i like everything
acceso a la habitacion es muy comoda ,desayuno bien ,el resort es comodo ,llena de animalitos
The hotel itself is actually very nice, and we had a pleasant stay overall. However, my experience with Booking.com’s price-match policy was extremely disappointing. After we had already checked in and stayed for one night, I discovered on the 5th that the price on Booking.com had dropped by around USD 50 per night for exactly the same type of room. I immediately contacted Booking.com and asked them to honor their advertised price-match policy. Their response was that my original reservation was for the 4th–8th, while the screenshot I provided showed a price for the 5th–8th, and therefore they refused to match it. This reasoning is completely absurd. Of course my screenshot was taken on the 5th — that is precisely when I discovered that the price had dropped! How could I possibly have taken a screenshot on the 4th showing a price that had not yet dropped? Are they expecting customers to travel back in time and provide evidence from a date before the price actually changed? What is even more frustrating is that Booking.com presents itself as offering a price-match guarantee, but when you actually try to use it, they can simply find a technicality and reject your request. The whole experience felt incredibly unreasonable and unfair — like arguing with someone who is determined to find any excuse not to honor what was promised. And there was another clear indication that Booking.com was not offering us the best price. My mother joined us on this trip and booked the same type of room through a Chinese travel platform. Her rate was USD 50 less per night than ours. So my advice is very simple: The hotel itself is good, but DO NOT book it through Booking.com. There are plenty of other platforms available, and in our case, we found a significantly cheaper rate elsewhere for exactly the same room. One more thing to be aware of: the beach is not suitable for swimming, so if you are choosing this hotel specifically for a swimming beach, you may want to take that int
Fantastic
The location, the service, the people, everything was exceptional! Our baby had a lot of fun there
Nothing
Le personnel, Le petit déjeuner (un peu plus de variétés salée serait la bienvenue) La piscine, La vue, La chambre très confortable
L’odeur d’humidité dans la chambre Les plateaux du room service avaient une forte odeur d’épices ou de cuisine et cela n’était pas agréable car l’odeur embaumait la chambre et cela même si ce qui avait été commandé était sans épices (ex : burger, pâtes pesto, plateau fromage).
Service was very good and punctual
Bug infestation very dated hotel
Beach:Good
Breakfast :staff disorganised

We had a wonderful stay at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle. The entire experience was relaxing, and the beautiful surroundings made our visit even more memorable. A special compliment goes to the room service team, especially Ruchira and Sameera, who took such great care of our room. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm, friendly attitude truly made a difference. Our room was always spotless, beautifully arranged, and they ensured we were comfortable throughout our stay. Thank you, Ruchira and Sameera, for your excellent service and for making our stay so pleasant. We truly appreciate your hospitality!
Our stay at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort was truly relaxing and peaceful. From the beautiful surroundings to the calm atmosphere, the resort was the perfect place to unwind and escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. The room was comfortable, beautifully maintained, and provided a wonderful space to relax. A special mention goes to our room attendants, Suresh and Sanjeewa, who were incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional. They took great care of our room and made sure everything was clean, comfortable, and welcoming throughout our stay. Their warm service and attention to detail really made a difference. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and the peaceful environment combined with the excellent hospitality made our stay very memorable. We would happily return and highly recommend Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway.
Had an amazing stay at Anantara Tangalle. Our host Ms. Yashani de Alwis took very good care of us. She was very helpful. We enjoyed the tour around the resort by her. Would definitely revisit for the service provided. Spa service was so relaxing and perfect for stress relief by the therapists Irosha and Lily. Thank you for this wonderful spa service. The pool bar restaurant was great. All the staffs were so friendly and welcoming. Thank you.
This resort is truly the total package. The property itself is gorgeous and beautifully maintained, filled with lush greenery and exceptionally clean rooms and facilities. There is an abundance of activities that give you endless opportunities to experience everything the resort has to offer. However, what truly sets this place apart is the incredible staff. You can be in the most beautiful location in the world, but poor service can completely ruin the experience; here, the friendly staff wrapped everything up with a bow. Shout out to Suresh at breakfast, Thisari our host, Sahini at the Spa and Kaveesha at the pool bar.This resort perfectly combines natural beauty, fantastic activities, and top-tier service to create an all-around great experience!
Great rooms and food. Also really helpful staff.
