This was our first visit to Sri Lanka. Fight business class Sri Lankan Airways brilliant Hotel Centara Ceysands Resort People very accommodating and hospitable they couldn't do enough for you. Food very good in the buffet restaurant and the staff were fantastic especially Sachinda & Nipan absolutely lovely people so attentive and concerned that all was ok excellent 5 star service. Hotel very clean, room sea view oshada and kalinga made sure our room was perfect throughout the whole stay . pool quite large and the beach was amazing. We went on tours for the first week with an amazing man called Kuma and his driver an air conditioned vehicle spotless inside and only just me and my husband. Kuma stayed with us throughout the whole tours which we done, elephants, safari, feeding turtles, moonstone mine, bathing elephants, stick fisherman. we saw so much and Kuma knew everyone, he was such a kind helpful and friendly man spoke really good English. He was based just on the beach outside the hotel. We cant recommend him enough. Definately would go back.
