Aleksandr (3/5): Всё отремонтировать и помыть , осушить болото на территории . - Понравилась кухня в ресторанах . Очень грязный номер со старой мебелью, в отеле - пляжа нет, огромные волны, лежаков нет, пляж городской не оборудованный , территория отеля не ухоженная , когда то отель был не плохой , но это было давно , цена очень завышена и не соответствует предоставленным услугам ! Прямо по территории отеля проходит дорога ,по которой движется постоянно ревущий транспорт тук туки , на против ресторана где проходить завтрак огромное болото пахнет соответственно. Номер по своей категории нам пришлось требовать , персонал не предоставляет номер сразу , который вы оплатили , а хочет подсунуть номер ниже по категории ! заезд был испорчен, ждали 3 часа , заселение ! Каждый день проходит машина и с грохотом обрабатывает ХИМИЕЙ насекомых дышать невозможно !!! С детьми в этом отели вообще делать нечего !! Взрослым тоже нужно двигаться мимо ! Отель не соответствует оценке пять звезд - двоечка с натяжкой !
Hafez (10/5): It is exceptional holiday with Unforguettable Memories - Location of Anantra is Exceptional. I felt I’m on my own islet. Ocean & sunset view are Amazing. Also all staff are warm & welcoming guests to let them feel they’re in their home. Also breakfast & dinner are amazing

Michael (5/5): - Breakfast was ok. The location is pretty bad, you would hear noises from the mosque all the time. Also the nasty smell is coming from the river nearby, and no proper access to the sea
Dung (10/5): -
Taisiia (1/5): - Никогда больше не поеду. Очень сильное отравление в отеле, весь отпуск пролежала в кровати и еле выжила

Joanna (10/5): Luxurious relaxing stay, outstanding staff - Stayed at the Anantara for 3 days of relaxation! Wonderful welcome when we arrived. The staff are really attentive and want to ensure your stay is perfect. Breakfast is amazing, great variety. We ate at both the à la carte restaurants and the food was delicious. Happy hour at the bar was a great bonus! Great service from the bar staff, Niplum and rest of the guys. The gardens are immaculate and you can see the pride the gardeners take in their work. Lashan and Sabradu in front of house were really helpful. The spa was wonderful. The pool was fabulous and the pool guys and lifeguards ensure you have a relaxing time. Bed was really comfortable and room clean and spacious. Beautifully built complex. Highly recommend Nothing

Nikolay (10/5): - My stay was made truly smooth and enjoyable thanks to Chathuka’s outstanding support. He was extremely professional, well-informed, and always willing to help, ensuring everything was handled effortlessly from start to finish. His attention to detail and genuine care made a real difference to my overall experience. The food throughout my stay was absolutely delicious, and the restaurant staff were attentive, friendly, and very helpful at all times. I would also like to commend the housekeeping team for their excellent service—they were efficient, kind, and always ensured the room was perfectly maintained. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and Chathuka, along with the entire team, truly reflects a high standard of hospitality. I wish him and the team continued success.
Charith (7/5): - Very clean and staff was extremely pleasant. The local cuisine was spot on but the Continental food wasn't great. There were also delays when food was ordered from the À la carte menu.

seemaji (2/5): TERRIBLE - We are staying presently at Antara with our family of 5 Im appalled at the lack of services received. Last nighr thr Ac was not working in both rooms, sti noone fixed it The house keeping took 1 hour for a pillow and fnb took 1 hr for ice I complained to reception and asked for the manager to call me!! Noone did. We met The GM at dinner hoping he would extend some cooperation but nothing was offered Its our anniversary today and instead of giving us a comp meal they had the audacity to call and ask us to book a paid meal with them at their poolside I heard so much about Antara as a brand and chose it over Marriott wellingama. Biggest mistake of my life!!
_X9314MZ (8/5): Good hotel - Hotel is good, bat service not fast, lacks management. Room is very good and spacious. Thank you Ganganath for good service and hospitality!!!🙏 Our room 311 was always well cleaned.👍 Food is not hot (cold). 👎
sagrikat2025 (8/5): Restaurant Experience - Great service from Rasindu and Shamilan. They were friendly, patient, and professional the whole time. They paid attention to details and made sure everything was taken care of without us having to ask. The overall experience was smooth and enjoyable because of them. They’re definitely a big plus for the restaurant.
marcellaj699 (10/5): Return Customers to the Anantara Resort - Here at Anantara breakfast buffet has a variety of morning specials catering to the western & eastern pallet. Kalpani, Shahini Thilakshi, Ganganath & the team take good care if us. Keeping an eye on our needs.
ireshav2025 (10/5): Excellent lunch! - We went for lunch and it was delicious!!! Thank you Chef Dilshan and Ganganath for excellent service!! We were well looked after.
