$56 Luxury Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 сер 2019
- I arrived back in Colombo to find it pouring with rain. My plans of exploring the city were ruined but thankfully I had the facilities of a luxury hotel to enjoy.
I arrived at the Marino Beach Hotel via and auto rickshaw that tried to scam me. I was following the route on Google Maps and he missed the turning twice to take me all the way down to Colombo 06 area and back up to Colombo 03 where my hotel was. He turned a 6km journey into a 12km one. I decided to stand up for myself and refuse to pay the full amount.
It was a nice stay at Marino Beach, other than the loud construction work going on directly opposite the swimming pool area. Perhaps that's part of the reason the rooms were so cheap at only $56. Incredible value for the standard of room and facilities in the hotel.

Dale I watched both of them yesterday! 👍😀
Love your vids keep up the good work
Hope every tourists use their common sense when they use tuk tuks. Not all are scammers, but having one is more than enough to destroy reputation. Really recommend to use Uber in Western province which includes Colombo and Negombo, Katunayake air port.
Furthermore, if you really need to know the tuk tuk prices, its Rs. 50 for first Km, and Rs.30 or Rs.35 per extra km. So just check distance between to locations you need to go and do some maths.
Hey Dale, Thanks for supporting Wonderboyjeremey. He should learn to speak continuously like you to camera. We stayed same hotel couple of weeks back in Jafna and was a nice experience. Are you still in Sri Lanka? Need to treat you with a meal and a journey.
We stayed in March in Marino Colombo and had great time and very delicious breakfast . Tried the infinity pool . I love srilanka and it’s cuisine
Thank you for your extended stay in Sri Lanka. We appreciate your visit to our country and apologise for dishonest people like the tuk tuk driver.
Priyath Fonseka is that you who drove the tuk?
@@TG-ce9dx haha
Why r u apologizing, this will lower ur self respect
@@rasikajayakodi9989 no it wont be on life review
@@rasikajayakodi9989 apologies infact earns respect
I am Sri Lankan. Actually I hate these tuk tuk drivers. They make ruin tourist journeys
Don't take normal taxi's (Tuk-Tuks) here in SL. As soon as they see a foreigner they charge higher fees. Pick-me or Uber is the way to go. Even if they think you are new in town they also trying to scam locals too. Really bad people (Not all). This is why we need proper regulations for these guys.
Tuk tuk drivers across ALL Asia do the same.
@Kristof Alexy I find a taxi better value than a tuk tuk. The less English they speak usually the lower the fare!
I just came back from Srilanka after a month stay. I miss it already and watching your videos helps alot!
Glad that you enjoyed my country.
I visited the same Hotel end of february last year and stayed for 3 nights, and i realy enyojed it
Hello from Atlanta, Georgia USA.
Great videos, thank you for allowing us to share in your travels fellow Scottish man.
It’s because of people like you that our country is regaining it’s tourism. Thanks!
This looks like one of the better hotels you've stayed at. The pool had a great view (despite construction) and the gym was better than most for sure. Looks like it was a good price too. I would definitely stay here if I was in the area.
I agree and that one in India too was fabulous with his own little dip pool and outdoor shower area. Huge room that was my favourite one.
Do not take normal tuks in Colombo. especially near pettah. They do the same for local people as well. Many scammers.
I personally don't take normal tuk tuks because of that reason. Either use pick me or uber. That's very cheap

