Anantara Kalutara Resort Reviews

We had a rest in the beginning of August. It is not the season. There is a beach next to the hotel, but you can not swim in it! You can only watch a beautiful sunset sitting on the shore! All tourist locations are VERY far away, take note! The staff is friendly, everyone is smiling. Cleaning in the room 50/50, the bed linen is changed only when you say so, the robes are not renewed either, disposable slippers are also provided only once (nothing was changed for us), but you must definitely say. It was strange for me that every time the staff touched my things, on the dressing table cosmetics (and it is obvious that they wiped the dust superficially, but still touched), or on the sofa or bed, they touched my things, it is disgusting! I always had to control whether I left something in the wrong place and think about whether the staff would touch it! Things just lie on the chair, they fold them in their own way! Or there are things on the sofa, they will put them differently!!!! And also, we noticed that the water that is poured into bottles, most likely, is poured into these vessels again, because all the glass bottles are "used", which calls into question the filling (where does this water come from?!). As for the food, for some it is different ... I ate only fruit / yogurt and scrambled eggs, everything else is tasteless. Dinner is $ 55 (it was not included for us), it is not worth the money, everything is disgusting! Except for the flatbreads that they make themselves and fruit 😄 The young man ate local cuisine, of course they can cook it, but the usual food (European) of course is not very tasty. But since the location of the hotel is not a tourist location, there is no choice in restaurants and cafes. We had to pay $ 55 and eat what we eat. Lost -3 kg in 6 days 🤪 THANK YOU! ☺️

The room is spacious, the facilities are complete, the environment is beautiful, the service staff are all very polite, even if you don't leave the hotel, you can still have fun with your children

As an Anantara, the standards in all aspects are in place. The hotel is very beautiful and the staff are very friendly. NADEESHANI, the girl in the children's club, is very patient. The children like to play with her very much. The whole hotel is amazing. comfortable

Anantara's hotel has always been stable in luxury + good service, and the children also loved the rock climbing and zip lining activities inside. The most amazing thing is their check-in and check-out ceremony, which is full of enthusiasm and sense of ceremony. I was also lucky enough to observe the small but exquisite celebration held by the hotel for the 76th anniversary of Lanka's independence. It is a quiet seaside hotel suitable for vacation with beautiful views of the sea and lagoon.

The hotel is very beautiful. The guy at the front desk was very enthusiastic and took photos for us from the best view of the hotel. There is a ceremony for check-in and check-out, which is great. The hotel has several restaurants with good taste. In addition, there are many hotel activities that can be booked: beach volleyball, forest yoga, ziplining, etc.

Stayed alone for 2 days. ➕ All the staff are friendly. Number of items on the breakfast buffet. Western food, Sri Lankan food, Indian food, so you won't get tired of it every day. There are two pools, so you don't have to be crowded. There was a gym and a daily program, and I participated in morning and evening training sessions, but since I was the only one there, I was given one-on-one instruction, which was really fun. The cleaners are very friendly. The room was spacious and I could hear the birds singing. Being able to see the sunset on the nearby beach every day. ➖ When I wanted to grab a few drinks and grab a bite to eat in the evening, the Italian restaurant was closed and when I tried to use the bar, there weren't many vegetarian or vegan options. Nothing around. The nearby beach has too high waves for swimming.

I like the style of the hotel very much, with unique details and a sense of design; there are very few Asian foods, all of them are Southeast Asian flavors, and there are few choices for Chinese people. overall satisfaction

I felt very bad when I arrived because I kept saying that I couldn't find the reservation record. After waiting for an hour, I contacted Ctrip later. The person in charge of the other party showed up, upgraded the room, and gave me dinner. Ctrip is still reliable. The hotel is very large overall, and the view from the rooms facing the sea is okay. The food and beverages are basically in line with expectations. I only ate shrimp🦐. When I left the next day, there were many companies here for team building, and there were so many people. It was still a very local hotel.

This is a lovely hotel which includes delicious food with plenty of options. We had great service from Sampath, Yeshan, Thisara and Gayan who always welcomed us each morning with a great smile and always gave us complimentary ice creams around the pool. The only thing we would say to improve is to have a little bit more entertainment in the evenings. Other than that the hotel is amazing. Thank you Anantara for an amazing 2 week stay.

Lovely place, an absolute gem. Truly took me awhile of coming to sri lanka to find a place that is so peaceful, and full of lovely people. I would like to extend my appreciation over to the lovely guest manager, Mahimi who has helped us tremendously through our stay and sorting all the mini request that we asked for, without fail....truly amazing. And also the lovely breakfast team, Heshan for attending to everything effortlessly and humbly. For me the place is one thing,the people are the other and i truly enjoyed this lovely place that sits humbly in the middle of a lake and ocean, with good food and one of the best experiences ive had. Thank you and i will be back as soon as i can. Highly recommend.

We had the loveliest time here. Beds and amenities were so comfortable. The in-room hairdryer was actually powerful enough to dry my hair (!). I booked a cooking class for my husband and Vimukthi and Chef Nipuna were incredible. Highly recommend. The pool guys were also wonderful. Special shout out to Veshan who remembered the drink I loved every time. We were both very well looked after.

Lovey hotel, quick 1hr drive from Colombo. Plenty of activities on site and kids club is amazing. Staff are professional, kind and helpful. Value for money is excellent. When walking you can walk to the Avani Kalutara which is 5 minutes away. Beaches are rough, the pools are refreshing. Breakfast variety was amazing, definitely try the hoppers, a local delicacy made by this village lady that comes in just for that every morning. There is so much nature just in the hotel, next to the main restaurant is a fruit tree, lots of bats in the evening come for it. Lots of birds and we say one baby manticore lizard.

The Pool Service was great! You get all what you want, cool and refreshing drinks, food, fruits, ice tea shots, and so on. If you like, you can do aqua sport. Thank you so much Sampath, Yeshan, Tishara, Gayan, Mithya, Udesh and Imesh for the great Pool service.

Thank you Mr Sanka,Hashiru, Archee, Dilan, Lasanthe ( activities)and the rest of the team for making our stay that much better. Even though the weather was rainy we enjoyed all the amenities and the warmth and hospitality of all the staffs. Thank you and looking forward to another stay soon.