Connector813806 (10/5): Friendly staff - We only went for a lunch at the hotel and had shamilan as our waiter, he was wonderful at his work and the service and food was excellent.
shaship2020 (10/5): Phenomenal - Superb resort. Experienced super warm Sri Lankan hospitality by Tharaka in the Ula Restaurant while having drinks and dinner.
392shanthiv (10/5): I’ll be back! - My second stay at Anantara Kalutara Resort was just as amazing as the first. From arrival to departure, the hospitality was exceptional, with every staff member being warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The service truly takes luxury hospitality to the next level. Its convenient location, close to Colombo, makes it an ideal and effortless getaway. The breakfast buffet complete with flower shaped hoppers and wide variety of dishes leaves one spoilt for choice. A special thank you to Kaveeshwara Ganganath and many other staff who were incredibly kind, helpful and friendly. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
malithac (10/5): Wedding and honeymoon stay - It was a perfect wedding day and a honeymoon stay. Hospitality from Kaveeshwara and others at breakfast was beyond expepectations.
Noella (10/5): Excellent stay and staff made it even more perfect especially Uneska who went all out to make my wife's birthday eve - Rooms and the staff hospitality
Sa19ndra84 (8/5): Warm Welcome, Outstanding Service, and Pure Relaxation - We had a wonderful stay at the Anantara Kalutara Resort. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with a traditional dance, which made us feel truly special. The service throughout our stay was extremely attentive, always helpful, and very hospitable. We stayed for a total of three nights, and I must say the resort is beautifully calm, peaceful, and perfect for relaxation. On Christmas Eve, we were looked after by Gianganath, who provided outstanding service. It was also lovely that Santa Claus visited with gifts for the children, which made the evening even more magical. The food was excellent, and the dessert buffet was absolutely amazing 😍. Everyone was very friendly and attentive, and so far our experience has been extremely positive. We have truly enjoyed everything we have experienced here.
Omar (8/5): Nice place to disconnect - Its nice a quiet place to just disconnect and relax Nothing much to do in the evening, so if u just want to relax and do nothing for a couple of days its fine other than that nothing much.
Wanderer688585 (10/5): Good service - Good server by K ganganath very polite and quick service , good atmosphere and value for money . Do visit this hotel in the month of December and stay at the deluxe room
kumudinie2020 (10/5): Yet Another Memorable and Relaxing Stay - This being my 12th stay at Anantara Kalutara Resort, it was wonderful to return for yet another peaceful holiday. The team went out of their way to ensure a truly memorable stay — especially Lashan, Ishara, and Shamal at the Front Office, along with Sanka and Kalpani, whose thoughtful service added a personal touch. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality are what keep me coming back.
413brunoh (10/5): Anantara hôtel - Fabulous location The personnal is kind and helpfull. The Room are fabulous, large and with all equipment needed. The swimming pools are beautifull large and clean The restaurants are impressive. All meals are really good and well coocked.
natashadJ3901ZW (10/5): Anantara stay - Had an amazing stay at Anantara. Staff were very hospitable, accomodating and kind. The food was amazing, with a great variety at the breakfast buffet. We spent time at the pool with a friends toddler, and the life guard was hyper vigilant despite the toddler wearing arm floaties which was very appreciated. There were a few issues during check in, but this was quickly fixed. I would absolutely recommend this luxury stay.
davidhZ1046CA (10/5): Great experience ! - We stayed at this Anantara hotel during our honeymoon in Sri Lanka and it was great! Especially their F&B department, starting from Kalpani and Gianga! They were always very attentive during meals just in case we needed anything, one of the highest valued services we ever received. We have been Anantara’s clients for long now, so if you’re ever in Sri Lanka I would highly recommend Anantara’s Kalutara and Tangalle.
fr_d_ricf738 (10/5): Stay in Paradise - Beautiful place in Paradise. The staff’s been very kind and helpful. Greetings Sasindu, Nilanga, Sumpath, Ravindu, Dumindu ! Thanks to you, we had a very good time 😄
clare441 (10/5): A lovely stay in paradise - A lovely hotel. Lots of space and immaculately clean. The staff are very helpful and really friendly. A quick shout out to: Pumudith at the pool was very friendly and helpful Lihil and Uneska at reception looked after me so well after I slipped over (also Sulakkhana on reception). Ramodya at the restaurant was lovely and kind. Finally, Dinesh on the concierge desk was great. However, all the staff were brilliant and I can't remember all the names :) I would recommend this hotel without hesitation.
