Cinnamon Grand Hotel is our home away from home. We left Sri Lanka 1979 our whole family migrated to Australia 45 years ago. Every time we visit, stay at this hotel. The staff and management do look after us like their family. We felt so homely. Best hotel in Sri Lanka because of the friendly, caring staff. At the restaurant, if you ask something special, Sri Lankan dish they will make sure to prepare for us. They have a shoe polish guy, too. I don't know why this hotel touched our hearts compared to all the other 5 star hotels we stayed. Honestly, the hotel environment, the lobby at night time, you can sit with a drink or coffee watch hustle and bustle with soft music. The weddings bridal couples. So much is happening never boring. My favourite coffee shop with yummi Sri Lankan pastries and cakes. Our last visit 2018 for our wedding anniversary and had the sea food dishes including crab curry. Their jewellery shop does sell the best gems. Now we are old age the journey from Australia too tiring. When I watch your video, I feel so home sick. Thanks for sharing.
It is the most Beautiful Paradise I have ever been to for a holiday. It has amazing beaches, a clean country, and humble people. All the best, beautiful, amazing Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka gets the lowest number of tourists in Asia? Less than 2.5 million a year. France gets over 90 million a year, Spain over 80 million a year, Thailands over 40 million , Malaysia over 30 million - and even Maldives get more tourists than Sr Lanka. Can anyone explain why Sri Lanka get such low numbers of tourists?
Thank you soo much for visiting our country and appreciating your positive feedback of Sri Lankan hospitality .As a Sri Lankan ,I want to say thank you again for all of your effort ❤
Yad and Dace ,You two seriously need an official spot one of the Discovery Channels travel platforms . This episode was delightful. I loved the part of the intro where you and Dace and Aya were in the pool and Aya was staring at you and then she started laughing all of the sudden. That was priceless !
You and your family deserve to treat yourself once in a while to the finer things in life. You picked a breath taking hotel. From the decor and room furnishings very elegant. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food looked amazing. I enjoy that Dace and you both contribute to the conversation. Thank you for sharing this video. God bless you and your beautiful family.
Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka. I like your video. You doing really clear and truly how what you can feel. Also I really appreciate it about you are feeling explaining about Sri Lanka hospitality. God bless you. enjoy.🫶🫶👍👍✌️✌️
i am a sri lankan who migrated to canada in 92, i have come on occasions for weddings , just for 10 days , and when i lost my only brother who lived there, i have not see the country fully, so much has changed since i left , this hotel used to be called hotel oberoi ( i hope i spelled it correct ) ,,when i lived there, i am looking forward to viste the country for a month to see the place fully,, the hostility is so good in sri-lanka yogan
I am glad that you guys are enjoying my motherland though I am stuck here in gloomy London past 22 years, however, living is Srilanka in near future with my retirement something I have been looking forward verymych, I am sure SL is one of the best place on earth anyone to visit and enjoy the true hospitality. Good luck to you and family.
Thank you for sharing, honestly i understand your feeling towards London! It really can get like that. If you have a chance to get away every few months even to a country near by it will really help.
Nice video. Woodapples grow in abundance in the southern part of the country. Riped woodapples are way more sweeter and the meat looks dark brown when its best. You can smell it even before you open the shell. For me the best part is the thin layer right on the inside of the shell. Add a little bit sugar and it tastes amazing. Next time try fresh woodapple drink if you get a chance. You won't regret it. 🙂
I know Mr Virosh Perera back when I was a uni student in Melbourne 😂 He was one of my lecturers.. Good to see him after 16 long years😮 wow what a coincidence❤
Hi Dace, you did really well with making Konda Kewum so even after years of trying still my konda Kewum can be missing the konda(the top hair part, in sinhalese konde is hair and as it has a top part like a hair bun we call it konda kewum) Yad, you were doing well with the hoppers. So glad to see you guys enjoying our beautiful island and personally Cinnamon Grand is one of my favourite places to visit. Whenever I come to SL I always visit the place at least for a coffee. Cinnamon Noodles restaurant also a nice place. Much love from Australia.
You have a lovely family. Your daughter is precious! I don’t eat meat often , but I would have been all in at the steak house. Looking forward to following your adventures. Cheers!!
Some people do have heavy breakfasts.. But its probably about personal preferance, as per myself I prefer string hoppers or something like bread in the morning.. With some less spicy curries❤
Nice video, however, bit misleading. Unless you have informed the hotel and you have noted to be a RUclipsr, You will not get any such welcome. The staff would be very warm with a smile, but there won't be lamp lights, private tours to the room etc, So I hope everyone would not develop such high expectations
I don't know about other hotels but I have been to Cinnamon Grand a few times and the staff is very friendly and very good service. We are just ordinary locals and they treat us very well. I love the Sri Lankan restaurant Nuga Gama. Excellent food.
We do not eat dosas like sandwidch in South India and Srilanka.. you need to dip in chutney and sambhar including fish or chicken gravy.. use your fingers.... Same to AAPAM aka #hoppers too.. you need to dip and eat... Not like a bread sandwitch.. you must ask the host or people in diners before shooting the shot of each and every dish.. In how to eat the dishes in traditional manner...
Dip n’ Eat isn’t a traditional custom for foods like Hoppers, Crispy Dosa, Rotty, Chinese Rolls & Pastries in Sri Lanka. Maybe in south India Can find them in roadside shops too.. Eat on the Go..
I’m Sri Lankan living in a western country for many years. People can eat their food however they like it as long as they eat in a civilised manner. Dip and eat is not an always a custom for SL food.😊

