Villas in Hali-Ela

"The hotel is new and there are nice views but it is hard to find (no signs on the road and most Tuktuk drivers don't know the place) and they are building a 2nd floor so it can get noisy. It's a bit isolated although it is possible to walk to the center if you don't mind hills and it is pitch black in the evening (I did it several times to avoid the hassle of getting a Tuktuk). The room was not cleaned once during my 3 night stay. The staff were kind but they were hanging out in the lobby with friends/other staff(?) in the evening, making it feel more like a dorm than a hotel. Also, I asked them to organize Tuktuk transport twice assuming I they had reliable partners that ask fair prices and the driver they arranged tried charging me triple the normal price (I spent several months in Sri Lanka so I am aware of fair prices...). The hotel is nice but it isn't run like a hotel."

"Staff were lovely and incredibly helpful. Location is ideal, view is stunning. The pool was nice to swim in. If you don’t mind stairs, this place is ideal. "

"Fantastic Plac"

"Will be nice when the building work is finished "

"Lovely place"

"Tea tour and tasting was a must-do experience! Dinner in the train car was amazing! Service was great and food was excellent!"

"Hi this is a slightly more expensive for the area but for us it was worth it. There was a hidden surprise for us as they have an infinity pool on the roof and sundeck which had views to die for. The breakfast was excellent the games room was fun and the staff took no hesitation to join in with playing games with my son. Room was lovely and staff amazing and great location for short walk into Ella to explore. But quite expensive is only negative"

"A wonderful stay in every way. Stunningly good."
