Travel to Sri Lanka: Client feedback

Wednesday, April 4th, 2018

Hi Dileshni,

As we wind down our trip I want to thank you for all of your help and to let you know that we had an amazing experience, in large part due to the expertise and guidance which Anil provided for us.

This was our first trip to Asia so there were SO many new things—culturally, religiously, historically and ecologically which represented novel exposures for us. While the trip was a bit hectic, especially in the beginning, Anil found ways to break up the days so they were not overwhelming while over the course of the trip, he fit in all the items on the itinerary. He also was extremely knowledgeable about birds and we counted at least 135 species that we saw together in this short time which was not focused solely on birdwatching. Anil provided other very unique and sometimes, personal opportunities for us to learn about the people of Sri Lanka.

Without a “ native” who understands the people so well would we have had these experiences. He also opened himself up to us in a very personal way which allowed for quite an intense connection and understanding of each other in a mere couple of weeks.

His flexibility in helping us to pick and choose how best to spend our time complemented but his substantial expertise was really appreciated. We will have incredibly fond lasting memories of this trip.

I would like to complete the overall evaluation but I’m not sure I can find it.

Would you be able email me a scanned copy. We will be repacking and I’ll look again through our stuff.

Best,

Karen and Peter Wood

Dileshni:

First, thank you for your assistance in making all of the arrangements.

It did make for a memorable holiday.

However, the high point, had to be Tyrone, the guide.

He was nothing short of great, and should be commended.

Regards,

Jon Selby

Everything about the tour was well organized from the accommodation, the transportation and the tour guide.

Dileshni,

I am writing to thank you so much for arranging such an AMAZING holiday for us in your truly stunning country. We had a fantastic time, it really was a trip of a lifetime.

I would like to specifically thank and mention Gayashan, from the very first time meeting him he was professional, courteous, friendly and a pleasure to spend so much time with. The car was always immaculate, he always had water available for us, he had a thorough knowledge of the culture, wildlife and cuisine of the country. We felt safe with him at all times despite the perilous road conditions. In a tour like we did the guide is the difference between having a good or a bad overall experience as we really did spend an awful lot of time with him. When we have done previous tours in other countries we have found that the guide has been too inquisitive into our personal affairs or alternatively does not listen to what we want or spends too much time bringing us to outlets/shops to make commission.

The itinerary that you came up with while busy was perfect for us and we were able to do and see a lot in such a short time. Saying that there is so much to do and see in Sri Lanka we will have to come back again.

The hotels you recommended were also excellent, really stunning, everyone of them we hated leaving. The only hotel that I have specific comments on is Saman Villas, these are just comments and not criticisms.

The positives of the hotel are

-Excellent staff and service

-Stunning location

– Amazing food – probably the best we had in Sri Lanka

-Excellent massage in the Spa

-Gorgeous pool area

The negatives are as follows

-Compared to other hotels we stayed in I felt the rooms were dated, I would be interested to see how much this hotel cost versus for example 98 acres or some of the other hotels as it is very expensive on Trip Advisor

-There was no tea and coffee facilities in the room, you were allowed order it once a day free of charge. This is unacceptable really in any hotel but particularly one where the villas are separate from the main hotel. We woke on our last morning at 6am and it was raining very heavily and it seemed crazy to have to call someone to deliver coffee.

– Our villa was at the beach end of the resort and there was a security guard outside almost 24 hours a day to protect the resort from people coming in from the public beach, the problem was the guard did not stay in his security hut but instead walked up and down outside our villa which I found a bit unsettling and effected our privacy.

As I say these all are just observations, we still had a really lovely time in the hotel.

Thank you again for everything.

Ruth & Shane

Hello Shashini

I hope you are doing well! We have returned home and have settled into our life.
Our trip was quite amazing and I have attached a letter as promised.

So sorry it is late.
I was hoping you can also put in a good word for Lasantha and Sushantha as I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide and driver. Thank you for organizing them.

Hello Emadhrie,

We wanted to send you a quick email thanking you for putting together such a wonderful itinerary for our Sri Lanka trip. We had an excellent time and the itinerary you put together for us with the hotels, locations, and activities were all perfect. 

We completed a hand-written review of our trip and gave it to our driver, Mr Sanath. We apologise for misplacing the official feedback form, but we wanted to make sure you still received our feedback as we know how important it is.

To ensure our feedback reaches you, I have copy and pasted what we wrote and it is as follows:

“Thank you to Mr Sanath, our guide, for making our trip so wonderful. Mr Sanath is a very knowledgeable, warm guide who shared with us his vast knowledge of Sri Lanka. He was very informative and we appreciated him accompanying us on our many activities.

He is a very good driver – we felt very safe at all times and the vehicle was kept very clean. It as a very comfortable ride. He also made sure we always had water.

Thankyou Mr Sanath for your suggestions on activities and the stops we made along the way, such as to buy king coconuts, or a visit to a spice garden.

We highly recommend Mr Sanath as a guide!!

All our Jetwing Hotels exceeded our expectations, They were beautiful, clean, and very comfortable.

The service in each Jetwing Hotel was the best in Sri Lanka.

We especially enjoyed Jetwing Lake in Dambulla- what a stunning hotel! The staff are excellent, we cannot fault them at all. We appreciated the extra effort to make us feel comfortable such as providing us with a bowl of fruit and a farewell gift.

Jetwing Yala was also very special and again the staff were very attentive and always smiling.

We have really enjoyed our trip and thankyou to Emahdrie for organising such a wonderful itinerary for us.

Thank you Mr Sanath we hope to see you again one day!

Please let us know if you would like any more specific feedback as we are very happy to provide further detail.

I do really want to emphasise the wonderful experience we had at Jetwing Lake in Dambulla-  this hotel is flawless and the staff are exceptional. We were so pleased we had 2 nights in that lovely hotel and please make a special note of the excellent service we received there.

Thank you again Emadhrie and we hope to visit Sri Lanka again one day!

Feedback for Chauffeur – Kelum Shantha

Dear Mr Cooray & Ms Cooray,

We have recently (Monday 8th January) returned from an 18 day vacation arranged with yourselves (Jetwing Tailor Made) booked via the UK Travel Agency Cox & Kings.
Firstly, we have to express my admiration for your beautiful country, we were truly impressed and our visit has left a lasting impression on our lives.

Secondly, we were extremely satisfied with the holiday itself. Everything was arranged to the highest standards and with the exception of the Hikka Tranz hotel, all of our accomodation was of the highest standard too – so thank you to the team. Our excursions and itinerary were executed perfectly and this enabled us all to truly immerse ourselves into the wonders of Sri Lanka.

Lastly, but most importantly, our chauffeur, Kelum (Shantha), was the one thing that truly made our holiday as special as it was. From the moment we arrived to the moment we parted ways, we cannot fault anything. He was one of the most dedicated, professional and personable people we have ever met. It is this that ensured that everything happened perfectly and ensured we had the holiday we have always dreamt of. Kelum is a true ambassador to Jetwing and to the country of Sri Lanka.

We cannot stop praising him, he will always remain in our memory as the person that made a holiday itinerary come to life and become something special. He has incredible knowledge of the country, local knowledge and was always putting us first and ensuring we had the optimal experience. We feel like we met as strangers and parted as friends!

Please pass on our thanks to Kelum and we hope that future Jetwing customers have as great an experience as we had – Thank You!

Kind Regards
Paul, Theresa, Anna & Bella Hardwick
