Food was excellent. Staff accommodated our requests late checkout, and looked after us whilst waiting for transit to airport. We only stayed one night but would love to return for a longer visit. Mukesh was particularly attentive.

A great place to rest up for a few days.

A great place to rest up for a few days. Great restaurants along Light House Beach and fabulous shopping opportunities for gem jewellery, clothes and textiles, many are tucked away down the side alleys. Delicious food at Crab Club! Ali's Restaurant and Curry Leaf round the bay are both great places away from the hustle of the main stretch.

There’s crazy traffic on the roads - no rules, no traffic lights (maybe just one!), yet no crashes, no accidents, and no pedestrians getting run over! 🤪 There are lots good fish restaurants, but sanitation is still questionable.

Compared to Varkala I found it easy.

Compared to Varkala I found it easy. It’s well geared-up for Europeans and the shopping is great. However, it’s a small place so ten days was far too long for me to be there. On the whole it is cheaper than Varkala and although dangerous for swimming, it is manageable, unlike Varkala where I was unable to actually swim for five days

2 or 3 days is enough for a short break in the beach area as its quite small.Nice restaurants and shops,beach and sea clear.Sun loungers and parasols cheap for the day .Street sellers can be pushy and too many but they just trying to get business.

Good place to visit but stay in the hotels on the main road. Enjoy sea food in the restaurants on the beach. The beach needs clean up of rubbish. The best place to eat was Lonely Planet and Jeevan restaurant for beer and food.

Kovalam is a nice beach.

Kovalam is a nice beach. I had visited this place almost 40 yrs back as a kid but this time was a difference experience altogether. It is great if you are able to hire a car here and then move around. The experience from lighthouse on the lighthouse beach is something unique. The beach itself is nice and clean and you do get beds at INR 100 where you can rest and put your clothes while you take a small dip in the sea. In case you are looking for vegetarian food, the options are less but not non-existent. Overall a very nice stay.

The property is well located close to the Kovalam beach. The staff will pick you up at the lighthouse and escort till the hotel. The staff especially the general manager Anu Lal goes above and beyond for their guests. I had taken ill as soon as I reached Trivandrum and he took care of me from medicines to food everything was at my disposal - as a solo woman traveller, I felt super safe and cared for. I would highly recommend this property for their hospitality.

The best location to stay when visiting Kovalam is a resort where you can walk to Lighthouse Beach and even see the top of the lighthouse from your room. You can also easily visit the lighthouse from the beach. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is peaceful without any hustle and bustle.

Great location in Chowara Beach … a lot quieter than Kovalam itself. Super comfortable connected rooms with balconies … perfect for a family. Big pool … which they are re-fitting. Lovely service and restaurant. We got a good deal on this hotel and loved it!!
