Beach Chalets are highly recommended”

I was pleasantly surprised at how good Anilana Pasikudah was. I had a very unfortunate stay at "THE CALM" hotel up the beach a bit and chose to check out of there early and I went to stay at Anilana instead. I was able to get early check in at 12pm which was much appreciated, welcome drink and cold towel. We stayed in a Beach Chalet (No 19) and it was perfect in every way. Comfortable big bed, TV that worked with great cable channels including HBO and clear picture. A huge sitting area and both indoor and outdoor shower. I had buffet dinner and it was the best I had in Pasikudah, if not Sri Lanka....huge lagoon prawns and crabs on the bbq were included. Service was excellent from Bar Man Sena and the guy who oversaw the Breakfast buffet, his name starts with A and Im sorry I don't remember how to spell it as it has been some days since I stayed. They do a turn down service with extras in the evening and the breakfast buffet was fabulous. Swimming pool clean. Wifi not great.

Very good place to have a rest from busy world”

Very modern and comfortable rooms. Very interesting choice of paintings in rooms and common area making hotel atmospheric. Clean, large swimming pool with shallow part in the middle. Well organized place for rest. Food is very good, chef and manager do amazing job I gave 4 because selection is limited. One drawback is general knowledge of english within personnel. Reception and managers speak well but there is a problem with others. Anyway I do reccomend Anilana as perfect point to take a rest. BTW: water sports center with very good dive base (deep pool for refresh/training), kite, fishing, etc. is just 5 min tuk tuk ride from Anilana

Great beach holidays ”

We stayed in Anilana for 4 nights. It was a great beach hotel with stunning view. The bed was super comfortable, room with modern deco and very clean. They have an infinity pool overlooking the beach. Food was alright. Cons: the beach has many stones and corals which made it difficult to swin in. We had to walk to the public beach area for a good dip. Limited restaurant, we had to dine at the hotel.

Amazing location with beautiful beach”

We stayed two nights at Anilana Pasikudah and our experience was great. The beach is very clean and makes an amazing view with the infinite pool. We witnessed breathtaking view of sun rising at around 5.30am. The staff was very friendly and room cleaning service was on-time always. Overall impression was positive but the food was average.

Pleasant stay”

I stayed at Anilana Pasikuda resort in Aug 2-10 with my daughter and friends. We liked the resort and the staff who were courteous and smiling. I felt great and safe there.

The pool at the Anilana is amazing . The staff set up a BBQ with different specials everyday. ”

We are a family of 5 and stayed in the duplex rooms in the main hotel. On arrival we were tired and scruffy after a 6hr journey from Loolecondera and we were given a cloth to refresh and a drink which was very welcome . The buffet was excellent and I loved the Sri Lankan curry which I had nearly every night and the staff were happy to make pasta with tomatoe sauce for our son . Their was a glitch with their wine supply so I think they had two reds or whites to choose from so I stuck with Arrack cocktails . Also a coffee machine or even French presses would be a good idea. The staff make a huge effort to be as helpful as they can and are very friendly The pool was fantastic and we could've lived in it . Also every day they set up a BBQ by the pool with different specials for lunch I didn't like the beach it was too muddy and shallow for me to swim in but I'm fussy about beaches coming from a coastal Irish town with an Atlantic beach !

Felt like a private beach holiday with lovely service and great food.”

Shout out to Munas who took great care of us for our lunch breakfasts and dinner. Very friendly staff made us feel special and well taken care off. They brought us complimentary mango popsicles by the beach. The setting is beautiful with all wooden furniture and well kept grounds. We enjoyed the tennis, chess and table tennis. The food is pricier than the rest of Sri Lanka but it’s much cheaper than the other luxury hotels along the beach and tasted great. Only con is the corals on the beach, but they provided slippers for us to use. There is a beautiful beach 12 minute walk away called Kalkudah beach which was completely empty and felt like paradise.

Unbeatable value for money”

We stayed at one of the beach chalets. The room is large and well designed, just in front of a private beach and the swimming pool. The staff was fantastic to us and every single meal was amazing. From breakfast with sri lankan and western specialties to fresh seafood for dinner. Also the cocktails prepared by Michael were amazing. We had thai massages, highly recommended as well. To mention a bad thing for us, the gym was not open yet and the location is a bit far from other sri lankan places and a bit difficult to access. Also the public beach close to the resort is busy and dirty, something that disturbed a little bit our walks along the long beach. Highly recommended hotel overall

It was an amazing stay.. Staff was very friendly. ”

This is my second visit to anilana and I would never hesitate to visit again..