A wonderful place to be with your family. Serene environment bordering beautiful south coast of Sri Lanka
Thank you so much for all the staff. The italian restaurant and the Asian restaurant were so perfect. And the whole staff was amazing and very helpful. And I invite all the travellers to come and enjoy this property in Tangalle and definitely we will be back again.
This is our second time staying here, one of my favourite hotels in Sri Lanka. The service is fabulous and the dining experiences are great. Beautiful hotel with pool, bar and sea views. This was our first time experiencing the spa and it was incredible, highly recommend!
Extremely friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere. Easy beach access and many complimentary activities available, great for families. Rooms are spacious and meticulously maintained.
Haven indeed... the hotel lived upto what it marketed. Location is brilliant. Sprawling impeccable gardens and cleanliness is maintained in every nook and corner. Food is great... on a full board there was a unique arrangement. Breakfast and dinner were buffet arrangements. Lunch was a la carte at with 2 restaurant options to choose from. We found this an appealing difference to the usual 3 buffet deal... The chefs in charge of Indian food at Journeys needs to be commended... Standout feature is quality of attentiveness of the staff... from how phone calls are answered to how we were treated at the restaurant, pool, in the garden ... simply anywhere... they have nailed the art of customer service... Thank you Anantara Peace Haven... keep the standards high... Truly memorable stay...
The best ever vacation. Amazing private pool villa. Very hospitable staff. The perfect escape. Couldn't have imagined a better experience than the one we had. I will come back here for sure!!! Special thanks to: 1. Mr. Shakthi Yohan 2. Italian Restaurant "Il Mare" staff and chef 3. Mama's Kitchen: the mama, Chef Dilan, Mr. Manju (sorry if I didn't get your name right) 4. Security guard posted in the tower in front of our villa 5. Housekeeping staff 6. Everyone else involved during our stay here!
We had the most wonderful stay at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle, and it was made even more special as we were celebrating our son’s 4th birthday. 🎂❤️ From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make his birthday memorable. A special thank you to Meurn, our Villa Manager, who was absolutely fantastic and put so much thought and care into making his birthday so special. His attention to detail and warm hospitality really stood out. The kids’ club was also fantastic. The children loved spending time there, and the team were so warm, caring and engaging. It was a real highlight for our little ones and gave us some lovely time to relax too. We would also like to thank the wonderful breakfast team and all the staff at the restaurants where we enjoyed our dinners. Everyone was so friendly, attentive and welcoming. A big thank you to Sehrish as well, who kept our villa absolutely spotless throughout our stay. Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle is a truly beautiful resort, but it was the incredible staff and genuine Sri Lankan hospitality that made our stay unforgettable. We would highly recommend it for families and hope to return again! 🌴✨
The closeness of the pool and beach. The grounds are gorgeous and wonder to see all the animals.
Nothing
Brilliant experience rooms were always cleaned well by housekeeper Dulaj using special towel designs. Location was fantastic being near good quality restaurants and all staff were helpful and friendly
Lovely hotel with amazing service. Especially Prashan, Dilruk and Pramod who took care of us. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is down south and would like a getaway.
Dilruk & pramod & susieh kept our room fantastically clean, all were super friendly & their towel art is amazing!
Wir hatten zuerst ein normales Standard Zimmer, nach der ersten Nacht allerdings einen ziemlichen Befall von fliegenden Anreisen, die anscheinend über die Rohre gekommen sind (nichts gefährliches aber trotzdem unangenehm und lästig) Hotel hat angeboten uns ein neues Zimmer zu geben in der Kategorie, haben uns dann für eine Villa kot Pool entschieden und haben es dann quasi als Upgrade etwas günstiger pro Nacht bekommen. Sehr schöne Villa, sauber und groß das einzige es hat sehr streng gerochen. Haben auch hier nochmals mit dem Manager gesprochen woraufhin das Problem gleich behoben wurde-es waren Gecko Abwehr Kugeln die sehr streng gerochen haben. Sehr bemühte Managerin.
Preise für Aktivitäten waren schon sehr hoch. Würde raten es nicht vom Hotel organisieren zu lassen. Fahrt zur Schildkröten Station und Galle Fort 250$ find ich schon extrem viel.
