place is super gorgeous I'm actually only here for two nights and I haven't even gotten familiarized with the property yet because I did get here around Sunset and I didn't want to miss out um on jumping into the pool so I jumped in the pool and before I know it it was pitch black dark so we're gonna explore this property together now right now I'm actually enjoying a beautiful breakfast here I got some coconut Roti I'm not sure what this is but it's always served with coconut rati some Dal some chicken curry some fruits and what is this some sugar or some chutneys not too sure and some coffee now um actually let me jump on into the room and show you guys the room real briefly before we continue on with the meal now this here is the room sorry if the lighting's a bit off right now but this here is my beautiful Suite I'm actually staying in the Samaya Suite now every room here in this hotel actually has a name but I love The Vibes look at the desk beautiful work area some nice chairs everything about this place is spot on they have like some art up there that show you some of the most iconic sites in Sri Lanka I actually only know the sigerea which is the big rock candy and I'm not sure what this place is no idea but I slept here last night sorry if the bed's not made how they gave it to me but let me just tell you this is one of the coziest sleeps I've had this entire trip now I actually stayed at the Shangri-La on my very first night um here in Sri Lanka and that was a five-star hotel everybody told me that it was one of the best hotels in the entire country but let me just tell you guys this here is one of the best hotels in the entire country now it's kind of a shame that I'm staying here alone because this place is absolutely gorgeous of course you got an amazing air conditioning mirrors here's all kinds of storage space what's here oh a fridge refrigerator and then over in this direction be safe really cool now over here we have like a small vanity with a coffee Tea Bar some water beautiful decorations everywhere here on this property actually that's one thing I'm really enjoying is seeing all of the different paintings and art that can be found

this breakfast that way I can show you guys around the property and we can go jump on into the pool and enjoy some enjoy some nice uh relaxation time because when you're in a place that's beautiful you have to relax you know what I mean so this here is the coconut Roti this here is one of my favorite things in all of Sri Lanka and then we got some fresh mixed juice Mom very nice hmm that is very very nice you know what I actually want to dive on into one of these watermelons first the fruit here in Sri Lanka is incredible [Music] no seriously what a place hello let me know what you guys think of this breakfast so far like we got a little bit of passion fruit some coffee that we should pour up oh yeah all right guys well I'm gonna enjoy my breakfast and I'll see you guys for the hotel tour so I can give you guys a complete tour of this area but I also forgot to mention this this is the balcony of my place and yeah we have a nice little like sofa couch a little table shoe rack now I actually noticed from the inside of my room earlier today that there was a little workout area here like pull-up bar a little bar for some dips some small weights gorgeous gorgeous place so yeah I'm gonna enjoy this breakfast and then I'll see you guys down there because that pool is calling my name and there's also a little private beach here too so I'll show you guys all of those um amenities here in a minute all right so I'm going to show you guys around the property now breakfast was incredible sorry for the uh weed eaters happening behind me this property obviously requires a lot of Maintenance because of all the green space so that's what they're doing right now trimming up everything but this here is the main entrance to the property this here is the reception but look at all the Green Space guys incredible now all of these surrounding the reception area are also Villas there's more heading off into this direction you know what I'll actually show you guys around first before we head on in there hello before we actually head on into the reception because there's people in there and um they're doing some maintenance right now at the moment now I love this place because well it's so green it's secluded and you really are away from many tourists now there's only a few families actually here at the moment which makes it very very nice for an escape I mean look at this how relaxing does this place look now I'm gonna be jumping on in the pool here in a second because man it is hot right now and nothing looks better than that pool at the moment so yeah plenty of places to lounge around they got tables beach chairs umbrellas bean bags all kinds of cool stuff a couple more Villas over in that direction mine is obviously up there you guys seen it earlier all right let's make our way down to the beach and let's check out this area nobody's reading books you know that's something I don't do I don't read books maybe that's something I should start I'm not sure I've never been too fond on books so it probably broaden up my vocabulary a little bit oh cool so they got a little um Beach showers right here wow this looks amazing so yeah right now it's high tide but in a little bit you'll see plenty of Shoreline actually last night um the sand went out quite far so there's plenty of places to walk around looks amazing huh you can see the Surfers out into the distance just shredding the Gnar that's also something I have never tried yet um desurfing now everybody comes to baligama to serve it's just that well I'm out here working so I don't want to risk any injuries and I actually talked to a surf School a couple days ago and I asked them well what are the most common injuries for beginners and they're like well you can pull like your knee um out