Mariam (10/5): My stay at Anantara Kalutara Resort was a truly wonderful and relaxing experience. From the moment I arrived, the hospit -
wasukip (10/5): Ganganath hospitality is amazing. - I have been to many hotels in Sri Lanka, but I have never found a hotel as good as Anantara . Ganganath service was helpful, he recommended delicious food for us.
Wanderer18366498534 (10/5): Great - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel its facilities are excellent. The personal were attentive and very efficient. We would like to return.
477nilushan (10/5): Great service and friendly staff. - To the Management and Staff of Ananthara, I had a very pleasant stay at your hotel. The service was outstanding, and every staff member I met was polite and helpful. The environment was peaceful, and I felt very well taken care of. Thank you for making my stay memorable. Special thanks to Ms.Sajana and Mr.Sanka for their kindness and professimalism. I truly appropriate your warm hospitality. Best Regards, Nilusha
stuartfrazier (10/5): The most friendly staff - Great experience. The staff and hotel were lovely. Our trip cut short due to personal circumstances bur we’ll definitely be back.
christopheroO1496CX (10/5): Great stay at resort - Pumudith took great care of us during our poolside stay. Resort is outstanding and clean. Staff are all exceptional. Thank you
273arpinea (10/5): Our experience with Anantara Kalutara - We stayed at this hotel in November 2025. The room was spacious and clean, with daily housekeeping. We especially liked the staff — always smiling and ready to help. I want to mention their names: Kavindu, Ravindu, Nilanga, Dulaksha Dulmina, Samdath, Sulakkhana, dilan Dilshan, Kalpani and Sanka from Sri Lanka Breakfast was varied, with fresh fruits, cheeses, and hot dishes. Dinner was rich and varied too. Overall the experience was excellent. No noise in the evenings. As to location, it was far from the city, so the place was calm and tranquill. I recommend it for a family vacation!
238debh (10/5): Lovely hotel in Sri Lanka - Lovely hotel and amazing staff, food very nice and varied. Although we experience some bad weather last week nothing affected our trip and its business as usual for the hotel. The storm has passed and the weather is very pleasant.
JulieMillar50 (8/5): Very nice and such a beautiful location - The Anantara Resort was a beautiful hotel set beside the Lagoon and Sea. The service of the staff was amazing with special mention to Sampath, Sasindu & Ishah. Would recommend the restaurants which are on site for example the Spice Restaurant was fabulous. The Pools are very well maintained and the Staff were so good helping. The only downside which isn't the Resort's fault but worth mentioning that the Sea view and Beach is not fit for purpose as the Sea is so rough and the sand is very hard to walk on but that was our level of expectation.
Hasindu (10/5): -
Paradise697295 (10/5): Outstanding - Outstanding property.. lovely resort.. a must stay. All facilities are great. Nice restaurants and lovely Spa. Will recommend this to all.
Seaside61797667983 (6/5): Pleasant - The service of the team in the dining room was excellent .Shamilan’s service was impeccable On the day we were departing he prepared a cut fruit take away for us .We were all very touched .Kalpni’s service was good too .Chef Singh’s curries were delicious. The welcome and blessing ceremonies were awesome .All three of us were moved to tears by the blessing ceremony .
genaralk2025 (10/5): Ganganath service is superb. - Ganganath welcomed us well when we arrived for breakfast. He was very kind and friendly. He understood that I was feeling unwell and recommended me some chamomile tea. Thank you very much Ananthara for your hospitality.
Vadim (9/5): Хорошо и уютно - Очень приятное место! Чувствуешь себя как дома. Отличный ассортимент в ресторане. По заказу могут приготовить любое блюдо для ребенка (2 года). Особенно хочется отметить мастера на все руки, сотрудника по имени Chathuka - приятный, вежливый, всегда решал текущие вопросы и был на связи даже вне рабочего времени. Такие работники вызывают желание вернуться снова в этот отель! Пляж оставлял желать лучшего - возможно, это было связано с погодой
Dieter K. (10/5): Uneingeschränkt Empfehlenswert - Service und Gastronomie Nichts zu bemängeln
devitn2025 (2/5): ‎ ‎Beautiful hotel, reception and pool boy are ruining this hotel - This hotel is very good for a vacation. The food is delicious. The hotel staff is kind. The villagers are kind. But the food at the Red Lobster restaurant is not tasty. They gave me spoiled food. They scolded me. They took more money from my wallet. Why do the employees of this hotel promote that red lobster restaurant? You pool boy and reception ‎ ‎Beautiful hotel, reception and pool boy are ruining this hotel.
