Kovalam Hotel Guide - 5 stars Hotels in Kovalam, India

My feeling about this place was as if I was in the top of trees surrounded by lush green but not away from the sea. It was splendid experience for me

This is a very special place, tranquil, clean and safe. But don't go expecting Western standards of luxury -- what you are paying for is an unrivalled position overlooking the Arabian Sea, the lush and well-kept grounds, authentic Keralan architecture, and a friendly staff. Do book one of the Heritage premium cottages as near to the sea as possible, and immerse yourself in this green paradise. A week-long stay taking advantage of the (rather expensive) Ayurvedic therapies would be an ideal way to unwind after a wider-ranging tour of India, or for a self-indulgent break. You have everything you need on-site, so you don't have to brave Trivandrum or Kovalam (neither worth it). The Indian dishes in the cafe are delicious and good value; the boutique has some nice things, well priced especially with the generous discount offered. Enjoy!

I was attending the wedding of my friend's daughter. I combined this with a holiday both, before and after the wedding. I am very glad that I did so. One couldn't have got a better bunch of staff! They were polite, courteous and went out of their way to be helpful. I shall definitely visit repeatedly.
