I've been travelling all over the world for over 25 years, and it is in the Chaaya Citadel Hotel of Kandy that for the first time we had our money stolen in our room by the cleaning staff. And the management hasn't been equal to the situation, since the numbers of those under suspicion didn't outnumber two or three persons, those who had cleaned the room during the day. The investigation wasn't that difficult to make... A hotel strictly to avoid if you're attached to your valuables !

Hi We booked a tour with Paragon Holidays for July 2010, after getting prices from different agents we choose them for the best rates, they offered us great luxury hotels such as tea trails and also we requested for a cheaper place in Kandy. They offered us a place call The fair Havens. they mailed us information f the property and Pictures. But it is not possible to find more information about this place. Does anyone know anything about this place? or has anyone been there?
It sounds like a nice place but i am just curious
Thanks

Hi there,
It's in Katugastota on the Mahaweli river bank, so a suburb of town; still closer to town than e.g. Chaaya Citadel which is further upstream the river.
We stayed there twice spring 2008, and found a wonderful quality renovated guesthouse. Good modern private bathrooms and spacious rooms. Restaurant is limited (pre-order for dinner as with any guesthouse), but good for B'fast at least.
Hope this helps,
& [Sandya]
Hi Erik and Sandya
Thank you very much for this information, very helpful and we are happy to know you have stayed there.
All the best
Kandy it's a great place to have real ayurvedic massages. We found a great ayurvedic clinic who's run by a former sri lankan olympic games weight-lifting gold medal. The man is massive but if you ar lucky to have him massage you, you'll be in heaven.
A massage followed by a steam bath costs about 2o dollars. The clinic is located next to the Hotel Suisse and its called Ayurvedic traditional Panchekkarma.
Approximately 8 miles from town of Kandy is an enticing wood carving temple of Embekke Devale dating from the 14th century. Elaborate carvings on wooden pillars describing the legendary origin of the devale. The epic of Embekke Varnanawa by Delgahagoda Mudiyanse has it that one of the King Wickrema Bahu II’s consorts named Henakanda Biso Bandara, in association with a drummer,named as Rangama, as told in a miraculous dream is supposed to have built this Devale dedicated to God Kataragama.
Needless to say, the Pub is a most welcomoing places for English or expat. It is pricy and a glass of beer RS200. The balcony is a great place to unwind and meet other travellers. See more pics for street scene.
It's a temple which houses Sri Lanka's most important religious relic - the sacred tooth of Buddha. There are 3 daily ceremonies[6am, noon(I can't remember what time exactly), 6pm] of homage to the Tooth Relic, each attracting white-clad pilgrims carrying lotus blossoms and frangipani.
The relic is open for the public to see only once every 6 years. As you can see from the picture, there's a Chedi that covers the Relic. We Thai people are lucky enough to see this close.
A serene Buddhist temple. You can learn more about the story of the Buddha's tooth that is kept there in the new shrine.
A quiet and spacious place that calms the mind.
You can also take a picture with the elephant outside the temple.