527mickw (10/5): Enjoyable experience - I would just like to thank Sam path, sasindy and Ishan for making our visits to pool and enjoyable experience with excellent service and friendly attitude
424sad_g (10/5): Kind staff, exceptional service and a must visit in Sri Lanka! - Ganganath was exceptional! So kind and attentive to every detail. Upon my arrival he treated me by first name and proceeded to be very prompt in giving me recommendations, that didn’t disappoint! Thank you Anatara for such a beautiful stay, your hospitality is priceless ❤️
ejskjl (8/5): Great Hotel Only Negative is it popular with many Russian Tourists. - This hotel had many positives and a few negatives. The staff working there were brilliant, very helpful and proactive. The pool staff, life guards and house keeping, waiters all were really attentive and service was quick. The managers were helpful when we made a mistake on our booking on Expedia and helped us resolve it. The life guards found me a pair of googles to use when I had left mine behind. The house keeper was super friendly he looked after us in room 311. Can’t remember his name. The food was of a good standard. I liked the Italian. The rooms were very good, tasteful decor, a good size and beds are very comfortable and well equipped. I’m not sure it’s worth paying extra for the sea view as the beach is not private and we had one night of party noise. The facilities were very good. Great yoga classes. The gym was well equipped. Just missing 3kg and 5 kg hand weights. The staff there were helpful. The gardens were well kept and beautiful, The pools superb both pools are 55 m long. Cocktails and food were very good. The spa massages were excellent. Although I think a little expensive. The main negatives are the beach is not private and you can’t swim in the sea as the river comes in there and it is rough and dirty looking. There are no facilities on the beach and it is public. It is also very polluted as is the lagoon. I went on the paddle board on the lagoon but it was full of plastic and the water quality was such I wouldn’t have wanted to get the water in my mouth or fall in. The paddle board needs replacing as there was no ankle strap so potentially you will be swimming after your board. I don’t think they understand the climbing wall. You only have one attempted for $25 whereas it should be a time that you have on the wall to try different routes and if you fall off you can go again. Having said that these are very minor points. But these didn’t out weigh the positives. One thing worth mentioning is that this hotel caters for many Russian tourists and it is one of their biggest guest groups. We did not enjoy being amongst Russians given the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the bombing of woman and children in Ukraine by the Russians.
CPB-UK (8/5): So many great positives but one significant negative - This hotel was exceptional in many ways . Service was excellent from all team members, with particular mention of Sandaru and Shamal on the front desk, Kumara the yoga teacher and our housekeeper. I could have mentioned the name of everyone we met as there is clearly a hugely positive service ethos in the resort. Equally, the facilities were of the highest standard and very much in keeping with the five star rating. This extended to the various restaurants where service and food were both of the highest quality. This is a difficult review to write as, in the middle of all this quality, was one issue that we were not aware of until we arrived. As part of the welcome we were told that the hotel had a very high number of Russian clients and they actively sought out this market. This showed us that the hotel had a total lack of any geopolitical awareness, which was exacerbated by the fact that the owner is, apparently, American and the General Manager German. We soon found out that this was the case and it made the whole experience uncomfortable, particularly as we have personally taken in Ukrainians into our home/town. Such a great shame. As a resort, it was welcoming and of a very high standard but we (and other European clients that we met, from our discussions with them) would not countenance staying in a location that is actively courting clients from Russia, as a matter of principle.
MOstafa (10/5): - Best location qnd best view Every thing amazing
312rohand (10/5): Wonderful stay, with great service and food. - Attended a wedding at Anantara Kalutara and then stayed over for two more nights. Very relaxing calm environment gulfed between the Indian ocean and the Kalu ganga/river. Peaceful. Service and friendly staff made it more at home and enjoyable. Weekend buffet was, as one would expect, full. Yet the food was excellent and the various types of cuisine too was wonderful. Nipun, Ishan, Achintha and Kavithra at the bar area were superb, so were the dining/buffet service staff.
