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.

This is the best resort in Ella, with great views, nice meals, and helpful staff. It's of impressive quality. Once you’re there and you’re a wildlife aficionado, make sure to book the bird-watching tour with Sam. The guy is a fantastic guide, skilled bird spotter, and wildlife expert. We’ve spotted several endemic Lankan species. His tour is an absolute “must.” I also highly recommend yoga sessions with Akila. Practicing yoga in such a tranquil setting, surrounded by greenery and the soothing sounds of nature, was restorative and unforgettable. It’s the perfect way to connect even more deeply with the serene atmosphere of the place. Akila was just great!

Beautiful hotel and surroundings, the views are stunning. Rooms are clean, with everything that you need and are turned over twice a day. Hotel restaurant is lovely, great selection of breakfasts. Drinks menu is slightly on the expensive side, however has a brilliant selection. Would recommend the spa which was absolutely brilliant and really good value for money Great location, walking distance to zip line, Little Adams Peak, Nine Arch bridge. Short tuk tuk ride into Ella.

No AC, but has a good ceiling fan We were put off by the price of some of the excursions and extras eg $60USD for a couple for one Yoga session We definitely would have done lots more of these if prices were more reasonable, as they have a good selection

From the moment we arrived at 98 Acres, we were surrounded by nature’s beauty and genuine warmth. The property is an enchanting escape, immersed in lush greenery with breathtaking views from the room that make you never want to leave. Every single member of the staff greets you with a smile and makes you feel truly at home. A special mention to Sam, the resident biologist, who guided me on an incredible birdwatching session — in just two hours we spotted more than 30 bird species, thanks to his impressive knowledge and sharp eye that made it possible for me to identify them all. Another heartfelt thanks to Dewan, who made the trek to Adam’s Peak unforgettable. The restaurant is exceptional — every meal was a delight, both in flavor and presentation. Combined with the panoramic scenery, it’s the perfect setting for relaxing after a day of exploration. If you’re in Ella, this place is more than just a stay — it’s an experience you’ll carry in your heart.

A beautiful resort surrounded by nature — the views from the rooms are absolutely breathtaking and peaceful. The staff were incredibly attentive and caring, making us feel truly welcomed throughout our stay. The food was excellent, and the live music in the evening added a lovely touch to the atmosphere. Still, it’s a fantastic place to unwind and connect with nature — we’d love to come back!

Unfortunately, the pool was under maintenance during our visit, which was a bit disappointing. Also, the road leading to the resort is quite rough and tiring to travel. No AC in the rooms

The resort is truly exceptional: The views are beautiful as well as the interior design of the huts. The area is very quiet and peaceful and the staff is very kind, accommodating and thoughtful. Whatever we needed, they were there to help: ordering transportation, organising activities etc. The rooms and other premises of the resort were kept immaculately clean and neat! The restaurant’s menu is very well rounded providing both traditional Sri Lankan and other dishes from all around the world. We tried the Spa as well, the full body massage worth every penny! Hands down the resort made our trip even more memorable, would definitely return!

No such a thing!

Incredible views from the room which made it very special, we stayed in the Honeymoon room, with the bath a great addition. Breakfast was delicious, with a la carte and buffet. Short walk into town and very close to Little Adam’s Peak & Nine Arches bridge. The Sri Lankan treats in the evening turn down were a nice touch.

Despite being deemed a luxury hotel there were stray dogs roaming all around the hotel including the restaurants, on one night a dog jumped up on me and my partner, grabbed/bit onto my handbag and followed us all the way to the room which was very uncomfortable - the staff were reactive and apologetic but didn’t have a solution so if you’re not a dog lover this is not the place for you. Another improvement area is the road up to the hotel which hasn’t been paved making for an uncomfortable and bumpy entry to the hotel in a car and Tuktuk.

98 Acres is luxury accommodation at luxury prices. It’s stunning views, beautiful accommodation, wonderful staff and food are a delight. I loved the views from room 104 in one of the peak shaped houses nearer the restaurant it was so calming listening to the wildlife in the morning just stunning. It’s also in walking distance to 9 Arch bridge and not far to Yala National park.

I was disappointed that on day one the turn down service was a lovely touch with an evening sweet treat. However on day 2 there was no service or room tidy they hadn’t checked the mini bar to see what I’d used didn’t replenish my water or empty bins, no treat in the evening and one of my blinds was broken that couldn’t be reopened after they closed it at turn down the night before. That was a shame as it felt like all the effort was on the arrival then they lost interest in ensuring consistent luxury service. I also had to chase my laundry at 10pm when it promised its return same day as a regular service. There is a lot of expensive ration on tipping too when I think prices are expensive to book the location and are likely already included.

The reception, welcome, room itself and service was very nice, the views from our type of room was incredible, the touch of nature is amazing, everybody tried to be nice and very helpful, the quality of the food at the dinner was nice, even the chef came over to ask about the taste, and with nice live music, the spa and views they offered been one of the best i have ever experienced

during the dinner some drunk lady tried to sing karaoke and interrupted live music which was disaster, for a while it was fun, but then it happened again and nobody stopped her, you do not pay this price per night to be bothered by guest which cannot behave, and secondly even worse was the quality of the breakfast - at the special rate 50usd they charge roll-out breakfast and it was the worst breakfast experience in whole sri lanka, we booked the breakfast for 9.00am, they came 8.45 like we came to prepare the room, nobody informed us they will come sooner or whatever, so we quickly rushed to get ready for somebody to come-in, they came later again but the food they served was served low warm, and not exactly what we ordered, and the taste was average, really pity for this place
