We decided to chose this hotel to have a special experience during our trip. We were informed by our travel agency that this hotel was "open to nature" however we did not know about the so bad conditions and would not have chosen this hotel if we would have been informed. First they told us that we would have to walk for 40 minutes to go to the hotel, however it was not a normal walking !!! It was raining since 3 days and the ground was very slipping, then we had to take a tuk tuk which was driving so fast close to the ravine. The way to the hotel was dangerous slippery rocks. After this difficult way, we discovered the room and were very disappointed, we had a termite nest next to the bed! Bathroom was so dirty, the room was very dark as we only had one light. We decided to leave.... however it started to rain, so we had the most dangerous return of our life! If you go there and something happens to you, I am really wondering how you can leave this place quickly and easily.... And staff did not speak English.
They offered us to stay in the other part of the hotel they have, the bedroom was closed but so dirty and with so many insects, that was just horrible. Maybe some people would love this experience, but you have to go there being informed about all the conditions of the place.

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.

It was fabulous. Very trendy and the service was very warm .Would love to go again.

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.
