Interesting ... Just yesterday I started a little research on Sri Lanka as I am going to India in November and have become convinced that India is not the place to hang out for an extra 5 days. Thought Sri Lanka would be an option as it is so close.

I have not gotten very far in my research yet, however, as far as P4P the reports weren't too good. Mainly complaints about cost. I did read that in comparison to a few years ago the bar and night life has improved a lot in Colombo.

On a different note. My brother used to visit Thailand twice per year and now travel to Sri Lanka more often than LOS. He spends most of he time in less populated areas, so no relation to Colombo, but in his words he find the Sri Lanka hospitality every bit as good as the Thai and overall things are cheaper than LOS.

Will be interesting to follow this thread, hope some BM's have some good insight.
