I had a wonderful stay at Rivinu Holiday Resort, which was nestled amidst beautiful tea plantations. The warm welcome with tea and biscuits made me feel right at home. While the accommodation could have been slightly cleaner, the hosts were fantastic and offered helpful recommendations. It's a bit of a trek into Ella town, but the serenity of the location made it worthwhile.

My stay at Rivinu Holiday Resort was good overall! The cottage offered stunning views and a tranquil location in nature, perfect for recharging. The hospitality from Eranda and his family was great, making me feel welcomed and taken care of. However, I did notice some mildew in the room, likely a result of humidity in Ella, which was a bit off-putting. Still, I would recommend staying here, especially for a serene experience. 🌄

I had an amazing two-night stay at the Rivinu Holiday Resort! The place felt super peaceful, nestled in the beauty of the tea gardens. I loved the spacious, clean room with a cozy balcony—perfect for enjoying the morning view. The only downside was that while I could get to Ella town easily, the trek back was mostly downhill, which sometimes made me opt for a tuk-tuk. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot if you want nature and comfort combined!
