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.

6/10 Good

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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

Not worth the money.
Lovely view from the rooms but overall average for the price paid. It appears they're currently expanding, so much of the area is a building site.

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.

I loved the Nature around the property. My room had everything Ineeded. The bathroom was spacious and beautiful, my bed was amazingly comfortable. My balcony looking at the mountains, and nature very relaxing. Their breakfast buffet was A Their smoothies, and Cold ginger tea were the best. Their Dinner menu were very well detailed, and the food was delicious. I will go back, and stay at this location.
