Hotels near Vellayani Lake

"The hospitality, grace of all the team was world class. Sushmita and Akansha stood apart and making sure that all of our quirks were met with a smile. It is a beautiful property and highly recommend staying in the hotel if visiting Kovalam"

"We had a fantastic 4 days at this resort. Everything was spectacular. From taking the little boat to dinner, to the gorgeous view from our room and balcony, to the people who were so kind and helpful to us, I can't say enough. I think the best part is that you are out of the hustle of the main beach area and in a serene and quiet backwater area. It's just a short ride to the beach shops and restaurants though. Also, be sure to take advantage of the Ayurvedic treatments and massage. It's like nothing we can get in the USA. Pushpa is my girl! She is small but mighty and I felt like $1M after a few treatments from her. Overall, this is an overlooked gem since Covid so it's time to get here while you can!"

"We have travelled all over the world but our stay at the UDAY was superb, the staff went beyond our expectations We would definitely be coming back in the very near future I would like to have a special mention to the Manager's for the catering, Prasants, Soumitra also a special thanks to Blesson also a Nijin, Jyothy and sindhu All the staff who made our family stay a very enjoyable one Must not forget our room attendant Adarsh And all the staff are a credit to the Hotel Cheryl, Scott and Carlton Johnson "

"Gorgeous and excellent service. "

"Lovely property with amazing views of the beach The rooms were very nice and we loved the food at the restaurant "

"SomaPalmshore is an amazing place to stay if you just want to chill out for a while. The people are first class and were always there to help. The garden and pool are really clean and well maintained. The beach at the bottom of the garden feels as if it's private because so few people go there. Sunset from the rocks will melt you. "

"I like location and its restaurant"

"We had a great two weeks in the hotel with the staff being very flexible in accommodating us. The hotel is metres away from the beach, we had a sea view room with air conditioning which was very pleasant. However, the photos of the hotel on Expedia we saw are at least 20 years old and the hotel is no way a 4* hotel by western standards. There is no restaurant as part of the hotel any more, although there is a breakfast room which seems to get food from a neighbouring hotel. We were given western breakfast options (cereals, toast, eggs etc) each day, along with fresh cut fruits and coffee. There are a large number of restaurants within walking distance, along the beachfront, and we ate at least twice in the ones we visited. The majority of tourists during our visit were Indian including a large number of family groups, but we were made to feel welcome. Overall, glad we chose this hotel for our Christmas getaway"
