Stayed at Kosgoda Beach Resort - Kosgoda, Sri Lanka.
|
Kosgoda is a beautiful village on the South west coast of Sri Lanka but is not for those looking for a party holiday. It is perfect for rest and relaxation with a plethora of spas, ayurvedic and otherwise, in the area as well as day trips to moonstone mines, turtle hatcheries, spice gardens and to towns such as Bentota and Galle. Ideal for honeymoon couples or those just looking to get away from it all for a while.

Stayed at Coral Garden Hotel - Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka.
|
We travelled indepently, with a Sri Lankan friend and a driver. We went on a trip in a glass-bottomed boat to see the coral reef. We also saw various fish and a giant turtle. Most other guests at the hotel were part of larger groups, but we were treated very well as independent travellers.

Stayed at Apa Colombo House - Colombo, Sri Lanka.
|
We didn't spend long in Colombo but do visit the 19th century Galle Face Hotel on the seafront. The National Museum is recommended. Getting around the city is easy and cheap by tuk-tuk, but negotiate the price down before you get in. Paradise Road is a smart shop for interesting local nik-naks and souvenirs. But the cafe is overpriced.

Stayed at Elephant Corridor Hotel, The - Sigiriya, Sri Lanka.
|
The location of the hotel means that one can cycle to the Rock Fortress, it's 6km away. A great tip would be to get up really early and organise to cycle to Sigiriya by 7am when the gates open. This way you will be guaranteed to climb the rock in peace and you'll avoid the heat. It's magical at that time of morning when the sun is still rising and the bike ride passes through local communities.

Stayed at Regent Lodge - Kandy, Sri Lanka.
|
Excellent all the way. Sigriya was definately the high point. People are very friendly. Tea plantations and the beaches are definitely worth visiting. Scuba and snorkelling is great as well. Go crazy shopping in Colombo!!
