+Lovely Oceanside property. Great staff. We stayed in a loft room which gave a little extra space. Nice balcony overlooking the pool and ocean. This hotel is situated on a coral reef so there is really no sandy beach and not suitable for swimming. However it is a short walk to the main Passekudah beach.

+This is a stunning resort, with excellent service and beautiful surroundings. It's a shame that the tourist industry in Sri Lanka is suffering but everyone is very welcoming and we were grateful for the peace and quiet at anilana. The beach bungalow we stayed in was exceptionally clean, spacious and comfortable. We had an amazing view of the ocean from our bed! Bottled water, replacement tea and coffee and room cleaning was offered twice a day. The WiFi is good throughout the resort. All of the staff were really friendly, professional and helpful, but particularly the waiting staff, who really took pride in their work. Thank you for making our stay memorable and for arranging a surprise romantic dinner for us! We enjoyed all the food we had at anilana. Breakfast was excellent and we would recommend the barracuda fish and the biryani from the main menu in particular. The beach immediately outside the hotel is quite small and rocky, and the stretch to the right on the hotel is not kept clean, with quite a lot of plastic wash up, but both the beach past this (kallkudah) and to the left (passikudah) are awesome. Highly recommended for a short or long stay
“Hotel was good but hotels.com”
+Hotel was good. I booked the hotel through hotels.com, I booked the hotel for 4 people / 2 rooms / BB basis. When i visited the hotel the reception said you have only booked the 2 rooms for 2 people so u have to pay another 60 doller suppliment because i have 4 guests to check in. Unfortunately I had to pay another additional 60 USD, because if i cancelled the booking with hotels.com, hotels.com will reduct the full payment from my credit card. On that time i had the chance to book two rooms for 4 people with BB basis for just 27000 RS with taxes. Unfortunately i didnt want to cancel the booking so I will get charged by your side. So anyway i am not happy with your service your system should be more user friendly. But i booked the 2 rooms for 4 people. But reception said it has only booked for 2 people, so i had to pay 38100.00 with all the additional costs. And please check the attached documemt you msg says no need double check your booking is placed correctly and enjoy your stay.

“Un des plus beaux établissements de la baie”
+Hôtel magnifique, reposant, cadre idyllique. Piscine spectaculaire où nous avons passé beaucoup de temps et autour de laquelle il est tellement agréable de se détendre. Personnel très pro, agréable. Cuisine du restaurant excellente.
+Nice hotel close to the beach. There is no access to the water because of the coral
“Perfektes Hotel für Ruhe und Erholung”
+Der Empfang im Hotel war sehr herzlich. Das Chalet mit Meerblick richtig großzügig und sehr schön eingerichtet. Das Hotel ist mehr auf Klasse statt Masse ausgerichtet. Gäste werden dort nicht abgefertigt, sondern tatsächlich betreut. Da die ersten Tage außerhalb der Saison waren gab es zum Frühstück und Abendessen a la carte. Das war ganz ok. Die Auswahl an den Tagen danach in Form eines Buffets jedoch um einiges besser. Dennoch war das Essen auch hier nur ok. Man konnte sich kostenfrei Fahrräder leihen, zu jeder Zeit war jemand ansprechbar. Der Service war hervorragend und sehr freundlich. Dennoch gibt es auch einige Kritikpunkte: Eine Tour über das Hotel buchen sollte man vermeiden, da dies später nur zu Diskussionen führt über den vereinbarten Preis. Man wollte am Ende (wenn es für europäische Verhältnisse auch nicht viel ist ) plötzlich 15 Euro mehr haben. Der Preis hatte sich vorher schon drei mal verändert. Dann ist die Klimaanlage im Chalet so angebracht, dass sie die ganze Nacht einem ins Gesicht pustet. Kein schönes Gefühl, da ist schlafen ohne tatsächlich noch angenehmer.

“Do not stay here if you want a beach”
+Hotel OK. Food not good. The beach is narrow and dirty. Not like the pictures at all. Read the reviews carefully before choosing this. There is nothing to do nearby. Ok for a one night stop on a journey up the coast, but not for a weeks holiday.

“No stress beach stay”
+Stayed with two teenagers- excellent wifi, lovely pool, really great mocktails, air conditioning works, and expansive breakfast buffet. They were super happy. That means the whole family had a relaxing beach holiday!
