I had a lovely stay at Misty Hills Ella Resort, thanks to the fine views from my room and the cute staff. The Sri Lankan breakfasts were delicious, and I enjoyed the fresh vegetable curries from the hotel garden. However, the wifi only worked in the restaurant area, and there were some maintenance issues in my room. Overall, the views were the highlight of my stay.