804ahmadz (10/5): Shisha lounge - Staff are very friendly and professional, we felt really welcomed especially Mr. Nipun and Mr. Suranda, overall nice hospitality
caitbabe (10/5): Best hotel stay!! - Myself and two friends stayed in September 2025. We have never had a more enjoyable stay! The staff were amazingly attentive and very helpful- no task or ask was too big. They knew exactly what we needed and were so lovely. Particularly would love to thank the staff who helped us: Yeshan, Bhanuka, Kalana, Roshan, Unechka, and all the management team. We would definitely love to return!
nonab525 (10/5): Friendly and efficient service - Can’t speak highly enough of our stay at this very comfortable hotel. The service was excellent throughout, and Shamilan the restaurant supervisor, deserves a special mention. All the staff were so efficient and caring. We hope to come back again soon.
שלומית (10/5): Amazing stay - The staff is out of the ordinary Kind , caring , the chef was out of his way with us he deserved many thanks . Food was great The place is so beautiful .
989allysonh (10/5): Anatara Kalutara Resort - An incredible hotel. The service from All staff has been impeccable. We have been so well looked after. The facilities are first class, everywhere is very beautiful and very well maintained. We had a sea view, stunning, bat watching became a new favourite activity! Great fun. A shout out to Uneska on reception and a huge thank you to Dilshan in housekeeping who was brilliant...and very handsome!!
M2508XMmohamedr (10/5): Nice Experience & Well Friendly Service - We received a very friendly and pleasant service. A special appreciation to Dakshina and Ishara for treating me and my colleagues very well. Hope to see you again soon.
lars soeren dennis (10/5): - From the very first moment we arrived, we knew this place was special. The entire resort is beautifully designed – lush, clean, and full of small details that make you feel instantly at ease. Our room was spotless and lovingly cared for every single day. And then there was the food… Breakfast was simply unforgettable – you could taste the love and passion that went into every dish. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and just delicious. Lunch and dinner were equally amazing (a little insider tip: don’t miss the vegetable tacos – they’re incredible!). But what truly made our stay so exceptional was the people. The service here goes far beyond professionalism – it comes straight from the heart. I travel a lot, both for work and for leisure, but I have never experienced such genuinely warm, joyful, and caring hospitality. We were looked after in a way that made us feel like family. Often, before we even realized what we wanted, it was already there – brought with a smile so sincere that it instantly brightened our day. Every single member of the team deserves praise, but I would like to give special thanks to: GM: Christoph Reception: Ms. Sulakkhama and Ms. Uneska Room Cleaning: Saran Thank you all for creating such a heartfelt and unforgettable experience. We left with full hearts and beautiful memories – and we will most definitely be back. Without a doubt! Nothing
maureendJ6527TJ (10/5): A faultless hotel experience! - A faultless hotel! The rooms (and provisions within the room - coffee machine, wet room, air con, ceiling fan,dressing room, 2 fridges - one holding wine etc) facilities, restaurant, gardens, swimming pools are beautifully maintained. The staff are unfailingly happy, helpful and superb at their jobs. Special mention of Sulakkhana in guest services, and I think Saman (?) who kept my room meticulous and well stocked. Thank you for the 'elephants', flower petals and fruit!
Traveler32410617091 (10/5): Perfect Resort Experience - Anantara Kalutara Resort is a perfect hotel, not only for its location and facilities but also for the attentive hospitality of its staff. Surrounded by the sea and lagoon of Kalutara, it offers a special space exclusively for Anantara guests. The sunset over the sea is also truly beautiful. The hotel, designed by Geoffrey Bawa, is stunning both inside and out, allowing you to spend very elegant moments accompanied by the sea breeze. The pools are divided into family-friendly and adults-only sections, allowing guests to enjoy their time according to their preferences. The restaurant meals are outstanding at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, never becoming monotonous. Above all, the staff's meticulous attentiveness and service provide an experience rarely found at other hotels. In the lobby before departure, I felt a pang of sadness at leaving. I long to return to the hotel and say, “I'm home.”
guyleden (10/5): Had a great stay - Had a great time during our family holiday. Pumudith and the team were great. We had a fantastic time. We will definitely come again.
862dilanig (10/5): A Luxurious Escape at the Presidential Pool Suite - From start to finish, staying in the Presidential Pool Suite at Anantara Kalutara was an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for indulgence, relaxation, and exceptional service in a luxurious setting, this is a choice that delivers.
