"Takeaway breakfast was an option, but it was absolutely dreadful and practically inedible; we barely touched it. I'd strongly suggest skipping breakfast when booking; the room would be cheaper, and it's better to just grab something to eat yourself. The shower was also a letdown. It was a fixed overhead shower, making it impossible to wash without soaking your hair, and the water got progressively colder as I showered."

"Service was great. Staff were helpful and friendly. As it was low season, staff were attentive. Starry night at the beach which was peaceful and beautiful. Closes at 6pm but we still ventured out for the stars. Pool is long and nice if you want to swim laps.
The dining menu has good variety and food was good. What we did not like was the additional taxes on top of the VAT and service tax. Balloons the total bill on top of the already more expensive menu compared to other 5stars hotel we visited. So need to add another 33% on top of the more expensive prices on the menu."

Amazing
GGuest UserIt is worthy of being a well-known wild luxury resort hotel, and it is an indispensable experience in Sri Lanka!
Hotel room: I stayed in a tent villa with a swimming pool. There is a small tent for children 50 meters away from the wooden boardwalk. All kinds of drinks and snacks are available. There is sufficient hot water supply, and a beach bag is also provided!
Hotel experience: The hotel is in Yala Park. As you can imagine, there is nothing around, and all activities are carried out in the hotel. Adjacent to the Indian Ocean, the activities are very rich, including Sundowner, High Tea, massage, Safari, etc. It is highly recommended to stay for 2 nights to fully enjoy the different aspects of the hotel.
All meals are included: breakfast, lunch and dinner are eaten in the hotel restaurant. Each meal has a different flavor. It is highly recommended to try the Sri Lankan-style curry rice and the hotel’s cocktails. There is no thunder! ! ! They are all delicious! ! !
Butler service: The hotel will send emails to guests in advance, but Ctrip is an agent, so the email address is hidden. It is recommended that guests call the hotel front desk directly. When checking in, the corresponding butler will be matched to take us to visit the entire hotel facilities, including taking pictures, introducing culture, etc. It is recommended to make an appointment in advance for massage, which ends at 19:30 in the evening. After all, it is not safe to move around in the forest at night. The masseuses are two professional Balinese ladies.
FFENGSHENGAll the details are a little sorry for this price. 1. Individual staff do not know how to adapt, and their attitude is also very poor. Later, I found the manager to settle the matter. The result of the solution is relatively satisfactory, indicating that the hotel management staff's thinking is still ok, but the first impression is already bad and it is difficult to recover. 2. For a hotel at this price, there was no one at the front desk early in the morning, and there was no one after waiting for a long time. A lot of time was wasted. 3. Although it is an experience of nature, there are many insects in the room, which can make you sleep unsteadily. 4. The room lighting is too dim and too dim to be brightened. 5. The hotel has a total of more than 10 rooms, the area is not big, but the activity area is not big, there is no special feature, it is really not worth the price. 6. The only remarkable thing is the restaurant, every dish is delicious. The restaurant staff is also very professional and very nice and serious.
GGuest UserThe feeling of vacation is full when you enter the hotel. The room is OK but there are a lot of bugs. There are 3 restaurants in the hotel, Italian, Asian and buffet. There are some tourist restaurants around the hotel, which are not recommended. It takes about half an hour to drive to any restaurant that is worth your attention. When you check out, you should take a good look at the bill. There are several extra items such as turtle protection fees for no reason.
JJiajiatangbaoNo wonder the president cut the ribbon at the hotel's opening. It's probably the most luxurious and modern resort in Sri Lanka right now. Perhaps because I booked a pool villa, the room experience was indeed excellent. It's highly modernized. Even the outdoor breakfast area wasn't too hot. The staff are very attentive; in the evening, they proactively offered a blanket if they saw someone putting on clothes indoors.
Going to the beach is only allowed twice a day, and you must be accompanied by staff because wildlife passes through the national park. But it's definitely worth a visit; the scenery of the sand dunes and the sea of sky is absolutely stunning and magnificent.
CChaojimaliAmanwella Great experience! There are 30 suites, chatting with the housekeeper. In the past, Europeans, Americans and Indians came the most. This year, Chinese people came a lot. November to April is their peak tourist season, and when the house prices are at their highest, prices can go up. The service is nothing to say. The beach is not suitable for swimming in October. We recommend the safari park and lagoon projects. You can see many birds and animals. The Bhutanese manager is very nice. If you have any needs, tell him and he will arrange it directly. The disadvantage is that it is a bit far from the airport, a 3-3.5 hour drive. Unlike Aman in other countries, airport pick-up and drop-off require additional fees.
GGuest UserSet a quadruple room, in fact, can live 6 or 7 people no problem 😄 The hotel is located on the edge of the lake. Since we are going to Yarra National Park to see wildlife the next morning, the store packed breakfast for us very early.
童童It is suitable for children with breakfast. The extra bed location is super good next to Anantara, but the beach opposite the palm is good, Anantara also comes to the small beach to play, and at 8 o'clock in the evening, go to rekawa to see the turtle eggs. A tutu 1800 local currency, there is a tutu waiting at the entrance of the hotel, it is safe! There are dogs, and three dogs block the door at night, a bit horrible! I don't know the parking lot, I don't think Sri Lanka needs to charter a car.
