The perfect place for a peaceful holiday!
Pros:

This was our second stay at Ananya. We love the location and the peace and quiet. The top floor rooms have the most incredible views and the infinity pool is huge and very clean. The hotel is relatively small so it never felt busy or crowded which was a big plus. Rooms are well maintained and spotless. Breakfast especially the Sri Lankan one is a must and there are some nice things to do nearby including the evening lagoon boat ride with Jacki. It is definitely not a place for loud people/partying but if you're looking for proper peace and quiet this spot is for you!

Cons:

The lunch and dinner menu feels a bit limited if you stay for longer than a couple of days but you can get around this by getting a cab into town or walking to nearby hotels for meals (just make sure to check they're opening times). The staff are generally friendly but tend to be quite distant and made us feel like we were bothering them at times which was a shame...

Super détente
Pros:

Très beau resort de 12 chambres. A 25 minutes environ du centre de Tangalle, j’ai passé plusieurs nuits incroyables. Ma chambre donnait sur le lagoon juste à côté (n’hésitez pas à demander à la réception de pouvoir faire un tour). Du petit déjeuner au dinner, ma chambre, le personnel, tout était propres, conformes aux photos et professionnels (les employés donc!). La mer est agitée, de ce fait, la piscine nous permet de nous rafraîchir !

Traumstrand mit schönem Hotel
Pros:

Ein Traumstrand! Und gerade an diesem Abschnitt des Strandes ist es am schönsten. Die Fruchtsäfte und Milchshakes sind super. Das Frühstück war unser Highlight. Aber auch das Abendessen war gut und direkt am Strand. Der Pool ist auch schön. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und ordentlich, vielleicht ein bißchen in die Jahre gekommen. Aber alles in allem, war dieser Ort der Schönste auf unserer Reise.

wie im Paradies
Pros:

Sehr schöne und gepflegte Anlage. Traumhafter langer Sandstrand ideal zum spazieren. Ruhige Lage, perfekt zum Erholen. Super großzügiges Sri Lankian Frühstück mit bestem Linsencurry der gesamten Reise. Auch Abendessen ist sehr zum empfehlen fangfrischer Fisch sehr schmackhaft zubereitet.

If you want a quiet and serene beach spot, this is it
Pros:

Walking on the beach here, especially to the east, past the palm trees and occasional fishing boats, and hardly any people, you feel like you’ve stepped back in time to pristine pre-development Sri Lanka. Then you return to the comfort of the view from your room, the lovely big pool, and the absence of the usual street noise because you’re at the end of the road.

Directly in the longest, spotless beach I have ever seen
Pros:

This is the remote beach dream I was hoping for. Indeed directly in the beach. We walked 2 hours (and there was as still no end of beach to see) and met the first other couple after 1.5hours (beside some fishermen). I didn’t know this would still exists after I have seen so many crowded places in SriLanka.
Service was extremely nice and helpful. Really don’t understand some of the other reviews of mixed service experience. We had service at the beach, could stay longer using their facilities post check-out, had super honest recommendations on the food eg what fish is really fresh one, they even brought us a cooler for a wine which we have bought outside at a wine store, for breakfast we enjoyed the oat porridge bowl (try it at least once it’s great)
You should not come to this place if you like to have a big party till past midnight, if you are an all-inclusive tourist having music and alcohol all day around … but that makes this a perfect hide-away that these tourist are NOT here.
Yes it is not 5 star (but it also doesn’t cost five star) yet all is very very clean. From our 2h walks on the beach we believe it is the only hotel with a true direct beach view from hotel, pool , sunbeds.

Cons:

Nothing (the road to the hotel is a bit bumby but as you don’t like to leave this paradise anymore it really doesn’t matter)

Pros:

Wir haben leider nur eine Nacht in diesem wunderschönen, direkt am Strand gelegenen Hotel verbracht – und rückblickend war es der schönste Aufenthalt unserer gesamten Sri-Lanka-Rundreise.
Die Zimmer sind luxuriös und sehr hochwertig ausgestattet, man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an rundum wohl. Besonders begeistert hat uns der nahezu menschenleere Strand direkt vor der Tür. Es gibt ausreichend Liegen, und man kann kilometerweit am Wasser entlangspazieren – einfach traumhaft.
Das Frühstück war sehr lecker g

und reichlich – ein perfekter Start in den Tag.
Wir haben uns hier unglaublich wohlgefühlt und können dieses Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Wenn wir wieder nach Sri Lanka reisen, würden wir definitiv länger bleiben.

Customer awareness must be improved
Pros:

Beautiful location. Stunning views and beach.

Cons:

Compared to our previous stay, the level of service has deteriorated (including but not limited to: -no more beach service-extremely limited choice of drinks - unattentive workforce). Erratic hot water supply.

Pros:

A surprising highlight given the value of the place. Lovely big room, balcony overlooking the pool and beach, perfect location, super quiet, high quality food (and prawn curry was ordered more than once, and the Sri Lankan breakfast was great). Being able to have a walk on the beach, swim in the sea, and then jump into the basically private pool (there are 6 rooms, so the likelihood of anyone else being in the pool at the same time is slim) was a delight. Very friendly and helpful staff - fresh (not instant) coffee brought to the room no problem, and they even managed to procure some flip flops from a local shop one morning. Recommend taking up the spa offer, too - the one the hotel recommends (4 minute tuk tuk down the road) is very good.

Cons:

Nothing - great for the price.
