Enjoyed the stay at the Anantara, a little dated in terms of room and hotel features, not as presentable and attractive as it looks in the photos which were clearly taken some time back. Rooms are a good size and beds are comfortable. A single large pool is well kept and overlooks the mangroves which is actual quite serene. The gym is actually really good, lots of equipment and well maintained including weights and cardio machines. A few quick thank yous to Parvesh at the pool side bar, to Cynthia in housekeeping, and the gym staff. Overall this is a 3/5 resort, it does need to be better staffed even during covid, services times at bars and restaurants are very slow which is a management issue for pulling back resources. This really does impact the overall quality of your stay and should be addressed.
