We've had a really nice long stay here. The owner is very welcoming and provides good care for all the guests. The receptionist is so helpful and friendly. The building is new and modern together with very clean rooms and furniture. Cleaning service, new towels with bedsheets/linens are provided easily. Customer satisfaction is guaranteed and I definitely can recommend it here! The rooms were designed well so that they get ventilated enough. We never had to worry about moisture or mold at all thanks to that. This is very important in the tropics! We've used a powered mosquito repellent at nights and never had issues with mosquitos when sleeping. The hotel location is very safe and quiet. Solo traveling women stay here comfortably. There are rooms available both with single beds or double beds. The beds were comfortable. Hot water gets heated up so fast that it's always available. The wardrobes are big enough for families. There are ceiling fans available also in the balconies.

The hotel is small, very close to the beach, but quiet. Green courtyard, our rooms looked out onto a small garden, very nice. The owner extended our room until 15.00 without any problems, free of charge, which was very nice. Recommend this place in Kovalam.

We had a lovely stay. The room was spacious with enough place for our bags and the food was delicious, made by a cook who is very passionate and great at his job! In the back they have a wonderful sitting area where the food is served and you can play games or drink something. It was very cosy. There is also a really cute dog who like to be petted, but no worries.. If you don't like dogs, the owners tell her to leave and she does so. The host and staff are super friendly and helped us with everything. We hope to come back and enjoy this great stay again!

    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.

    Amazing serene location with a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the beach and a good private beach. Nestled in the midst of a lot of greenery. The place is extremely relaxing and the staff are very friendly. The place also has a very homely feel with beautiful private cottages rather than the usual hotel feel which I preferred over Leela Kovalam. Overall absolutely loved it and will definitely recommend!

    The property is exquisite. It is comfortably small with few rooms, all facing the panoramic view of the ocean, hills, and the lighthouse. The breakfast spread is delicious, the rooms are spacious, every staff member went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests and the swimming pool is extremely pleasant. If you are looking to stay in Kovalam, this is definitely the property to select.

    Great location in Chowara Beach … a lot quieter than Kovalam itself. Super comfortable connected rooms with balconies … perfect for a family. Big pool … which they are re-fitting. Lovely service and restaurant. We got a good deal on this hotel and loved it!!
