- Peshan RajColombo, Sri Lanka33 contributionsLuxury in Paradise🤩🤩🤩Last weekend was my 2nd visit to this luxury resort in paradise. I stayed at one of the 7 luxury one bed room pool villas in this iconic resort which is nestled between a lagoon & the Indian Ocean. My stay at this resort was a divine & a luxurious experience since the villa was beautifully arranged, cleaned & equipped with apple TV. Loved every minute in the plunge pool with a glass of prosecco 🍾 Moreover, our villa host Sajani was courteous & attentive & did her best to comply with our requests. In addition, the food at the Olu restaurant was exceptional where I enjoyed some cracking dishes. Compliments to the chef! Kudos to the GM Mr. Joao, Mr. Siva, & Mr. Eranda for all the surprises they had in store for us. This was undoubtedly one of the best luxury resort experiences I have had so far in Sri Lanka! Definitely looking forward for another staycation! 🤩Dear lankafoodcritique, Thank you very much for your nice comments and for being such a loyal guest of Anantara Kalutara. I am delighted to note that you continue to enjoy our resort. We are grateful for your appreciation of the services provided by the team. Indeed it has been our endeavor to offer excellent accommodation, food, and warm and friendly service to all our guests. I will definitely share this feedback with all staff mentioned in your review.

- Alan34 contributionsFantastic place ... but expensive!Stayed here for 3 nights at the end of a 2 weeks travelling around Sri Lanka. It’s a lovely resort, with great service throughout. Our room was really spacious, well-presented, had everything we could need, and there were some really nice extras, like a complimentary bottle of wine on the first night. The main pool has views across the lagoon, and again great service - everything from laying out towels on the loungers, to bringing water and the occasional ice cream snack. We were on BB, and ate in the hotel for some lunches and dinners. The prices were at least double what we paid in other hotels on our trip, and seemed expensive, even by Western standards. But I guess you’re paying for the service you get!Dear Alanc_ac We appreciate the time you have taken to publish your wonderful review about your recent stay with us. It is with great pleasure to note that you have had an amazing time spending in our resort.

Amazing stay at Anantara in Kalutara Sri Lanka. Dilan brightened our day with his elephant, dog and monkey towel animals. Food at the Italian and Spice Traders restaurants were superb. Service and staff are all very attentive, friendly and welcoming. Special shout out to Dilan for making us smile every day and to sanpath for the pool service, to Hashiru on reception who gave us a tour of hotel and was there to sort out anything we needed. Great stay, loved it all.

My first time in SriLanka but not my first at Anantara! 2 nights with my best friend. I had the ocean view room. Rooms were large and spacious and the beds were comfy. Gorgeous covered balcony overlooking the Indian Ocean. The bathrooms were massive as well with a tub and a rain shower! The breakfast buffet was yum as was the dinner buffet. Was lovely to walk around the property. One can walk by the lagoon or the ocean! The staff were also kind. Props to Mr Dilan who kept our room clean and tidy. All in all, I think I made a great choice. Will come with the entire familia next time. That’s gonna be something else :). Keep it up Anantara. We loved your properties at Bangkok, Dubai, Abu Dhabi. Always a treat.

It goes without saying that the location, landscape and up keep of the property was A grade. But what really takes it from great to outstanding is the service quality. The staff is simply so endearing that you want to stay back just for them. A special shout out to Krish who was our go to man for everything. The answer was always ‘yes’. The Bawa Suite was everything that it is said to be. A big thank you. Can’t wait to get back.

From the moment the Booking was made until Checkout time it was a seamless experience. Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location blending in with the natural surroundings. Hospitality from the staff once again a 10/10. Clean Spacious Room with a balcony and beautiful views of the Lagoon. Every dish we tried as a Family of 4 was delicious we had the HB option that worked well for us. I Love a holiday where I can experience a relaxed time with kids and Anantara makes that possible with their Attention to Details like a surprise cake for my Birthday and anticipating what the kids could maybe need so I can relax during meal times. Once again a great experience. Can’t wait to get back #fanforlife

Beautiful hotel with large and luxurious rooms. One night we went to Ole restaurant and as it was a quiet night there, the chef recommended we try a wide range a small Sri Lankan dishes. The food was delicious and we were made to feel very special. Thank you for a great stay.

The Anantara Kalutara Resort is truly one of the best Resorts I have ever stayed in. What makes it even more special are its staff. The friendliness and professionalism of its staff is of the highest standards. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, ALWAYS smiling.....an absolute delight!! Whilst it's very difficult to single out an individual, I had to mention Dilan, who cleaned our room every day with a smiling face and with some truly artistic treats (like his towel artwork - please refer to the picture). :-) This trip was very special to us but both, the Resort and in particular ALL of its staff is what made this trip even more special and unforgettable for us.
