The hotel is ideally located within Ella to reach Little Adam’s Peak by foot and to walk or hop onto a short tuk tuk ride to Nine Arches. The scenery from my room was breathtaking- direct sight of the Peak and surrounding mountains. The room was large, clean and had all amenities one could desire. There was a turndown service before bed in case anything additional was desired. I had in-room dining and it came within a reasonable time, was OK in terms of price (comparable to European prices for items ordered) and was delicious. The breakfast buffet is outstanding in terms of options and quality of food and the bar has a lovely location too with great views.

We booked two different rooms as we booked late and the hotel was fully booked. The first room ( deluxe room) lacked character, you could tell it had been put together quickly and cheaply e.g the toilet seat didn’t shut correctly nor did the toilet flush properly. We then moved to a superior double room and wow what a difference. The room was perfect it even had a roll out bed that rolled out onto the balcony. We had our morning coffee in bed outside. I would recommend booking the double room - was worth the money. We didn’t think the deluxe room was worth the money at all.

Wow wow wow! The views at this place are unreal - particularly for our room which I did feel we got a bit lucky with (room 106). The spa was sensational and the rooms themselves were so fabulous and incredible and comfortable and wonderful. The staff who welcome you and look after you throughout your stay, the spa therapists and the breakfast team - everyone is so lovely! Special shout out to Kalana and Dileepa who organised our roll out breakfast in bed which was the most special and ridiculous experience but an absolute must do if you can! It was very surreal. Basically the hotel gives White Lotus without the darkness and we hope to come back again soon! I would also like to say about the welcoming and farewell blessings - they were a gorgeous special touch and I was obsessed! You won’t regret staying here EVER

Literally nothing

Stunning property view, and the team is very attentive and kind. The location is amazing as you have direct access to many activities directly. Breakfast was also impeccable and the staff was extremely well. The food quality was perfect. The spa also gave us a lovely experience. Dinner is coupled with live music and a great selection of different food options.

There were some stray dogs and if you’re not familiar or know them, it might seem a little bit intimidating at night. We also had the impression that when the team comes for the evening service into your room the daily leave the door open as we all the time have had more insects and mosquitoes in the room after they came.

Beautiful property with amazing room views set amongst the hills of Ella with direct access to Little Adam’s peak. The staff are the highlight of this hotel and are willing to do anything to ensure your stay is memorable. The facilities here are also very good and they have an amazing A La carte breakfast with so many options. As newlyweds, the staff also did a special ceremony to wish us luck in our marriage! Hands down the best hotel in Ella, with the most incredible staff!

Hotel is slightly far from the centre of town but then again, you get the best views of Ella.

My stay at 98 Acres Resort & Spa was an absolute dream! From the moment I arrived, I was mesmerized by the stunning location—nestled among lush green tea plantations with breathtaking panoramic views of Ella’s rolling hills. The hospitality here is truly unmatched. The staff is incredibly warm, friendly, and always attentive, making sure every moment of my stay was perfect. What impressed me most was the respect and kindness shown to both guests and the staff, creating a truly welcoming and positive atmosphere. The food was a highlight—every dish was made with locally sourced, fresh ingredients, bringing out the authentic flavors of Sri Lanka. Whether it was breakfast with a view or a delicious dinner under the stars, each meal was a delightful experience. The infinity pool was pure perfection—offering a tranquil space to relax while overlooking the stunning landscape. It was the perfect place to unwind after exploring Little Adam’s Peak and the surrounding nature. Everything about this resort is thoughtfully designed, blending luxury with eco-conscious elements. The beautiful chalets, the attention to detail, and the peaceful surroundings make it an ideal place to reconnect with nature and rejuvenate. I can’t recommend 98 Acres Resort & Spa enough! If you’re looking for a serene, luxurious, and unforgettable retreat in Ella, this is the place to be. I will definitely be coming back!

The property is beautiful nestled amidst stunning tea gardens. The landscape around is equally stunning with green hills and meadows and very pleasant weather! The room was great with excellent mountain views. Overall a great experience!

There was one thing missing - you can't enjoy the fresh air in the room after dark since the rooms don't have mesh windows. And you can't sleep in the fresh air either since the glass windows need to be closed at night for fear of insects and mosquitoes. I think it is absolutely essential to have mesh windows in this kind of property where the main attraction is pleasant weather and fresh air!

The room was spectacular. We stayed in the grand executive suite and it was worth every dollar. The views were the best in Ella and it was just a once in a lifetime experience. The hospitality was phenomenal and Pradeep and Ashan were fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Easily the best room we've stayed in in the world!

Although a minor inconvenience, there was no fan in the bathroom so it got really steamy and damp. We did open the windows to get most of it out but couldn't leave them open for too long because of the mosquitos. Does not take away from the experience though!

The most amazing luxury rooms, with probably the best view I have ever seen from a hotel balcony - across to Little Adam’s Rock and way down the valley. Beautiful food, and wonderful facilities both on-site and in the area, including the tea plantation, zip-line, nine arches bridge, etc., etc… So despite the weather being unkind, with heavy rain through most of our two-day stay, we had a great and memorable time

Nothing! (except the rain - we were unlucky!)

Absolutely stunning location in the mountains of Ella. The views are worth the stay! Breakfast was yummy. The pool is beautiful (very chilly). The massage and spa treatment were wonderful! The location is nice for hiking and a short ride into Ella. The buggies were quick and very helpful. Some of the staff at breakfast were so lovely and kind. I don't think there is a better place to stay in the region!

I wish there were 2 bedroom options for traveling with kids. Some of the staff were absolutely lovely, and some seemed totally uninterested in helping. Our check-in experience was a bit odd and unhelpful. It seems like the resort is going through some expansion. The pool was so cold it didn't seem like anyone could really use it.
