    It was for a superior room, but I noticed that the Kouni price was identical (£2062). I will check Mercury Direct tomorrow, the search engine doesn't seem to be working. Fancied that hotel in Kalutara as Beruwala seems like a busier more touristy area.
    Thanks for your help :beer:

    Have a look at Kuoni - if this is a standard room its coming out at £1982 dep 8 Jul with Sri Lankan Airlines ex Heathrow.

    Alternatively, do you definitely want the Kani Lanka? Mercury Direct are showing The Palms 4* AI Beruwela (as an example) as £769pp
