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

    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.

    Room was comfortable and clean . However bathroom are smaller and without handrails for elderly and this caused some concerns about possible slips on wet floors. Air conditioning worked well unlike some hotels I recently stayed at. Breakfast was sumptuous and varied with great tasting special toffee and tea, Kerala style. There was a possible security lapse when someone with a keys was seen trying to enter our room whilst people were inside the room . We reported this to reception but did not receive further information or explanation.

    Great hotel close to the beach. Highly recommended for a decent stay. There was parking in the premises. The bed room was clean the bed comfortable and the bathroom with Western toilet. It is only a short walk to the beach area where you can find many restaurants for every taste. Kovalam is a laid back destination where it is safe to bathe and there are some watersports available. This hotel is recommended. The front office staff is welcoming and helpful.

    Very well maintained property at a good location where you are surrounded by 5star hotels and resorts. The Samurdra beach is just 10mtrs and the waves truly enjoyable, my son totally loved it. The hotel has their own restaurant serving good food and breakfast. Evenings are much pleasant and the rooms are really cozy.