Line avoid scammers 👌🏼
me, being a srilankan, dont take normal tuk😂 they scam us as well😂
I was also in Sri Lanka two times in January of this year. I enjoyed this country so much even if my time here was so brief. I like your demeanor.
You've got some big 🥜, Dale...lol. Straight-up telling the tuk tuk guy, you ripped me off and you're only getting THREE HUNDRED!....😂 Good stuff, bud!
Best youtuber with the most original content ever, with the amazing voice on top!
Such a great video.I am damn sure that no one can explore my country in such a beautiful way.I really appreciate your effort.
They are playing the same song in the gym in Sri Lanka which is being played in my GYM in Germany.
I guess gym songs are pretty standard worldwide.
Hi dale nice having you in our country enjoying it with everyone.I really got angry at the tuk tuk scammer something similar happened to me as well.Enjoy your stay dale
Thumbs up! Awesome video as always..
Btw, I love the way you invent new ways of eating Sri lankan food. The Egg hopper roll seems the way to go😅
Great to see you in Srilanka once again.Hope you'll have a longer stay. #dalethegreat
Hahaha nobody ever taught me how to eat them so I just do what seems easiest. 😆👍
Brilliant content as always Dale
Thank you very much for your videos, really helps to plan my own trip.
Great video Dale, been binge watching..
Awesome Mariano beach. Thanks for showing Dale!
My pleasure Andrew.
Really good price, I'm impressed with that place,
Makes me wonder how they get away with charging up to 25 dollars for a capsule hotel.
In Off season hotels are cheap in Sri Lanka
That hotel was amazing Dale, great video pal
Another great Vlog Dale, thumbs up from me👍.
Nice man you just roasted that tuk driver
Just what he deserves 😁👍
Very nice hotel! By the way, I love your accent 🤗🤗

Great vlog Dale 🤘 Hotel looked great value also😁 safe travels
Great vid Dale! Good on you for giving that scam tuk tuk driver the correct fees! I’m of Indian origin but such stuff is commonplace on subcontinent! Majority just want to earn living and are very honest! Always a few like this!
Great video! $56 you couldn't even get a small room here for that. That was luxury and the arcade was the best part for me. 😊👍
Your Videos are raw and unedited That's why they are so Brilliant Love your videos Dale
What do you mean unedited? If he could just put them up unedited he could save hours of time. Of course they are edited. I think you mean, he keeps in small conflicts and things. Which is sensible.
Unedited ?? You must be trippin
You are a great vlogger Dale !
I commend you for showing my country to the whole world.Thank you😍
That's one hell of a rooftop! Very nice!
Lovely vid man 🔥❤️
Good for you for watching where the tuk-tuk driver was going! Thanks Dale, your accented comments are always so entertaining!
Not going to let these guys take me for a mug!
Hitting up the pool Hugh Hefner style!! Too funny bro. Keep the uploads coming. Great video.
Hey Dale, I really like your videos. I'm a Gemologist and hospitality professional here frm Sri Lanka in Ratnapura area, the city of Gems 💎 . If you like to do a video about traditional gem mining and processing , i would like to assit you. Because Sri Lanka is world famous for Ceylon Sapphires , Tea and Spices mainly. But not much vloggers is doing videos about the Gem industry.
What an amazing hotel, thanks again for a great video!
My pleasure Ash.
This hotel looks lovely. I am enjoying your travels.
That hotel looked sweet m8, another great vid dale your accent is brilliant over there the Scotsman with 2 strong legs 🙂
Nice one Dale.. cheers mate..
Thankyou very much for entertaining and informative series of videos. You have given me the inspiration to plan a Sri Lanka/Seychelles 2020 vacation. And even my 92 year old mother says you look like Tom Cruise!
😆 thanks. Enjoy the trip.
Such a luxurious hotel with so many facilities.. worth of it for that price. 👌👍👍
God bless you Dale, love to watch your videos.
Cool blog m8 keep it up👍
Thank you sooo much for visiting sri lanka😊❤love your videos😁
Good one Dale, thank you
awesome vid bro...best arcade ive seen in a while...what a selection of games
Yeah every other city in the world is getting rid of their arcades and here they've made a new one 😎👍
Beautiful hotel
Makes me want to visit Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Do you like to visit Sri Lanka?you are welcome! I will hope your coming and I can help you
@@gayankumara9380 I went to sri lanka a beautiful country but there were many scammers 😅 .just that .all it is a good country
Beautiful hot tub in the room.... you should have found someone to join you in the jacuzzi tub!!! Nice vid... entertaining.
I forgot to watch this one so I went back to look it while I wait for your new videos the arcade looks sick and that hotel was fantastic for that price👌🏽😎
Marino Beach Colombo is listed at $75 at Agoda and more in other booking sites. You got a bargain. Smart!
I think it varies day-by-day based on demand.
Nice hotel and seems that you enjoyed their pool the most.
That pool view!!
Progressive !!!! Nice to see you relaxing in Colombo
glad you approve :P
Very nice vlogs!
The wee video from wee Dale in wee Trincomalee was wee good.

