Beautiful Views
Pros:

The Front Office Manager Pragash was absolutely lovely and very helpful. The restaurant has a great view and the food was lovely. They assisted in organising not just the activities but also a lovely transfer to my next destination.

Bonus for those who are dog lovers, their resident dogs kuku and (I'll call him) brown are so well mannered and give you great quiet company during a meal!

Cons:

The spa was a little underwhelming. After having heard so many reviews about it being a must visit, the short experience I had at the spa was disappointing. It was very hot and given it was a fairly dry / humid day with no wind it got very uncomfortable. The treatment itself was alright but the little flies and uncomfortable chair makes you want to rush to get out of there!

Great hotel, helpful staff but not value for money
Pros:

Beautiful hotel, great location

Cons:

The room was beautiful but it had no air conditioner, only a fan so it was hot sometimes. Also for the price they charge the service and attention to details could be better.

The best hotel!
Pros:

A huge thank you to Satheesh at the pool for providing such excellent service and taking great care of us. He was so polite and kind. In fact, all the staff at the hotel are wonderful, and it is truly because of him and a few other staff members that we will return to this place. We highly recommend this hotel to everyone

Pekoe trail stage 16 hike
Pros:

We recently completed a hike along the Pekoe Trail and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The scenery was absolutely stunning tea plantations, quiet village paths, and misty hill sections that made the whole trek feel peaceful and immersive.

A extra special mention goes to our guide, Gayash, who truly elevated the experience. He was extremely knowledgeable about the trail, local flora and birds aswell as the history of the tea estates along the way. He paced the hike perfectly, making sure everyone was comfortable while still keeping the journey engaging and insightful. His friendly nature and attention to detail made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout with our mid trail break with some snacks and tea.

Overall, it was a memorable hike that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sri Lanka, especially with Gayash as your guide.

The Kind of Guide Every Traveler Hopes For!
Pros:

Gayasha took us on the 98 Acres Tea Trail Tour, and his knowledge of both the natural environment and the tea-making process was absolutely captivating. This was, without question, the highlight of our stay in Ella, and days later we still can’t stop talking about it. It’s the kind of experience that leaves a lasting impression and becomes one of the memories you treasure most from a trip.

What made it even more special was Gayasha himself. He was incredibly friendly, engaging, and informative, with a genuine passion for what he does. He also had a very caring nature, and we felt exceptionally well looked after from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better guide, and we would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ella.

A truly unforgettable stay at 98 Acres Resort & Spa!
Pros:

Our experience at 98 Acres Resort & Spa in Sri Lanka was absolutely amazing from the moment we arrived until the very last minute. The resort itself is breathtaking — surrounded by stunning nature, peaceful views, beautiful villas, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel completely connected to the beauty of Sri Lanka.

Everything was well organized, clean, elegant, and full of charm. The location is magical, the service was excellent, and every detail made our stay feel special and memorable.

A very special thank you to Chamod, who welcomed us in such a warm, professional, and beautiful way. His kindness, smile, and genuine hospitality made a wonderful first impression. He was also the one who assisted us during check-out, and once again he was extremely helpful, respectful, and attentive. Chamod truly represents the high standard of hospitality at 98 Acres Resort & Spa. He made us feel welcomed, valued, and very well taken care of.

It is rare to meet someone who leaves such a positive impression from both the beginning and the end of a stay, but Chamod truly did. His professionalism and beautiful attitude added so much to our experience.

Thank you to the entire team at 98 Acres Resort & Spa for an unforgettable stay. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. It is the perfect place for relaxation, nature, luxury, and exceptional hospitality. We would definitely love to come back again!
