Ali Adi Eco Resort

Asela and her family were very hospitable and friendly. The resort is beautiful, with a pool to relax after the days of sightseeing and the heat. Breakfast was very good. You can walk to some restaurants, even though they warn you to be careful with elephants, we had no problems. There is a slightly pricier restaurant in the resort, but it’s useful if you don’t feel like going out. If you go to the Spice Garden that Asela offers, don’t feel obliged to buy anything or get a massage there; they share interesting stories but then try to sell very expensive products. You can take a bus to Dambulla for about 100 rs, so the site is a good base camp option.

“Séjour incroyable”

The pool was clean, the hosts were kind and gave good advice, the food quality was high, the atmosphere was family‑friendly and authentic, and we even had a visit with an elephant.

“Goede plek, maar wees wat op je hoede voor de eigenaar”

The pool was a big advantage and the owner runs a small restaurant where you can eat nicely. The rooms are simple (and noisy) and lack charm. Initially we had a good impression of the owner, who tries to help where he can (such as arranging a jeep to go to Kaudulla, fixing a wellness, though the prices were relatively high compared to what we saw in Ella). He arranged a brand‑new van at a good price (to drive to him). The location is quiet but a bit off the main road. There was no mattress topper, the mattresses were hard and there were no nightstands. The rooms were not charming… Our children slept in the room under the tree house and had a lot of trouble with the noise from guests there (perhaps poorly insulated). The owner charges a bit too much for the tuk‑tuk rides he offers and comes across as a bit pushy (perhaps he makes a profit). He tried to fix a car to go to Kandy, but that didn’t work. Overall no problem. We arranged a car ourselves via our next hotel. Our driver later told us, while still on the road, that the owner had threatened him and claimed that we were his clients. A serious turn‑off, and our suspicion that he was not entirely authentic and honest proved correct. He also added extra costs if you paid with a card.

We stayed two nights in this small hotel, specifically the tree‑house room. Everything was very good, clean, the staff were affectionate, helpful, and did everything to make you comfortable. The sound of the wind at night and the chirping of birds was priceless—I would definitely come back. I didn’t use the pool but noticed good maintenance, clear and controlled water. My daughter was very happy. The breakfast was excellent and plentiful. On the last day the owner said goodbye with a strong hug. We are in Sri Lanka, so you need an adaptive spirit; that’s why I find no negative notes.

We slept in the tree house and it was fantastic. Air conditioning and a coconut‑nut shower! The breakfast was delicious, and dinner was also well taken care of. The trips they organize were also great!
