a stunning view from the balcony. Beautiful swimming pool with a lot of lounge chairs. The food in the restaurant was so good. I also did a one on one birdwatching tour with a true nature specialist, Gayasha. This was such a nice experience, we saw so many beatiful birds, with a lot of extra information, in a fantastic scenery, I would really advice this to everybody that loves the fauna and flora of Sri Lanka. I hope one day to come back here!

Memorable stay in Ella
Pros:

My family stayed two nights in this hotel. Everything was excellent except the buggy service. During rush hours like breakfast/dinner and checkout we had to wait for some time until one arrives. I hope they will improve this in future. We enjoyed the surroundings and great views. The rooms were very spacious and clean. Food and the ambience in the main restaurant was great. Our waiter Hashan provided an excellent service. The morning walk to Little Adam’s peak guided by a hotel staff member was a new experience. The hotel staff were also helpful in arranging two tuk tuks for us to visit the Nine arch bridge. Overall this is a great place to stay in Ella.

Great stay, fantastic views
Pros:

Great hotel with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and tea plantation. Beautiful restaurant and pool area, big luxurious rooms, wonderful friendly staff, and great food both for breakfast and dinner. We loved that the dinner was a set menu and not a buffet. Of all the hotels we visited in SriLanka this was the one we loved the most. I wish we could have stayed at least one more night.

Pros:

A vista do quarto onde ficámos é qualquer coisa de absurdo. Muito lindo mesmo. O quarto é muito grande (exatamente como nas fotografias. A entrada que deram no nosso chek-in foi das melhores coisas que comemos no Sri Lanka. O pequeno almoço é excelente, a localização perfeita e o staff é bastante atencioso sempre a querer saber se está tudo bem.

Cons:

No pequeno almoço demoram um bocado a servir e até se esqueceram do nosso pedido, mesmo depois de termos relembrado duas vezes. Não serviu para manchar a nossa experiência já que a comida estava fantástica e o staff foi sempre muito atencioso.
