Had a great time!
?We loved how their staff welcomed us. They never hesitated to provide us required information about the area and transportation services. I couldn't get the name of the gentleman who took our bags to our room and served us the welcome drink. He is very professional about his job and knows how to treat their guests. There was another gentleman who served us our breakfast. He helped us a lot getting us tuk tuks. Breakfast was delicious and I never expected this kind of service. The view from our room and the restaurant is breathtaking. Room was very clean and there were tea coffee amenities, hot water shower and a hair dryer as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is travelling to Ella. There was nothing I didn't like. But I suggest them to improve few more facilities adding a Tv to the room and some bedside lights.
