What a gem
This is truly a lovely hotel, with a great pool and beach front. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and grounds are very well maintained. Entrance feels grand and welcome us very warm. Great kids club. Would definitely return if I had the opportunity. Only minus I experienced was the upselling (day trips, spa treatments) during breakfast. While this may work well with some of the clientele, I found this quite annoying.

Fantastic location! Spacious territory with numerous and various wildlife. Two restaurants of fine dining that will meet expectations of even a picky gourmand. Very friendly and truly impeccable service (special words of gratitude to our personal host Bhanuka P.!) What could be improved. Our beachside villa had a great interior and was really shouting of luxury and comfort. But when you open a minibar fridge (of a pretty big size!) then you see a dull landscape made a few lonely bottles of drinks. That view makes a dramatic contrast with the rest of villa’s filling. Also, while beach is great the sea seems to be heavy all year around with huge waves rushing to the shore.

Like most other Anantara properties, the one in Tangalle boasts of luxury, amenities and a perfect location. We were there 2 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Absolutely pampered at every step, starting at the check-in, orientation, dining, poolside and even the kids play area. Absolutely loved how the resort is surrounded by nature, not just in terms of greenery and the beach but also in terms of creatures. Will never forget the adorable peacock that came to our room every morning for a snack or all the other creatures that we got to see around. Was also impressed by the tree planting initiative they took on Environment Day. Special thanks to Suresh & Ugara from F&B service and Kevin from Guest Relations for thier efficient and friendly service, especially Suresh who went out of his way to make sure we had everything we wanted. The only room for improvement is the buffet menu at Journeys was quite disappointing in terms of variety in local cuisine. Especially on Sunday night, it seemed like some of the the Saturday night's menu was repeated and some dishes were just filled with onions and garlic. Also felt the personal host service was of no use. Menus shared on whatsapp by him were available in the room and he was a not very responsive on call or messages. Other than that, every single thing was perfect and I really hope we get to come back there again.

Massive resort but soulless
On the plus side : upgraded to a villa with plunge pool. Massive amount of space. Tastefully decorated. Huge bed. Shower was great - lots of hot water and pressure. Massive resort that needs transport to get around, very efficient with the transport service. Staff very polite. Fabulous views from the Italian restaurant - would recommend it for sundowners. On the negative side: massive resort that has no soul. No privacy within the villa at all- anyone can see in at any stage to almost all parts (with the exception of the toilet) of the villa while passing - requires blinds to be drawn which detracts from the experience. Not a great deal on offer for Sri Lankan food, got told that the Sri Lankan themed night was the night before. At the poolside they had one choice which was not vegetarian but discussion resulted in yes veg was possible. Took a seat made our order for vegetarian curry to be told no there was only beef curry available . Got that sorted. Dinner at the Japanese restaurant as it had a selection of Sri Lankan dishes (!!) - worst Kotthu in 3 weeks of travelling - waaay too salty. Could not eat it . Did not get charged for it . Did have a discussion with chef who tasted and agreed. Also in organizing onward transport - a ridiculous price Quoted for hotel transport. Did get an outside tuktuk eventually sorted at more reasonable money.

I can’t praise the man who cleaned our room, 536 enough. He left the room spotless and couldn’t do enough to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time at Anantara. All the staff were excellent but he stood out. He’s worth his weight in gold.

Magnificent property on a beautiful beach. Lovely oversized pool dropping a waterfall into a lower smaller pool. Ocean view rooms spacious & well appointed; many nice thoughtful touches with slippers, sandals, hi end glassware, large bathroom with soaking tub & window into living area. The four restaurants are all fantastic & we preferred the Asian building with mesmerizing architecture; two buildings on the beach shaped like se urchins! Very futuristic & the good offerings were all delicious. I look forward to our return for the holidays.

Paradise in Sri Lanka
If you are looking for a beach resort in Sri Lanka, there is only one destination, the Anantara Peace Haven in Tangalle. When I booked this hotel I was impressed by the reviews and the photo's, but I did not expect it to be this good. In the 4 days I spent here I fell in love with the country and can't wait to come back. Everything about this hotel was perfect. From the architecture, to the rooms, to the perfectly manicured landscape, to the food. The resort is stunningly beautiful. The only thing more beautiful than the resort was the hearts of the resort staff. They went out of their way to do everything we wanted or needed, and always with a smile. If you're looking for an affordable equivalent to the Seychelles, this is your destination.
