Staying at 98 Acres was a mixed experience for us. The views were absolutely stunning and the dining options were fantastic, but we faced several issues with the room that left us disappointed. While the service was good at times, the facilities did not meet our expectations for the price we paid. Overall, it's a beautiful place, but there are definitely some improvements needed.
Rooms

Our room was spacious and beautifully designed with natural materials, offering a spectacular terrace with breathtaking views. However, it could have benefited from some amenities like a coffee table to keep our belongings off the floor. Despite the comfort, the lack of an air conditioner made it uncomfortable during the hot midday hours.

I had a wonderful experience at this resort, with breathtaking views and a comfortable room that provided the perfect escape in nature.

I had higher expectations for my stay at this hotel, especially considering the reviews I'd heard. The room was small and had an amazing view, which was its only redeeming feature. Unfortunately, the bed was incredibly uncomfortable, and I found the dining experience to be lackluster. Additionally, having to pay for basic amenities that are usually complimentary at such hotels was quite disappointing.

The hotel is set in a stunning countryside with breathtaking views, making it a picturesque location for a getaway. The rooms are spacious and feature a big balcony that overlooks Little Adam's Peak, which is incredible to wake up to. However, the hotel is overpriced for what it offers, and the dining experience leaves much to be desired due to high prices and mediocre service.