of place shoulder out of place things like that are very common and I was like okay sold not doing it so yeah guys not doing that actually let's walk down here let's see if we can open this door let me know what you guys think of this property so far is it a place you guys would love to stay or would you take a hard pass if you say you'll take a hard pass there's something seriously wrong with you man wow stunning and there's Villas all around this area but I'm convinced we're definitely staying in the best one now the prices of the rooms actually vary I believe they have rooms even starting at like 150 a night um I believe the room I'm staying in the Samaya Villa is actually around 250 US dollars a night if I'm not mistaken um let me double check that though because I've been booking so many hotels this trip that I've completely lost track of the different places and the prices that I've been paying so yeah gorgeous Place huh guys now I'm actually on my third week here in Sri Lanka right now but this region of the country is what I've enjoyed the most Marissa veligama I really love the beach Vibes really love the um the small Surfer Town Vibes and it's very very relaxed of course I started the trip in Colombo which was the big city super super hectic then I moved over to hikadua which also it was very calm and chill but man it's definitely a party place like he could do was definitely a party place and um it was full of Russian people there's a lot of Russian people here but there it was next level like everything was written in Russian and no one wanted to talk to anybody and it wasn't really My Vibe here though I've interacted with so many people there's so many people from Europe um the US other Asian countries here visiting this area of the country right now and you know it's nice it's nice to interact with others I just didn't get that in hikadua now you know what I could really go for right now a morning beer a morning brewski so I'm actually gonna head back to the room see if I can't order myself a little morning brew and just go sit by the pool or you know what maybe I'll start off with like a smoothie or a coconut I don't know that's the best part about life you got choices right especially when you're staying in a beautiful place like this that has everything to offer you you got choices my friends now to be completely honest with you guys I was I always used to wonder I was one of those people I said you know what let's sit right here for a second oh oh yeah this is a vibe just gotta go put on my swim shorts now in a tank top but you know for a long time I always wonder like why do people spend so much money staying in these beautiful like hotels in a country like Sri Lanka where you can stay for thirty dollars but then now that I've been experimenting and staying in these very beautiful hotels and resorts Villas I completely understand why I mean this is so beautiful so um clean so relaxing I've stayed in so many hotels this trip that you have to sleep with a mosquito net around you I actually woke up in my Airbnb a few days ago with a massive spider and we were actually well because I'm driving to Took Rental around we're actually put in a group chat and I ran into a pitcher a few days ago where this girl woke up with the Cobra next to her bed imagine that like I'm good man but yeah after staying in places like this I completely understand why um people do this especially for a few nights just to wind down this is totally worth it especially at the end of your trip like come stay in a beautiful Villa like this wind down don't leave the property and just you know take a chill day to yourself and I'm actually really starting to like that I'm really starting to like the idea behind chill days you know for a while well you guys know me I'm one of those people that has so much energy I'm always trying to do something um and even though right now I'm saying I'm gonna chill here all day there's probably a chance that I'm not because I have ADHD like crazy and I always got to be doing something and um yeah when it comes to pulling beaches man I get pretty bored after a little bit like I'll hang around for like an hour or two but then after that I'm like all right I'm trying to go do something now but if I was here with Gladys or here as a couple with somebody man this place yeah it's definitely not worth leaving I mean I'd stay here for a long time but yeah I just got two nights here I wanted to wind down relax and obviously share this experience with you guys because I've been trying to mix up the contrast in the videos I want to show you guys the both well both the luxury side of Sri Lanka and of course the local side now the family that I actually gave the donation to they live literally a half a mile from here so you can see the contrast in um what Sri Lanka has to offer for tourists a little bit of everything all right let's do one more little lap wow look at that bird it's beautiful let me see if I can get a little closer oh no oh it's beautiful super blue well yeah guys I'm gonna go put my shorts on and I'm jumping in the pool actually I gotta put on my sunscreen too you know what let me show you guys the lobby so these this here is a villa as well if you got these bottom Villas you obviously get these couches and these chairs right by the poolside but I'm okay with those ones those are the ones that are actually included with our stay and what I love most about it is that they always include beautiful towels for all the guests so super nice and what I noticed yesterday is that they take all the Coconuts off the palm trees that's one thing that scares me like crazy are coconuts on palm trees I was actually sitting on Marissa Beach a few days ago and one fell right next to me and I was like okay yep I'm done here here though you don't have to worry about that they take them all off the trees so the trees are naked you don't have to worry about