We chose HIDE Ella for our honeymoon based on its reputation for high standards, but unfortunately, our experience did not meet those expectations. While your staff members were consistently friendly and welcoming, the overall quality of the facilities and service fell short of a premium hotel experience. Specifically, the room felt quite basic for the price point. More importantly, we dealt with broken lighting and a shower that overflowed almost immediately, which was both inconvenient and a safety concern. On one occasion, the breakfast buffet was cold, which was disappointing for a high-end establishment. The pool area was consistently untidy and appeared neglected. We also noticed a lack of staff presence in this area to assist guests or maintain the space. We had hoped for a seamless and special stay to celebrate our marriage, but the poor standard of the property left us feeling very disappointed.

“Amazing views, friendly and attentive staff, and exceptionally clean.”
This hotel is amazing! The views alone are breath-taking. Although only 5 minutes from the main street, it was so quiet here. The pool and amenities were so clean, and the AC was so strong. Everyone here was so nice and welcoming, and went out of their way to help us with any queries. The kitchen and bar staff were so friendly, and the food was amazing. Especially breakfast. Would definitely recommend and come back.

“save your money and don't stay at this scam hotel”
only good thing about this hotel is the view. I also appreciated the staff serving us breakfast and dinner as they were very nice and accommodating but that is about it. The front desk staff and manager was appalling and very rude.

This hotel was such a pleasant surprise. The location gave spectacular views and the room was exactly per the pictures online. The steam room and sauna were really clean and available all day. The staff were amazing even inviting me to help mix the traditional Christmas cake mixture with the chefs and staff which was super fun.

“Nice stay in Ella, great views.”
Good location, close to the main area but far enough away for peace and quiet. Rooms are clean, a little small but does the job. Great views.