5 star all the way ”

My family absolutely loved this hotel. The manager, Keerthi Allus, was incredibly helpful in ensuring that we had the most incredible time. He is clearly a person who leads by example, and the level of service we received by everyone was exemplary. We had a beach chalet, which was huge and perfectly positioned for an idyllic view of the ocean. Add to that a king sized bathroom and a private outdoor shower and you couldn’t ask for anything more. The buffet was fantastic with so many wonderful choices. The pool is tantalisingly designed so that you can imagine it merges into the ocean. Overall, it was the natural sense of happiness that the staff exudes that makes this resort so special. We will be back.

Amazing hotel”

Couldn’t fault this hotel. The rooms were well appointed and spotlessly clean. The pool area was amazing with great views of the coastline, although the beach was pretty much non existent! Meals were all top quality and excellent value for money, best breakfasts we’ve had on our trip. The staff were really friendly and provided excellent service. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely Weekend (June 24-26)”

Pros: 1) Greeted with a welcome drink 2) Easy check-in 3) Rooms & Toilet are big & clean 4) Bed is big and comfy 5) Balcony with the pool & ocean view 6) Very nice pool. They also have enough supplies for your swimming needs (beach towels, sunblock lotion, floaters, rubber slippers & toys for lil bubba's) 7) Majority of the staffs are very helpful though some has limited english. Anura from the buffet station is very attentive with all our needs. 8) AC/Fan works well 9) Quiet & relaxing Cons: 1) Lunch/ Dinner buffet is a bit let-down. Lacking variety of Sri Lankan & western food. At dinner ,we were served cold prawns & crab with lemon butter sauce. The Pork with pepper sauce was very salty. The pasta we ordered was good though. 2) Fitness center was unavailable 3) The beach fronting the resort is very rocky. We walked about 15-minutes to a much finer beach and We actually enjoyed it., walking in the sand and watched people enjoying the day. 4) In-room dining just ok.

Brilliant. Staff simply could not do enough to look after us throughout or 6 night stay”

Beautiful views, lovely room. Great pool. Restaurant serves amazing food with portion sizes fit for an American! But above all, I really cannot recall staying at a hotel and being treated so well by all of the hotel staff. Our highlight was a beautiful poolside evening meal created by the staff for my wife and I. Not requested but simply offered to us as guests. Thank you so much for a unique six day hotel experience.

Wonderful beach Chalet”

Highly recommend the beach Chalet which is just next to the sea and a few steps to the pool. We went out to watch sunset and sunrise in our little patio. Staff is also very friendly and caring. Food is okay with good selection. One thing that disappointed me a bit is the beach, the hotel is not located in the sandy side but the rocky side. Having said that.

Peaceful, relaxing with wonderful staff”

It our first time on the east coast of Sri Lanka. We stayed 4 nights just to detatress and get family quality time. The rooms were really nice and comfy and the sound of the waves eased us to sleep every night. Staff were amazing, attending to all our needs. Food was good Pool and beach were excellent I would go back again

Comfortable, well looked after, good value”

Very relaxing and very enjoyable. We travelled with our 6 months baby and the Hotel extended a full time nanny to us which just made our holiday complete. Beautiful location, brand new hotel, will only get better with time. Delicious food, comfortable beach chalet rooms, free wifi, it felt more like a private villa than a hotel the staff were over attentive ! Good find

Best Mattress in Sri lanka🤩”

Great little Property, good value for money, we booked Loft Rooms, it was so spacious for our family and very comfortable. The staff are amazing, they so helful. Beach front is a disappointment, they need to maintain it properly, you need to walk a little along the shores to the bathing area. Check in and check out was handled well, special mention to the mattress, i really felt one day was not enough, the bed was so comfortable and one of the best in Sri Lanka to be honest. Great property, but need to pay more attention to guest, and improve their services

Good Hotel with a good perspecitve ”

It is a nice hotel with really great rooms. The beach is unfortunately covered with rocks and corals. THe tourists stay at the pool all day long. After a few days there should be a little bit more things to do.

Beach chalets - excellent”

The beach chalets are great, outside shower good idea. Great views and sunrise. Pool excellent, cocktails delicious. Beach needs a clean up, which would provide another choice to relax by and enjoy.

Great beach chalet ”

Very spacious beach chalet and great mocktails mixing guy Michael Angelo. Better to preorder buffet food if you are after local dishes.
