    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

    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.

    I had a wonderful stay at New Kovalam Beach Hotel. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach, yet peaceful and relaxing. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities like the pool added to the experience. What truly stood out was the staff: they were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. Their warm hospitality made my stay memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kovalam

    Centrally located, 3 star hotel with friendly staff, super clean, spacious rooms and a comfy bed. - On the path from the hotel to the street, you will see a clothes shop. It's the last shop. Tina from Karnataka is the owner. She sells cool clothes and souvenirs. Definitely check it out!

    The entrance to the hotel looks very inviting but nothing else about this hotel is anything to be proud or celebrated. It’s definitely not 5 star it’s more a 3 star hotel priced at a 5 star hotel.