GPramod (10/5): A resort experience that we will remember for a long time... - One of the finest places that I have ever stayed. The attraction was certainly the Geoffrey Bawa design, but when I arrived I was really floored.The expansive arrival hall with its tall roof, the renowned upper deck, and the material palette reminiscent of his iconic Kandalama Hotel are all present here. This vast reception area, which also houses the restaurants, is a visual delight. Viewed from any angle, it conveys a sense of openness and freedom—the signature Bawa interplay of inside and outside. Everything feels airy and open, yet never bare. The people are amazing, the rooms are so spacious, modern and aesthetic, and impeccably clean. The overall aesthetic of the hotel is to cal you down, taking you to your Zen mode. It could have been less pricey though, not just the room rate, but also food and drinks. Probably that's what the management wants, given its high standards. Anyway, thanks a ton Anantara, no complaints. Will remember this place for a long time.
haaziquvais (10/5): Almost perfect. - We recently stayed at Anantara Kalutara Resort and had a lovely experience overall. The property offers great amenities and our room was spacious, comfortable, and luxurious. The staff were exceptional, extremely friendly and always ready to help. A special thank you to Dilan from housekeeping for keeping our room spotless and Sandaru from the main restaurant for the warm, attentive service throughout our stay. The food was good, though not quite exceptional. One small disappointment was that the ocean villas don’t really have a full ocean view, as it’s mostly blocked by trees. Aside from that, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and would recommend Anantara Kalutara for its comfort, service, and relaxing atmosphere.
emilsA5301BS (10/5): Great 5 star Anantara Kalutara Hotel! - Had a great experience at Ananthara hotel. Booking process was really smooth. They gave us a warm welcome with kadyan dancers. We were offered with complimentary fruit basket for GHA discovery membership. Hotel is carefully designed to get the sea view and lagoon view all around. Famous architect Geoffrey Bava gets credit for this. Mr. Chthuka assisted throughout the hotel stay. Food was exceptional tasty. Buffet was available for the meals. Rooms were spacious. Clean. Staff was readily available to assist. They had a nice garden with herbs, corn, spinach and a lot more. There is a big pond with cute duck and some rabbits surrounding. So kids will have a great time here feeding them. There’s a gaming room to spend time with billiard, chess etc. They have spas and other outdoor activities which can be arranged upon additional payments. Would definitely visit this place again.
U6470LZbrendar (10/5): Relaxing with professional service. - We enjoyed three relaxing days here after a busy trip two week around the island. From the initial welcome ( which is special !) to the service in the restaurants the staff were very professional. We were impressed with the helpfulness of all the staff we met. Nice rooms and good food. Everyone was eager to help. I would give a special mention to Rasindu who looked after us in the main restaurant. He was so attentive and helpful. Can definitely recommend this hotel.
somm455 (10/5): Five stars - Extremely accomodating and hospitable staff. Beautiful property. Made our trip super comfortable. Big Shout out to Shamilan for going an extra mile for us..
annacookac (10/5): Incredible resort - a true gem - I went here for a friends wedding and everything was spectacular - the room, the food, the service, unparalleled. This truly is quality and quantity and when I’m next in Sri Lanka I will be staying here no doubt.
mcmaureen (10/5): Relax in luxury - A beautiful resort with amazing staff! We stayed at the Anantara for 3 nights as part of a business trip with a group of ~ 45 from Germany and Switzerland. The rooms & suites are very spacious and all have a balcony or terrace. The bedding is amazing! A great nights sleep is guaranteed. The chef and his staff must be magicians! The buffets are to die for, delicious and beautiful. The selection of Sri Lankan, Moroccan, Thai and international cuisine leaves no wish unanswered. My husband had the best beef shepherds pie ever. If you love dessert, you have come to the right place. All of the staff are very attentive without being too attentive. We loved our stay and we're sad to go.
marymF3684BI (10/5): Akway Resort Beragala - Paradise - This is a little piece of paradise!! The hotel building is a stunning work of art - clear glass windows into spectacular surroundings. Every aspect from bathroom design, pool, dining areas and food have been carefully and tastefully chosen. Beautiful. We were greeted by staff who were willing to meet our every need - polite, professional, gentle people. This is an oasis of beauty and calm which I highly recommend. Many thanks!!
christines674 (10/5): Fabulous - Beautiful hotel, super staff. We were made to feel special from the very start, this holiday was a celebration of our wedding anniversary and a big birthday.
