What did you like most about Sri Lanka?

Everything! The people were friendly, the scenery was beautiful and the places we stayed at were stunning.

What did you like most about Maldives?

We liked everything about the Maldives, the sea plane transfer was an experience, the island resort [Reethi Beach Resort] was fabulous, staying in a room on the beach with your own swing and sunbeds was a unique experience.

What did you like least about Sri Lanka?

The litter. There is so much plastic lying around.

What did you like least about Maldives?

Having to pay for water!

What is your opinion of your accommodation in Sri Lanka?

We loved the [Heritance] Kandalama [Dambulla] and the Stafford Bungalow {Nuwara Eliya]. Excellent hotels, very comfortable and great locations and stunning views.

The cinnamon hotel in Kandy [Cinnamon Citadel] was a disappointment after we had been spoilt. My wife ,father-in-law and I all had upset stomachs during our stay. To the extent that my father-in-law missed the Perahera. I saw the omelette cook drop the spatula on the floor, pick it up, wipe it with his dirty rag and get ready to use it again. I asked him to clean it. It was taken into the kitchen and run under the tap. Just wonder what the of the hygiene is like in the rest of the kitchen, not good as we all had upset stomachs!

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

Ravi was a delight. He met us at the airport and guided us throughout our trip. He guided us on what to do and where we could go and what we should see. Ravi adapted the itinerary to suit and looked after my father-in-law when we were doing activities that he could not do.

Ravi made our trip to Sri Lanka!

It was fine. Nothing special. [SriLankan Airlines – Economy Class]
