I traveled in the shoulder season, meaning peace, no other guests next to my room so i enjoyed my veranda, seeing the most gorgeous sunrises. The rooms are clean, comfortable beds, Sampa will make sure you have a tuk tuk to get you to the town, delicious breakfast and so much kindness. Just keep in minf, if you are planning to party in Ella street bars this jotel is not convenient since it is up in the mountains, 2 km away from the town centre, no restaurants or bars near , this hotel is ideal for people looking to admire nature and able nody, there are a flight of stairs to get to the rooms. ##### Milagros Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bali-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d602651-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Grand Mound](https://www.expedia.ca/Centralia-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Grand-Mound.h2019706.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Calgary South](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Calgary-South.h4453.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Beach Shores Resort and Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Singer-Island-Hotels-Palm-Beach-Shores-Resort-And-Vacation-Villas.h21733.Hotel-Information) > > [Fox Jaffna by Fox Resorts – Boutique Heritage Luxury](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaffna-Hotels-FOX-JAFFNA-By-Fox-Resorts.h17399149.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels.d4054.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Downtown-Toronto.h4796.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Parking in Old Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Old-Montreal-Montreal-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Parking.0-n6058206-0-tHotelswithFreeParking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.ca/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana Hammock - An Adults Only Karisma All-Inclusive Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Margaritaville-Island-Reserve-Cap-Cana.h66365793.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Resort.h1487820.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown St. Louis](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-St-Louis-St-Louis-Hotels.0-n800136-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYUL-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Flushing (LGA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/lga/halifax-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/nrt/vancouver-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Houston (IAH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/iah/toronto-to-houston) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to San Pedro Mixtepec (PXM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/pxm/vancouver-to-puerto-escondido) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to San José del Cabo (SJD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/sjd/halifax-to-san-jose-del-cabo) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to New Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/del/vancouver-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Spata-Artemida (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ath/toronto-to-athens) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Isla Mujeres Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Isla-Mujeres.d7925.Destination-Travel-Guides)
