Nice rooms overlooking extensive rice paddies. The restaurant and pool were also located so as to overlook the same view. I think most visitors are coming to visit Yala Park. Available material indicated that there were nature hikes and a visit to a place where buffalo curd (yogurt) was produced. However upon inquiry, we were told that the buffalos were gone and that there were no hikes. It would probably be best to remove these suggestions from company material. However we did find a very nice hike through adjacent village back roads. The manager was very nice.
We loved Ananya and would recommend it very highly. The resort is in a wonderful position on a long sandy beach with only a few other resorts in sight. The staff are fantastic- very polite and helpful and friendly. The swimming pool is lovely and it is so relaxing to sit looking at the sea from the beach. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable and the views from the balconies in the front are spectacular especially at night. Breakfasts are delicious - try the hoppers! We came back to Ananya at the end of our trip around Sri Lanka because we enjoyed it so much. Thank you Ananya team!
Bed, room, shower, good ac, breakfast, balcony/terrace. Everything about the room is very good. It is new and in perfect condition. Even better are the hosts and their service. You get a great and daily changing breakfast, nice dinner if you like, and help to plan your activities in Tissa. The place might be a little out of the town, but that is not a bad thing! The town does not offer much. To get around, to town or to the next beach, you can rent a scooter there and directly behind the property is the Yoda lake. It is perfect for walks in the morning, or for sunset. The sun sets over the lake. It's very quiet and you can see a couple or nice animals there. The 2 times we went there, we saw Grey langur monkeys. Also you can see the buffalos around and in the lake, with just their heads looking out and many different kinds of birds.
