“Fabulous holiday May 2015”
Had a wonderful overnight visit to Yala, with Raji, via the elephant rehabilitation centre at Udawalawe. Raji's expert knowledge of the wildlife, with the aid of a local safari jeep driver, enabled us to see leopards, sloth bear and a python, along with elephants, water buffalo, jackals, wild boar, mongooses and peacocks. The park is very beautiful, and on the..

“First visit to Sri Lanka, great holiday and look out for Raji and Siri on the beach!”
We booked two trips, one with our tour rep and one with beach boys Raji and Siri. There was no real difference in the quality of the trips, but the beach boys were cheaper - and they do make a big effort to make your trip extra special. We went to Yala with Siri, and the trip was full of..

“Arrived a visitor and left a friend”
We also arranged our trips visiting places such as Kandy, Sigiriya, Dambulla, Galle etc through local beach Boy Raji who we found to be honest and trustworthy, offering value for money. So all in all a great Hotel with even better staff in a good location Highly Recommended

“Excellent Hotel”
dont bother to book any trips through the reps but see SIRI or RAJI on the beach who will take you anywhere you want to go at a much cheaper rate, most of the hotel used them and they're well informed and very reliable. can't wait to return

“Wonderful Experience”
The hotel grounds lead onto the beach. It was whilst on the beach that I met Raji de Silva who is one of many local people offering trips around the island. Don't be put off by being approached by the locals who are just trying to make a living. We took a trip with Raji and what a wonderful experience it turned out to be. He took us from the hotel all the way down the south west coast to Galle and then a little beyond in order that we could see the famous stilted fishermen of Sri Lanka. He could not have packed more into our trip which included a boat trip on the river, a visit to the turtle sanctuary, a visit to the gem mines, beach visit to see turtles freely swimming in the sea, the town of Galle itself and the visit to the fishermen.

“Third time at Mermaid”
We did some trips again this time. I always use two of the beach boys - RAJI and/or CHALA. Both are friendly, reliable and knowledgeable. Their trips are competitively and reasonably priced and they both provide comfortable air conditioned transport. I am returning for the fourth time in march 2016, for another dose of chill out!!

“3 star plus but 5 star service!”
We booked two separate overnight tours with "beachboys" Amith and Raji. They were absolutely brilliant, tailored the trips to our requirements and I would like to say that we found them to be 100% honest and trustworthy. If we are lucky to return we will have no hesitation in using them again. Had a couple of dresses made by the...

“Great relaxing holiday”
We booked the trips through the beach tour operators, Raji, Amith and Tilan. We cannot praise them enough, totally reliable, punctual and worked very hard to help us get the most out of our trips, ie. advising us where to stand at the elephant orphanage to get the best photo shoots, where to sit at the wonderful dancing display in...
