A gem on a beautiful sandy beach hidden away.

The hotel is new with a unique architecture. The service was exceptional from check in to dining to room service to check out. Our beach view room was breathtaking. We were able to see the lovely sunrise from the beach. The hotel is located directly on a beautiful sandy beach. The room layout was cozy and very clean.

We stayed 3 nights at anantaya resort at the end of january as a family with our two kids (1 & 3 yo) and had a really nice time. The check in process was easy and smooth, the receptionist was very attentive to our needs. We stayed at a superior room and it was big enough for us, they even provided us with a babycot. The pool is big, there’s even a kids’ pool, and we saw some rooms have direct access to the pool. The staff is very helpful, friendly and always attentive to your needs. The food is outstanding, you have the option to sit inside or outside overlooking a pond with fish and the ocean. Its beautiful. The morning breakfast buffet stood out for us as they also have halal options available. The resort is away from the city very nice if you want to take time off to relax. There’s nothing much around however you can take a car or tuktuk to explore the city as it’s not too far. Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the sea as much our first day because the waves were too rough however the rest of the days it was better. Overall highly recommend this resort.

Amazing 10 days at Anantaya Resort & Spa

After our first 5 nights at the Anantaya Resort & Spa we were so satisfied with all, that we extended our stay for 4 nights more. The resort is just amazing. The rooms are spotless clean, huge and great equipped. We had a great view to the sea and the pool. The pool is the biggest one we've ever seen - wow! Also the beach is like the caribbean sea or the maldives. The food (we had breakfast and dinner) was delicious every day and the staff in the whole Resort (especially the waiters) were every time so friendly and courteous. Because we were sometimes the only guests (due the ongoing political situation in the country) we had the possibility to choose our own set-menu directly by the chef-cook and it was even so delicious! Also the management of the resort is very kind and fulfills every wish. The price/ performance ratio is just perfect. We enjoyed every minute at Anantaya Resort & Spa and can highly recommend it! Thanks for the great time - we hope to come back again!!! Christa & Stefan, Switzerland

Relaxing hotel with wonderful staff

We had a very enjoyable time while staying here and were warmly greeted by friendly staff from the moment we arrived. The rooms were very clean and furnished to a high standard, and if any issue came up the maintenance team resolved it quickly. Breakfast and dinner buffets were enjoyable, with a good selection available every day. The restaurant and kitchen is ran by a hardworking team of managers, waiters and chefs who will go out of there way to help (even if like us you arrive to dinner 10 minutes before the retainer closes - thank you!). We also had some great cocktails at the bar. The private beach is beautiful and the swimming pool was great too. The housekeeping washing and ironing service was quick and to an excellent standard. The room was quiet at night and we slept well. I might suggest that guests research local tour operators if looking to explore, book airport transfers, or book leisure activities as the hotel prices were significantly more expensive. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Pasikuda, and look forward to returning again!

Хороший пятизвёздочный отель

Хороший пятизвёздочный отель. Очень качественные материалы отделки, эргономичный номер (останавливались в Pool suite), отлично убирают 2 раза в день, вкусная кухня. Минус: кофе низкого качества, медленный интернет, отсутствие йогурта или curd на завтрак. Площадь номера указывается с учётом бассейна и лужайки, т.е. сам номер не 90 метров, а около 35-40. Для ребёнка можно заказать специальное блюдо. Рекомендую брать HB или FB: питание по меню будет дороже. Пляжные развлечения около отеля Marina: sup, windsurfing, кайяк. Минут 10 по пляжу. Кораллов около отеля нет и спуск очень плавный, волны слабые или нет совсем: купаться одно удовольствие.

We stayed for 3 nights and had an excellent stay. The staff from check in up to the lifeguards were all friendly and provided excellent service. The food was plentiful and fresh and the staff were extremely helpful. The rooms were spotless. The gardens were well manicured and well laid out, the pool was great. Great stretch of beach although it was windy and a bit rough. My son loved that the staff off duty joined in to play volleyball every evening. Overall a great stay and would highly recommend this property for relaxed holiday. Only recommendation is if the beach could be cleaned up daily of all the plastic that gets washed ashore.

The staff, from the general manager, to the reception staff, to waiters, all went out of their way to make our stay a fantastic one. I could not stress this enough, but the service was exceptional. The hotel is beautifully done, has a great pool and a decent beach front. The rooms were very clean, try to get a room on a top floor if possible (3rd floor) as the views are better and less disturbances. I would definitely be coming back!!

Excellent place to spend time, massive pool, close to the beach, the rooms are extraordinary. I was slightly not happy with the food, the buffet nor the à la carte menus ddnt have enough varieties and the hotel lacks indoor and other activities it will be more fun if it had a Tenis court, pool table or some indoor activities (hope the hotel will improve on these) Apart from that it is Ananthaya of peace (Infinity peace)

Brillant, tranquil stay

This hotel is quite simply wonderful. The location is completely tranquil, the staff are exceptional and attentive; however they are not in anyway overbearing and give you plenty of privacy. I would recommend going at least half board, as there are very few places nearby to eat elsewhere. Buffet selection for both breakfast and dinner were extremely plentiful and of an extremely high quality.

Best Hotel in Pasikuda

This hotel is along a stretch of pristine beach. There are 14 resorts all of which seem very private. The swimming is great and the sea is calm. There are jet skis and boats for hire as well. The Anantaya was built in 2016 and is the newest resort there. It is beautiful. We got a room that steps into the pool which I highly suggest paying the extra. It was very convenient to dining, the beach and swim up bar. The rooms are pristine and chic with great bedding and beautiful draperies. The food was fresh and all natural using what the island has to offer. The kitchen staff and chef are very proud of their work. Their kitchen is super clean as we got to take a tour while we were there. What makes this hotel even more special is the service. The kitchen staff befriended us, played volleyball with us and felt like family after 3 days. Max was our main waiter and he was a joy. Wathsala the customer relations manager went over and above in everything we asked of her. If she could have come with us we would have taken her on the rest of our trip. The people, the place, five star in any country.
