The room was nice and big but didn't get why they opted for see-through glass walls (some blinds covering it!) for bathroom?

Our Stay Was Okay, The Location Is Really Beautiful Directly Facing The Beach And The Lagoon View Was Fantastic!. We Could Not Enjoy A Sea Bath Since The Sea Was Rough And It Was Off Season, Breakfast Was Great!, Nothing Much To Complain!.

“Sorry ma’am we don’t have any foreign liquor” when I asked for a Jonnie Walker (which was clearly listed on the drinks menu) - was our first sign, and everything went down hill from there! The resort was a ghost town - few guests, pool bar not open, fancy restaurant not open, main restaurant looked like an empty cafeteria, 2 food choices for dinner, limited breakfast choices, power dropped out around 20 times. Resort is isolated. Room was tired, mattress was old & lumpy, sheets were matted, door locks problematic, house keeping slow. And the clincher - i slipped on the slippery tiles ( build up of slim & mould) in the shower - lucky not to crack my head. At that point we decided we wanted to leave - no matter what the cost. Luckily our tour company able to move us to Negombo for our other two night. One star for the soothing sounds of the waves crashing against the shore. Tip- if your tour company places you here - ask to be moved to Negombo.

We had a wonderful stay at Anantaya Resort and Spa in Chilaw. Overall, it’s a very good hotel, made truly special by its super friendly and helpful staff. A big shout-out to Viray, who went above and beyond by arranging our trip to Colombo—his service was exceptional. Also, a special thanks to the taxi driver (unfortunately, we forgot his name), who was not only very friendly but also engaging and informative throughout our journey. We stayed on a half-board basis, and meals were mostly buffet-style. However, due to fewer guests during our visit, we occasionally had à la carte service, which was a nice touch. The food quality was good and offered a diverse selection of tastes. The pool area is nice, but it could use some maintenance. Our room was spacious, featuring a separate living area and bedroom (with a divider), and a large bathroom with both a shower and a big bathtub. While the room layout and size suggest that this was once a luxury property, it’s clear that some renovation is needed to restore its former glory and maintain its upscale status. Lastly, the location is a bit remote—about 8km from Chilaw town—so you’ll need transportation to get around. That said, we didn’t mind the distance and actually found it quite peaceful. In summary, Anantaya Resort and Spa offers a relaxing and enjoyable experience, made memorable by its amazing staff and generous hospitality. With a bit of refurbishment, it could truly shine again as a top luxury destination.

Stayed here at the end of a tour to wind down and relax. This place is amazing, away from the hustle and bustle set on a peninsula by the waters edge. have never had such a large room with sea views and very large swimming pools. Everything was positive, housekeeping, food and interaction with staff was great and they smile when talking to you making for a more pleasant stay. House keeping coming back in the evening checking everything ok was a nice touch. Viraj the activities manager went out of his way taking me to the village next to the resort to see the fish market and I enjoyed the games of pool with him and other staff. All in all a great place to stay.

Excellent place to relax with the family. Super buffet spread, home away from home.. comfort to the maximum. Two pools and the beach front.. excellent bar and menu. 10 minutes to the town if required. Staff are super friendly and attentive.

The resort and spa is exceptional. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms comfortable and clean, the swimming pools are the best. We used Athula transport with driver Dinesh, totally professional and reasonably prices. Dinesh is a truely a careful, safe, courteous and knowledgeable driver. Our stay and travels could not have been better. Thank you to everyone.

From the moment we arrived we found the service poor. Staff appeared disinterested. Our room was grubby and tired , the safety deposit box was not secured to anything and could be easily carried out of the room, sockets did not work. Our meal in the evening was poor. Slow service and waited an age to order - had to ask ! Waited over 50 minutes for food to arrive - if we hadn’t asked where it was then we may still be sat there! Food was so undercooked , seemed to have just been flashed under a grill - half ingredients were missing and it was inedible . My husband went to hotel toilets which were dirty . We are both expecting an upset stomach in the morning! We spoke to duty manager to no avail- just a shrug of the shoulders and production of the bill, a sad start to our holiday 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Anantaya resort is a very comfortable place with very friendly people and great view. Special thanks to Jeremy the manager of Kappa Tour. Jeremy is a great person, he help us anytime and he fixed in a professional way any issues faced during the tour. He is very reliable and professional person, highly recommended.
