Anantamaa is a very nice hotel, not too large not too small, we believe around 60 rooms. Rooms are located in 4 different blocks all kind of centered around the large swimming pool. Hotel has its own entrance to the beach (small alley, around 100 meters), and has its own little area on the beach with sunbeds. In the beach area you find various restaurants, bars, and small touroperators offering everything linked to watersports.
We had 2 nights half board and the dinner was surprisingly good. 4 course menu with choice for the main course. Both times we were pleasantly surprised. Good quality, nicely presented, good taste, really good level restaurant.
In the surroundings of the hotel, 5 - 10 minutes walk you will find various local restaurants, massage places, juice bar, coffee shop, little shops. Trincomallee is about 10 minutes by tuk tuk.