no coconuts hitting you definitely a Vibe all right let me show you guys like the lobby area because this is beautiful so yeah this here is the lobby reception area and they'll always play like some really nice piano music well like they have lobster as a today's special so you can actually order anything you'd like from their menu all day long so this is where you check in very beautiful lobby huh all right let's head upstairs very impressive property let me know what you guys think of this um 250 a night luxury villator because you know I don't often times do these videos but I just started really hard here in Sri Lanka and I'm really liking them because it gives you guys an idea of all of the different forms of accommodation you guys can book oh well hold on I'm losing my train of thought there's the key well as I was mentioning I like filming these videos for you guys because it gives you an idea of what different accommodations look like and I actually really enjoy watching these videos when well prior to me traveling because it gave me an idea of really awesome places to stay really cool unique accommodations and I'm actually really thinking about booking a villa that is shaped like an elephant for tomorrow night over in a different part of the country but this room absolutely meant it is amazing so nice oh so here's the menu let me show you guys a little bit of the menu I actually need to get some work done for you guys but that might have to wait a little bit so the menu let's see beers four dollars lion can four dollars Carlsberg three dollars not bad at all actually a burger bits burger oh no that's a beer six dollars you can order a wine six dollars sangria six dollars that pass five three eight dollars man the prices are not bad at all actually very very nice what's in here general info oh cool breakfast so the breakfast selection is actually quite nice like you can choose from Poached Eggs a country breakfast a Sri Lankan omelette Madam's breakfast I actually went with the typical traditional Sri Lankan breakfast this morning however tomorrow I think I'm gonna go with the Omelette just to try something different of course they have all-day dining they have um gazpacho soup roasted pumpkin creamy soup tom yum soup you know what that's actually what I need right now I don't know if you guys heard in the beginning of the video my throat's a little ugh today so um might have to order some tom yum salad ceviche no all kinds of stuff like tuna steaks okay the tuna steaks are a bit pricey 19 but also not too bad I mean because you are staying in a in a five-star Villa and of course you're gonna be paying five-star prices but even 19 most of you guys watching these videos we come from places countries that are a lot more expensive like a 19 tuna steak you're never gonna find in California you know what I mean all right well I'm gonna get dressed and I'll see you guys downstairs at the pool I've been hanging out by the pool for about an hour now I actually fell asleep for around 30 minutes and I just ordered myself a green juice and I think it's time to jump into the pool hmm this is delicious exactly what I needed you know what I'm taking it with me yeah let's jump on into the pool guys I'm curious to see how this water feels usually the pools here in Sri Lanka oh that's beautiful that's perfect that's what they say usually they're a bit on the colder side of things but no this one is spot on oh yeah I love me a pool and water where you don't actually like have to stick your toe in and see how cold it is first well that's just the kind of guy I am I'm like dude I can't jump into some cold ass water just just going for it I know what you guys are about to say you're a little but it is what it is oh this is nice this is living um now I must say what I really really like about this place is that the staff is very attentive they walk around and ask you if you're doing okay if there's anything that you need and what I've really enjoyed about this oh excuse me and what I think really makes this place special is all of the open Green Space now I was actually just talking to a couple from Denmark who was here and they were telling me that this is one of the better hotels they've stayed in ever in their life and that's what they really enjoy about it was the same thing I actually really enjoyed about it is that um the premises are so big that you don't really like find yourself next to any other guest which is very nice I mean you can come here relax have a nice peaceful morning peaceful evening by the pool underneath the palm tree you're not gonna hear people talking that's very nice especially um when you come to one of these places to just relax for a few hours or a few days I should say okay yeah this pool feels amazing now I actually want to go out into the beach here in a minute but the waves do look a little bit rough here in veligama this place is known for surfing so there's a lot of really good waves a lot of surfers out there and I don't surf so um yeah I haven't been really enjoying that side of it now I've been swimming in the beach quite a bit but not surfing and I told you guys why earlier I'm not getting hurt while I'm in Sri Lanka I'm loving this place so much now you know what let's actually talk a little bit about how Sri Lanka is going the last few days so to be honest I've been enjoying it so much I think this is going to go down as one of my favorite countries in the world the people I've said it time and time again so hospitable so nice and very welcoming every time you talk to somebody from Sri Lanka it's always a an authentic conversation it's never like oh I want to sell you this I want you to buy this that you find in many other countries in the world here it's all authentic interactions and I really really love that now I have a feeling that I'm gonna definitely be back here later on this year actually the rental company the tuk-tuk