Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle, highlighting its stunning location with a picturesque beach bordered by rocks. Many enjoyed spacious, well-appointed rooms with comfortable king beds and large bathrooms featuring rainfall showers, with some noting ocean views from furnished balconies. The breakfast buffet is often mentioned for its variety, including fresh fruit smoothies and hoppers, however, some guests felt the food quality didn't quite match expectations. Complimentary activities like the nature walk, river boat tour, and bicycles add to the experience, along with easy access to Goyambokka beach and its restaurants.
