3 week honeymoon in sri lanka - August

Hi all

We have booked our flights to sri lanka for our honeymoon this August.

We have 3 weeks and are looking to start off with a few days R%26amp;R on the beach followed by a tour around to see some of the cultural sights and wildlife before ending our holiday on the beach for that final bit of relaxation.

The problem - it all looks lovely and we can%26#39;t decide where to stay and for how long. (Some of the resorts seem to cater more for the 2 week package holiday.) We had thought of booking a tour for the middle section of our trip in advance. Would this be advisable or are we better to book hotels independently and hire a driver?

Any ideas gratefully received.

with thanks

Hi there,

It should not matter much in price. It is helpful to get the quote on a full tour (10 days) covering at least Cultural Triangle, Kandy area, Hill country and a safari packed in between somewhere. Then for the hotels the operator proposes, look for the independent prices (e.g. asiarooms.com) and doublecheck the driver/transport price using a distance calculator and the target rate of Rs 35-40 per km. If the operator is not too expensive, better use him as it saves you the hassle of all separate hotel bookings, different types of vouchers etc. etc...

All the best,

Not sure what your budget is but if you want a beautiful beach to head to Mirissa is by far the nicest and you don%26#39;t gt hassled by beach sellers. there%26#39;s everything there from cheap guest houses to places like Paradise beach which is mid range and Mirissa Palace which is higher again. Walk in no problem, or check out the few that are available through the internet on http://www.go-lanka.com
