We had a fantastic stay at the resort, with exceptional hospitality from the staff and beautiful views from our room. The location was peaceful and right by the beach, making it a great spot for relaxation. However, the lunch snack menu was underwhelming and could use some improvement in variety.

I had a wonderful stay at Anantaya Resort & Spa, a perfect beach getaway between the ocean and the lagoon.

My experience at this hotel was a mixed bag. While the location between the ocean and river is stunning with a natural feel, the rooms need some serious attention as they felt a bit outdated. The service was friendly, particularly in the restaurant, but the dining options could be improved, especially for water charges during dinner. Overall, it's a lovely place to relax but could use better maintenance and service focus.

Our honeymoon stay at the resort had some ups and downs. While the room was spacious and clean, it lacked the special touches we expected for a honeymoon. The service was friendly and smooth, with efficient check-in and delicious food. However, the dining experience could use more variety and special attention for honeymooners. Overall, it was comfortable, but not quite the romantic experience we had hoped for.
