Trip was a good one, nice nature and beautiful scenery in Sri Lanka. Amazing and courteous guide and driver Mr Hafiz from direct link. hotels lacked honeymoon courtesy. It was like a normal check in, candle light dinner was messed up by the hotel due to miscommunication between their staff..

Hi, this is my sincerest review about our past trip to colombo through DAYA holidays. I would like to give a 10 out of 10 for there fantastic service during our groups visit in Srilanka. The coach was excellent to start the trip from colombo and the incharge was quite fine to hand the group. The resort was awesome and the rooms were nice, and its not right to sum it with a single word. The food arranged in the hotel and our was excellent... and we are really happy to see the group was happy.... thank you to madhu, dinesh, Aruna & Pradeep. Thank you so ...
