Anama Tangalle by Anka

Fantastic place, great staff and fabulous location. It was marvelous to have our own private pool, so refreshing to have a dip first thing in the morning. Tarik and Hamesh were so helpful and friendly. We had continental breakfast twice but had to try the Sri Lankan after reading reviews and it did not disappoint! Everything about our stay was outstanding, would definitely recommend.

My recent stay at Anama Hotel, Tangalle was amazing and I wanted to make sure I wrote a review to let others know. First of all the staff was very welcoming and friendly, the food was amazing and the music was great. But the most impressive part is that when you walk into the rooms, it gives you the feeling as if you have your own apar**ent with your own pool. This hotel has pools for each room and another common pool. …it’s not easy finding a hotel like this even in the US, with a private pool for each room. It’s an ideal setup even for a family vacationing with children. The whole family could enjoy their own private pool without worrying about disturbing others. We loved walking the few blocks to the beautiful beach and the fish market. It’s a different experience to have when you visit the beach at the time the fishing boats return to shore. The experience staying at this hotel provided the best relaxation possible. Hoping to visit Anama hotel again soon. Thank you for your wonderful service!

“What are the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at?” After staying a fabulous night at Anama Tangalle, I asked this question myself. It is a tough one to answer – because I’ve been fortunate to stay at places around the world where the “amazing and wow” factors go off the charts. However, the Anama villas with private in-room pools and open air showers for each room tend to be one of the most luxurious. After touring the city attractions in Tangalle in the heat, you’ll definitely relish the luxury of cooling off in your own outdoor pool afterward! The cleanliness, most caring and responsive staff, the location, true Sri Lankan hospitality, bundled with an owner who thrives to make a difference in the nearby villages, made our stay absolutely memorable.

We absolutely loved our stay at Anama Tangalle. Amidst the pandemic, we were looking for a safe and quiet place to have a quick gateway with our kids, and Anama ticked all the boxes! It was clean, located few mins from the beach and had amazing hospitality. The hotel is centrally located to most of the tourist attractions in hambanthota such as the ridheegama open safari and hambanthota birds park. Our three kids loved the private plunge pool and the open air shower ! Highly recommend anyone whose looking for safer and less crowded hotels.

Anama was a strange ‘hotel’ experience. When we arrived, we were not met warmly and the manager immediately asked us to pay upfront which was quite off-putting. When the manager left, we didn’t see them again, not even for check out. The staff left behind couldn’t speak any English and were clearly not trained (which is not their fault). We essentially had no hotel ‘service’ and were entirely left alone. When it came to check out, the staff didn’t know what our bill was so were backwards and forwards with someone on the phone. We also had a breakfast query on the bill and couldn’t get any answers (breakfast was overpriced and really terrible). The rooms are charged in dollars but they had no card machine - which they should really mention on the booking site. Overall, the room was nice and the pool a great win but managements attitude and operation is severely lacking for a “5 star hotel”. The owners are clearly trying to get away with doing the absolute bare minimum for a ‘luxury’ price. We won’t be coming back.

The private pool was good, the hotel emplacement is near to the city center and other restaurants on the beach The owner was nice and helpful I promote this accommodation specially for couples Don't hesitate to book it!

We loved our stay in this hotel. It’s beautiful and very private.We also had a private pool. That was amazing. The room was very clean and we would absolutely recommend staying there. The host is also very nice and helpful. We would stay there again

A very classy, comfortable hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was fine and about 5 mins walk away from the beach. Everything was just perfect. For anyone who wants to relax and enjoy the stay in Tangalle, I highly recommend this place.

My partner and I stayed in one of the luxury villas and had the best time ever! The rooms are beautiful and we had our own private pool on the 1st floor, surrounded by nature and away from the crowds. This is a perfect place for vacation, with plenty of privacy and comfort. The beds are very comfortable and the room is quite clean, as well as the pool. Another thing we loved was the staff- they were extremely welcoming from the moment we arrived and they made our experience memorable. They prepared a delicious dinner and breakfast for us and they exceeded our expectations. We 100 % recommend it and we will definitely come back if we visit Tangalle again. 10 out of 10!
