Jeananne Says: The seafod at the Sunflower Restaurant on the beach ( just at Daddys Corner) is delicious. Good idea to pop in in the morning and tell them what you want for dinner and they will go and get it fresh and have it ready when you arrive. Lobster- fresh from the ocean and...

HansDK Says: If you need a tour guide/driver for your excursions by van or tuk tuk , I can recommend a guy called Sena.You can meet him at his "offfice" on the beach between Bentota Beach Hotel and Hotel Ceysands, or you can contact him by mail or phone.
dawnandash Says: Get in a Tuk Tuk for all local travel, its cheap, and a great way to see local Sri lanka at its best. Taxis are a little more pricey, but have a/c, but then you cannot smell what you see. We found this, the best way to get about, Stay away from the trains, We were going to...
Helpfulness
What to buy: Derek had a shirt made, by a tailor who lived behind our hotel. He was measured up & it was ready the next day. Very well made & only about £7.00!!
I bought myself 2 beautiful Saris, in Bentota town. When we returned Derek & I had a "Serendipity Party", just so I could wear my Sari ! (~_~)

WStat Says: Ranga-Wine Stores is certainly one of the most modern and well-assorted on Sri lanka's westcoast. Liquors of local origin, some imported brands and a small assortment of wines are waiting for the well-off customer.Unfortunately not all of the shop-employees are meeting those...
HansDK Says: What annoys me, is the "commission boys" in Aluthgama. Their "base" is around the fish market and the railway crossing. They will approach you and offer to show you around. If you don't go shopping, they will expect a fee for the "guided" tour. But if you go shopping with...
