Reviews of Amanta Beach

Fabulous hotel with lovely staff. The room was gorgeous & the hotel generally well designed & set out for a very relaxing stay. The breakfast was also delicious. A real moment of understated luxury. Thank you.

We absolutely had an wonderful stay! The staff was very friendly, the food was delicious. A real private hideaway! If you are looking for a zen experience, we would really recommend this.

Very nice hotel in the area. A bit further from the town, but very calm and the food is good

The accomodation was really beautiful, quiet and clean. The chef did an amazing job on dinner (and lunch), it is definitely worth it to have dinner at the accomodation at least once :) All the staff was super friendly and provided us with everything that we needed. We spend our time chilling on the private beach and diving with Divinguru in Nilaveli. We both booked an ayeurvedic massage at the accomodation and the lady who gave the massage was very professional. We did have our own tuktuk, which was very convenient as there is not much to do in Kumpurupiddi itself and we went to Nilaveli when we wanted to eat out.

excellent location

food options .. since there are not many restaurants around . their place has very few food options would love if they increase the options

Beautiful location pretty much on the beach. Verry quite beach also , service is exquisite More like a boutique hotel verry nice and clean. Felt like Royalty

Little expansive compared to the other hotels but we upgrade to this one beceaus of a bad experience in another one. Worth the money for sure.

The gardens are absolutely magnificent, the decor and location was just beautiful! A huge quiet beach is right on your doorstep! Tranquil and just gorgeous!

Comodity and silence. Perfect location on the beach (clean and quiet)

Menu was a little bit expensive (although it was very tasty and healthy) you can also ask for a tuktuk to eat somewhere else so it is fine.

Great location, food, service and comfort ! The room was beautiful with all needed comfort and decorated with taste. It was also very clean.

Nothing, everything is perfect

Beautiful

No other tourists. Perfect balance.

Despite the non stopping rain for days and days, our stay in Amanta Beach was just perfect. Everything is as shown on the photos and written in the description and actually there is much more. Slightly out of the village, just right on the private beach, with a huge garden and a cute swimming pool, you will be offered very tasty breakfasts and dinners.. The rooms and the private gardens have everything you may need. And those stylish decorations! I need to mention also the very lovely staff who make you feel very welcome and still manage to give you the privacy you want in such a place. It is not the cheapest, but absolutely worth the value.

Very peaceful place to relax! Staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is amazing!

AC wasn’t working too great.

The hotel is stunning, it feels very luxurious for a reasonable price for european standards. The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially the manager Shyakthi. We ended up staying 2 more nights. The biggest highlight was the private beach, we were there alone most of the time and the sea is perfect for swimming. The beach is equipped with sun beds and a shower. The hotel offers 4 course dinner for 7000 rupees per person and ayurvedic massage for 35 dollars. It is the perfect place if you want to relax in a beach resort.

The location is very remote, which might or might not be a downside. There are no restaurants nearby. If you're looking to discover the Trincomalee area, try to stay in town, or you can get a tuk tuk for around 2500 rupees one way (30 mins), or take the bus. The dinner and other services provided are pricy for Sri Lanka.

Great place to stay when visiting Trincomalee. Not a very big property but very well maintained. Exceptionally friendly staff. Clean and comfortable room with amenities.

The location is great. Room and amenities are up to standard and very clean. Very friendly and kind staff. Superb Sri Lankan breakfast. Place is very clean and well maintained. There were a couple of friendly cats and you wouldn't miss a thing.

The pillow are bit too hard. It would be nice to have a good bed side reading lamp.

Our stay at Amanta Beach was amazing ! The structure is very comfortable, clean and well located. The manager was super welcoming and flexible on check-in / check-out times. Dinner and food was great. Absolutely nothing to change, we would have loved to stay longer. Recommend to all !

