“Well done eco lodge in natural surroundings”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Ella Adventure Park made a magical impression from the first moment. We were driven down the escarpment through the forest (quite a drive) at dusk and after descending the last 5 minutes by foot arrived at a rope-bridge over a lovely river and entered a beautifully done wooden walk way on the other side. Welcome to Ella Adventure Park.

The name "adventure park" could just as well be "nature lodge". However, they do have cool adventurous activities so the name is justified.

The lodge consists of a main part where you have dinner or a drink, all open, no walls. Walk along a stone path and after a few hundred meters you reach the first cabin. The next one is a few hundred meters further so each room has a feeling of total privacy and intimacy with nature. Each room is built on the river (slightly above it) with a balcony that gives the impression you're all alone in the jungle. At night there's many fire flies which adds a very mystical touch.

The rooms are simple but comfortable. A wooden floor and roof, curtains instead of walls, so you're really close to nature here.

The staff are super friendly. Good food. Lovely surroundings to go for hikes.

We stayed in the "new part" as far as we understood, which is far from the main road. Apparently there is also an older part of the lodge, further down and closer to the road, no idea how that part of the lodge is.

“Horrible experience, avoid it”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2009

I chose this hotel based on their website and pictures. I usually like the lodges and ecolodge concept. The major problem is the cleanliness, the moskito net was dirty, smelly, teared in many places, the bed sheets were dirty and smelly as well. The food was not good. The price was extremely expensive for what it is... I do not recommend this place to anyone. The staff were nice but did not speak english.
We stayed 12 days in Sri Lanka and from far this is the worse hotel we did.

“An unforgettable experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2009

Just after checking in, a late lunch was quickly put together for us - even though it was then close to tea-time. Soon after we were taken in a 4x4 to the closest drop-off point, from where we trekked into the forest, with our knowledgeable guide Bandulla. The resort we saw after the brisk trek was straight out of my dream ! The last approach to the resort was after you cross a hanging rope bridge. With no electricity and almost nothing mechanical, it was back to the basics (literally) ! I enjoyed the experience to the core. And, I sure would go back again. Hope it stays unchanged. The rooms were all spacious and comfortably rustic. And there was a forest stream gurgling just behind where we stayed. It was beyond serene and beautiful. We never had any insect problems, though I'm not scared of the insects. I am also not scared of the dark, so it was not an issue. Only kerosene lanterns were provided after sunset for lighting. Food was typically local. Though not luxurious, it was not bad either. The best part was the staff were very hospitable and many times, they went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. honestly, I can't think of anything that I didn't quite like about that place.

“Stay away from ella adventure park”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2009

people found this review helpful

My girlfriend and I stayed there for one night, the "Room" we were given did not have a door, just a curtain in place. When we awoke the next morning, her purse and backpack were missing, all of our money, passports and half our belongings were taken while we were sleeping.
They did nothing to recover our belongings, and the police were even less help. The staff told the police they offered us the use of their safe, which they did not, our belongings were in a safe at every place we stayed in sri lanka until there. I think that our belongings were taken by staff members of that facility.
