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.

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.

Lovely relaxing stay

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.

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.

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!

Overall a wonderful stay and would absolutely come again! Beautiful resort with absolutely stunning views and rooms. Spa is fairly priced and excellent. Location very near little Adam’s peak makes for a convenient sunrise walk. Staff all around very good and made the stay welcoming. Some things to be improved: While restaurant food is good, the prices are extortionate and we ended up eating majority of meals in local Ella for a fraction of the price. Due to the size of the resort, transport via buggy is often required and we found this service to be quite inconsistent (especially during periods of rain where everyone in the resort requires a buggy). While the hotel has umbrellas in the room, it would be nice to also get an umbrella if stuck in another location (such as the restaurant) during a downpour.
