The two ficuses in Royal Botanical Garden, Kandy, Sri Lanka

Some cool places to get photos in the Royal Botanical Gardens - a pleasant way to spend a few hours. The bats were incredible.
The Royal Botanical Gardens were a great place to visit large spaces for a picnic and beautiful trees and shrubs. The avenues of palm trees are spectacular and the fernery such a lovely, shady place to escape the heat. Our favourite part by far are the trees the fruit bats call home; listen, and look up – you'll ear them chattering, and see them hanging upside down with their furry bodies turned to the sun, every so often you'll see one or two stretch their wings, or even fly from one roost to another. These bats, unlike most bats, fly by sight not radar – something I didn't know until I visited this most beautiful park. #localsecrets

7.8/10 Good! (8 reviews)
This property is falsely advertised as a 4.5-star hotel; in reality, it falls far short of that standard. It is an old, converted house with dated furnishings, holes in window frames, and a leaking roof. While the staff are friendly—and Smith, in particular, was very persistent in his efforts to ...

9.4/10 Exceptional! (13 reviews)
Enjoyed the gym, pool (very warm), and the room was clean. Enjoyed the welcome drink, even if check-in seemed a tad slow. The service at the bar was also very slow, and we actually cancelled our order and went elsewhere for some food. Breakfast was superb and staff were friendly.

8/10 Very Good! (100 reviews)
The room was spacious and clean, but it needed painting. When we booked we saw photos of the kitchen area and believed we could cook food in the room, however the hob was not connected to the gas and there was no cooking equipment. So this made our stay more expensive as we had to eat out all the ...
