Ananthaya Beach

Guests lauded the comfortable, clean rooms with scenic views and helpful staff. They enjoyed the delicious breakfast options and convenient beach access. Some rooms offer flexible temperature control.

We stayed here for three nights and absolutely loved it. The view from your balcony and the pool area is to die for, it’s really something. The staff and owner are really friendly and can’t do enough for you, they just want you to have a nice time. They are great! Our room was perfectly fine, nothing fancy, just a big high ceilinged room, that was very clean and all we needed, it slept two adults and two young kids - admittedly the youngest had to sleep in with us. As they only provide a king size bed and one single. Not sure if you can request an extra bed but for three nights we more than comfortable. The pool and loungers are really nice. The kids loved the pool and seeing the wildlife too. The sunrise here is spectacular but the way. The food was ok - breakfast was included and there’s a varied choice and dinner is from a menu and it’s ok, very cheap, but quite small portions. A family of four can eat for £25/£30 We choose to eat out a couple of times and that’s nothing more than a short Tuk Tuk ride away. I also highly recommend the local bird sanctuary - what a day out that was. We didn’t venture out too far on the beaches as the dogs (lots) scared our kids, they seemed perfectly harmless but the barking frightened our little ones. They seemed quite territorial. The owner of hotel assured us they don’t bite, but sadly our kids and us to be honest felt a bit intimidated by them. We would 100% stay here again and I think 3 nights is about right if you are foodies like us. Thanks for their wonderful hospitality and we hope to return one day.

We stayed for 2 nights and we regret that we didn't stay any longer. We travelled for 3 weeks through sri lanka and this was for sure the best hotel. We went for a luxury hotel during our stay in Sri lanka but ananthaya Beach hotel definitly beat it. We went for the massages and my boyfriend said, it was the best he ever had. From food to the staff, the location etc, we had nothing to complain. They even serve cappucino, something that is really rare in sri lankan hotels^^ In the morning its possible to walk on a "desert" beach. The location is "far" from the center but you definitly don't need to quit the hotel. They have everything you need. Thank you!!!
