Booked a safari in YALA NP through them and no email, SMS or hotel confirmation was made for the safari. After sending a SMS to cancel my booking and making other arrangements they suddenly said it was all arranged. It was not, but this was to avoid making any refund. They did not refund anything despite numerous emails and phonecalls. BEWARE THEY HAVE A POLICY OF NO REFUNDS INSIDE 19 DAYS OF THE PLANNED DATE. No changes are permitted. THIS APPLIES TO HOTELS TOO despite the hotel having a 1 day cancellation period. For SAFARI's and HOTELS always book direct with the hotel and they will arrange for the activity.

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!

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.

The booking is pretty easy through their website. Its a little pricy but then all these sort of tours are. They do pick up from some nearby hotels, otherwise their point is the Kinsbury Hotel. The tour guide was nothing great but gave enough information. I especially liked it because they do slow down at the various important buildings and this is a great way to get a good glimpse of the city.

Peaceful location for a walk in the evening, just by yourself or with your family, or even with your friends. Great place for jogging as well. Clean and attractive, and that’s why photographers love this place to shoot their weddings. Security at its best, as Sri Lanka forces always close by. You are not allowed to bring your pets to this attraction, I think it’s a good decision taken by the management. To keep the place clean, management not allowed to open any food outlets. If you bring your own food, pay attention to bring home all the garbage left with you.

This is a Makeup Academy that teaches you different courses in a short period of time and they complete all aspects of wearing make up and different techniques of applying make up. On the first day itself they give a comprehensive explanation as to product knowledge so that the student gets in depth knowledge on how to select products when they go on to buy their own especially in regard to match their own skin tone. Secondly, the class was very informative and the make up artist teaching us took us to buy the make up products that were used in class, and thus we were able to use the same products we would actually be using at home!
all in all it was a good course and i would recommend it to anyone!