Prachtig resort! Heel mooi aangelegd en hele goede service. Heerlijk ontbijt en juicebar waar je je eigen sapjes kunt laten maken. Grote en mooie kamers.
Het resort is ver van alles en de prijzen van het eten zijn echt té hoog. Zelfs fors hoger dan prijzen in Europese restaurants terwijl het eten van mindere kwaliteit is en de porties karig zijn.
We have just stayed 12 nights as 2 families of 7 , in pure luxury at this beautiful hotel . The location is beautiful on the south coast of Sri Lanka The staff have been amazing , absolutely first class , they go out of your way to make you feel special . I have to mention Kasun - our room host , for his ultimate efficiency in organising our tours ( which were of excellent value ) and our restaurant choices . The restaurants are all excellent and I would rate as first class . The service being excellent and food was consistently amazing . We ate at both Il Mare , Journeys and Le Verela .Both of which had excellent choice , first class service and food was fantastic ! The breakfast was outstanding and they had everything imaginable on offer . Special mention to the Hopper lady whose eggs were fantastic and we were always greeted with such a warm smile each morning . I also need to give a mention the pool guys and beach guys who were there before you knew it with towels . Fabulous 5* experience , I would deffo recommend . Thank you for making our holiday so special .
The rooms were so good. People were so smiling and frindly. Even i got the firstaid services it was amazing. The food was so delicious. The Assistant Guest Relations Manager Thisari was always smiling and so good at her service.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything was nice, professional, and well organized. The villa was very clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. A thank you to Suresh, our villa attendant, for his excellent service and kindness. We had a fun and relaxing experience.
It was very wonderful experience staying in Anantara peace Heaven, Tangalle. Everything is great the food the people and assistant guest relations manager Thisari is really so sweet and she gave a wonderful surprise for our anniversary and the staff near the desk also so nice . We r very happy spending our wedding anniversary here.
The stay was wonderful. Extremely polite staff on the management side as well as in the restaurant. Beautiful beach side and rooms. The property has cycles for us to travel around with which was fun. Only short coming were the portion sizes in the restaurant atleast for the vegetarian options.
The employee Tesari is very helpful and helpful. She was like a friend and guide. She added a lot of flexibility and love to our stay. Thank you from the heart.
One of the best hotels we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Anantara Tangalle has mastered the art of luxury hospitality. The property is absolutely stunning—beautifully designed, immaculately maintained, and every detail has been thoughtfully considered. You can tell that the team takes immense pride in creating an exceptional guest experience. The food throughout our stay was excellent, but Il Mare was a particular highlight. The Italian cuisine was outstanding, with fresh ingredients, authentic flavours, and a setting that made every meal feel special. It was easily one of our favourite dining experiences during our trip. A special thank you to Yashani, who looked after us so warmly throughout our stay. She was professional, attentive, genuinely caring, and always one step ahead in making sure everything was perfect. Her kindness and dedication truly elevated our experience. Meuru the GM was also a pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you’re looking for a luxury escape in Sri Lanka, I can’t recommend Anantara Tangalle highly enough. It strikes the perfect balance between elegance, relaxation, and world-class service. We left with wonderful memories and are already looking forward to returning.
The best holidays ever. Thank you for Dhana and his team😊
Excellent property well maintained. Vitreous and kind staff who went above and beyond their duty. Our host Yashani De Alwis was amazing and did a great job of making our stay memorable. The restaurant staff were very good and always went the extra mile.
Nice teams and hospitality with views Also the foods are amazing Staying in room feeling calm and peaceful
Location, resort maintenace, spa, and room were great. Staying in an ocean view villa with private pool definitely made the stay at the resort awesome in comparison to a normal room. Food was pretty good with a large choice of options for breakfast. The buffet restaurant for dinner was fine, not great, but both the Italian and Asian à la carte restaurants were excellent. Our villa butler wasn’t the most proactive and was difficult to get hold of when we needed assistance. The room attendant and pool guy provided exceptional service and did a great job.
We stayed 11 nights in Anantara Tangalle resort. This was one of our best vacations ever. We enjoyed our room with fantastic ocean view , thanks to the kind attitude of Villa Manager Meuranjana Tennakoon.He helped us to buy some clothes when we arrived, because our luggage has delayed. The whole concept of the resort is with amazing nature and animals variety. Very good restaurants, especially Il Mare Delicious food and extreme service. A lot of activities like Spa, Yoga with fantastic yoga trainer Vanco we highly recommend to attend morning yoga classes. Our very nice room attendant name Dulaj who was surprising us every day . Also Kasun and Janindu from reception. Congratulation for GM Frederick Van den Borre for this professional team , great service and attitude.