Hi Dace, you did really well with making Konda Kewum so even after years of trying still my konda Kewum can be missing the konda(the top hair part, in sinhalese konde is hair and as it has a top part like a hair bun we call it konda kewum)
Yad, you were doing well with the hoppers.
So glad to see you guys enjoying our beautiful island and personally Cinnamon Grand is one of my favourite places to visit. Whenever I come to SL I always visit the place at least for a coffee. Cinnamon Noodles restaurant also a nice place.
Much love from Australia.
Thank you for your kind words we had a great time trying to cook the food!!
You have a lovely family. Your daughter is precious! I don’t eat meat often , but I would have been all in at the steak house. Looking forward to following your adventures. Cheers!!
Thank you so much! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the video! ❤️
Thank you, Lisa! The steak was a perfection on the plate.
Just wow😍
Love the steak. Never been to Cinnamon Grant Hotel though I’m was a Srilankan. Hoping to go there one day.

15.44 star fruits😊
Very delicious! 🙌
She tried the hardest dessert at the first go😂😂.. Konda kevum are even hard for locals to make.. To shape it actually❤
Chef Khan set me up for fail 😂
Loool 10/10 for effort!!
Is there nightclubs and bars???
Nice 👍
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Wood apple is hard to be eaten alone.. We mix it with coconut milk and sugar to make a drink.. Eating it is a bit bitter experience
Thank you for sharing, will try this soon next time with coconut milk 😊
I’m gonna have to try that next time
White/Brown Sugar on top of wood apple is the best..
Oh that’s the trick then! Will try it next time.
I’ll try it that way next time!!
Some people do have heavy breakfasts.. But its probably about personal preferance, as per myself I prefer string hoppers or something like bread in the morning.. With some less spicy curries❤
It’s nice to have a choice 😊
String hoppers sounds delicious!!! Thanks for sharing ❤️
❤ 🙏 🇱🇰
❤️🇱🇰❤️
Mate, you should try Ministry of Crab 🦀
I’ve heard a lot about it!! I need to get down there
Most Sri Lankans are rice eaters. They have rice for all three meals with choice of curries.
That’s a great point! Sri Lankan curries are incredible. 😋
My fave is crab curry! 😊
Your very handsome looking sir

Nice video, however, bit misleading. Unless you have informed the hotel and you have noted to be a RUclipsr, You will not get any such welcome. The staff would be very warm with a smile, but there won't be lamp lights, private tours to the room etc, So I hope everyone would not develop such high expectations
I commented on this exact same thing. This sure is a sponsored video from the hotel.. should have disclosed this
I don't know about other hotels but I have been to Cinnamon Grand a few times and the staff is very friendly and very good service. We are just ordinary locals and they treat us very well. I love the Sri Lankan restaurant Nuga Gama. Excellent food.
👍❤
Not everyone who live in a 5 star hotel are allowed into the kitchen 😂
That's the whole point of why I am filming to show you the cooking experience
Please come 🙏 to kalutara my home 🏡 😊😊😊😊 I amjad from srilanka
Who’s taking the video ?
Myself
Seems you've traveled only in warm countries.... how about coming to Quebec Canada right now when its -20°c? 😂
Haha one day!! As long as it’s still sunny ☀️
Why don't they use gloves when handling the cooked meat ??
Most fine dining restaurants don’t to be honest!
I ❤ steak
Legend! 🥩 thanks for making it :)
