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

This resort is an interesting concept. If we had known it was under construction we’d have made alternate statements though. The food at the restaurant was certainly needing improvement. The staff was very kind and courteous. The main pool was closed due to Reno’s and you were required to go next door.

A beautiful hotel with wonderful views
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.

Breathtaking views, rooms were spacious and accommodating, overall stay was amazing. Staff service was exceptional, there is room for improvement for certain facilities, for instance, the pool hours should be extended, clear signs/instructions for different facilities that’s available for 98 Acres guests ( it was a bit confusing with Ravana pool club vs. the restaurant and pool for hotel guests) and food can be better (more options and overall quality). Thank you for your hospitality.

One of the best places we've ever stayed
This was one of the best places we've ever stayed at. We had a group of 4 adults and 4 children, so we got two side by side 2 bedroom family suites with pools. The views were incredible from everywhere in the resort. We stayed two nights. The food was great. Rose was wonderful with our check in and check out and our butler Freddy was perfect. Freddy always had a big smile and was always available to help us with anything. One thing to be aware of is that these accommodations are luxurious while remaining appropriately rustic for the jungle environment. That means you'll have wildlife visiting around and maybe even in your room. We had a squirrel get into our room somehow, which Freddy helped chase out, and you'll be sharing space with geckos and other little critters. This was fine for us and we were accustomed to it from Costa Rica, Thailand and similar places we've visited. After all, we're in their environment, not the other way around. As long as you're ok with rustic luxury, I can't recommend 98 Acres enough

Beautiful views and good service
We had booked a Premium Mountain view room for 3 nights as part of our trip around Sri Lanka. The hotel is located about a 5-10 minute drive outside of central Ella near the 9 Arch Bridge and Flying Ravina. Check in was quick and we were taking by golf buggy to our room. Rooms are large with a great view of Little Adams Peak. The rooms don't have air conditioning, but a ceiling fan above the bed which did help to keep the room cool - however we were only given 1 room card which meant each time we left the room the electric turned off and was slow to cool down again. The room was clean and had a very large bed, a very small wardrobe with a safe, a TV and sofa area and a desk area with plug sockets. Bathroom contained a toilet, large shower with a rainfall shower head which desperately needed descaling as was dribbling water and a smaller handheld shower and sink. Each room had a balcony to sit and enjoy the gorgeous view. Tea and instant coffee making facilities and fresh bottled water was provided each day and there is a large fridge/ chargeable minibar in the room. The doors and windows don't 100% fit so be prepared for some mosquitos (there was a net over our bed but it had a number of holes in it!) The hotel has a restaurant and bar on-site which offers a varied buffet breakfast (although some covers are needed as there were a lot of flies on the fruit and pastries) and and extensive dinner menu.

The view from the villas are breath taking. The room is basic with no air conditioning nor fresh air ventilation into the room at nights. The windows cannot be opened due to mosquitos. It is a steep to climb up to the restaurant and to the hikes and the 9 arches. Unsure if wheel chair accebility.
