good points: very good scenery.
bad points: (1) at least 20-30minute drive from ella, requiring the use of hotel staff tuk-tuk. if wanting to get away and relax, its great, but if wanting to sightsee, its a problem.
(2) staff not upfront with cost of items. i was only told at end of trip what the cost of each meal and travel was. this was compounded by the hotel manager insisting that he take me to a small tea factory that i repeatedly stated that i did not want to attend; the cost of this journey was included in the final bill. the actual cost was not significant, but costs should have been stated beforehand, ideally at check-in, as is usually the case.
