Amazing staff and location. Room had a great beach view... we would love to return if they sorted the all inclusive selections ( see my other comments)

We had an all inclusive package being a family - we also booked one of their top rooms... so what did I detest ? Unlike other hotels you only had what was in the mini bar and once used you had to pay for more items! Water incl ! Also ... the dinner menus for all inclusive were much smaller in options than the other a la carte menus ... and the bar selection was incredibly limited and poor quality. All that which made us feel frustrated and ripped off...

Food Service The grounds Rooms (beds so comfy) Staff: Yashani de alwis was incredible and amazing rep. Looked after us the whole trip. She can make anything happen. Someone you can count and rely on. Irshad in the main catering for breakfast and dinner was so friendly, always checked on us to make sure the food was good and if we needed anything. Very helpful and friendly. Overall staff service here is brilliant alaays welcoming and checking up on you to make sure everything is okay and if you need anything. Room service x2 a day very luxurious service from staff.

On the resort everything is so expensive, some things almost extortiante pricing.. for the rich maybe. We found ourselves having dinner off site sometimes for same quality but so much cheaper! (Actually a lot cheaper!). I know sri lanka recovering from economic crisis so happy to help but even after that some of the price markups on food and things to do was way more than wed even expect in the UK or Dubai! Maybe management review there pricing in order to attract more variety of tourists.

The hotel was excellent in every aspect. The staff provided amazing service, and our designated host, Thisari, was particularly outstanding. She was highly responsive, quick, and attentive, contributing to making our visit more comfortable. Thisari's professionalism added to the overall positive experience. The rooms were clean, offering a stunning view, and the on-site restaurants were delightful. The pools were not only beautiful but also provided a marvelous view. While the beach was lovely, we weren't able to swim in it due to its strong waves. Overall, our experience was great, and I would definitely consider revisiting when I come to Sri Lanka in the future. The combination of excellent service, clean accommodations, breathtaking views, and delightful amenities makes this hotel a top choice for future visits!!

Nothing

Everything. Spacious rooms. Scrumptious Food. Perfect ocean view property. Check in process was smooth. We stayed for 5 nights in Deluxe ocean view room (half board). The spread was too good with everyday different themes. Indian, Sri lankan, seafood, BBQ. In room dining services always made our morning. They served soy and almond milk coffee (heaven for lactose intolerant). Also many Gluten free options available. Room had all the amenities and Mr. Priyantha took good care of us with his best in room dining services. Kids club is the highlight when you are visiting with a 5 year old. Loads of activities available at the resort. We must mention one thing as we are real scared of geckos and lizards but there were hardly any considering the tropical nature. One can see peacocks, rabbits, Monitor Lizards walking free (no harm). A special mention of the staff who took great care of us. Umesh at the front desk, Jeewa serving best coffee and evening snacks at lobby lounge, Wiraj at the poolside bar serving best cocktail and catch of the day (fish) and Mr. Priyantha. Will surely visit again

.beautiful luxery resort. very clean, comfortable and large rooms, amazing pool, wonderful service. breakfast was great- variaty of both local and western food. the chef prepared for our children specially gluten free pancakes and hoppers and was extremly helpful. the beach nearby was rough but even so - beautiful and we enjoyed splitting our time between pool and beach. the hotel has nice (included) activities such as botanic tour, yoga lessons. we enjoyed them as well.

prices in pool bar were extremly high (even though we expect them to be high). and they don't include tax and servics (which make the prices unreasonable). they even charged for water which is ,complementary two steps away at the pool itself. it leaded us not to eat at the hotel at all so both the hotel and customers lose from this.

We got off to a bad start when we were allocated a ‘Premier Ocean View’ without an ocean view, but this was rectified quickly and efficiently, and everything about this holiday was perfect. All the restaurants were high quality, the pools were clean with the water temperature just right, and the rooms well designed and maintained. We also loved the diversity of wildlife that wandered around the grounds. The best thing, however, was the staff. They couldn’t do enough for you, and were all warm and genuine in their interactions with us. Special mention for Edema, Kaush, Suresh (our breakfast waiter who was just amazing), and Vinod, one of the best yoga instructors we have ever had.

The most luxurious hotel in Sri Lanka. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the room was spacious and comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. The hotel had an amazing beach view! We spent hours sitting on the balcony, taking in the beautiful scenery and relaxing to the sound of the waves. It was truly a breathtaking experience and made our trip to Sri Lanka even more memorable. We want to thank the front office staff of Anantara hotel especially Mr. Thisal karunarathne, his attention to detail and willingness to assist with any request we had was truly impressive. We really enjoyed our stay there and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

The resort is really looks like a piece of heaven, a wondeful place to relax, the peaceful atmosphere and the beauty of this place. The room are comfort and big' uts seems that they thing on everything to make your stay comfort, The SPA is amazing, as well as the breakfast. The team do all what they can to make our holiday unforgetable.

The location in which there is nothing to do outside the resort, but the resort is huge, so if you come for a holiday, there is no need to be outside.

Rooms are specious, clean, and comfortable , and the view was fantastic ..staff were very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the complementary activities , specifically the yoga classes , and the instructor and his substitute were fantastic (I wish I could remember their names). Food quality was great. I particularly enjoyed dining at the Italian restaurant. I have had two spa sessions and both were fantastic.

We loved staying at the Anantara on our honeymoon. The staff went over and above expectations to ensure we had an amazing experience, upgrading us to an ocean view pool villa upon hearing we were celebrating our honeymoon. The views and facilities were incredible as was the breakfast. The walk into Tangalle centre isn’t as far as we thought - 20 minute walk or 5 minute tuktuk!

We didn’t love that service and taxes were excluded from the price shown on the menu, would be easier to just show the all in price!
