Some disappointing monologues in this one. It's totally unfair the way you have portrayed the picture.... Heritance Kandalama is an Eco lodge which was built in harmony of the surroundings, just visiting for high tea will not give you clear picture of what it has to offer. I my self have stayed there and it's a totally different experience. So its truly exclusive .... you can give your opinion but be humble to lay out the circumstances in which you have experienced it.....

High tea with the Wifey. She loves that sorta thing. The only essential item that's missing is smoked salmon sandwiches. Btw, how was the Lampris? Did you put up a video?

Johnny, this hotel is a Masterpiece. World renowned Srilankan architect Geoffrey Bawa is credited for this masterpiece. Another thing, you are exploring unique places that even we, Srilankans haven't visited or discovered..!!! Thanks for giving us unique experience through your journey...!!!

Sri lanka is simply a heaven 😍

one of the most beautiful country in the world . Must visit if you are nature and food lover❤️❤️

World number 1 tea ☕

Sri Lanka has more to offer than beautiful sandy beaches.

This is one of my favourite hotels in Sri Lanka

One of my favorite locations in Sri Lanka... Last time I had my breakfast near to that pool...

Thank you for highlighting about road safety in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka really need to go a long way to fix them. I request you to do a separate video about it. Educate the people and make a trend to put road safety rules. Our people need to be more educated and civilised in the road. It’s costing us too many lives.

I’m jealous as usual !!!! Jonny Jonny .. eating sugar !!! 😂😂😂

It is a beautiful eco-friendly hotel I wanted to visit for a long time. All the credits go to the architect and the engineers who made it possible. Location wise, Heritance Kandalama is one of a kind and very unique in all of South Asia. Thank you for sharing your experience.

The Johnny’s comment about Road Safety in Sri Lanka should be brought to the notice to the Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Transport and to the entire government. It should be taken very seriously and make sure anymore fatality on the road to our locals and the tourists because we don’t live here to die on the street and the too they don’t come the same intention.

Ya im sure Its brand new information coming from Johnny lmfao. If these comments were brought to notice, it will literally add to the million already there. If they have a solution or really wanted to fix it, it would have happened a long time ago. Hopefully thing would improve for everyone's sake.

Great couple So humble and lovely Wish you both good luck ,more and more joyful life

One of the best hotel in sri Lanka I have ever been Johnny. It’s right middle of forest 👌🙌🇱🇰 thanks to bring back my sweet memories. Very good service and Friendly staff I have experienced in heritance kandalama❤️. credit goes Mr. Geoffrey Bhawa the best Architect Srilanka ever produced..

I really love to see how happy kristina is whenever she goes for a nice place. Face says it all ❤️

If not mistaken the hotel was designed by the well known Sri Lankan architect, the late Geofrey Bawa

Views are worth a million dollars. Thanks to Geoffrey Bawa..

Yeah heritance kandalama is 99% eco friendly design by 'Geoffrey Bawa'.at early 1990's its the worlds best hotel and now a days its an unique sri lankan hotel.also you can watch sigiriya rock fortress and Dambulla Golden Temple at two ends of this hotel.sir Geoffrey Bawa designed this hotel as a eagle who waving his wings.yeah it's great to have you in sri lanka 🇱🇰♥️

Wow superb guys, enjoying Srilanka wow 🤩 awesome foods, enjoy well

Beutiful place.. Thank you for sharing..

Brings back memories!! My Dad, Bro and I loved that pool.

Mr. Johnny FD thank you so mush you make my country very proud from your KZread channel. I wish your all the best

Thank you so much for showing us the beautiful places of our country

Wow beautiful high tea. Enjoy.

This hotel became one of the best and must visit hotels in the world in rankings if I am not wrong in early 2000s. Your videos are all fantastic...which have very balanced and honest opinions with everything you experience. This is the true beauty of Sri Lanka. Normally afternoon teas are always massive, but the one you had definitely they have given something extra for you two :)..🇬🇧

I have been to Kandalama Hotel once and I truly enjoyed the experience there. Out of the hotels that I have visited in Sri Lanka, there I have seen the best variety of food. It's a nature centric resort experience and I get that not everyone will enjoy that experience. I would like to suggest you to visit Forest rock garden hotel in Anuradhapura. I haven't visited there yet but what I have seen from my friends who have visited there is that it's such a unique place, blended with truly wonderful architecture. About the Sri Lankan road safety, that's one of the major issues that the country has right now. All the points that you highlighted there are illegal and carries a significant amount of penalties but lack of driving discipline and various other socio economic complications have caused this mess and I am sure the government is working towards mediating this issue.

I have not told you why I am interested in your videos. My Dad, a UN worker was in SL for two years, while back. Of course the whole family was there. I do not know the price but we always has similar treat when we were living in Kandy. We would go for a swim near the Kandy lake and then go to a restaurant that served a similar fare. We did travel but not extensively like you. Childhood memories are in the back of the head but did not return lately. So me and my siblings are planning to visit all the countries my parents worked. Beginning from Africa (most of the continent) to Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Korea, Mongolia and the Papua New Guainía . We are done with half the Africa and Malaysia, Mongolia and Indonesia. We will hit Sri Lanka, once this pandemic is over. You are a very valuable resource. Yes this place was recommended by many.

