A fantastic resort..
A nice clean hotel, the staff service was exceptional.
The position of the hotel was in a secluded island and the buildings were newish.
My main worry was that i wouldn't have an internet at times, but again, i was pleased that it was an always on.
The food was of a very high standard, the two restaurants both served meals for their respective cuisines.
The buffet restaurant did a bit of everything..
Had a ace time, very much having to leave the place.

An average hotel pretending to be a luxury hotel,
I've stayed at several Anantara properties. This by far would be the lowest rated of the lot. Located in a not ideal area. Not a nice beach and the lagoon is not particularly beautiful either.
Service, especially in the main building and main restaurant, is inadequate in relation to the standards of an Anantara resort. The restaurant is like a waiting room in a train station and you constantly feel like a volunteer in a kindergarten. ...... There is no question of relaxed dining in a luxurious ambience here. Photoshop has also done its job here with the official pictures. The quality and selection of the food is mediocre, especially compared to other hotels (we know what we are talking about as we were guests in 6 excellent 5 star hotels during our round trip). On top, food and drinks are totally overpriced (sometimes 3 times the price of better 5 star hotels in the country........Pizza Magaretha 18 US $.... with what justification remains a mystery to me. No value for money!
Maintenance on buildings are needed especially on the pool decks ……never saw a 5 star hotel neither any anatara in this bad shape.
Fish smells from the head my regards to the poor management of the hotel….. totally overpriced hotel with poor facilities.
We are very disappointed with this Anantara Resort because it does not have the usual standard and totally overpriced........ Travel 174 km south to Tangalle and check at Anantara peace heaven !

Good and bad. It’s a beautiful property with beautiful pools. But there’s nothing to do in or around. Food and drink is grossly overpriced, and I speak as someone who had just spent 5 days at the best hotel in Colombo, which was cheap in comparison.
Service which is meant to be friendly becomes intrusive and formulaic. Expect several calls a day to the room. This is what I come on holiday to get away from. For instance, order room service and 5 minutes later a call to see how it is - which means interrupting your meal and answering the phone. In the end I ignored all calls. Unfortunately I could not find a way to silence the room phone, or I would have done. This was exacerbated by the fact that I was added to the WhatsApp of a manager without warning on the day before arrival, and then sent numerous messages trying to upsell services.
There are some security issues. The pool villas cannot be locked. Yes the garden is surrounded by a wall, but it would only take a ladder. I did not like the idea of sleeping in an unlocked room. It would not be an issue but for the fact that a public road bisects the resort by the villas and therefore practically anyone can gain access, as is evidenced by the touts that congregate daily.

We had a very disappointing experience with expedia and the resort. After booking the travel , we realized that there is going to be a rain storm during our stay, so we rushed to cancel half a hour after our booking . Expedia and Anantara failed to return our money. This experience will stop us from booking through expedia let alone stay at Anantara in the future.

Es ist ein sehr schönes Hotel. Die Lage ist jedoch nicht optimal.
Kein schöner Strand und auch die Lagune ist nicht besonders schön.

We had such a wonderful stay and loved everything about the facility, the rooms, and the helpful staff, especially the manager there Mr. Gihal. He made sure we were comfortable and pleased at all times and was extremely hospitable! If you end up staying there make sure to ask for him, because he will make your stay worthwhile

We had a most enjoyable stay at the Anantara. Beautiful and quiet location, outstanding buffets, 2 lovely swimming pools (so big!) and delicious 2 restaurants Asian and Italian with outstanding service. We will be back one day! Can highly recommend. Also stayed with baby, and they were most accommodating an helpful.

Great place to unwind
We stayed here after Galle. It’s quite a new property and provides a perfect way to unwind and relax. The rooms, food, pool and gym are all great. I’d definitely recommended this as a place to unwind and relax. It’s not next to anything so you will need a driver to visit Bentota or anywhere else but if you’re just looking to unwind then I’d book this over the properties at Bentota (we visited for the day and were happy with where we’d chosen)
