The host, Mr.Arun was very friendly. He cooperated well & was very helpful. The location is very close to the beach. They also had some activities like quad bike & paint pall games. The property was very neat & clean. Worth for what we pay. Thanks & kudos to the whole team. I would certainly recommend this property to my friends.

I absolutely loved staying at this property — it had such a warm and inviting atmosphere. There was something about the space that just felt calm and relaxing the moment I walked in. It was peaceful, private, and had a really positive energy throughout. The location was ideal — quiet and safe, yet still close to everything I needed. I felt genuinely comfortable and at ease the whole time. It was the kind of place you instantly feel at home in. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly pleasant experience.

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.

Brilliant place to stay in Kovalam. Probably the best hotel due to the facilities and excellent location for walking into lighthouse beach restaurants, shops etc. Staff, food, rooms, cleanliness, swimming pool, totally great. We didn’t do the Ayurveda treatments but did do a yoga class. The Ayurveda appeared to be excellent but can’t vouch for this personally.