Amazing and helpful staff. Beautiful location and so peaceful. Food amazing too. Highly recommend

Property is very well maintained. Rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. Very peaceful location with nice views. Hotel offer lots of fun activities. Friendly service. A Special mention should be made on our villa attendant Suresh Sanjeewa. He provided an excellent service. Food can be improved.
Third time in Sri Lanka, first time at Anantara peace haven. Our girls both under 8 loved it. The kids club attendees were so good with kids and our daughters normally hesitant warmed up to them quickly. If you go with young kids the highlight kids activity was the pizza making with one of their chefs. Beautiful property and I cannot stress enough that the staff are so friendly and go out of their way to make your stay memorable especially if you have young kids. Can’t wait to visit again
Our stay at Anantara Peace Haven was exceptional from start to finish. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best family-friendly resorts we’ve visited. The resort is incredibly kid-friendly, with fun hourly activities that kept our children entertained throughout the day. Every member of the team genuinely cared about making sure our family was comfortable and having a great time. We only stayed for two days, but it simply wasn’t enough. Next time we’ll definitely be back for at least five days to fully enjoy everything the resort has to offer. A special thank you to Manager Meuru, who was the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. He made us feel genuinely welcome and ensured everything ran seamlessly. The food across the restaurants was outstanding. A special mention also goes to Rizvi, the Restaurant Manager, who consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well looked after. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality made every meal a pleasure. Thank you to the entire team at Anantara Peace Haven for creating such wonderful memories for our family. We can’t wait to return!
- freundliches, zuvorkommendes Personal - tolle, ruhige Lage am Strand - frisches, feines Essen - gute Stimmung im Restaurant, gediegen

Our stay at Anantara Tangalle was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality and attention to detail made us feel truly welcomed. Staff was very friendly and they do not hesitate to make us feel like home. Meuru was kept in touch with us the moment i made the reservation and is very professional. The resort itself is stunning, with breathtaking ocean views, beautifully designed villas, and a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxation. The villa was in excellent condition, with everything perfectly in order and maintained to the highest standards. It truly added to the comfort and luxury of our stay.Rasith was always kept in touch and made sure everything is perfect. Every time I called him for something (even after his working hours that I didn’t know that time) he was more than willing to help at his best capacity. As villa attendant Sanjeewa, Suresh & Tharan was doing their job perfectly. The service was outstanding. every staff member went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. When we had a drink at pool side bar, Pasindu make sure to educate us about the landscapes, what are the things that we can do, where are the beautiful photo locations and etc. And his cocktails are the best. At the restaurant Geeth, Nilushi, Dinushika & Priyantha was incredibly helpful, attentive, and made every dining experience even more enjoyable. Even the people worked at Werala restaurant was very friendly. The food was equally impressive, offering a wide variety of delicious options with top-quality presentation. What truly made our stay memorable was the perfect balance of luxury and tranquility. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable getaway in Sri Lanka. We can’t wait to visit again!
Our drive from Negombo to Tangalle was long, but the scenic coastal roads made the journey enjoyable. The moment we arrived at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle, we knew it was going to be a special experience. We received one of the warmest welcomes we’ve ever experienced, complete with refreshing fresh coconut water as a welcome drink. The check-in process was seamless and hassle-free. A special thanks to Rasith De Silva, our butler, who was incredibly attentive, friendly, and always ready to help throughout our stay. Our villa was absolutely stunning. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking views. The bathroom was enormous and luxurious, making the entire stay feel truly indulgent. Every detail reflected the high standards of the resort. There was no shortage of things to do within the property. We loved exploring the resort on bicycles, relaxing at the spa, taking part in the orchid planting experience, and enjoying peaceful nature walks. There were also plenty of family-friendly activities that kept our son entertained Mama’s Traditional kitchen was outstanding experience for my son making it an excellent destination for families as well as couples. Dining at Journeys Restaurant was another highlight. Both breakfast and dinner were exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious dishes prepared to perfection. A heartfelt thank you to Chef Kasun for the amazing food and for making every meal memorable. We also appreciate the outstanding hospitality from Restaurant Manager Priyantha and server Kirshan, whose warmth and professionalism made every dining experience even more enjoyable. What truly sets Anantara apart is the genuine hospitality of every staff member. Everyone greeted us with a smile and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. The property itself is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, making it the perfect place to relax and reconnect. Leaving was honestly the hardest part—we simply never wanted to leave. This was one of the best resort experiences we’ve ever had, and we cannot wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for luxury, exceptional service,great value for money ,outstanding food, and a peaceful escape in Sri Lanka.