Very attractive video beautiful hope you are enjoying Sri Lanka. Very valuable comment about the roads in Sri Lanka. I agree with you people have to more careful and take care others.

Johnny you are absolutely right about the driving. It spoils Sri Lanka's other abundant qualities. Apart from the last holiday,all my holidays to Sri Lanka have memories of how close I was to meeting the great mechanic in the sky

Wow.. the location is like heaven.

Seems like a great way to over indulge with a beautiful view...nice place

Johnny, you’ve been brutally honest about few things and I’m sure most people would appreciate it. You are nailing some issues on the head and as long as we are in denial about it we’d have no chance of fixing them. Sri Lanka is absolutely blessed with so many things as the list would go on but it’s the processes which are created by people that is a hindrance to the progress. Question for you Johnny, where would you rate Sri Lanka amongst other countries for a visit? Because I might be biased as it is home for an opinion however after traveling many countries and now living in Aus for about 25 yrs I feel SL has something unique and magical about the place. Keen to know your thoughts mate.

Johnny , Kandalama is kind of an architectural masterpiece. Created by renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. The hotel is about a kilometre long, but has been designed to blend in with nature so it's almost invincible when you look at it from the other side of the lake. A day at the hotel is definitely worth.

No one cares no.road rules as such if you are lucky only you will survive

The majority of road accidents in Sri Lanka are caused by undisciplined drivers.The new leadership of the country has focused on this and has introduced the lane law as a step forward.It is currently being implemented in the Colombo area.It must be said that the implementation of new laws over the years has seen qualitative progress.So let's wait for the bad guys to get better😁❤✌

Be safe and enjoy the nature bro❤️

You guys doing so well

Wow... Beautiful 💕💕

I would cleanup all the savoury snacks. So hungry right now.

You are 100% right about road driving, many people after war went to different world now they are visiting back to see their family members and killed by vehicle accident

Its nice to see you getting more attention. Your casual vlogs, blog and podcasts are solid value. Not sure why it took KZread years to push your content a bit more.

We have stayed in this Eco hotel some years ago. Beautiful hotel built in to a rock. Mushroom Aranchinis in SriLanka in the lock down? I am jealous.

Regarding traveling on the roads in sri lanka ,its true what you say,as sri lankans it has been difficult to change this situations ,accidents every where,but you have the right to complain,just give it a try,things might change in the future ,thank you for all the lovely comments about sri lanka ,Take carecare🙏

Dear Johnny, As most people have said you have done a great job highlighting road safety in SL. But I don't agree with some who says that this has become a norm that we cannot do anything to eradicate. This is where you can help SL johnny, by going a step further. Please try and forward this video to Sri Lankan president's office.The current president is trying to change so many bad practices in SL which has become norm in SL for years. Please somehow try to get through this message to him from a foreigner's point of view ( sorry to name you as a foreigner you are a true local than most of us, but I mean from your foreign nationality point of view). Try his secretarial office as well if you can. You will be doing a great service to SL and its people, even if can get one policy implemented for road safety.

Thank you Johnny very true, you gave very strong message to all Sri Lankan’s

Known for its’ architecture by Jeffrey Bawa , even Prince Charles is a fan of Jeffrey Bawa’s architecture ! A lot of hotels have his architecture represented !! Tea with shorts eats between 3-5pm miss this ritual ! 😋ENJOY !!😛 Christina looks happy!!!😚

Great video . Super Promotion for Kandalama hotel in Dambulla area. SL. My next visit to SL. Must visit Resort. Bit disappointed. The visit will not happen at the end of 2020.

Kandalama is too expensive and useless... It's a market trick.. glad you have the brains to understand

It’s huge Its a whole meal

Sri Lanka has all the traffic laws but there's no effective implementation, plenty of accidents due to careless driving of specially bus drivers, the politicians in charge aren't bothered because they all drive duty free imported land cruiser vehicles with safety vehicles in front and back, unfortunately public have to face all these careless driving...

I'm hungry now 😢

Bus drivers, trucks, and tik tuks are the main culprits of road accidents. They lack accountability. Having said that I should add that foreigners always indulge in Buddhist bashing when they see things that they are not used to in their own countries. However, there are over 6 million non-Buddhists in SL. My advise is for you to get a ride through PICKME ride app or UBER. Quite reasonable fares. Avoid the hassle.

I love using PickMe/Uber, but it's not available outside of Colombo usually.

This part of World,especially in South Asia motorists never bother about traffic rules and regulations. Simply push the vehicle on the Road. No hectic fine and penalty for accidents and traffic violations... So lots of life's losses in the road and goverments duty is simply collect the fine and road taxes....

Johnny have you heard of The Ark?...its in Matugama?....Oh my you two have have have to go to this one!!!...please check it out...my friend just showed this to us and we will be going there in 2022!!!...so want you to see it!!...Viv

For hotel stays? It depends on how long you're staying for. 1 night at $400 may be doable if you travel once a year. But if traveling longer or more often it needs to be much less. During covid times the best hotels are in the $100 a night range.

OMG !! 😱 We LOVE Heritance Kandalama. Great food. Yes its a bit more expensive,but it’s totally worth it..
