Anilana Pasikuda

Good

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.

We really enjoyed our stay. Impressive architecture, supernice pool, motivated staff and high standard bungalows with great interior design. (Best bed and pillows in sri lanka!!) The breakfast had a big variety of local and international dishes. „Order what you want, it’s all included“.

We enjoyed the stay on this hotel and stayed in the pool that is so beautiful. The only thing that is not good is the beach as it is full of corals and stone. Other than that, the whole resort is beautiful.

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!

After passing the ugly massive entrance wall, a nice resort with centralised pool appeared. Rooms were very well organised and decored, and it had been a perfect stay if not the tap water quality had been directly disgusting (yellowish and odourous) and the restaurant was very fluctuating in performance. BF was ok, although serving old bread the 2nd morning, but I was also served a piece of chicken that was cooked probably the day before, certainly not fresh - and that simply not acceptable for such a place (and cost).

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.

We Staid 24th FEB to 26th February With my 2 children 4 years and 6 years they charge 6 years Old child for breakfast for 20 USD but There is a no Food. this hotel not a 5 Star and not maintaining any more Better find some Another Place if you can.

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

Everything is bad

Very good all round. Buffet food was decent. Only issue was weak wi fi signal throughout the hotel.

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

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.

The photos of this resort make it look like paradise. Don't be fooled. Though it may have been a high quality hotel at one point it certainly isn't now. From the state of the disgusting sun loungers, the cracked glass tiles in the pool to the pathetic lagoon with bricks and plastic barrels - this place needs renovating badly. Combine this with the worst service have come across in Sri Lanka and you may begin to understand why we were so disappointed with our stay at Anilana. The staff were completely disinterested in us and at some points we just downright rude. We had prepaid to stay here and if we hadn't I think we would have checked out after the first night. For what we paid I think this place was a complete rip off. The only positives were the rooms (clean and spacious) and the breakfasts. Otherwise I think we'd have been asking to be refunded.

The positives: The staff are great and the rooms lovely , but the eroded beach front , dead coral in the ocean and lack of anything to really do makes the trek hear not worth it - stay at Trinco / Ninaveli instead where at least there is a proper beach and real ocean , the beach in this area is a glorified habour

very bad experience with staff, staff rude with kids.

very bad experience with hotel staff

ACCESS TO BEACH WITH A NICE POOL. ROOM ARE CLEAN AND WELL EQUIPPED. BREAK FAST WAS EXCELLENT.

Beautiful clean place. Nice beach. Will visit again

Anilana's website is completely deceiving. Pictures on the website's 360 panorama image show beach chairs on sand - this is not the case. Anilana's strip of sand cannot be called a beach. It is littered with trash and composed of more rocks than sand. The rooms are very large but are not decorated nicely and are starting to look aged. Service is OK but not as attentive as we would expect. If you visit the area take a look at the other hotels closer to the public beach.
