Top Kovalam Hotel Reviews

Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very good, nice to be back for a second visit. Xx"

Ganesh House Homestay

10/10 Excellent

"Attractive, old-fashioned, quiet country home. Completely clean and spacious. Warm, friendly host. Nice available storage space, ventilation and locks. Received soap, incest repellent, toilet tissue, drinking water and clean towels regularly. Good AC and fan in the room. Bathing wasn't so fun; no working shower nor warm water. It's hard to find food as a foreigner. Swiggy is clueless and the chow halls/diners and grocery are a brisk walk up hill. In addition to the iffy food storage and cooking space. Not business friendly; nowhere comfortable to use a laptop. This is a nice place to get stuck with your partner. Nothing else really. But I still really liked it here solo, in addition to other set backs."

Kovalam Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is a place full of character. Delightful staff (limited English with some did not take away from their kindness and personal care). The building is all traditional Kerala, lots of dark wood, and a very amusing lift playing Tamil music. My balcony faced the fires of coconut palms, with birds occasionally calling out, but the dominant sound was the breakers as the beach is 20 metres down the lane. The room was spacious and comfortable: a bit old fashioned so this is not a modern smart business hotel. It is much better. I really enjoyed my stay. The worst thing was the feeble WiFi. Plenty of storage and the bathroom entirely adequate. Its proximity to the beach, the quieter end, is a bonus. "

The Ocean Park Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"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"
