Ella Retreat Hotel Villa for Nature Lovers

The people working there were incredible, they were so friendly and went out their way to help us with everything. It was out honey moon and prepared a beautiful room, with flowers and one even sangre a song for us, they were so happy to receive us it was so special! They even sourced us a bottle of prosecco to celebrate and organised activities for us with quite short notice. They were always responsive on whatsapp. I could recommend them enough!

Not that we didn't like as such but important to be aware its a little more difficult to arrive there due to the narrow path, but they will always organise a tuc tuc for you. There was also a tuc tuc waiting at the station upon our arrival.

Truly felt like a part of the family. On arrival, I was walked to my room with a welcome drink and sang a beautiful song. Whilst it’s high in the mountains, there was always a tuk tuk to take you wherever you needed. But also a nice walk into town. I fell ill whilst I was there and the hosts even messaged me a couple of days after to check in on me!

Nothing

Superb location in a secluded forest near to a waterfall only 15 minutes in tuk tuk from the center. Our cottage was very confortable with eco design and furniture. Very good breakfast and hospitality.

There wasn't a "proper" reception or common areas, nor some services were available at the property, however you could ask help to the very kind staff.

I really like the location and the nature vibe. The working ladies were also very nice and helpful.

Need to be more clean. At the beginning we found small blood insect dots on the bedsheet.

The accommodation is in the middle of the jungle but accessible with Tuk Tuk. The pick up and drop off were included in the price but they were also quick to arrange a Tuk Tuk anytime we needed. Our cottage was well equipped and tastefully constructed and decorated. The staff was super helpful, kind and welcoming, always ready to help. The dinner and breakfasts were delicious and in great portions.

Can't mention anything negative!

The Cottage is the perfect location for a little getaway and if you prefer nature instead of city life! The staff is so friendly, they bring you all the food to your own table outside. We really enjoyed the stay.

We liked everything. Just be aware: The cottage is full of life - we had frogs and lizards in the bathroom, bees in the whole cottage and the monkeys live right next to the cottage. The frogs were quite loud at night :D maybe bring oropax! You also have to be aware that you have to take the drivers form the hotel as other ones are not familiar with the road up to the hotel. But they are only a little bit more expensive as all tuk-tuks in Ella are on the expensive side.