Wow beautiful Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Thank for Sharing
sri lanka is becoming more developed
Well my wife and I are staying at Marino Beach for a couple of nights just based on what we saw in the video. Thanks for showing us around!
Brilliant Matthew. Enjoy!
@@Dale_Philip Hey we are here, very good recommendation! This is the first time I have felt clean and cool in two weeks. This is better than a lot of other 5 star hotels we have been to like Kingsbury, Cinnamon Grand, Swiss Residence, Heritance Tea Factory, etc
i am live in outside from colombo (rural area ) same thing doing this tuk drivers for locals .because we dont know roads and we never use google maps like you . your work superb !
After watch harlad video i came to my bed have nap. But i receive notification from your channel you upload new vlog for srilanka 🇱🇰 . So i came to enjoying this vlog 🐘🐒🐅🐋🐬🐬🐳🦀🦐🌻 🇱🇰 🙏
I am Sri Lankan I never take tuk tuks from the road. Cause they cheat us & they fight for the money. Order Uber always...
A.P DeZa If you go far from Colombo, better to ride with PickMe!, coz it’s available everywhere in the island,
Mahesh Jayawickrama Arachchige yes Uber or Pick Me. Which ever helps
why no grab ?
@@halimsalim1732 There is no Grab in SL
We went to Marino Mall , last month !
I love the Waves shop there. 🤩
Dale makes basic SL food look tasty 😂❤️
Hello Dale.. apologies behalf of my country. However your reactions are very good..Great!! Next time write down the tuk tuk no. You can complain to taxi drivers union.
You wont believe how appreciative I am of this video Dale. We are booked to visit this hotel next year. Luckily I selected the Panoramic view, facing the sea. Your room looked so nice to. Live the fact that there is shopping centre attached. Thanks so much. Btw, what's the out come of Rambo the game? You killed them all? Haha xx 👍😊
Well I died in Rambo but managed to get 20 minutes worth of fun from my 300 rupees. 😄👍
Great....that's a winner itself.. 😘
Dale Philip, you doing really good job
Hello Dale...I’m a new subscriber of your channel. Now I’ve addicted to your videos. Congrats for your future success. Much love from Sri lanka❤️
Thanks for joining me on my adventures. Share the vids with friends if you like. :)
Surely 👍
Another great video
Pretty swanky place there Dale .Nice view from the pool . Back home that hotel room would easily be over $100 . I’m a huge huge fan of traveling to countries where my money gets a bigger bang for a buck . Cheers pal !
Yeah it was my last couple of nights in Sri Lanka for this trip and I spent way less than I thought I would on the trip overall so was happy to get a nice hotel in Colombo. I definitely got my money's worth out of it, using the pool and jaccuzis and steam room and obviously cleared out that entire box of tea hahaha
Thank you dale for coming to help my motherland
Dear Dale, We had a lot of fun at the Marino Mall Food court too. Missed the gaming court.. but you covered that part for us ^^. Nice to see you enjoying yourself here. The rains are due because of the SW monsoon .. (one could have easily mistaken you as a merman ;) /runs away!/) Keep on enjoying, Take care!^^ (& watch your step!)
Thank you. Happy I found something fun to do in the rain. :)
superv collection good clearing information.
mate ur videos are so gid cheers
thanks :)
17.40 Egg hoppers is my favourite bro...love it🤗
No flies on you Dale, I won't have any piss takers either, lol. 😀
Exactly. They need to learn not to try to overcharge a Scotsman. Wasting their time. hahaha
Legendary the Scottish! 😂
Wow lovely hotel very much affordable price👍👍..srilanka is beautiful..!
Great Video Quality

Hiiii Dale!!! I’m a Sri Lankan and I hope you have fun in Colombo! 🇱🇰❤️ Don’t forget to go on some good food tours here 😂
I make my own food tour by just walking around and eating everything I see. :)
Dale Philip Looking forward to another video on Colombo then 👍
Nice hotel, you handled that tuk tuk scammer well.
Yes, I don't take any crap from scam tuk tuk drivers.
@@Dale_Philip Yup, best not to nab him and let him waste his petrol on the scenic route.
‘American type food like pizzas’
Some Italian man is crying rn
Your joy at discovering the video arcade was surprising and kind of funny.
This room is very beautiful. The night view of the swimming pool is just wow 😍
Thanks for u
