Great place
We had a great stay at 98 Acres Resort & Spa. The place is beautiful with a stunning view. The staff were very attentive, and we loved the varied and delicious breakfast. However, considering the price, we were a little disappointed with the room, which was very simple and rather small. The pool could also benefit from being heated

Una bella esperienza
Questo resort e' considerato il migliore della zona. E' un 5 stelle, ma non ai livelli europei. Le camere necessiterebbero di essere ristrutturate. Resta comunque una bella struttura in una bella posizione. Una considerazione a parte e' per il personale, che merita un dieci e lode. Personale sorridente, cortese. Bravi bravi bravi

Bed rolls outside!
We had the room where the bed rolls out onto the balcony. Was fantastic in the morning looking straight at Little Adams Peak.

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.

What fantastic views!
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.

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.

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!

Luxurious hotel just outside Ella.
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.
