Dream Cliff Mountain Resort
4.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"The hotel is located off an unpaved road high in the hill country. While the views are phenomenal, the location is far from the major attractions (e.g., tea plantations, waterfalls), especially given the nearby road conditions. The rooms themselves were small and basic in terms of furnishings. There is no A/C in the rooms, so the humidity is high and require opening windows. The closest village has limited dining options for tourists, so we ate on site. The food quality was 'ok' with a mix...

"The stay at Hotel Onrock was nice. The hospitality at the hotel was lovely ,with a hot towel and chilled fresh juice served on arrival. The room was nice, inroom decor a little out dated with the tv was too tiny.had to constantly move the mosquito nets out of the way to watch tv. Lol. Gave up and went to sleep. .Beds were comfy. Air-conditioned room. The bathroom a little outdated , hot water worked only sometimes in the day, not too fussed as we were there for a quick shower and out again....

"We spent 3 nights there with my family of 5 in two rooms. We found the location difficult to find on the evening we arrived as it was dark and raining. When we arrived we were met by the owner and his staff who helped us with the bags to the room. Given the location we were met by lots of bugs near the room entrance as the hallway lights were on. The owner was helpful and quickly sprayed bug repellant. The room itself was basic but super clean. We were surprised there wasn’t any air...

"This property was beyond our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly and attentive and accommodating. The room, the lounge, and the restaurant were unbelievably comfortable and well decorated. The pool area is gorgeous and the tea plantations surrounding the property made for the most amazing backdrop. "

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (41)
"We spent two nights here and we were comfortable even though the room was basic. Breakfast on the balcony was lovely. There’s a steep climb back home after going down to the main street, so you will give your calves a good stretch, but it’s worth it for the view of Little Adam’s Peak that you get in the morning. Overall a very good choice of accommodation in a small, quiet guesthouse. "

"Its a property about 7 km away from town. Its a beautifully built property . As i understand it has 6 rooms, and a pool table in the loft. Great staff. There is no lift but its not an issue. There are small things they need to see to. Like salt and pepper shakers ( rather than sticking your fingers into the salt/pepper jar. ) there are no tissues in the room/bathroom. No hand washers - but lovely towels. The scenery from the small restaurant is amazing. This is place i may stay at again"

"This property is the most beautiful place I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. At first, it was difficult to find as it was tucked away behind a school, but once we found it the view was amazing! The sunrises in the morning from their patio is a must-see. What stood out to me the most was the generosity of the family that owns this place. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. A little bit difficult to get from the property into Ella city as the climb to the main road to access a...
