"Great room and can’t fault the facilities and location to the centre. However, I am giving a 3 star review because the WiFi doesn’t work and the food options weren’t great. It should have been mentioned that the hotel only offers slow WiFi that only works for one hour a day"

Hidden among lush tea plantations, Ravana Falls cascades dramatically from a 25-meter cliff face where locals gather to cool off. Hike the moderately challenging trail to Ella Rock for panoramic views of mist-shrouded valleys and the iconic Nine Arches Bridge.