RosemaryandPeter (10/5): An oasis of calm and kuxury - We have recently returned from ten days in this oasis of calm and luxury. Starting with the unique welcome dance and drum accompaniment, the wonderful and attentive staff provided outstanding levels of service, nothing was too much trouble; the facilities were excellent, food and drink were to die for and we enjoyed daily swims in possibly the largest swimming pool we have ever used. We were allocated a top floor ocean view room from which we could see the very rough sea and which had everything we needed. The resort is bisected by a road (St. Sebastian) and you can reach almost any other part using the interconnected elevated walkways – you can easily accumulate several miles on foot during each day. The resort was very quiet, not unusual for this time of year apparently, so we were able to spend time discussing and learning more about Sri Lankan culture with staff. The hotel has a fascinating and productive garden using conventional and hydroponic irrigation, we were given a tour by the gardener who showed us how various spices and plants we use at home are grown. We went on two trips with a good and informative taxi driver, the first to the Madu Ganga watercourse for a boat trip and then to the Bawa Brief Gardens. Both involved being driven on the main road south through Bentota and experiencing Sri Lankan road rules which initially take some getting used to! Some things to be aware of: 1. Situated on the west coast Kalutara is some distance away from other tourist centres and attractions; the average speed of traffic is about 30mph so it could take a long time to reach another destination such as Yala National Park (3hrs). 2. There are many steps throughout the resort, only one with a hand rail at the main pool and as I’m in my mid 70s I’m simply not as flexible as I used to be. 3. We were on the all-inclusive (AI) plan, for which the entitlements (choice of restaurants for lunch and dinner, free spar session, one laundry load) have recently been reduced by the hotel group. This is not reflected in pre-booking information by our and many other travel agents. The General Manager immediately reinstated our original entitlement but the current AI offering clearly isn’t AI and had we known in advance we would have opted for a room and breakfast only plan. In summary if you are thinking of travelling to Sri Lanka for a vacation then Anatara Kalutara is well-worth considering and we were very sorry to leave.
Kathydee97 (10/5): Weekend Getaway Spent Well - We visited Anantara for the first time and the experience from the start to the end was amazing. We were welcomed by a beautiful traditional dance and a welcome drink. The check in was really fast and we were also upgraded to a pool view room which was nice. The staff was really nice and attentive and always with a smile. they provided a good service. We went for A la carte meal options for Lunch and Dinner and the food was decent in size and tasted very good. Only thing is, the prices are in USD and a bit expensive for us Local (we should be provided with menus including local rates) The breakfast buffet spread was good even though the hotel had less occupancy. Finally when it was time to leave, there was a welcome blessing done by the staff which was beautiful :)
gertvanherwegen (10/5): Nothing we can think of to improve this experience! - We stayed at the Anantara Kalutara Resort for 2 days, as a wind-down from our 15 day travel through Sri Lanka. The resort is an attraction all by itself, with beautiful architecture, impeccable service and wonderful food. The resort offers two beautiful swimming pools and has easy access to a spectacular coast line. During our stay, there were not that many guests, so each and every staff member was happy to spend some time with us and chat. The day before we left, I asked what the latest possible check out time was, since we wouldn't be collected from the hotel before 04 p.m. Spontaneously, we were offered most generously that we could simply keep the room until 04. p.m. on our departure date. That's hard to beat for service ! We visited from Belgium and recommend his resort 100%
59mansoora (10/5): Amazing Experience at Kalutara Resort - The overall experience was just wow… from rooms to facilities to restaurants within the resort… shoutout to the full amazing staff for their hospitality and accommodating our requests at short notices… they have made celebrating my wifes birthday an unforgettable experience. Special thanks to the full management team and our friendly Manjula. This place is worth every penny!
sam15072022 (10/5): Remarkable Venue & A Great Hospitality - For my birthday, I went to an la-carte dinner at the hotel's Olu restaurant with my family on September 19th. From the moment the menu was handed to us, we were given the professional assistance we needed to select the dishes by Chef Lanka (the pastry chef), who happened to meet us without our request. We saw that he went beyond the usual chef's nature and was complimented by other guests around us for his unwavering support. In addition, our f&b coordinator, Kavisha, also worked 2 extra hours to help us because it was a pre booked surprise birthday. The most special thing is that the birthday cake we received was extremely delicious among the favorite foods and if we buy cakes in the future, we will definitely choose Anantara Kalutara. All in all, the experience we had was very remarkable and I would like to specially mention that Chef Lanka and Kaveesha provided really good hospitality.