We had a wonderful stay at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle. The beautiful location, peaceful surroundings, excellent hospitality and amazing facilities made our holiday truly special. A special thank you to PRO ESCAPES for arranging this wonderful hotel booking. Everything was well organized and their excellent service made our trip more enjoyable and memorable. We would also like to appreciate the hotel staff for their warm welcome and great service. A special thanks to dilushan for the kind assistance and attention throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable experience in Sri Lanka.
I honestly don’t know how to rate this hotel because I have very mixed feelings. Let me start with the positives. The surroundings are beautiful, with stunning, well-maintained gardens, and our villa (No. 609) was absolutely gorgeous with an amazing view. I also cannot complain about the housekeeping team. They cleaned our villa twice a day, surprised us with small spa samples and gifts, and every day they created beautiful towel decorations. We had a small issue with the swimming pool because the water was dirty, but it was not a problem at all—they changed the water immediately. I would also like to thank our Villa Host, who was always very kind, professional, and did his best to fulfill all of our requests throughout our stay. Now, let’s talk about the biggest negatives. In my opinion, this hotel does not live up to the Anantara brand, nor does it meet the standards of a true five-star luxury resort. The biggest disappointment was the food. Breakfast was served as a buffet, but as a European, I struggled to find anything to eat. The selection was extremely poor and almost identical every single day. There was no smoked salmon and none of the high-quality breakfast options you would normally expect from an Anantara property. Breakfast was by far the biggest disappointment of our stay. Dinner was à la carte, and I cannot complain about the taste—the food was good. However, there was only one menu for the entire week, so I ended up eating exactly the same dishes for seven days. If you enjoy food and like variety, be prepared for very limited options. What surprised me even more was that my partner wanted to order shrimp, but he was told he couldn’t. The hotel manager even came to our table and explained that he was only allowed to choose one dish. This was very disappointing. When you stay at a luxury resort by the ocean, you naturally expect seafood to be one of its highlights, not something that is restricted. Another major issue was the buggy service. The resort only has two buggies and two tuk-tuks available for guests. We visited during the low season, yet we still had to wait a long time almost every time we requested transportation. I honestly can’t imagine what the situation is like during the high season. Everything takes far too long, whether it’s waiting for a buggy or simply waiting for service. The restaurant staff were always kind, polite and smiling. However, it was obvious that they had not been properly trained, and I don’t blame them for that—I blame the hotel management. Food was often served without cutlery, and we had to wait another 10–15 minutes before someone brought it. Empty glasses were rarely noticed or refilled, empty plates stayed on the table even though staff walked past them several times, and almost everything had to be requested repeatedly. The management should be embarrassed that the staff have not been trained to provide the level of service expected from a luxury brand like Anantara. The worst part of our stay, however, was the security staff. There are many stray dogs on the beach, and I was deeply shocked by the way the security guards treated them whenever they entered the hotel gardens. I personally witnessed security guards shouting at the dogs, chasing them away and hitting them. As someone who truly loves animals and even spent time feeding these dogs during my stay, this was absolutely heartbreaking to watch. For me, there is absolutely no excuse for treating defenseless animals this way. This behavior is unacceptable and should never be tolerated by any hotel, especially one that calls itself a luxury resort. The management should be ashamed for allowing this to happen and should ensure that all staff treat animals with compassion and humanity. Because of what I personally witnessed, I cannot recommend this hotel. This was, without question, the most upsetting and disappointing part of my entire stay. It is a real shame because this property has so much potential. The beautiful location, stunning villas, our excellent Villa Host and the outstanding housekeeping team deserve praise. Unfortunately, the food, buggy service, restaurant service and the behavior of the security staff fall far below the standards that the Anantara brand should represent. I have stayed in many luxury five-star hotels around the world, so I believe I have a good basis for comparison. That is exactly why I expected much more from Anantara. Sadly, this stay left me feeling more disappointed than impressed.

