We had a wonderful time in this beautiful and peaceful property. The spacious rooms have a fantastic view and we loved the restaurant offering yummy and fresh food - loved the freshly cut fruit at the breakfast 💚 I would say the biggest highlight are the experiences offered by the hotel with their experienced and amazing naturalist guide Sudheerah who brought us around in a beautiful walk and shared many interesting insights about the the nature and the wildlife here. We highly recommend to take these tours if you come here as it makes a big difference vs going where everyone else goes!! The staff is very very nice and welcoming and we are really grateful for the beautiful hospitality

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Fantastic

Excellent resort with beautiful views, staff were very friendly and helpful. The only issue I had was that on a couple of occasions we had to wait for the buggy between 20 - 30 minutes. They do state that the maximum wait time is 20 minutes, I feel this should be no more than 10 minutes maximum, it is quite a walk from the villa to the main part of the hotel.

A strange property - fantastic views and really nice rooms, but no air conditioning was a poor omission, meaning it was too hot in the rooms. 98 Acres is a confused resort ie half of the recreation area is an Ibiza style pool and bar area with a DJ and booming music, but its right next to the "Vip" club which we were allowed into, but there were no seats available so we ended up not using it. This made it a very expensive resort. There is a zipline and swing on the resort so you are sharing everything with the public. Views - are amazing. Ella is beautiful and 98 acres makes the most of it Spa - didnt use but walked past it - it looked so uninviting but may be better when the building work has finished . Food - menu was mixed but very good food overall. Breakfast was very nice with a good choice. Staff are amazing as they are Sri Lankan people who must be the nicest in the world We would'nt return but we were pleased that we saw Ella