sndrperera56 (10/5): Great - Overall very happy stay. Super ambience, food and very friendly staff. Will definitely recommend this resort
946fathimah (10/5): Best place - During our stay at Anantara Kalutara, one of the highlights was the exceptional service provided by Mr. *Shamilan* in the restaurant. From the very first day, he welcomed us with a warm smile and genuine kindness that made us feel truly cared for. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Shamilan’s attention to detail was remarkable. He remembered our preferences, made thoughtful suggestions from the menu, and ensured every meal was served just right. What made Shamilan stand out even more was his consistent professionalism. He was always polite, patient, and very respectful — especially with elderly guests and children. He never missed a chance to check in on us, asking if we needed anything else or if the food was to our liking. Even during busy hours, he handled everything with calmness and grace. One morning, we mentioned we were celebrating a special occasion, and to our surprise, Shamilan had a small dessert arranged with a lovely message — it truly touched our hearts. It’s rare to find staff who serve not just with efficiency, but with heart. Want thank to tell our manager Mr sanka It’s clear that Mr. Sanka takes great pride in his work and truly values guest satisfaction. Thanks to him, our meals at Anantara weren’t just delicious—they were unforgettable. We are truly grateful for the care and respect shown by Mr. Sanka and highly appreciate his efforts. He is a true ambassador
kpathirana (10/5): Exceptional service and hospitality - It was the most lovely experience I have had in a hotel in Sri Lanka. The service is remarkable and the hospitality is the best. From greeting to farewell you get very special care. We had a very warm welcome from Yuneska who escorted us to our rooms with a detailed description of the amenities. And Shamiln at the restaurant was exceptionally helpful and made sure all our meals requirements are meant. Thanks for the whole Ananthara Kalutara team. We wish to visit again.
sankhawk (10/5): A Weekend to Remember at Anantara Kalutara - My wife and I had a wonderful weekend at Anantara this August. From the moment we arrived, with a welcome of traditional Sri Lankan dance and music, we felt genuinely looked after. Check-in was smooth, and we were given a helpful overview of the facilities, which set a relaxed tone for the stay. The grounds are beautifully kept, with lush planting and quiet corners that make the whole property feel calm and inviting. The pool was spotless and well maintained, and we spent a good amount of time there simply unwinding. There was also a lovely garden with a variety of chili plants and neat beehives, which gave the place a charming, homely feel. What stood out most was the service. Every staff member we met was warm, attentive, and sincerely keen to make our stay special. Nothing felt scripted or forced, just thoughtful hospitality delivered with a smile. That same care extended to the dining experience. The buffet was excellent, with a wide, fresh selection at every meal and consistently high quality. We always left the restaurant feeling satisfied. We did have a small hiccup with the booking and payment, but the team handled it graciously by upgrading our room and offering us an extra lunch on the house as a gesture of goodwill. A tiny wobble ended up being the cherry on top and showed how committed the staff are to making things right. Overall, it was a memorable and restorative stay. If you are visiting Sri Lanka, you should experience Anantara at least once. We would happily return and are grateful to the team for a weekend that felt both special and effortless.
722shehanr (6/5): Luxury hotel, some staff questionable - Overrall superb establishment and friendly staff especially the newbies acheentha, Nuwan,Nishen and Nipun However the elderly shishaperson or barman at the games area was very egotistical and didnt want to our business at all, if they could retrain these elderly staff in hospitality like these newbies, would be solid.
LightPacker787401 (10/5): Great stay for family and friends - We had a great stay with friends and the staff was extremely supportive and accommodating. The property is extremely beautiful and has a lovely vine for family and friends ❤️ Special shout out to Nipun, Missenden, Achintha and Chatuka.
damsarak2025 (10/5): A luxury hotel with both ocean and lagoon view in an eco-friendly setting. - This hotel is special because it offers views of both the ocean and the lagoon in a peaceful, eco-friendly setting. We were warmly welcomed by Mr. Reshan and given the garden-view room we had booked in the Ocean Wing. The hotel maintained true five-star standards, with everything provided—from a TV, Nespresso machine, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, to bathroom slippers, room slippers and a complete bathroom kit etc There are many attractions to enjoy, such as the Geoffrey Bawa museum, the farm, the gardens, and even a view of the neighboring Avani Hotel. A buggy service is also available. Breakfast and lunch buffet were vast. Food was very tasty. Specially try out Focaccia break. Staff was super friendly. Note: The ocean at Avanthara is a bit rough, while the beach at Avani is calmer.
Simmo1905 (10/5): Amazing stay - Wow just wow. Had the most amazing 7 nights in this stunning resort. The architecture of the main building is beautiful with open light but what makes it special is the staff oh and the food offerings. To name but a few and sorry as i am sure have missed off some stars…Malith, Sangha, Yeshan, Bhanuka, Kaiana, Rashan and Chef Alua. Breakfast has a vast range of local and international dishes - must try the egg hopper! Then we had dinners in both the Italian and Asian restaurants. For me the jewel in the crown was Spice Trader (Asian) wonderful menu full flavors. But it is not just the F&B staff, smiles everywhere from reception to housekeeping to the pool guys. If you get the chance…book it you won’t regret it. We will be back!