Our stay at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort was nothing short of exceptional. We visited as a large family group of 20 people, and yet every single moment of our stay felt warm, personal, smooth, and truly memorable. The resort itself is stunning, the food and drinks were excellent, the service was prompt and thoughtful, and the entire team made us feel completely at home. A very special mention must go to Thisari, who was absolutely wonderful throughout our stay. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with the most genuine smile, warmth, and positive energy. She went out of her way to accommodate us in every possible manner, including arranging late breakfasts for us after our early morning surfing sessions. What truly touched us was the kindness and patience she showed during our anniversary celebration. My wife needed help draping and styling her saree, and Thisari personally came down and spent nearly 30 minutes helping her with so much care, patience, and affection. It was such a thoughtful gesture that meant a lot to us. She also arranged a beautiful surprise anniversary cake and lovely room decorations that made our special day unforgettable. Her kindness, smile, and hospitality are something we will always remember with deep gratitude. Another heartfelt appreciation to Lakmal at the restaurant. Managing a large family group with adults, kids, different requests, changing plans, and playful moods is never easy, but Lakmal handled everything with incredible patience and a constant smile. No matter how busy things were, he was always cheerful, attentive, and eager to help. His positive attitude and excellent service truly elevated our dining experience every day. We would also like to sincerely thank Dhananjeya from the concierge/travel desk team. He efficiently handled all our transportation and excursion arrangements throughout the trip — from early morning surfing sessions to temple visits, dinners, and family outings. Whether we needed a small vehicle for a few people or a large coach for the whole family, everything was always arranged perfectly and on time. He was consistently kind, calm, professional, and extremely dependable. What makes this resort truly special is not just the beautiful property, but the people. The warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality shown by the team made this one of the most memorable family vacations we have ever had. Thank you once again to the entire team at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort. We leave with beautiful memories and look forward to coming back again.
We visited Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort on May 22 for a day visit, and honestly, it was one of the most relaxing days we’ve had in a while. From the moment we arrived, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made us feel comfortable straight away. The whole place has a calm vibe — lots of greenery and a beautiful ocean view. It didn’t feel crowded or noisy, which I really liked. The food was another highlight for us. There were plenty of options, and everything we tried was really tasty. We especially enjoyed the variety and the way the dishes were presented. We mainly spent our time just walking around, enjoying the views, and relaxing. It’s the kind of place where you can just switch off for a few hours and forget everything else. Overall, we had a really nice experience. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a peaceful place with good food and a relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely consider visiting again.
Wonderful weekend spent with the family. Perosanized touches, excellent service. Yohan took very good care of us. Verele was excellent and by far the best Italian food I’ve had was at the Italian restaurant

I visited this beautiful property with my family for a high tea experience, and it truly exceeded our expectations.

Special thanks to Jeewa and Namesh from the service team for their warm welcome and excellent service, and to Himasha & Janindu at reception for their assistance with the other hotel facilities. We will definitely visit again for a stay!

We returned from the Anantara the end of April. First time that i've had the chance to review. What an amazing hotel. Every part of our holiday was perfect. From check in to our departure I really can't fault one single thing. We had half board included. Food was extremely good in the main restaurant and also the two other options. Every member of staff was so very helpful and polite. Rooms are perfect. Thank you for a memorable holiday. So much so, we are returning next April.

Perfect service. Perfect accommodation, anantara like always ! Thank specially to Yohan who help a lot with lost belongings not even in hotel, he made our vocation ideal ) villa 604 have grat view and also privacy but located on the beach we loved a lot!
I'm about to wrap up my 3 day stay here and I'm already thinking about when I can book my next stay. The property and rooms is stunning and comfortable, the food has been exceptional but what made my stay memorable is the lovely friendly staff. I was so well looked after by Thisari, Ishaan, Krishan and Maeru.
We had an absolutely amazing stay at Anantara, truly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. The hotel itself is beautiful, luxurious, spotless, and maintained to the highest standards.

