It really is a beautiful country. I'll be posting more from there soon including the Udawalawe Safari park, Colombo and Galle Fort Thanks for watching

Exactly what i was looking for - I'm off to this hotel later next month. Do you recommend any specific excursions to do (i have a few booked that are Tui refereed)

@Mikes_Travels 18 күн бұрын

Thanks for watching Ben and glad the video had helped. That's my motivation for doing them 👍 Definately Udawalawe and the elephants and Galle. I've posted videos of those that may help. Speak to the Tui rep though as he got our excursions cheaper then Tui advertise. They included more and were better value. Pick up with the people I put on the Udawalawe video. The guide was excellent and I highly recommend him from our experience. He was the one that the Tui rep did our tour with. I also took the train to Colombo, which was really cool. Only £1.40 each way and well worth a visit. Again I posted that video yesterday that you may want to take a look at. (Not promoting my channel but it's the reason I post the videos, to help others who go to the same place as me) Thanks again for watching and please ask if you do have any more questions The beach at the hotel is fab but please take care when going in the ocean as it has really strong currents and rip tides. All the very best and I know you'll have a great time

If you check out before 12 and your Pick Up is in the Evening, it is possible like in other RIU Hotels to eat and drink for free till you had Check Out in the Evening?

Hi Mike quick question - how did you pay for the e excursions - rupees, dollars of credit card? I always prefer credit card to avoid the need to travel with cash and conversion rates. Thanks

@Mikes_Travels 11 сағат бұрын

Hi John Thanks for watching. We paid by card to the rep. My advise though if you are travelling with Tui, is don't book anything before you travel. I don't know how, but the Tui rep does the excursions cheaper at the resort. If you watch my Udawalawe video part 1 and 2, we got all of that through the rep. We got more included at a cheaper price then Tui were offering just for the safari If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask Thanks again for watching

Are the other restaurants a la carte of small scale buffets? Also are the drinks in the restaurants self service or do you get table service?

@Mikes_Travels Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching Gary. The other restaurants are a bit of each ie mains served and you can help yourselves to some food for starters. Drinks are served at the table. Hope that helps and if you do have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask Meant to say that all breakfast drinks are self serve

~ Very nice place . . . did you mention the daily cost? Cheers!

@Mikes_Travels Ай бұрын

I didn't mention the cost as I guess it would depend on where you are travelling from and who you book with. We paid £3800 for 2 people for 10 days all inclusive, flying from London to Colombo via Dubai. This also included the transfer to and from the airport

Wow, that seems like a great deal😎👍

@Mikes_Travels Ай бұрын

@adventureswithfarmertroy we was pleased with the price . Think we booked it about 9 months in advance which is why it may have been cheaper then

I've been reading that they do not provide toiletries in the washrooms... Is it true? And the check in process can get long and tiring... Kindly share your experience on these?
