The Luxor Kirindi Ella Hotel was kind of in the middle of nowhere. We tried to walk to the nearest town, but it was a busy highway and not a safe or pleasant walk. The nearby town was mostly for locals and not very accessible for tourists. I would have preferred to stay closer to Ella town itself, even if it might have been more expensive. So, while the hotel itself was fine, the location was not ideal for us.

Athena Lake was a fantastic place to stay. It was really lovely and beautiful, and I was stunned by how beautiful all the places we stayed were. Athena Lake especially looked amazing and was a highlight among the accommodations. We were not looking for five-star places, more around three-star, but Athena Lake exceeded expectations.

The Elephant Safari in Minneriya National Park was a lovely experience. The jeep suspension was quite hard, making the ride a bit tough on the body, but the excitement of the safari made up for it. We had some previous safari experience in Africa, so we appreciated the drive around the plains. It was a great experience overall.

The Yala National Park Jeep Safari was an incredible experience. We were very lucky to see a leopard just three minutes before exiting the park, which was quite amazing. The day was very hot, which made animal sightings a bit challenging, but the strict park opening and closing times are understandable and good for conservation. Overall, it was a highlight of the trip and a memorable adventure.

Taru Villas in Kandy had a certain charm with its colonial style, but the room was rather dark due to the shuttered windows, which we couldn't open because of the mosquitoes. It felt a bit confined. However, the staff were friendly and accommodating, making our stay pleasant despite the drawbacks.

The safari in Yala National Park was fantastic! It was one of our favorite activities, and the opportunity to see wildlife up close was incredible. The guides were knowledgeable and ensured we had a memorable experience. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting the area.

The cooking demo at Melheim Resort was absolutely enjoyable. As someone who loves cooking, it was enlightening to learn new recipes and techniques from the local chefs. The experience was fun and engaging, and I appreciated the keen interest and assistance from the staff.

Visiting Kandy's Royal Botanical Garden was a lovely experience. The garden was vast and beautiful with so much to see, including trees filled with bats which was quite captivating. It's a serene place that's definitely worth a visit when in Kandy.

The village tour at Hiriwadunna, followed by a cooking demo and lunch, was a delightful experience. It was interesting to engage in local cooking and learn traditional methods. The locals were friendly, and the food was delicious. Definitely a worthwhile experience for those interested in cultural activities.

We had a huge room. Small scale hotel - it was nice to have very personalized service. Amazing waiter.

This was our favourite place to stay! Staff were lovely ( although there were a lot of them) Hotel had a lovely feel to it.

Nice hotel but seemed to appeal to the young crowd rather than have a family feel. We struggled to find anywhere to sit by the pool and get towels. Right on the coast. Was good to see the commuter train roll in.

Lovely rooms and two great pools. Right I. The beach but we were disappointed by the cleanliness of the beach. It was a quick stop so didn’t affect us too much.

We didn’t do the cycling - not sure why. We took a tractor instead of the bullock cart. This was due to time constraints I think but would have preferred the cart. The boat was lovely. The whole thing was a Bit touristy but it was fun and everyone enjoyed it.

Great go skiing experience bug it was SO hot. We ended up altering staying at the Yala equivalent. Loved the campfire and dinner experience. The optional bush walk wasn’t too exciting. We did ask for a reconfiguration of the room and an extra fan and both were sorted promptly.

Great first spot to stop. We were the only ones there which made it very special and our local guide was great. Again, it was unbearably hot!!! The guide actually invited us to his place and his wife made us cold drinks!

Too hot for us to enjoy really!!!! Interesting but we cut it short.

Awesome! We left early and went back to the hotel for breakfast after. Avoided huge crowds and the heat. Beautiful views and experience.

Quite touristy but it was really interesting and we loved the ‘free’ massage.

Kids did the zip line and pistol shooting . The morning walk was also fabulous. It was also great to be able to walk to the bridge from the hotel. Ella is a lovely little town to explore on foot.

Interesting - didn’t realize we couldn’t actually see the tooth! Loved hearing about the elephants!

Touristy but we were the only ones there. Was fun dressing up and picking tea and walking through the factory.

It was a bit touch and go about whether we had tickets or not but it was a great experience sitting in 3rd class with the samosa man! Our guide went to great efforts to make sure we had seats.

We were lucky and saw leopards, a sloth bear and a wild pig! We were a little concerned about the number of jeeps gathered around the bear and how long they managed to get in his way for. We still enjoyed it.

I question the ethics of this sanctuary. It’s hard to know really. It was interesting but some if the turtles looked sad.
