What did you like most about Sri Lanka?

The people, the flora and fauna, the scenery.

What did you like least about Sri Lanka?

Congested cities. The heat (at times) – 35C.

What is your opinion of your accommodation in Sri Lanka?

Excellent throughout. Impeccable service.

Two individual downsides:

  • Overnight road noise (trucks) at The Frangipani Tree [Unawatuna].
  • Approach road to [Jetwing] Warwick Gardens – verging on the dangerous.

What is your opinion of your chauffeur guide in Sri Lanka?

Chathura was excellent – courteous, helpful, thoughtful, knowledgeable on history, culture and wildlife. Also a first-rate driver. Thanks to him, many of the stresses and strains of tourism were alleviated.

What is your opinion of your flights to and from Sri Lanka?

Emirates Business Class – we got what we paid for – the best. [London Gatwick departure]

Any other comments?

We would have been much more comfortable in a larger car. The vehicle we had had limited visibility and leg-room, and had we taken more luggage (we are light travellers) it would have had to share the car with us. The a/c in the back was not ideal. We would happily have paid more for something bigger and better.

The whale-watching from Mirissa was not as well organised or regulated as others we have experienced. Frankly, it was a bit of a scrum, not helped by the lack of consideration by some nationalities.

Please give us a call if you would like to discuss in any more detail.
