The overall experience was satisfying. Breakfast and dinner had a decent spread and to top it up the food was quite tasty. We enjoyed the breezy weather and the endless garden area which gave us ample space gaze around. Friendly staff.

Location, facing both the pool and the Indian Ocean was superb. We had an ongoing problem with the toilet which kept running - it was attended to unsuccessfully twice before being completely replaced on our third and last day which also did away with the intermittent unpleasant smell. There was no fridge until we asked and the one then provided sounded like a steam engine. But we loved the property despite this and the buffet food was excellent.

It’s good if the reservation team be more aware about the guest booking instead of getting panic when the guest checking-in, infact about this reservation I have already informed some officials (Nalika) in advance to prevent such inconvenience which I have noticed haven’t even passed through which I didn’t expect. Other than these unhappy moments the property, its ammenities and the rest service cannot be matches with many Hotel. Superb hotel and the location. They have spent thousands and millions to make this hotel so fantastic and to make the guest happy. Will recommend to others and will visit again.

It’s licated in a calm coastal location and has all the amenities for a spa hotel. Check in staff were excellent and maintained the hospitality Srilanka is well known. Rooms are a bit dated-didn’t have a fridge and the safe was movable. But this was rectified promptly. We were on half board but the first night was a ala Carte menu with minimal options. All in all the staff are excellent and went out of the way to make our stay memorable and pleasurable. Some maintenance and updated is much needed.

Break at the other Anantaya

Pleasant & helpful staff but the condition could have been improved a lot. We always loved Anantaya after spending an amazing time at the Pasikuda venue but was disappointed to witness the status at the Chilaw branch with torn bed sheets on the additional bed and the aged status of the same. The rest of the hotel looked great with a good Gym and recreation facilities. The resting chairs at the pool are a great feature and also the water villas. Not too far from Colombo and an easy route. Thanks

Poor organisation

We booked this hotel though the Expedia app and it clearly showed we booked 2 double beds including breakfast.However when we entered the hotel they said we weren’t illegible of owning a room with 2 double beds then we payed (EXTRA) money for 1 single bed. Yet when we entered the room we realised it wasn’t cleaned properly as we spotted dead flys and stains on floors as this situation is not good enough for my kids ! The toilet paper was not refilled at all as we were left with a quarter only! And we had no soap , shampoo or conditioner as this is very poor organisation . We went to the hotels cafeteria for breakfast and the stuff member at the front showed us to the food and she told to go get our food and showed us to our table yet when we filled our plates and got to our table another member came up to us and he said we have to pay for breakfast but we booked the hotel room including breakfast, we are completely confused and unhappy about this situation, and we are Australians and every 6 months we travel around the world and we stayed in a variety of hotels and this was our first ever experience of having a horrible day ! We are unpleasant about what had happened! (This is no at all a 5 star hotel) by the way good job editing your photos! We won’t recommend this hotel for any one ‘’ Ananthaya chillaw Srilanka “
