Sri Lanka Sri Lanka is a Southern Asian island in the Indian Ocean. The capital city is officially Anuradhapura, although Colombo is the commercial capital and many locals actually refer to the city of Kandy as the capital. The most enjoyable way to travel has to be the Tuc-Tuc. These are 'three wheelers' which run all night long and are amazing value for money. The must see in Sri Lanka is the Beautiful 'Temple of the Tooth' which houses a tooth from the Lord Buddha and is generally considered the most holy of shrines. |

Sri Lanka Holiday Review - Seashells Negombo
Submitted by: Lesley
Date of travel: 25-September-2007
We recently stayed at the 2* Seashells Hotel in Negombo which was a really pleasant surprise. The room was terrific for us, we wanted a clean bed, a reasonably sized room with a good bathroom. We had a ground floor room which was about 10 steps from the beach. Amazing. The food was plentiful. Breakfast choice was great, something to please everyone. Fresh fruit, cereal with milk, eggs (scrambled, fried or in an omelette (cooked whilst you wait), breads of all shapes and sizes, traditiional Sri Lanka breakfast (hoppers etc) and then of coure your continental stuff. Fresh juices, butter, cheese etc. If you couldn't find something there to eat, then you must be the fussiest person on the planet. Again, we've heard bad thing about the Seashells Hotel and we find that people must be living in some sort of bubble to find anything major wrong with this hotel. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Service is a bit slow but for goodness sake you're on holiday, take a break from the stress of city life. We liked Negombo but it was a culture shock for us as we've never been anywhere like this before. There are no shops as we would know them but nevertheless, there are plenty of things to see. The pastry shops are worth a visit, try the cakes. We then did a 6 day tour of the island, visiting Kandy, The Elephant Orphanage, Nirwewa Eliya, and many other things in the North of the island, wonderful, wonderful wonderful. The weather was glorious for the whole 14 days except for one thunder storm over the sea and one mini rain storm which cleared up really quickly. However Nirwewa Eliya is colder cos of its location. Give Sri Lanka a chance, it worth visiting and revisiting-we're definatley going back again next year.

Sri Lanka is a fab place. I've never been any where like this before, it was a recommendation so I thought I would check it out on the internet and see what it had to offer. The hotel we stayed at was called the Sunil’s paradise hotel, we paid 4000Rupees (£35) a night which we thought was reasonable. You had to pay for extras such as breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks etc but we enjoyed eating out so that wasn't much use to us. The beach was just 2 minutes away, and watching the sunset of an evening was romantic, me and my girlfriend would sit on the beach and relax with a few drinks. There is a few things to do there, and there is some great evening entertainment too, the food is different but its very tasty and the price varied on which bar or restaurant you dined in. It was just a wonderful place to be basically, it’s much better then the average holiday I always seem to go on. It was a great holiday and a lovely resort, something I’ve never discovered in my life before. I'm glad I took a chance and would travel back there again sometime.

We spend 2 fantastic weeks at the Club Hotel Dolphan near Negombo. The Hotel was 3* but the facilities were great and the staff very friendly. The boys on beach will organise trips out for you cheaper and better than your tour rep.
Great place to visit
