The fabulous four star The Sands is one of the island's best places to stay

So, what will you do first? There is no shortage of possibilities. Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo is less than twenty five miles away and is a must see on many people's itineraries. While Kalutara itself boasts a rich mix of colonial styles and cultural heritage, including the world's only hollow Buddha shrine.

And, of course, there's plenty to keep you entertained at the The Sands. The fabulous lagoon style pool is hard to resist; it's surrounded by beautiful lawns and beyond that, there's the beachfront itself.

The same attention to immaculate standards can be seen in the design and upkeep of guests' rooms. They're all tastefully furnished, with rich wood, cool stone floors and crisp, clean white décor.

From your room, you'll have a wonderful view out over the sea from your balcony - just the place for a leisurely cup of coffee before the day begins in earnest. You'll also find your room well-stocked with a satellite TV, telephone, hairdryer, radio, room safe, with an optional minibar.

You'll find even more wonderful amenities as you make your way about the hotel and grounds. As well as the lagoon pool, there is a Jacuzzi, steam bath, sauna and the relaxing Diviya Spa.Other activities include beach volleyball and in-door games.

Your stay at the The Sands will ensure you have the most memorable Sri Lankan holiday. Its idyllic location and mix of facilities make it the perfect base for a relaxing and rewarding holiday.

My Husband and I stayed at the Ramada Resort in Kalutara, The Ramada resort was wonderful. You woke up each morning to well kept gardens palm trees and the Indian Ocean. All the Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful and couldn't do enough for you to make our stay welcoming. We were there for 25 days and honestly couldn't find any fault during our stay. The room was spotlessly clean and I would say one of the nicest we have stayed in, as we have travelled all over the world in many hotels. Each evening clean beach towels were brought to our room for the next day, and in the morning the man would get us a sun bed place our towels on it, nothing was too much trouble for him, and when he wasn't too busy he would stop and talk to you about England. We do hope you keep this holiday in your brochure, as we would thoroughly recommend the Ramada Resort. Mary Hanks, Nuneaton	star 1 star 2 star 3 star 4 plus The Sands Kalutara Kalutara from £853
The Sands Kalutara ,Kalutara I would like to commend Tissa, your representative at the Ramada Resort. We had to return to the UK at short notice and Tissa dealt with our issue promptly, courteously, sympathetically and in a professional manner. He managed to arrange flights back to the UK that night. By making this arrangement we made it home in time, we are extremely grateful that we were able to return home. Please pass our utmost thanks and best wishes to Tissa, to whom we are very grateful.

We travelled from the 5th to 28th February having first done the Cultural tour for 8 days followed by 14 nights spent at The Sands Kalutara. Two friends came with us and we all agree that this is one of the best holidays we have ever had. Our flights with Qatar airways were superb and then on arrival in Colombo we were met by Jaya, from Aitken Spence and a great 8 days followed. He was a great guide of gave us a lot of information and went the extra mile for us. He drove in some terrible conditions with flooding due to heavy rains. We had elephants fighting on the road that we needed to travel along, delaying us for half an hour and at times we were slow whilst views some of the attractions but he never complained! Hes was good humoured and so tolerant and we so enjoyed his company. The Sands hotel was of excellent standard. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The rooms were large and comfortable. The laundry service was comprehensive and great value for money and the food was varied and superb. We had no complaints at all except that there were no enough lounges in the gardens for the guests that needed them. It is somewhere that we would consider returning to one day and we would use Mercury Direct again. Whilst at the coast we went to Marissa on a Whale watching trip organised by your company. Our guide was called Jit and he was also a superb guide. He put in a very long day and made it very special for us. There were only four of us throughout the three weeks so we felt very spoiled. It is beautiful island and the hotel were all so well chosen. The Sigiriya Village hotel, The Mahaweli beach hotel and the Tea Heritage hotel were all hotels we that we would have happily have spent more time in. Our memories will last forever. Well done on your superb planning and excellent value for money, your choices of guides and the best flights and hotel. Thank you! We have recommended your company to many of our friends so long may you continue. Sandra & David jones, Coleford	star 1 star 2 star 3 star 4 plus The Sands Kalutara Kalutara from £853
