We just returned from a memorable two week trip in Sri Lanka, and would highly recommend Off 2 Sri Lanka for service that is friendly, professional and organised. We worked on our itinerary with Mr. Menaka who also recommended hotels within our budget. While we were on our trip, Mr. Menaka called to check in on us and wish us a great trip.
Our driver Tissa picked us up from Mirissa and we proceeded to visit Tangalla-Hatton-Kandy-Pollonaruwa-Sigiriya-Dambulla and Negombo. Tissa was a gentleman, extremely friendly, thoughtful and knowledgable. He gave us some great tips for local and authentic restaurants, and suggested some great stops to try local curd, quality cashews and tea.
Our trip was seamless- we saw more than what we had planned and had such a wonderful experience overall. Would highly recommend Off 2 Sri Lanka and our driver Tissa, and hope we'll make it back to Sri Lanka again!

This gymnasium is without a doubt equipped with latest, high end machines. However, after joining you realise that some of them don’t have all the features that were promised when you signed up. For example, the internet connection on the treadmills are pretty poor and most of the channels are not accessible. But the place is clean and well maintained.
If you are joining, insist on getting you individualised program as soon as you pay. I went there for over three months, and it was one excuse after another and the program was never given. Instructors have their usual clientele, and prefer to concentrate on them even though it’s not a personal training session. Unfortunately, you don’t get the help that was initially promised.
Honestly for me the experience was bad and there was no value for money. I stopped going after the first few months and joined another gym. The pool that was promised at the time of joining has not come up even a year later. So if you are looking to join, just be vary of the picture that is created when joining…….

Reviewed By Chathini - Colombo, Sri Lanka
Location - convenient and they have parking.
Service - I got done gel color soak off and a cut and polish. And it was terrible. That person filed the top of my nail (she said she can't remove the gel color without filing the top coat first). This is the first time I have done that as every time OPI people just remove gel color easily using foil.
She damaged one of my nail bed, So I asked to stop it. She couldn't communicate well she is an indonesian I think. And they charged 2500/- or 2000/- LKR for the soak off and for the cut and polish. ridiculous.
In OPI they use all the OPI products and its excellent service. May be they are good for massages, but not for nails. They have lot to learn and they got that potential. And of course they have a manager with a very bad mouth.

It is really hard to believe that ancient monuments similar to that of Anuradhapura or Polonnaruwa, situated in highly sophisticated areas of capital. Sri Jayawardanapura Kotte once was a kingdom known as Kotte. The kingdom's rare relics still stand gloriously in Kotte.
This particular landmark is really a hidden gem, even locals are unaware about its existence. Google map is helpful but not exactly. It is located 4km from Pitakotte juction. You can take a tuk tuk from there. Actually it is somewhat larger structure than I initially thought. It is almost entirezly built by laterite. There is a high rectangular elevated platform with its two flights of steps. On the platform there are two stupas. A foundation of a building also among the remnants that may be remainings of a image house.
Entrance is free. Very relaxing environment. Have a nice time there

Reviewed By NarenG - Los Angeles, California
The equipment is well maintained as are the karts. Do bring your own shoes though as the rental ones are quite sweaty and smelly (unavoidable in a country like Sri Lanka). It is value for money as initially the price can seem a bit steep for 15 minutes but Karting is a lot more tiring than it looks. It can get very hot in the afternoon so avoid that time if possible. Highly recommended for a bit of adrenaline.
