More than anything the view! Stunning! The rooms are clean, wonderful staff. Massage with Sherima to die for…..And Mihiran English and voice projection is perfect.
This was our second time staying at 98 Acres. The Resort and its facilities are wonderful but the staff at 98 Acres are absolutely amazing. They are always cheerful, welcoming, helpful and full of knowledge and pride both in their work and to guests. Thanks heaps. We hope to visit 98 Acres again!
Lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings with stunning views. Our room was excellent with large terrace. It is out of Ella but easy to get TukTuks there and back.
This hotel is just amazing, the views from the rooms is second to none. The service is so good from the minute you arrive, they welcome you and make you feel at home. The beds are super comfortable & the amenities are great. Location is perfect as it’s right by little Adam peak and not far from the Ella town. One of our highlights was going up Adam peak & Ella rock with the in house naturalist - Gaya. He was absolutely brilliant and helpful in not only guiding us, but also showing us all the natural wildlife in the area along the way. He was so helpful and kind, and we would recommend anyone going for one of the excursions with him!
98 Acres Resort & Spa is an amazing place, with its beautiful location, fantastic staff taking care of you 24/7, and delicious food. The hotel and rooms were big and very clean, and the pool area is amazing with its view of the mountains. My family and I had a really great time, and we were able to relax and get in zen mode. I can highly recommend this place for everything it has!
We had amazing stay here. Amazing staff. Indika (server) & Dewan (hiking guide) stood out for us, top notch service. Food is okay at the restaurant but they have good selection of the breakfast in the morning. I highly recommend this place. This resort is literally inside tea plantation and you have little Adam Rock view right from the hotel.
Too short a trip. Wonderful hotel that greets and sees you off with a blessing. Spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean room with fabulous views over little Adam's peak, which is easily accessed from here. Staff are wonderful. Short car or tuk tuk ride, or 20 min walk, to see the 9 arch bridge and arrival of the train. Ella town below is a buzzing young person's town, good places to eat or meet friends.
We stayed a night on our ‘honeymoon tour’ of Sri Lanka and it was really amazing! The hotel is beautiful and the view incredible! The food was delicious and the staff were so kind and attentive. It was just the taste of luxury we were hoping for! We did a couples spa treatment - think it’ll be hard to ever beat that experience, a stunning view and beautiful bird song / nature sounds whilst having a heavenly massage! We’ll always have such lovely memories of our stay.
The most tranquil setting I have ever stayed in, the views are amazing, the staff are tentative especially the restaurant and room teams.
A short tuk tuk ride into Ella, a perfect luxury base to see all that Ella has to offer.
Sensational!!
Relaxing 2 nights. The views are incredible. Easy access to Little Adams Peak. A short tuktuk to 9 arches bridge or town centre.
Breakfast wonderful with lovely fruit and other good choices. Dinner good.
The only negative is that the pool is in a sister resort club which requires entry fee.
We had a wonderful time at this resort. Beautiful views from our balcony. The bathroom was luxurious and all staff were very helpful. The food was delicious at all mealtimes with lots of variety. The only fault was the pool club closed early on an evening but overall an amazing e pedirnos and would recommend this hotel.
98 Acres is a stunning resort. Incredible views from everywhere. Huge rooms with big terraces overlooking the mountains and tea plantation, lovely pool, great breakfast and very attentive staff. We had massages in the spa which was lovely and very peaceful. It's very easy to get a tuktuk into Ella, which is a really lovely place with loads to do. Definitely recommend the zip line and walk up to Little Adam's Peak. We also visited the Ravana Pool Club for a drink after the zip line which was also lovely.
Had a great stay over Christmas eve and Christmas day at the resort. Property was impeccable with amazing views. Very well appointed rooms. Breakfast buffet spread was extensive, with fresh cut fruits sliced up on demand and hot items cooked upon order.
Dileep our housekeeper also made sure that our rooms, our kids and us were well taken care of during our stay. The best hotel we stayed at through our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. Highly recommended and definitely worth the long trip it took to get to Ella just for this stay!
Spacious, comfortable, room with a great view. Good service throughout the hotel, bar the restaurant. The desk staff were particularly helpful. Breakfast was excellent.
The suggestion that the hotel has a pool is at best disingenuous. There is no pool in the hotel grounds, but there is one a couple of hundred metres away, which can be used by hotel guests - and the public - at a cost of about £20 per day.
Magical location, on a hilly tea estate staring out at the view of the Gap, Little Adam's Peak, etc. It's impossible to capture the view in words/photos really but is quite stunning and hit us both in the evening (while lounging in the great pool) and then the next morning as we headed to breakfast. Also had a great dawn hike up Adam's Peak and an excellent yoga session (on the hotel's helipad!) that are worth doing if they are the sort of things that appeal to you!
The view at this hotel was unbeatable. Other Than the crazy amount of stairs you have to climb to go to the pool or restaurant everything was amazing. Not wheelchair friendly.
What a Beautiful hotel with wonderful views. Staff very friendly and helpful. Fantastic food. But beware Sri Lankan curries can be very hot. Ps the photos on the website do not do the hotel justice. Would highly recommend. Some of the rooms are a long way from the restaurant pool area , but the hotel provide an efficient golf buggy service, so not a problem.
