This is a stunning resort, with excellent service and beautiful surroundings. It's a shame that the tourist industry in Sri Lanka is suffering but everyone is very welcoming and we were grateful for the peace and quiet at anilana.
The beach bungalow we stayed in was exceptionally clean, spacious and comfortable. We had an amazing view of the ocean from our bed! Bottled water, replacement tea and coffee and room cleaning was offered twice a day. The WiFi is good throughout the resort.
All of the staff were really friendly, professional and helpful, but particularly the waiting staff, who really took pride in their work. Thank you for making our stay memorable and for arranging a surprise romantic dinner for us!
We enjoyed all the food we had at anilana. Breakfast was excellent and we would recommend the barracuda fish and the biryani from the main menu in particular.
The beach immediately outside the hotel is quite small and rocky, and the stretch to the right on the hotel is not kept clean, with quite a lot of plastic wash up, but both the beach past this (kallkudah) and to the left (passikudah) are awesome.
Highly recommended for a short or long stay
