Excellent staff and very friendly service. We stayed in a room where we had a fabulous scenic view. Pool area was very calming. It was great to have a spa on-site as well. Very relaxing place if you don’t want to live in the center of noise and massive tourist areas. Loved it!

Very good value for money! Super friendly staff and owner. Very clean room, bathroom, pool... In fact, the whole property is meticulously maintained and nicely decorated. Beautiful location and garden. The massage they proposed in a nearby ayurvedic center was excellent as well. Jeevan's place is an absolute must when you're in the area!

The River Loom is a fantastic place beautifully set in nature, immediately on a river bank and a stone throw away from the beach. The room was nicely decorated and had everything needed for a short stay. We particularly loved the garden and the terrace with all its beautiful plants! The host and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! We came as guests and left as friends :-). Absolutely recommendable without reservations!

A hospitable hostess, she always helped in any matter with goodwill and suggested the best solutions. The balcony offers a magnificent view of the ocean. The beach without waves (near Hotel Lilla) is a 10-minute walk away.

Rockholm at the Light House Beach

Kovalam

Set in Kovalam, 200 metres from Light House Beach, Rockholm at the Light House Beach offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area.

We've stayed in Rockholm for 2 weeks and really enjoyed it The restaurant is so good that we didn't bother to go and eat somewhere else most of the time when we were at the hotel. Besides the regular menu they can also do something on request and all of that is very reasonably priced (compared to most of the European prices for the same quality and service). The breakfast is mainly vegetarian but variety is wide enough and some options are changed every day, we tried something new in different combinations every day. Non-veg breakfast options are always present but limited and some of the breakfast dishes could be spicy The receptionists are very helpful and helped us with the currency exchange, helped to book a scooter (since it was a low season it was hard to find anything working), arranged a reliable transfer to the airport at a good price (compared to an external transfer booking services), they can also help with everything related to tours and other activities We've really enjoyed the pool, even though it's not so big and rather shallow it appeared to be good enough for us. The water, pool itself and surrounding area were very clean. We didn't go to the beach but during the daytime it could be really considered as a private beach as there's always nobody even though the beach itself looks pleasant and clean, at the evening there will be cloud of locals watching the sunset and local kids playing football The room itself was clean, cozy and with enough lighting options. WiFi has proven to be stable and rather fast. And of course the view from the balcony is breathtaking and it's main feature of the hotel for sure The location is also nice, in a very quiet and somewhat secluded area but in just 5 minutes walk to the main beach with all other hotels and restaurants All the staff is very helpful and sincerely friendly

My partner and I stayed at Ganesh Holiday Home for 3 nights and are from the UK. We had a great stay and loved the location as it was just a short ride to the beach but away from too many tourist spots. The room had everything we needed and was clean with AC. We both had massages and Kizhi which were excellent and a good introduction to Ayurveda. Breakfast was included and delicious and we also ate dinner here twice - the fish curry was great. We would recommend to others looking for somewhere to stay near Kovalam and the price is very good value. Thank you to Ganesh holiday home for our stay :)

Beautiful location, good facilities, clean as you would expect from Leela, they have great facilities and are well looked after. The property needs air-conditioning in common areas. This is big a let down. Mosquito control is essential! Staff members - Hema, Anila, Jobi, Jamshed, Shraddha, Ajin need a special mention as they go out of their way to make things work. We would definitely visit again! Thank you for a pleasant experience overall.
