Magnifique Experience
Pros:

If we could rate it 11/10, we would! The place is stunning: (1) the staff were thoughtful and very kind they were so friendly and goes above and beyond (2) the pool has an amazing view and very instagrammable shots, (3) the massive rooms were of amazing quality: monstrous shower, amazing bed with a full sea view, fabulous bathtub as we’ve got upgraded as we came during low season (we pretty much had it to ourselves) and we loved it, (4) the location was perfect for us - away from the crowd/ the relaxation we were hoping for away from the busy Dubai life, (5) the breakfast was phenomenal! My husband loved the eggs Benedict and was having it everyday for 5 days whilst I’m enjoying the fruit platter either served in a plate or I’ve asked for it to be turned to fruit shakes! I can go on and on! It was truly an amazing holiday for us after what has been a stressful 2 months in the Middle East. It renewed us back and our body reset so well because of what Ananthaya Beach offers.

Cons:

You can’t fault it. It was spectacular!

Traumhaft schön
Pros:

Wir waren zwei Wochen unterwegs und wollten uns gegen Ende der Reise ein wenig Luxus gönnen. Das Hotel bietet alle Annehmlichkeiten, die man sich dazu wünschen kann. Die Zimmer waren sauber und das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Besonders hat uns die herzliche Art der Mitarbeiter beim Frühstückservice gefallen. Es gibt zwei Pools mit Meerblick, fantastisches Essen und Ruhe. Wir würden jederzeit wieder herkommen.

Beautiful and relaxing stay by the ocean - top service and accommodation!
Pros:

Our stay at Ananthaya beach hotel was excellent. We were in the new built part of the hotel - spacious, comfortable, clean, tastefully decorated and felt quite luxurious! The view from balcony is incredible.

The breakfast was good, with varied options and there’s an extensive menu for lunch and dinner which we had and were great, especially the seafood. There are other food options near the hotel - just a short tuktuk ride away, don’t be afraid to explore :)

A special mention to the hotel staff, particularly at the restaurant who were very nice and always smiling as well as the spa who were super accommodating and excellent!

The beach in front of the hotel is not really swimmable but walk to the left and you’ll reach a long stretch of deserted and sandy beach. There were strong waves so need to be careful, and limited shade, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. The infinity pool at the hotel was great to come back to and relax after exploring the beach.

Overall, I highly recommend staying here!
