Romance Valley

Scam - the room with a private pool doesn’t exist We booked a room with a private pool but when we arrived the room was located on the 1st floor without a private pool. It turned out the ‘private pool’ was a shared pool on the ground floor with the room below ours. It clearly stated a private pool when we made the reservation and I went back afterwards to double check if it said a shared pool anywhere - but it didn’t. Also the pictures were very misleading of the room next to the pool as we happened to get a room on a higher floor where you couldn’t see the pool at all. So they basically sold us a room with a private pool that didn’t exist.

I enjoyed a 2-night stay here, with a couple of friends, who paid for my accommodation, which was very clean and comfortable. The meals were delicious, the service was good, and wifi was available. The view from the dining room is beautiful. It was calming to hear the sound of water flowing, from the stream nearby. My friends spotted a deer, when we went for a walk in the surrounding woods. The full moon could be seen from the bathroom window. We visited Ella during the day. Since accommodation in Ella is very expensive, it was a good choice to stay at Romance Valley.

We booked 2 nights with Romance valley, and were a little apprehensive when we read the reviews on trip advisor, and we almost considered cancelling our booking, however we decided to bite the bullet and go anyway, and I AM SO GLAD we did, because Romance Valley is just a perfect slice of heaven, that you will be very sad to miss out on! All the rooms have STUNNING views of the mountains towards the south of Sri Lanka, a mist keeps coming in and going out almost like a painting on a canvas is being revealed, it’s truly spectacular. The rooms are huge, well furnished, with beautiful paintings. The beds are SO comfortable and the pillows are some of the softest I have seen in Sri Lanka. Mr. Kumudu was extremely helpful from the very start and made all our requests a possibility, we were even able to bring our dogs which was amazing. The staff are so lovely, there was no request that was too much for them. They were extremely attentive and even suggested places for us to get set up in the evenings. Romance valley is also an architectural marvel! It is just oozing with character and is a true dream for those with an eye for design. The food was great and so was the portion size, it is absolute value for money for what you pay. We will definitely come back to Romance Valley, and we thank Mr. Kumudu and his staff for making our stay so memorable!
