Great budget accommodation. It’s very quiet and lush green around. And spacious rooms. Robin (the manager) is very accommodating and so friendly, that makes all the difference. Also carrying your luggage from the street to the building. As well Robin makes you such na nice breakfast and is very helpful and inviting to feel at home. Definitely a recommendable backpacker place to just overnight. All-in-all: I enjoyed my 2-day-stay!

    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 location is really good, behind the lighthouse on the light house road, 5 min walk to two beaches. Extremely close to the beach and decent restaurants and Kovalam beach yet nicely tucked away from the touristy lanes and traffic of Kovalam beach. The rooms were neat and well maintained and looked after by Mr. Babu who was extremely pro-active, attentive, responsible and responsive, courteous and helpful with any information/assistance we required. The services, location and basic amenities are a real value for money.

    It was my second time at this hotel and I felt like at home. The owner Shida is always very welcoming and caring. The hotel is clean, cozy and safe. From balcony we see a beautiful view of the sea. The beach is nearby, along the coastline there are restaurants with fish and seafood and vegetarian cuisine, many different shops. Thanks a lot to Shida for her hospitality. I plan to come again and recommend this hotel to my friends for staying in Kovalam!

    Beautiful, large hotel in idyllic setting. The rooms were lovely and clean and very big with all the facilities you could need. The swimming pools and grounds are well maintained and it’s in a great location on the beach and quiet away from all the hustle and bustle of Lighthouse beach which is a 15 minute drive away.
