Amaranthe Bay Resort & Spa arvostelua

We stayed 3 nights at the resort. It was very peaceful and a great place to relax after touring Anuradhapura. It’s also a great base for exploring the surrounding area. A big thank you to all of the staff who without exception were warm, friendly and responsive to any request. It suited us that they had an la carte dining menu as we are not buffet fans. My partner had Sri Lankan rice & curry one evening which was an amazing fish curry with a selection of vegetarian dishes. We had a beautiful and very spacious room with a great view over the lagoon - thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

We spent a week at Amaranthe Bay Hotel in Trincomalee in February 2025. It is a wonderful hotel with delightful landscaped gardens and a superb pool. We had a mini suite on the ground floor with fabulous views over the Mahaweili River Estuary which was teaming with wildlife such as birds and fish. The hotel fixtures and fittings are very modern and it has obviously been updated since some of the reviews from the last decade. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful and the food and service were fabulous. They even went as far as to lay on a special shellfish banquet next to the river on Valentine’s evening. Reception were very helpful at organising excursions or arranging for Tuk-Tuks to visit local attractions. As I have already said all the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful but we must give a special mention to barman Kirujan who always ensured we were supplied with drinks whether on the veranda, terrace or next to the pool!