rental company they host a tournament called the tuk-tuk tournament once a year and it takes place in October where you drive around the island in a tuk-tuk and complete a bunch of challenges so I think I want to come back out here for that later on this year and who knows maybe I'll find myself here even a little bit before that this is amazing I have no idea why people want to go to Bali and all these other places in the world when you can come here to Sri Lanka where it's not you know overly infested with tourists and you know you can enjoy some nice peaceful time by the ocean and what I really love about this coastline is that a lot of the beaches are like very virgin beaches you don't find Resorts with uh the beaches blocked off because it belongs to them like you do in places like Mexico Dominican Republic in Jamaica where every Beach was a private beach here you can pretty much wander anywhere you want and even the beach is right here in front of the resort like people can just literally walk straight through and access the beach so that's one thing I really loved about Sri Lanka what else the food amazing I've already touched on the people and I must say um traveling around Sri Lanka is also incredibly easy now of course I'm doing it by Tick Tock but you can hello sir but you can also get around very easily on public buses trains that's actually what most of the Backpackers and people do that are staying in the hostels they travel around on local buses and it's extremely affordable and very easy to do in fact I want to come back one day even though I'm having an amazing time with the tuk-tuk I'm coming back one day for sure to just travel around on Bus and Train I think that would be really really nice it's like a celery spinach kiwi juice I don't know why I ordered this but I figured well I'm having a self-care detox kind of day so I was like you know what let me get my let me get my white girl along so that's what I'm doing I'm getting my white girl on yeah I know some of you guys are going to take offense to that but it's okay I'm used to people being sensitive on the internet very nice now there's also a lot of wildlife here on this property as well I saw a piece some peacocks this morning I saw a monkey earlier right here and I've also saw seen like these I don't know what they are they look almost like a like a chipmunk but they're slightly bigger I'm not too sure what they are but I've seen a lot of them here in Sri Lanka and here on this property I've seen quite a bit but yeah guys this is where I'm chilling amazing place right let me know what you guys think of the eralia Villa so far would you guys stay here all right well I'm gonna enjoy my time here at the pool and I'll see you guys see you guys in a few well the sun is about to set and yeah I spent the whole day lounging at the pool but I figured why not let's go walk along the beach right now and let me just show you guys how beautiful this place is Oh wrong way because I actually haven't walked down here at all today and now it looks like there's very little sand to walk on oh look there's a surfer going out there to shred actually he's about to be the only one out there I don't know how people aren't afraid to be in the ocean by themselves especially here the water looks rough and there's a lot of rocks oh yeah he's out there he's on his way he's on his way to shred well yeah guys I've had an incredible day incredible day lounging around I fell asleep underneath the umbrella for around an hour oh yeah maybe I shouldn't walk down there I got all my stuff in my pockets but you know what why not let's just walk down here a little bit but yeah Sri Lanka a truly special place this country is so beautiful and not just this region as you're driving along the Beach Road the entire time you're surrounded by incredible views just like this one oh actually there's a female surfer on our way out right now it's quite crazy these people go hella far out close to where those waves are breaking out in that direction but yeah these Cliffs are beautiful the palm tree some Silhouettes that stick out with the sunset behind it everything about this place is gorgeous let me know what you guys thought about this hotel in the comment section let me know if you guys would come here and visit this location and as far as price is concerned wow I think it's definitely a great value for what you're paying I mean you go and stay in a place like this anywhere out anywhere outside of Sri Lanka and you're going to be spending thousands of dollars a night I mean look at the prices of places in Maldives in Bali for the same um how can you say it for the same quality of room it's quite ridiculous so 250 a night amazing deal great value especially with this view this view is priceless we can't really put a price on this at all I mean it is stunning definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity oh and you actually have somebody out there swimming snorkeling okay yeah this is definitely um Rising quite a bit well from here guys I think I'm gonna bring this video to an end right now I'm actually about to order some dinner at the hotel they got a nice menu I'm gonna order myself a chicken burger because I haven't had a burger in like three weeks and I really want one but I'll leave you with one more view of this incredible place and I hope that so far I have been able to convince you to come to Sri Lanka Sri Lanka needs the tourism I'll put something in my mouth it needs the tourism um the economy is slowly recovering but you can help contribute to that recovery by coming here and spending your money on this beautiful island because the people need you the businesses need you and why not you should be coming to Sri Lanka anyways just because this country is gorgeous and there's not many other places in the world who I like it anyways later guys I'm about to go relax a little bit longer I remember [Music]