Everything was great

The location is gorgeous! As long as you're fully prepared for how remote it is, Amanta really is a lovely spot. You're far away from anything else at this point, and you have your own private beach. I was often out there all alone - I felt like I had the entire ocean to myself! There are beach beds and towels and everything, which is nice. And the staff are all very kind and helpful. Breakfast was good, although I always find it strange when I'm served things like white/American bread -- I came here to eat Sri Lankan food! If you're looking for a nice, quiet relaxing time on the beach, this is definitely the spot for that.

I hate to complain at all because the spot really was lovely, but there were a few things that made our stay a little less than perfect that hopefully the hotel can work on for future guests. Although we had a private garden, the hotel staff would often show up in our garden unannounced, which is not right when the whole point is to have some privacy. To open the curtains to find the gardener standing right there is disconcerting to say the least! They should knock and let you know they're going to clean up before entering. Other than that, I was a bit disappointed by the amount of bugs and lizard poo in the room and bathroom. I know we're in nature and there's only so much that can be done, but to be paying that much for a poorly sealed room... it's a bit disappointing :/ Lastly, it would be nice to have some affordable dinner options at the hotel. Everywhere else we stayed offered a reasonable dinner option and the location for this one is so remote, it would be nice to have the option to order dinner without paying 7k rupees for an entire 4-course meal, lovely as it may have been. Be prepared to take a 10-15-minute tuk tuk to dinner if you're staying for a few nights!

amazing staff, gorgeous beach, very beautiful area

The facility and beach were fantastic. And the garden walk from your room to the beach side and restaurant was just wow, so tranquil and instantly put you in a light and trouble-free state of mind. We loved the decor of the room and the Ayurvedic bathroom products provided. There were adorable kittens and content dogs roaming around. Almost like a paradise.

The AC took too long to cool down. For the price, toilet amenities should be provided. It was also a bit hard to find the staff sometimes as they are nowhere to be found. As a guest, you wouldn’t want to search the resort to find the staff in order to get some watermelon juice. There might be ways to improve this. Lastly, they provided a 4-course dinner there for 7000 rupees a person. We liked the taste but the portion was really small. We hope there could be more options provided in the resort. We ended up ordering food deliveries from nearby restaurant.

We had a very relaxing time at Amanta Beach. Beautiful room, spacious&well designed. We loved the outdoor area (garden/ beach) a lot & enjoyed the calming atmosphere. The two dogs are gorgeous, friendly and it’s very nice to see & good to know that they are treated well & a have a home. ♥️🙏🏽 Unfortunately, this is not a matter of course in the Trincomalee area.

nice owner, great location - wide beach with sun loungers, beautiful garden, unique cuisine

The best place for a relaxed holiday at the beach. Everything is perfect, it is all in the details…. The maintenance is excellent. The owners wife is French so you can feel it in the interiors. The wide beach is spotless clean, they check it every day. Next to a cute fisherman place with little boats. Lovely garden. The swimming pool is very cute. The food is very good. The chefs worked in 5 star hotels. They can arrange tuk tuk and different tours ( they do not charge commission). Thank you for this little paradise!

We stayed at Amanta Beach Resort for two nights and wished we would have stayed for a week! The property is beautiful and private but close enough to Nilaveli & Trinco that you could take a Tuk Tuk if you needed to. The rooms were spotless, beautiful, and everything worked perfectly (including the air con). As previous reviewers have said, the beach is your own little private slice of paradise. We were there a few weeks before the heavy season, so the seas were a bit rough, but we spent many hours lounging in the chairs on the sand! The food was amazing too! We had dinner one night and it was one of the best meals that we've had on our year abroad. The owner/chef comes out and explains everything and tells you where he got the ingredients from (mostly his on-site garden). Shyakthi and his staff make this place what it is! They all go above and beyond to make sure you're enjoying yourself and that you're comfortable. They put a lot of time and energy into the entire experience and it shows. There is a reason this hotel is rated 9+ on Booking and you should definitely come see for yourself!

It was perfect! We wished we could have stayed longer.
