      Just don't to the Heritance Tea Factory in Nuwara Eliya.... we had a terrible experience there with the staff and the rooms! The hotel (aside from the horribly dated rooms) is interesting and the food is decent. We enjoyed the wait staff the most. There is also a gorgeous cottage garden.

    @MrFalkone 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Ok, the hotel is a nice try, but does not really remind me of a typical Shangri La unfortunately. The typical Shangri La coziness is missing. Very cold hotel. For me in Colombo are only 2 hotels to stay at, the Cinnamon Grand and the Mount Lavinia Hotel, both top notch.

    Just a remark about your videos.. as I've already told you before, it is absolutely perfect and my favorite weekly program but one single thing is missing to reach absolute perfection : can you please name what you are eating ? It would be so great !! :)
    Also, really love when you are taking us for a walk around the hotel or in the city :)

    It's crucial to refrain from supporting TH-camrs who endorse the controversial business of Mohomad Sajjad Mawzoon, a notorious tax evader and a major contributor to the economic issues in Sri Lanka. The Shangri La Hotel Group associated with him should not receive any support or recognition. Instead, let's promote businesses with strong ethical and responsible practices.
