2nd Day Of Trip - Mandara Resort Sri Lanka

9:47 am Personal Stories, Roy Daily News

Today is the official second day of my trip! I was all relax and unwind. The first 3 days of our trip will be all sea-side resort.

In total, we travel the coast of Sri Lanka and stayed in 2 hotels. The 2nd hotel that we stayed in (which I’m staying as of this post) is the better among the two.

It’s better in terms of luxury and also value for money. There’s always a saying, “It’s always who you know.”

Personally, I think that statement is only half-correct. I would prefer this way, “It’s Not only who you know, but also who knows you.”

Because of that, of who we know and who knows us in Sri Lanka, we can travel in style and also in very luxury resorts at such a good value…

… that you cannot find any where in this world, unless you own the resorts.

Of course, in order to get such great value, a small secret would be, we know the owner one way or another.

Here’s some quick photos that I took from my room.

The food is great. The resorts is great. It’s totally relax, no sounds and sights of busy traffic, no stress, and all we hear is sounds of the wave and birds. Totally heavenly!

This is a 5 stars resort from my personal standard. It would be as good as resorts like Banyan Tree in Phuket and many parts of the world. Any pool-side room in Banyan tree would easily cost US$800 – US$1,500 a night.

For the rooms that we are getting, it’s only a tiny fraction of that.

Here’s another few photos from the surrounding of the resorts. We are facing the India Ocean, look at the crashing waves that’s behind us…

And while we are having fun at the sea, taking photo, we got a special guest…

For all these, I’m really blessed and thankful for that.

After my short post that I’m writing here, I’m going to enjoy the pool and the sea breeze. So, with that, I’ll post more photos and my finding during the trip.

Have a great weekend,