We had an amazing honeymoon at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort. Everything was beautifully arranged, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special thanks to our villa host Shiron, for the wonderful care and hospitality. Truly a memorable and perfect experience!
Sehr ansprechendes Frühstücksbuffet Restaurants sind alle sehr gut Zimmer schön, gross und sauber Strand mit Liegen sehr gut, Baden im Meer allerdings schwierig, da sehr starke Strömung. Viele interessante Tiere in der Hotelanlage.
Schlechter Empfang: kein Wilkommesdrink dafür Werbung für Anantara Mitgliedschaft und Donations für Projekte Falsches Zimmer Beides konnte aber gut und schnell behoben werden.
Overall perfect, but lacks personality. This was I think our 8th Anantara Hotel, having stayed in Anantara in Thailand and Vietnam, plus Sri Lanka. All the other hotels on this trip had buffet breakfast and Evening meal, we were a bit disappointed about the lack of this facility. The evening meal menu was a bit restrictive and disappointing. Overall, the staff at the hotel and very efficient, polite and professional. The rooms are very clean, well thought out and has everything that you would want. Plenty of fresh water, the hot water in the room was suspect, never managed to get the water hot, not a major issue. Our room was ok, nice gesture by the staff with different ‘towel art’ . Nice touch with the cakes and chocolate freebies. There was a nice background sound of the waves crashing onto the beach. The beach is great, but swimming is going to be difficult due to the nature of the waves and tide. The pool is brilliant and these are well maintained and fully staffed. Reception staff are very helpful and willing to go the extra mile. Couple of items that may be of interest. The pathways are also used by staff delivering items to rooms etc, my hearing is not great, and the vehicles do travel at pace and the elderly may not realise they are travelling on the same path. My conclusion is that the hotel is in an ideal situation, a bit remote from anything else, very little attraction in Tangalle. The rooms are great, the grounds are well maintained. It all sound perfect and in a way it is, but there appears to be no ‘focal point’ no bar area, very little entertainment. It sort of lack ‘personality’. Would we stay there again? Yes, but only for a short number of days. Now for some really positive stuff. We arranged for the “Experience a cuisine rich with aromatic spices and fresh produce at Spice Spoons cooking school” which my partner attended, she absolutely loved the whole experience, and I was able to try one or two of the dishes, stunning. Two names to mention. Kasun and Manju, my partner was very impressed and credit to both for making the day worthwhile.
Tolle Lage und sehr schöner Strand direkt am Hotel. Anlage ist sehr groß und gepflegt.
Zimmer sind groß müssten aber wieder renoviert werden. Sie sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen
We had a lovely stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thisari, who looked after us throughout made sure everything we needed was accommodated with ease and kindness. Thisari also suggested we go on the canoe trip and that was idyllic. The entire team were attentive and genuinely welcoming, which made a real difference to our stay. We were also very grateful for the late checkout, which was much appreciated. The pool area was particularly lovely – a perfect place to relax and the pool staff were great putting our towels out each day. All the staff looked after us so well, and we will definitely be back. A well-deserved five-star rating
If you're looking for a slice of paradise in Sri Lanka, this is it ! From the moment I arrived at Anantara, I was blown away by the stunning location. The sound of waves, the lush greenery, and the peaceful atmosphere instantly made me feel relaxed and completely disconnected from the outside world. The food was another highlight. Whether it was the incredible Sri Lankan dishes or the international cuisine, every meal was a treat. Relaxing at the spa, enjoying the infinity pool, or just taking a quiet walk along the beach. It's a perfect mix of relaxation and experience..
The team at anatara made our stay wonderful & very memorable. They went above & beyond to make us feel at home from the moment we stepped foot on the premises until we left. Not to mention the food was amazing! The staff was very flexible whenever we needed to change our reservations and plans! It was one of the best hotel stays we have ever had!
We loved it so much here we came back after our trip to Yala to stay for a further 3 nights. Everything was perfect. We stayed in a regular room and also a beach view villa. Both were fabulous. The service from all the staff was next level, especially around the pool. We ate in all the restaurants and the food was perfect. Also caters very well to children. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely wonderful location and the food was unbelievable and unique. We had a very relaxing time in the hotel. The staff was wonderful especially Miss Himasha Ishani and the Young lad in the bar by the pool who served us, unfortunately I don’t remember his name. The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming and we will definitely come back ❤️
