Ananya Beach Resort

Wonderful in every way. The location is amazing, the beach and pool are beautiful, the food is good and because they do not have the mandatory buffet like all the other hotels and resort seem to offer, you can actually order what you want and even save money. Like the other reviews mention, this hotel is a real gem - you'll spend a little more than you might for some other hotels in this area, but you will not be disappointed in the rooms, the wonderful staff, the cleanliness, the pool, etc. We'd love to come back and have recommended this place as a must-stay for people traveling around Sri Lanka.

We loved Ananya and would recommend it very highly. The resort is in a wonderful position on a long sandy beach with only a few other resorts in sight. The staff are fantastic- very polite and helpful and friendly. The swimming pool is lovely and it is so relaxing to sit looking at the sea from the beach. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable and the views from the balconies in the front are spectacular especially at night. Breakfasts are delicious - try the hoppers! We came back to Ananya at the end of our trip around Sri Lanka because we enjoyed it so much. Thank you Ananya team!

Nice hotel but one of the more expensive along this beach. Amazing ocean views especially from the top floor rooms. Clean rooms and attentive staff. Breakfast choice a bit limited compared with other places along the beach. Staff always helpful.

Nice hidden gem with a very friendly staff, the road to the destination is bumpy but you will survive. The food and drinks are very good at the location we stayed here for 2nights. Ps you can have geckos in your room. We had two but there is nothing to worry about.

Beautiful hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. Down a very bumpy road you arrive to this tranquil spot. Staff were very helpful and attentive, rooms spacious and clean. Loved the boat trip on the lagoon. We spent Christmas here with grown up family noted lights out 10pm after returning from local restaurant confused night attendant who was reluctant to find us a drink.....it was Christmas all was in darkness.

I loved the place! The hotel was very comfortable! The place was very clean. The view from the room was amazing, the sound of the ocean calming. The staff was friendly, helpful, we felt really good! Brekfasts was very yummy, big portions, options to choose. Other dishes was also very tasty and in good price! I am gonna miss fried banana and buttered milk calamari! One of the best places I have ever stayed in! Very recommended!

Though the property might be a bit away from the heart of Tangalle - and other popular beach resorts - that is the charm of this place. The seclusion brings a lovely charm and romantic vibe, and much more affordable than the overpriced posh digs like the KAYAM house that are located next to it. Though the beach might look and feel a bit less spectacular (and not so clean) compared to the other beaches in the region, it is still stunning and you have it all for yourself most of the time! LOCATION: The cottage-style property is located in Rekawa Bay which is just 20 minutes drive from Tangalle. DINE + DRINK: The restaurant on site(that also serves as a Breakfast spot) whips up some super authentic and delicious dishes. And thanks to the staff we had a private table set up for our group right on the beach and on the sand! ROOM: We stayed in a Room with a Balcony on the 2nd floor, so this review is based on that; SIZE: Spacious enough for 2 adults and simple baggage; VIEW: Spectacular views of the lovely beach from the gorgeous balcony; AIR-CON: Perfectly functioning cooler that helped in setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part of putting us to sleep; BATHROOM: Stand-in shower; TOILETRIES: Good spa-quality toiletries FACILITIES: No Gym on site, but the swimming pool is beautiful and a great place to lounge with a drink! SERVICE: Friendly staff that took care of all our needs with a smile and made us feel pampered and well taken care of. Special Shout-out to the restaurant and front office staff for attending to all our needs with a smile HOW WIRED YOU WILL BE: Free Wi-Fi that works well all over the property, and the speed is good! Small Plasma TV dishing out a wide variety of channels spanning sports, news, music, movies, and entertainment in multiple languages

Ideal for complete mind and body relax. Pretty isolated, mind blowing views from the balcony, decent sized and clean pool, good menus, polite and helpful staff. Buddhika is apsolute star! We had some bugs problems that were solved. Excellent value for money and definitely a place to return to.
