Amazing views and tranquility from this mind blowing resort. We lived in one of the new King Beehives and it was a dream sitting at the porch absorbing nature at its best. The pool and restaurant were beautifully designed and we enjoyed great food at the place. If you like to hike then you find a lot of routes nearby and you can even walk directly from the resort to Kirawanagama nature falls. A little local place where you can swim under the waterfall without meeting any other tourists. Be aware that the resort is expanding the restaurant area, but it was not interfering with our stay and they are only working at the level above the restaurant.
The hotel has breathtaking views, a stunning swimming pool which has just been built, pleasant and helpful staff who can’t do enough for you and reasonably priced food. I was told that the Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious, but I didn’t actually try it myself. We were a bit disappointed that the hotel was so far from, Ella, but by the end of our stay this didn’t matter at all, because the views made up for it. Be aware that the hotel is on a cliff edge and when it is windy, it can be very noisy in the bee hives/rooms.
